The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 315

Anastasia's heart pounded like a drum. She could feel the footsteps of the person behind her getting closer and closer, so she dared not make any sudden movements and pretended to be asleep.

Just as she perceived the person to be right behind her, she quickly whipped out her stun gun. With her eyes tightly shut, she overcame her psychological fear and swung it towards the other person.

"Ouch, honey, you trying to murder your own husband?" A familiar voice echoed in the dimness.

Anastasia was taken aback, eyes fluttering open. "Herman?" In the dim light, after adapting to this kind of illumination, she could also roughly make out the other person's facial features.

Anastasia was flabbergasted. "How... How could it be you?"

Herman rubbed his arm that had just been shocked by the stun gun and looked at her with a helpless yet affectionate expression. "Honey, that was quite a whack. You almost killed me."

The stun gun's potency was indeed significant; Herman's arm was still numb.

Anastasia was startled out of her wits just a while ago, and now Herman was cracking jokes. She was fuming. She raised up the stun gun. “Do you know that I could zap you to death? Don't you know you could scare them to death?”

Anastasia was just bluffing; she wouldn't really use it.

Herman chuckled. “I missed you and thought to give you a surprise.” With that, he attempted to embrace Anastasia, only to accidentally bump into the stun gun again, letting out a hiss from the shock.

"Herman, let me see where you got zapped?" Anastasia was fraught with worry, she quickly switched off the stun gun, tossed it aside, and hurriedly checked if Herman was hurt.

Herman immediately covered his arm, the actor in him kicking in. “It hurts, I am numb, and I can't move anymore.”

Anastasia fell for it and anxiously asked, “Where does it hurt, let me see.”

Anastasia appeared somewhat at a loss, unsure whether he was really injured and, if so, how serious it was. The stun gun was pretty powerful.

“It hurts here.” Herman took Anastasia's hand and placed it on his chest, his eyes filled with deep affection. “Missing you hurts my heart.”

Realizing she was teased again, Anastasia stomped on Herman’s foot angrily. “If you do this again, believe it or not, I will remarry tomorrow.”

At the crucial moment, she said, “Hold on, you don't have protection.”

“Do we still need it?”

Anastasia herself laughed, it seemed they didn't really need it. Both of them were infertile. Ever since they found out they were incapable of having children, their marital life had not involved using protection. It was a complete waste.

Anastasia had a good night's sleep, but Ashley truly couldn't.

Ashley felt a chill running down her spine, the thought of Anastasia possibly having evidence against her for kidnapping and bone marrow extraction sent shivers down her spine. Ashley returned to the Morton family in a huff, and quickly came to see Tavon. “Tavon, I'm doomed. I've been set up by that wench, you have to save me.”

“What happened?” Tavon was bewildered. This was the first time he had seen Ashley in such a panic.

Ashley ground her teeth and said, “That wench, I hired two idiots to kidnap Anastasia, planning to send her to Bruce and extract her bone marrow. But I was set up by Anastasia, she knows everything. I didn't manage to kidnap her and my plan was exposed. What if Anastasia uses the evidence to report me?”

After hearing the whole story, Tavon had a headache. “How could you be so foolish? Why would you hire such unreliable people for such a thing. And how could you even show up in person? Isn't this just handing over the evidence? This is illegal.”
