The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Pattie had just been wheeled out of surgery and into her hospital room. Anastasia, Katelyn, and the rest of the family rushed in, all anxious to see her.
Pattie was still out cold, but Anastasia couldn’t help herself—she gripped Pattie’s hand, her heart practically bursting with relief and joy.
Katelyn beamed. “The surgery was a total success! Once Pattie’s throat heals, she’ll finally be able to talk. This is huge for the Salstrom family. Honestly, it’s the best news we’ve had in years.”
Salma let out a long breath, a genuine smile spreading across her face. “Yeah, I can finally stop worrying. That poor girl’s been through enough.”
Out of all her grandchildren, Salma felt the most guilt over Pattie. She’d always loved her the most, too. The regret ran deep—if only she hadn’t lost Pattie all those years ago, maybe things would have turned out differently.
Feiman watched over Pattie as she slept, his expression soft. “She’s paid her dues and then some. Now it’s time for smooth sailing—may she always be safe, happy, and healthy.”
Monica nudged Anastasia, grinning. “Ana, you can finally relax. The surgery was a homerun.”
Flynn chimed in, “Told you it’d be fine! Dr. James is the best there is. With him on the job, nothing could go wrong.”
Anastasia pressed Pattie’s hand to her own cheek, her heart so full it almost hurt.
But Pattie needed rest, and a crowd of people hovering over her wasn’t going to help. After a little while, Herman signaled to Flynn and Monica to take the three grandparents home.
It was only then that Anastasia realized someone was missing.
She turned to Salma. “Mom, where’s Dad?”
Salma huffed, clearly annoyed. “Don’t get me started. He picked today of all days to go out for coffee with his friends. That man just never has a sense of timing.”
Seeing her mom’s frustration, Anastasia decided not to press for more details.
