In Chapter 984 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 984 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. 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.
On her way to the hospital, Monica glanced at her phone a few times.
Still nothing from Jason.
Annoyed, she flipped on the radio for a distraction.
Of course, the host was saying, “Never trust a man who says he’s too busy. ‘Busy’ is just an excuse. No matter how slammed you are, you’ve got to eat, you’ve got to use the bathroom, you’ve got a few seconds at a red light—there’s always time to text back…”
Monica groaned. Was this supposed to make her feel better? She switched off the radio, pressed her foot down, and sped to the hospital.
It was lunchtime.
Inside, Anastasia and Herman were with Pattie, taking care of her. Pattie couldn’t eat solid food and was hooked up to an IV. Watching their little girl suffer made both parents ache.
Herman had brought a bunch of gifts to cheer Pattie up. He told her stories about the world outside, hoping to distract her.
Anastasia sat beside them, just listening. The three of them looked so close, their little family moment warm and comforting.
Pattie was fascinated by Herman’s stories about the coast. She signed: Dad, is it fun by the sea?
“The view is amazing there,” Herman said, catching her drift. “Once your throat’s better and you’re out of here, I’ll be heading to the coast for work. I’ll take you with me. We’ll go out on a boat at night, look at the stars and the moon together.”
Pattie’s eyes lit up: I want to see dolphins dance.
Herman grinned. “Deal. Want to know a secret? When I was little, I saw dolphins dancing in the waves. It was incredible.”
Anastasia’s curiosity was piqued. “Really, Herman? You’ve seen dolphins dance?”
Herman laughed. “If I’m making that up, then I’m a puppy.”
Pattie and Anastasia both cracked up.
At that moment, Monica walked in and saw the happy scene. She smiled. “Looks like I’m the third wheel here. How are you feeling, Pattie?”
