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 457 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.
Monica's face was flushed with righteous anger, while Anastasia just stared blankly out the window, silent as a mouse.
Seeing Anastasia like this took Monica back to a few years ago, when Anastasia was battling depression. The memory sent a shiver down her spine. She quickly grabbed Anastasia's hand and pleaded, “Ana, don't let yourself fall back into that dark place. I'm here for you. If you need to cry, just let it out. Cry as much as you need.”
Gianna, standing nearby, added, “Anastasia, you're still young. The Salstroms brought in the best doctors to save your womb. You'll still be able to have children in the future.”
Monica snapped, “Why on earth would she want to have a child with the Salstroms after what they've done? Ana, I've got your back here. I'll make sure the Salstroms pay for their actions.”
Gianna retorted, “So what? You want Anastasia to divorce Herman over this?”
That wasn't what Monica meant, but she couldn't just let it slide.
Out of nowhere, Anastasia spoke up, “Herman and I come from two different worlds. He comes from a world with high gates that are hard to squeeze into. It's better not to force it; it only brings discomfort to everyone involved.”
Hearing that Anastasia was considering divorce, a flicker of joy crossed Gianna's heart.
Monica was taken aback, “Ana, don't think like that. Herman is a good man. This was the doing of that wicked old witch. You can't just hand over such a good husband. You should make the best of your life with Herman, have a whole football team of kids to spite that old witch. By the way, is it a crime to harm a five-month-old fetus? Would it be considered a homicide?”
Gianna shook her head, “No, an unborn child is considered part of the mother and not yet a human being in its own right, so it wouldn't count as homicide. Nevertheless, what Grannie Anita did to Anastasia is a crime. She could be sued. But Anastasia, she's Herman's grandmother. Are you ready to burn bridges with the Salstroms?”
Deep down, Gianna hoped Anastasia would pursue the matter. Only if Anastasia fell out with the Salstroms would her relationship with Herman potentially crumble.
Monica looked at Anastasia, not wanting her to sever ties with the Salstroms, and advised, “Ana, don't act hastily. What did Herman say? It was his child too; how is he handling it?”
Monica was advising Anastasia not to be impulsive, yet she herself had been very impulsive. She wasn't afraid to confront the Salstroms. But Anastasia couldn't afford to do the same.
