In Chapter 473 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 473 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.
Human nature is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Sometimes, folks genuinely wish you well. But when disaster strikes, their kicks while you're down are just as real. People are drawn to self-interest like moths to a flame.
If Anastasia hadn't married into the Salstrom dynasty, hadn't risen above Cynthia's family in social standing, maybe the green-eyed monster of envy would have stayed at bay. The chilly bonds of kinship might've endured a little longer.
Cynthia hailed a cab to Southridge Estates to find Salma, while Gianna drove off to the police station.
Southridge Estates.
Salma was beside herself with worry. She longed to check on the situation at the police station, but Pattie was home, and the thought of the child grappling with the harsh truth was unbearable. Even Salma's phone calls were a covert operation, designed to keep Pattie in the dark.
She dialed Monica's number, learning she was on her way to the station. That bit of news offered a smidgen of relief. On the phone, she implored, "Monica, darling, the moment you hear anything, you call me, okay? After you check on Ana, swing by my place."
"Sure thing, Aunt Salma. Just keep your chin up. I'm on it," Monica assured her. "I've rung up Herman, but it’s still murky over at the Salstroms'. If things go south, I'll get Ana the best lawyer in town."
Tears rimmed Salma's eyes as she thanked Monica, her voice quivering. "Thank you, my dear. I don't know what to do... she's my only daughter."
The sound of Pattie descending the stairs forced a quick end to the call.
Pattie, clutching a teddy bear, stood on the staircase and asked, "Grandma, why isn't Mommy back yet? Didn't Daddy find her?"
Salma fought back her tears, mustering a faltering smile. "Pattie, darling, Mommy's away on a trip, she'll be back once she's done. Are you hungry? Grandma will make you some mac 'n' cheese."
Pattie shook her head. "Grandma, did something happen to Mommy? Can I call her?"
The skepticism in Pattie's eyes cut through Salma's ruse.
With a painted-on smile, Salma insisted, "Silly girl, why won't you trust Grandma? Your mom's gone abroad. She can't take calls on the plane. Daddy's taking her on a little getaway. Now, be a good girl and play upstairs. I'll fix us some food."
