In Chapter 483 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 483 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.
Life goes on, and Salma wiped away her tears, resuming the cleaning with Pattie.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Monica had rushed over as soon as she heard that they had been kicked out of Southridge Estates.
Salma opened the door and was surprised to see her. "Monica, what brings you here?"
"I went to Southridge Estates looking for you guys, heard you got booted out, and figured you'd be back at the rental," Monica said, indignation clear in her voice. "How could the Salstroms do such a thing? Just kick you out like that? I'm going to give them a piece of my mind."
Salma stopped Monica with a shake of her head. "Ana already signed the divorce papers while in detention. I'm not asking for anything now, just hoping Ana comes back safely. Flynn said she'll be back in a couple of days."
"They really got divorced?" Monica still found it hard to believe. She had worked so hard to bring them together, hoping for their happiness. It was unthinkable that in just over a year, everything had reverted to square one.
Both Anastasia and Herman were deeply wounded.
Salma said, "Herman's still in a coma at the hospital. At this point, who can say who owes whom, who has wronged or been wronged? It's better this way."
Monica felt sorry for Anastasia and Herman's marriage. Just a month ago, they were still in love, looking forward to their baby's birth. Who could have predicted such an ending?
Monica glanced at Pattie, who was standing on the balcony with a towel, and then at the new grey hairs on Salma's head. With compassion, she said, "Auntie, Pattie, let me help you clean up. We'll make it spick and span for Anastasia's return, to start anew."
"Monica, thank you," Salma sincerely appreciated Monica's help; she had been a great support since the incident.
"Auntie, no need for formalities," Monica rolled up her sleeves and joined Pattie. "Pattie, let's get to work."
Pattie nodded, "Okay, godmother."
