In Chapter 599 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 599 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.
Anastasia was burning up with fever, shivering one moment and sweating the next.
Panicking, Salma rushed to find Dr. James. "Dr. James, you have to come quickly! Ana suddenly has a high fever."
"Stay calm, I'm on it," James assured her.
Anastasia drifted in and out of consciousness, sometimes feeling freezing and other times burning hot.
James took her temperature with a thermometer. "39.5°C. We need to bring her fever down fast. Aunt Salma, do we have any fever reducers? Check the medicine cabinet, second shelf. It's labeled. Hurry!"
"Right away," Salma replied, hurrying off to get the medication.
As soon as Salma left, James checked Anastasia's pulse and his expression turned serious. He let go of her wrist, went to the bathroom, and soaked a towel in cold water. Returning, he gently placed the towel on Anastasia's forehead to cool her down.
"Dr. James, I got the medicine," Salma said, coming back with the pills. "Is it this one, ibuprofen?"
"That won't be necessary," James said, putting the pills aside. "In Anastasia's condition, she can't take any fever reducers. Aunt Salma, could you prepare some warm water? We need to sponge her down to reduce the fever. I'll go grab some cooling patches."
Salma was confused. "Why can't she take the medicine?"
James glanced at Anastasia, who was delirious with fever. "She's pregnant."
Salma thought she must have misheard, her heart swelling with surprise and joy. "Dr. James, is it true? Ana's really pregnant? She can still have children?"
Salma knew well the state of Anastasia's health and had not held out much hope.
James nodded. "When I checked her pulse just now, it was clear. She's pregnant. It's nothing short of a miracle. The last time I did a full check-up on her, her health was in bad shape, and the chances of conception were slim. Yet here we are."
Salma couldn't help but smile. "Heaven must be looking out for Ana."
She whispered a prayer of thanks into the air.
Now that Anastasia was pregnant, fever reducers were off the table. James had to rely on alternative methods to manage her fever.
