In Chapter 604 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 604 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 felt like she'd stumbled upon a lifeline, a spark of hope, and she was buzzing with excitement. The doll had been tossed out by Cynthia, and the hotel janitor had mentioned seeing a doll talking to Pattie. It couldn't just be a coincidence that it was the same doll. Deep down, Anastasia was sure Gianna was involved.
Unable to contain her excitement, Anastasia was ready to confront Gianna, but Dailey stopped her, "Sis, these aren't solid evidence. They just make Gianna look more suspicious. If you rush over now, you'll just tip her off."
"I know, but I can't hold back, Dailey. I've finally got a lead. Pattie must have been taken by Gianna, I'm sure of it."
While Anastasia and Dailey talked, the old lady from the neighborhood tried to slip away quietly. Anastasia noticed and quickly caught up to her. "Hey, can I buy that doll from you? Name your price, I'll pay."
This was crucial evidence. The old lady was hesitant, "My grandson loves it. If I sell it, he'll definitely cry..."
"How about a hundred bucks?" Anastasia offered, pulling out her phone. "I'll transfer it to you right now. That's more than enough to buy several of these dolls."
The old lady's eyes lit up at the mention of a hundred bucks. It was like finding money on the street. Seeing how straightforward Anastasia was, she decided to push her luck, "Make it two hundred, take it or leave it."
Anastasia agreed without a second thought, "Alright, two hundred, I'll send it now."
The old lady immediately regretted not asking for more but, seeing Dailey with Anastasia, she didn't make a fuss. She happily took the money and handed over the doll. Feeling like she'd just scored an easy two hundred bucks, the old lady was quite pleased, thinking how some folks just don't know the value of money these days.
Having secured the doll, Anastasia calmed down and focused on Gianna's apartment, "Just keep an eye on her, and I refuse to believe we can't find Pattie."
Anastasia decided not to involve the police this time, knowing their approach might tip Gianna off and ruin everything. Dailey said, "Gianna hasn't left her apartment in a week. She's bound to step out soon; no one stays cooped up at home forever."
