In Chapter 616 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 616 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 was letting loose with a tirade that could strip paint. If Gianna were here, her language would probably make a sailor blush.
Back when things were good, Gianna was a regular at Monica's salon, taking advantage of a generous friends' discount and all sorts of perks. Who would've thought such a sweet-seeming person could harbor such venom?
Monica was beside herself with frustration. "Ana, is there really no way to fix Pattie's voice? Isn't James supposed to be a pro? He's her mentor, for crying out loud. Can't he do something?"
Anastasia shook her head. "I've talked to James. He's exhausted all options."
"Just like that, a healthy person is voiceless? Pattie's future is wrecked," Monica fumed, anxiety seeping through her anger.
"Shhh, keep your voice down. We don't want Pattie to hear," Anastasia cautioned, glancing upstairs.
Pattie was playing with toys in her room, a sliver of normalcy amidst the chaos.
Monica quickly softened her tone, "Ana, now that Gianna's been caught and Pattie's safe, try not to dwell on it. Who knows, with advances in medicine, there might be a way to restore her voice. Anything's possible. And you need to take care of yourself, especially with the baby on the way."
"Yeah." Anastasia clung to hope for the future, grateful that Pattie was back where she belonged.
Monica asked, "Any updates on your brother-in-law's situation?"
"Not yet," Anastasia replied. "Flynn's still under investigation."
"Herman will figure something out, I'm sure. I talked to Jason, and it sounds like there's some leeway in this case."
Anastasia casually asked, "You still in touch with him?"
"Every now and then..." Monica's words trailed off as her phone rang, Jason on the other end. Talk about timing.
Monica let out a nervous laugh before picking up. Jason needed her help again, this time to check out some evidence for a case.
While Monica playfully grumbled about being used as a detective's nose, she agreed, "Alright, give me a bit, I'll be there in half an hour."
After hanging up, she proudly told Anastasia, "They sent me a commendation flag, you know, for serving the people."
Anastasia managed a rare smile. "Look at you, all proud. You better get going."
