In Chapter 769 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 769 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 curled up under her cozy duvet, listening to the rain patter against the window. Sleep was elusive, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. All she yearned for was to nestle into Herman’s arms and find peace in sleep. "Herman, Herman..." she whispered into the night.
Meanwhile, in Willowbrook, a sudden flash of lightning split the sky, followed by a crack of thunder. Herman jolted awake, a strange unease gripping him, as if someone had been calling his name. He rubbed his chest, trying to shake off the feeling, then splashed his face with cold water in the bathroom. His flight to Riverdale was scheduled for 2 PM the next day, and he was eager to be on his way.
With sleep teasing him, Herman decided to pack his suitcase, counting down the hours until dawn. By noon, he was all set to head to the airport when Sandy burst in, panic written all over her face.
“George, something terrible has happened! Uncle Nicholas was in a car accident and is in the hospital. You need to go see him right away.”
Hearing about Nicholas’s accident, Herman's brow furrowed. “Which hospital?”
“First Hope Hospital,” Sandy replied hurriedly. “They called me; Uncle’s in the ER.”
Setting his luggage aside, Herman rushed to the hospital with Sandy. To everyone else, he was George, Nicholas’s son. Despite his doubts about his own identity, until he had absolute proof, he would remain George. Nicholas had always looked after him, and Herman couldn’t turn his back on that.
The hospital was tense outside the emergency room. The family of the driver involved in the accident was there too; the driver was injured and being treated inside. The driver's wife, sitting in the waiting area, was unhurt but frantic with worry over her husband. She explained to the traffic officer, “It wasn’t my husband’s fault. The old man walked into the road without looking. My husband tried to brake, but it was too late, and it was a green light...”
Herman arrived just in time to hear the conversation. The accident had been caused by Nicholas running a red light, leaving the driver unable to avoid the collision. In trying to avoid him, the driver crashed into a barrier, wrecking the car and injuring himself.
A doctor emerged from the ER, calling out, “Is anyone here Nicholas’s family?”
Herman stepped forward. “I am. How is my father?”
