The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217 

In the evening, Herman didn’t actually crash in Monica’s bedroom. It was his upbringing and habit. 

He was also worried about Anastasia being alone here. So, he chose to hit the sack on the couch. If there was even a peep from Anastasia’s bedroom, he’d hear it. 

Monica bunked in the spare room, restless, worried Anastasia might spill some secrets in her sleep. She wasn’t sure if Herman got. wind of anything. 

Not many people knew about Anastasia’s secrets. Cason was behind bars, and Salma would surely button her lip. So, the chance of Herman knowing anything was slim. 

However, Monica remembered that Cason was locked up after he learned about Anastasia’s secret. The only one capable of pulling that off, was Herman. If Cason made a move in desperation, would he spill the beans? 

Monica felt like she was getting a bad case of the jitters. She had a hunch that Herman might know something, but then again, it seemed impossible. If he truly knew something, how could he keep his cool? 

Anastasia held the bag and ate the food, asking, “Don’t you have to go to work today?” 

When Anastasia woke up, it was already daybreak. 

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Herman walking in with a takeout bag. She quickly realized this wasn’t her bedroom and was taken aback. She soon remembered that she had gotten wasted with Monica and passed out. She was at the Franco’s. 

“Herman, what are you doing here?” Knowing how she could make a fool of herself when drunk, she asked nervously, “When did you get here?” 

“Last night.” Herman replied, “I called you and Monica said you were here. I was worried, so I came over. I ordered some takeout for you, eat up and get some energy back.” 

Seeing Herman’s kindness, Anastasia felt even more guilty. She was such a mess. How could she be good enough for Herman? Insecurity was creeping up on Anastasia, but she didn’t show it. 

“No rush.” Herman could tell Anastasia had something on her mind and said, “Later you’ll go visit your mother in the hospital, I’ll drop you off, then head to work.”

Salma was in the hospital, so of course she had to go. 

After finishing her meal, Anastasia found out Monica had gone to the beauty salon. She texted Monica and then left her place. Herman dropped her off at the hospital to be with her mother. On the way, Anastasia kept her eyes glued on Herman, adoring him, not wanting to leave him, as if every additional glance at him was one less she’d get. 

Herman knew she had something on her mind. He was waiting for her to open up, but when she didn’t, as they reached the hospital, he couldn’t hold back and said, “Anastasia, we’re married. If you’re encountering any problems, we should face them together. 

“I know.” Anastasia cut him off with a laugh, “I’m fine, you should get to work. You’ve been taking time off and leaving early because of me; it must’ve affected your work.”

Herman frowned but didn’t say more, “Call me if you need anything.” 

“Okay.” Anastasia said. 

Watching Anastasia enter the hospital, Herman finally started the car and headed towards Elysian Technologies.
