The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 

Ashley would never let Tavon give a penny to Anastasia and her mom. All the money must be left to her own children. 

Tavon said, “I’m well aware. Anastasia doesn’t have much affection for me as a father. I don’t expect her to do anything for this family. I just hope she can save Sandy. I’ll give her some money then, and that’s the best I can do.” 

“You’re giving them too much no matter how much it is. She’s your daughter, and you have the right to ask her to donate bone marrow to Sandy,” Ashley said sarcastically. “You gave them money last time. If you give them money again, I’ll be very angry. You better watch 

out.” 

This was a typical case of wanting to get Anastasia’s bone marrow without paying the corresponding price. 

“I won’t give her any more money. I’ll listen to you.” Tavon was a bit fed up with Ashley’s nagging. He just wanted to end the topic. “There’s a lot to deal with in the vineyard every day. I need to call my secretary now to arrange some work.” 

Night fell. 

It was seven o’clock when Anastasia left the hospital. She stood at the hospital gate and called Herman. 

Soon, the call was answered. Anastasia heard some noise on the other end of the phone, but it soon quieted down. She asked, “Are you busy?” 

“Yes, I’m out seeing clients today.” Herman walked to a quiet place, checked the time, and said, “I’ll be home by ten o’clock tonight.” Anastasia didn’t want to go home alone, so she asked, “Where are you?” 

Herman chuckled on the phone and joked, “Darling, is this your way of testing my loyalty?” 

Anastasia laughed. “I miss you. Where are you? I’ll take a cab over, and we can go home together.” She had made up her mind, and Anastasia knew her marriage with Herman would not last long, so she wanted to cherish every moment. 

“It’s an honor to have you pick me up from work.” Herman’s mellow voice came. “I’ll send you the address. Let me know when you get here.” 

“Okay.” 

After hanging up, Anastasia received the address from Herman and took a cab there. 

The place where Herman was entertaining people was Neon Dreams, next to the previous Éclipse Lounge. A few years ago, Herman was drugged by Collin and others in this club, and his memory became blurred afterward. 

When Anastasia arrived at the entrance of Neon Dreams and saw the sign at the door, a sense of familiarity came over her. She felt as if she had been here before, although it was her first time. She stood at the entrance in a daze but couldn’t remember when she had been here. She couldn’t afford to spend time at such an upscale place. Maybe she had seen similar places on the internet or TV shows, and that’s why she felt familiar. 

Anastasia didn’t think too much about it. She walked in, and the lobby manager immediately came up to greet her enthusiastically. “Ma’am, do you have a reservation, or would you like me to arrange something for you?” 

Anastasia smiled and waved her hand. “No need, I’ll just sit in the lobby. I’m waiting for someone.” 

The lobby manager nodded. “Alright, this way, please.” 

Even if you didn’t spend money here, as long as you walked through the door, you would be treated as a VIP guest and wouldn’t face any discrimination. That was quality service. 

Anastasia sat in the lobby’s resting area, and the lobby manager immediately had lemon water brought over. 

Anastasia quickly said, “Thank you, you guys are really hospitable.” 

*Please enjoy.” 

Anastasia asked, “How much is this lemon water? I’ll pay for it.” 

“This is complimentary, no need to pay.” 

Anastasia immediately sighed, the service at upscale places really was different from ordinary places. They truly made guests feel at home. 

Anastasia sent a message to Herman. [I’m here. Don’t worry about me waiting. Finish your stuff first.]
