The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 

Herman always flied under the radar, but when he sprung into action, it was a real jaw-dropper. Just this evening, he dropped two bombshells that had Feiman and Katelyn reeling in surprise. 

Feiman, upon hearing that his son couldn’t father a child, shot Herman a look. 

Herman: “Dad, I might not be able to father a child, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything else.” 

Feiman’s face turned beet red while even Katelyn felt awkward, caught in a mixed emotions. Despite the serious issue, Herman still had the mood for a joke. 

Herman’s sterility had his parents worried sick. Feiman asked hurriedly, “Is that true? When did this happen? You seem to be in perfect health, how can you be sterile?” 

Katelyn also expressed her concern, “Did you get this checked at the hospital? What did the doctor say?” 

Herman looked like he had something to say, but he was struggling to spit it out. He spun a yarn, “The doctor said I can’t father a child. Mom, Dad, I’m sorry I can’t carry on the Salstrom family line. That’s now Flynn’s duty.” 

Hearing this, Flynn asked anxiously, “Bro, are you pulling my leg? Are you really sterile?” 

“The hospital confirmed it. There’s no doubt,” Herman replied. “I’ve been to several hospitals and all the results were the same. That’s why I decided to adopt.” 

Katelyn asked, “Does Anastasia know?” 

“I haven’t figured out how to break it to her yet.” Herman continued his fabrication, “I’ll find the right moment to tell her everything. Mom, please keep helping us prepare for the wedding, we need to pick a new date.” 

Feiman started worrying, “What if Anastasia doesn’t want to be with you after finding out you can’t father a child? We don’t need to rush the wedding. You need to sort this out first. Herman, as a member of the Salstrom family, you should be honest and forthcoming. You can’t keep this a secret.” 

“Yeah.” Herman replied humbly, “You’re right, Dad.” 

Katelyn suggested, “With today’s advancements in medical technology, sterility isn’t the end of the world. You could consider IVF. 

Feiman gave Herman a stern look, “How can he do IVF if he’s sterile?” He sounded somewhat reproachful. 

-After that, Feiman told Flynn, “From tomorrow on, you’re going to quit drinking and smoking, and start taking care of your health. You’re 

still young. Do not to end up sterile too. Start practicing a healthy lifestyle with me.” 

Flynn couldn’t avoid the inevitable; the responsibility was now on him. 

Feiman’s anger gradually dissipated and he left with Katelyn. 

When Herman got home, Monica was also ready to leave. Anastasia saw Monica off at the door. As Monica stepped into the elevator, she said, “No need to see me off. I’ll come over again when I have the time. I’ll head back now.” 

“Okay, be careful on the road. Text me when you get home.” 

“Sure.” Monica waved as the elevator doors closed. 

When Herman was seeing off Feiman and Katelyn, Anastasia had already cleared the dinner table. Salma had went back to her own bedroom to rest, and a tired Pattie, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was asleep in the children’s room. 

Finally, the house was quiet. Anastasia sat on the sofa to rest for a bit and asked softly, “Herman, your uncle isn’t angry anymore, right?” 

“I talked it out with them, they’re not mad anymore.” Herman massaged her shoulders, “Shall we go to bed?”
