The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 554

Anastasia took the reins and immediately whisked Tavon off to the hospital for a thorough checkup. The rumors were true: Tavon had suffered a stroke due to a heart attack. The stroke was severe, and his chances of recovery seemed slim.

As Tavon lay in the hospital bed, tears welled up in his eyes. Being a robust man in his early fifties, the thought of spending the rest of his days bedridden was unbearable.

His son-in-law, Herman, tried to reassure him. "Let's get you back to the Big Apple to see a specialist I know. There's a miracle worker there, and I'll do my best to get him to take a look at you."

Hearing this, Tavon’s eyes filled with tears again, and he made a muffled sound of gratitude. That’s my dependable son-in-law, he thought.

Tavon had no idea how Herman and Anastasia had patched things up, but seeing them together filled him with hope. Anastasia sat beside him and gently said, “Dad, I need to ask you some questions. Blink once for yes, and don’t blink for no.”

Tavon blinked to show he understood.

“Was it an accident, or did someone do this to you? Blink if someone did.”

Tavon was unsure. At first, he didn't blink, but then he did.

Anastasia frowned. “Someone did this to you?”

Tavon blinked again.

“You're not sure what happened?” Herman asked.

Tavon blinked rapidly—he really had no idea how the stroke had occurred. He remembered coming home from a social event, working in his study, and suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his chest. He passed out and woke up in the hospital like this.

“Could it have been someone in the family?” Anastasia pressed.
