The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 729

Anastasia felt a chill run through her entire body, her limbs cold and heavy. She couldn't imagine how she would go on if something had truly happened to Herman. It felt like her whole world was falling apart.

The news of the landslide in Green Valley spread like wildfire online, and it wasn't long before everyone heard that Herman, the CEO of Elysian Technologies, was among the missing. The whole town of Riverdale was buzzing with rumors, wondering if Herman had indeed been caught in the disaster.

Flynn and Joseph Salstrom rushed over to Southridge Estates as soon as they heard, worried sick that Anastasia might do something drastic. Joseph was especially anxious to find out if the rumors about Herman were true.

Feiman also arrived in a hurry, joining the family in a frantic meeting to figure out a plan to head to Green Valley and look for him. They needed to find him—alive or, heaven forbid, otherwise. With no official confirmation, they clung to hope, refusing to believe the worst.

Salma returned from her shift at the hotel, turning pale when she heard about Herman. If he really was gone, what would become of Anastasia? How would the family manage, with elderly parents and young kids to care for?

As everyone was deep in discussion, Salma suddenly realized Anastasia was nowhere to be found. "Where's Ana? Has anyone seen her?" she asked urgently.

Only then did they notice her absence. Salma immediately called Anastasia, who was already on her way to Green Valley with Christen. She had spontaneously bought a plane ticket to Springfield, determined to find Herman.

When Katelyn found out, she insisted on going too. "Flynn, get us tickets! I need to find Herman," she urged.

Feiman volunteered to go as well, but Katelyn shot him down. "You're not well; what if something happens to you? Who's going to deal with that?"

At this point, Feiman confessed, "I'm not sick, Katelyn. I lied to get you to move back to Salstrom Manor."

"Feiman, you deceitful man!" Katelyn fumed. "You dare lie about something like that? I'm going to find our son, and we'll deal with this when I return."
