The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 739

Herman made it clear he wanted to head out on his own, and Sandy picked up on his intentions right away.

"Alright, just make sure you're back for lunch," Sandy said with a warm smile. "Call me if you need anything. I know you haven't felt like yourself since you got sick, but don't worry. I'll help you rediscover our shared memories."

Every word she spoke was gentle and caring. She even took off her scarf and wrapped it around Herman's neck. "Even though spring's here, it rained last night, and it's still chilly. Don't catch a cold. Remember, you had that injury on your neck, so take care."

Herman stood still, letting Sandy wrap the scarf around him. His deep eyes watched her, and the moment felt oddly familiar, stirring a sense of déjà vu.

Before his memory loss, when Herman headed to work, Anastasia would often fix his tie in the same caring way.

But now, Herman couldn't quite recall those moments. He just felt a comforting familiarity in Sandy's gesture.

It was the first time since the incident that he felt a connection, something familiar, with Sandy, which eased his inner turmoil a bit.

"Driving? Want the car keys?" Sandy offered, holding them out. "Take the car for a spin."

"No need, I'll just walk around the neighborhood," Herman replied, his hands tucked into his coat pockets, exuding an air of elegance and restraint, with the scarf adding a gentlemanly touch.

Sandy respected his wish to go out alone.

She stood at the door, watching him leave. Once he was out of sight, Nicholas expressed his concern, "Miss Sandy, are you sure it's safe for George to be out there alone? What if he remembers something?"

Nicholas had come to regard Herman as his own son, naturally calling him George.

"Follow him, but keep your distance. If anything unusual happens, act accordingly and report back to me," Sandy instructed, her tone shifting from gentle to commanding. "If you want to keep him as your son, you know what to do."

Nicholas nodded, "I understand."

Sandy quizzed him, "And if you get caught, what do you say?"
