The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 770

Sean felt a chill run down his spine, not just from the situation, but from Sandy's icy demeanor. Was this really his sweet, kind-hearted sister? The Sandy he remembered would hesitate before even stepping on an ant. Now, with Nicholas having lost his left leg, she seemed detached, almost heartless.

Sean stared at her, searching for the sister he thought he knew. Sensing his unease, Sandy asked, "Hey, what's up with you, Sean?"

Sean hesitated, then said, "Sis, Nicholas lost a leg trying to save Herman. He lost a leg."

"Yeah, so?" Sandy replied with a frown. "Why are you making such a big deal out of it? It's just a leg. And it's not like I told him to crash the car."

Sean was stunned by her cold indifference. He recalled how she had once manipulated him, using their family ties to get him to donate bone marrow. Did Sandy see everyone as just a resource?

Was he, her brother, just another Nicholas to her?

Suddenly, he asked, "Sandy, if one day you needed to sacrifice my life for some purpose of yours, would you do it? Would you sacrifice me without hesitation?"

Sean would willingly make sacrifices for Sandy, but this was different; her indifference was chilling.

Sandy's expression softened, and she wrapped her arm around Sean's. "Oh, come on, Sean. You're overthinking it. You're my brother, the closest person to me. I would never do anything to harm you."

Sean forced a smile, but inside, he felt cold. He couldn't see the Sandy he once knew.

"Mom wants us over for dinner tonight. Can you make it?" Sean asked, his tone carrying a hint of vulnerability, as if seeking Sandy's approval.

Sandy replied, "I can't. I need to stay with Herman. With Nicholas injured, it’s my time to shine. I can't chat any longer; if I'm gone too long, Herman might get suspicious."

"You can't deceive him forever," Sean wanted to say, but held back.

Sandy cut him off, "I, Sandy, never leave things half-done."
