The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 775

Sandy was pacing back and forth, her mind racing after the phone call she just received. She couldn't focus on Tavon at the hospital anymore. Her thoughts were consumed by what had happened at the Morton family residence. It was clear now—Herman was suspicious. She had been reckless.

How could she ever outsmart Herman?

Sean emerged from the hospital room, noticing Sandy's frantic demeanor. "Sis, what's going on?" he asked, concern etched on his face.

"Herman’s gone. He’s at the airport heading to Riverdale," Sandy replied urgently. "I need to stop him before he leaves. Can you keep an eye on things here at the hospital?"

Sean gently grasped her arm. "Let him go, Sandy. You've been on edge, jumping at shadows. Have you had a good night's sleep in months? Do you truly care for Herman, or is it just his talents you’re after? Or maybe it's about some rivalry with Anastasia?"

Sandy paused, Sean’s words sinking in. It was true—she hadn’t slept well in months. She lived in constant fear that Herman would regain his memories and remember everything.

There was a time when Herman was just a means to an end for her, but now, faced with the prospect of losing him, she understood why she wanted him to stay.

Sandy pulled away from Sean, determination in her eyes. "I love him, Sean. I really do. I want him to stay as my George, not Herman. Please, help me. Bring him back."

It was the first time Sandy had ever asked Sean for anything. She was usually so proud, never pleading for what she wanted.

Sean was taken aback. He had always thought of Sandy as cold-hearted, but now he saw a glimpse of her true emotions, a warmth he hadn’t noticed before. She was human after all.

After a moment’s hesitation, he nodded. "Alright, I’ll go to Riverdale and bring him back. You should stay here; your presence might only trigger Herman’s suspicions."

Sandy clutched his arm, her eyes pleading. "Please, bring him back."

"Got it," Sean replied, leaving the hospital.

It was late—nearly nine-thirty at night. The night sky over Willowbrook was stunning, and as a plane ascended from Willowbrook Airport, the entire city’s beauty unfolded beneath it.

The flight to Riverdale would take about two and a half hours, meaning Herman would arrive around midnight.
