The Bound Between Us

Chapter 292

Herman had a hunch that Anastasia was in trouble. He couldn’t reach her and had a bad feeling in his gut. He immediately told his driver to head back to Harmony Meadows and made a call to Dailey, “Track down Anastasia. I need to know where she is now.”

Flynn, sitting in the back seat, was stunned. Herman had even reached out to Dailey. He wanted to say things weren’t that urgent, but seeing Herman’s grim face, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

Dailey’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Give me ten minutes.” In ten minutes, he would find Anastasia.

As he was on the phone, Herman had reached the entrance of Harmony Meadows.
