The Bound Between Us

Chapter 797

Sandy's face went white as a sheet. Had Anastasia found out about Herman?

If Anastasia was rushing back to Riverdale, it could only mean the secret that Herman was alive had slipped out.

Sandy didn't even bother stepping into the hospital room. Instead, she hurried outside, dialing Sean's number as she moved quickly. "Sean, Anastasia's heading back to Riverdale. She's caught wind of Herman. Where is he now? How did you let this happen? Did he run into someone?"

Sandy was still clueless about what was happening over in Riverdale.

Sean was equally confused. "How could Anastasia possibly know? Herman hasn't met anyone. I've been with him the whole time. We just strolled around the Night Market. He got some snacks and bubble tea, but he didn't talk to anyone or bump into any familiar faces."

"Then what on earth is going on?" Sandy pressed. "Someone must've seen Herman. Sean, you need to hide him. Do whatever it takes. We can't let anyone find him."

Sandy was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to stop Herman. She should have kept a closer eye on him and never let him go to Riverdale in the first place.

Sean assured her, "Leave it to me, Sandy. I've got this."

After hanging up, Sandy headed to the hospital where Nicholas was staying. She needed him to call Herman, playing the fatherly card to reel him back.

Nicholas, terrified of losing his son Herman, was willing to do anything. Without Herman, what did he have left to live for? He'd already sacrificed a leg; there was no way he was letting go of Herman now.
