The Bound Between Us

Chapter 803

Super 8 Motel.

No matter how crazy things got outside, it was like this place existed in its own bubble.

Right now, Sandy and Herman were completely shut off from the rest of the world. Whatever chaos was unfolding out there, they didn't have a clue-and honestly, Sandy just didn't care. She wasn't even thinking about how Herman might react to learning about the memories he'd lost.

Her heart thudded in her chest, a flicker of fear deep in her eyes.

Just moments earlier, Sean had come barreling out of the bathroom and, without

a word, downed the cup of tea sitting in front of Herman.

The tea was poisoned. And Sean drank it.

Sandy hadn't had time to stop him, and she couldn't even say anything about it. All she could do was stare at Sean, eyes wide with horror.

She knew exactly what would happen to him now.

Sean seemed almost calm, like he'd already accepted whatever was coming. He set the empty cup down, forced a thin smile, and said to Herman, "Guess I was really thirsty. Hey, why don't you have my cup?"

Herman didn't care about the tea. He just wanted answers about Anastasia.

His eyes locked onto Sandy, cold and sharp. "Where's my home? What's my real name?"

But Sandy wasn't paying attention. Her mind was on Sean. Her voice shook with panic as she spoke, but her words were for Herman. “Let's talk about it another time. I just remembered something urgent. Sean, come with me."
