The Bound Between Us

Chapter 926

Rowan had been taken away by Asher. He was still recovering, and Hanna was beside herself with worry.

After pacing the floor and weighing her options, Hanna realized she had no choice but to turn to Anastasia for help.

Anastasia owed Rowan a huge favor. When Hanna broke the news, Anastasia's heart clenched tight. "What happened? Just breathe and tell me everything, okay?"

"It was just now-Asher came and took him. I think it's about the chip..."

At the mention of the chip, Anastasia shot a glance at Herman.

Herman spoke up. "I gave the chip back to him. I never looked at what was on it, but it must have something to do with Asher. The way Asher bounced back so fast these past few years-he had to have taken a few shortcuts."

"Is Rowan really turning in his own family?" Anastasia's voice shook.

Whatever the reason, she knew she had to repay her debt to Rowan.

Neither of them touched their bowls of wonton soup. As soon as the call ended, Herman pulled out his phone and called Dailey, ordering him to track down Rowan's whereabouts.
