The Bound Between Us

Chapter 1045

Anastasia had always thought Rowan's parents were dead. She never imagined the truth would turn out like this.

His real parents had abandoned him. And to Rowan, that was no different from being dead.

Anastasia frowned. "I always thought... his mother had actually passed away."

"She did,” Hanna said with a bitter smile. "No news for decades-how is that any different?"

"But just now..." Anastasia hesitated. She wanted to point out that Hanna had asked how Rowan's mother died, which now seemed pointless.

"You don't know anything about him. I really feel bad for him," Hanna said, glancing at Anastasia. "You never really tried to understand him. For people like us, living in the dark, even a little warmth, a little light, is enough for us to cling to someone like they're our whole world. You're his light. He's my whole world."

Anastasia fell silent.

What she had with Rowan, if you could even call it that, was really just Rowan's feelings. She couldn't deny that he'd helped her out more than once-she was grateful—but what she could give him only went so far. She couldn't give him anything more.

Hanna gave one last look at the police station before turning to leave. As long as Rowan stayed in this city, she'd never leave either.
