The Bound Between Us

Chapter 192

Anastasia woke up. Her delicate hand gently stroked his face, wiping away the tears at the corners of his eyes.

Herman embraced Anastasia excitedly, burying his head in her bosom, his voice hoarse. “Honey.”

As Anastasia caressed his hair, her eyes too became moist. Memories of the car accident flooded her mind, and she thought she was going to die. In those few seconds when the car flipped, she dreaded the thought of death. If it weren’t for Herman rushing to the scene that night, she might have missed the critical time for rescue and might have died in the accident.

“Anastasia, thank you for waking up.” Herman held Anastasia tightly. He couldn’t imagine what life without Anastasia would be like. The accident made him realize that Anastasia meant more to him than he had thought. “If the grim reaper dares to take you away, I’ll storm hell itself to bring you back. Without my consent, no one can take you away.”

While Anastasia was hanging by a thread in the ER, Herman indeed had this impulse. Even if it meant risking everything, he had to save Anastasia. Having survived the ordeal, the memory of the accident still gave Anastasia the chills.

Tears of joy streamed down Anastasia’s face. She held Herman’s face in her hands, her lips trembling, “When the accident happened, I was scared to death. I prayed to God, asking for another chance. I want to grow old with you and have lots and lots of children.”

Herman’s voice was hoarse. “…Okay.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He couldn’t bear to tell her that they might never have children. He wasn’t planning on telling her. He didn’t want to see Anastasia in despair and sadness. Ignorance was bliss..

It wasn’t until the next morning that Herman informed Salma and Katelyn of Anastasia’s recovery. They rushed to the hospital, overcome with emotion. Salma hugged Anastasia and sobbed.

“Ana, you finally woke up. You were in a coma for a month. I’ve been praying every day, hoping for you to wake up soon.” Salma clasped her hands together. “Thank God, for letting you wake up.”

Katelyn also joyfully clasped her hands together and bowed to the air. “Ana woke up, this is great news. Ana, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Anastasia gently touched her waist and said, “Just my waist.” The waist was where Anastasia was most severely injured. Herman remembered Dr. Schuler’s words and looked at Anastasia’s waist with a regretful expression.

Katelyn said with a smile, “You got seriously injured, just take good care of yourself. You’re young and will recover soon.”

Salma also said, “Ana, during the month you were in a coma, Herman stayed by your side every day, taking care of you. Herman has been the hardest working one. You’re really lucky to have him as your husband.”

Anastasia looked at Herman and smiled without saying a word. She felt that she was lucky in life, partly because she met Herman, and partly because she survived this accident. Having Herman in her life, she felt regretless.

When news of Anastasia’s recovery spread, Monica, Lauren, and Christine all came to the hospital to visit. Everyone was overjoyed. They all thought Anastasia wouldn’t make it through this time, but unexpectedly, a miracle happened. She woke up.

But where there was joy, there was also sorrow. The news of Anastasia’s recovery wasn’t good news for Julie. A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. What a lucky girl, she didn’t die even after being in a coma for a month. The doctors had declared that she had little chance of waking up, but she still did.

It seemed she would have to resort to her second plan.

After Anastasia woke up, the police came to take her statement. Anastasia then learned that her car had indeed been tampered with; the brake line had been intentionally damaged. And the suspect was Selena.

Anastasia described the situation when the car accident occurred and also mentioned seeing a familiar figure in the parking lot.

She said, “But I’m not sure if the person I saw in the parking lot was Selena. What did Selena say?”

Herman said, “Selena admits to being in the parking lot, but denies tampering with the brakes.”

The police also said, “We’ve questioned Selena several times, but she still insists that she didn’t tamper with the brakes. So we came to if you could think carefully if there were any suspicious people? When you were going uphill, what did it feel like when you stepped on the brake? What was the car’s reaction?”
