Monica couldn’t keep up with Anastasia. Seeing Herman approaching from behind, she was puzzled until he asked her, “Which way did Anastasia go?”
Monica pointed to the left and asked, “What happened?”
Earlier, Monica had stepped away to call Trevor. When she returned, she saw Anastasia storming out with a troubled expression. Monica had called out to her, but couldn’t catch up.
Herman didn’t have time to answer Monica’s question. He quickly continued his pursuit of Anastasia.
At this moment, Anastasia’s mind was in turmoil, echoing with the words Grannie Anita had told her. The truth was, she was the one who was incapable of having children, not Herman. Herman had lied to her, just so that she could be accepted by Katelyn and Feiman.
‘Anastasia stormed out of the hotel and onto the bustling streets. She was unable to accept this reality. She didn’t doubt Herman’s love for her, but that made it even more difficult for her to face him and the Salstrom family.
Grannie Anita’s words, although harsh, were realistic. She was just a simple street vendor. What did she have to offer to catch the attention of someone like Herman? She didn’t even have a college degree, and she couldn’t bear children. How could she deserve
Herman’s love?
Overwhelmed by self-doubt and feelings of inferiority, Anastasia was scared. Now that the Salstrom family knew about her inability to have children, was her marriage with Herman at its end? In her daze, Anastasia didn’t notice the red light. A van was speeding toward her, but she was too shocked to react.
Just as the van was about to hit her, Anastasia felt a strong force pull her away. Startled, she heard his anxious voice, “Anastasia, are you okay?”
She lifted her head from his chest, still in shock.
The yán driver was also shaken. He yelled out the window at Anastasia, “If you want to die, go somewhere else. Don’t drag me down!” Herman shot him a fierce look, causing the driver to quickly retreat and speed off. Herman led her to a quieter area and checked her for injuries. Once he was sure she was unharmed, he finally relaxed. He pulled her into his arms, “You can’t let this happen again.”
His voice was filled with fear. If he hadn’t arrived in time, he couldn’t bear to imagine the consequences.
“I’m sorry.” Anastasia mumbled. As soon as she spoke, her voice was hoarse and tearful. She couldn’t control her emotions. His warm embrace and his warning filled with concern and fear broke her last defenses.
Her apology carried more meaning than just causing trouble for others. She was sorry for not being able to bear Herman’s children.
“I won’t let you say those words. It’s not your fault.” Herman said in a low voice. He held her face and gently kissed away her tears, “Let’s go home.”
He scooped her up in his arms, not giving her time to dwell on her sadness. Wrapped in his warmth, Anastasia’s chaotic emotions
started to calm down.
After putting her in the car, he called Salma and Flynn. He asked Salma to take care of Pattie and then let Flynn to drive them home. Tonight, he would be taking Anastasia to their new home. They wouldn’t
be going back to Salstrom Manor or Harmony Meadows. After making these arrangements, he started the car and drove off with Anastasia. Just as they were leaving, Joseph emerged from the shadows. He watched as the car disappeared into the distance and mumbled to himself, “She really is his precious gem.”
