The Bond Between Us ( Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 660

Julie let out a sudden laugh and looked up at Jason, "Bite the bullet? Let's just save it, no need for the trouble."

Jason raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"

"I've got cervical cancer, advanced stage. Not much time left," Julie said, "no point in wasting a bullet now."

"So that's how it is," Jason nodded. "You've been holding on for so long, and now you're going after Anastasia because of your diagnosis."

He had been wondering why Julie suddenly seemed so impatient when he came to question her.

Julie had stopped resisting now, just regretting that she had so many chances but never succeeded.

After questioning Julie, Jason left the interrogation room.

A colleague came over, joking, "Jason, looks like your angel has arrived."

Thinking it was Monica, Jason handed off the remaining tasks to his colleague and headed outside.

But instead of Monica, he found Alisa holding a thermos.

Over the past few months, Alisa had been dropping off all sorts of things—scarves and sweaters when it was cold, new clothes when it was hot.

The station was buzzing with gossip.

People were talking about Jason and Alisa, given that Alisa was the widow of a hero, and many in the station were rooting for them.

Jason, caught up with his cases and unaware of the station's gossip, was hearing the nickname "angel" for Alisa for the first time.

"Jason."

Alisa approached with a smile, "Got a moment? I made you some pigeon soup, thought you could use something to nourish yourself."

"Anastasia, I've told you, you don't have to go to all this trouble. And please, no more deliveries, it doesn't look good with the colleagues," Jason said. "If you need anything, just call me."

"Jason, it's clear Anastasia has a thing for you, anyone can see it," Hank said while enjoying the soup. "After Will died saving you, you looking after her and her kid, we all thought it was only a matter of time before you two ended up together."

"She'll always be Anastasia to me. Will died saving me; looking after her and her daughter is my duty," Jason explained. "I have a girlfriend."

"Who?" Hank couldn't resist asking.

Thinking of Monica, Jason's expression softened, "You know her."

After a moment, Hank realized, "Monica? Jason, you landed Monica? She's a catch, man. You two together, that’s like a match made in heaven."

Monica wasn't just any catch; in an ordinary crowd, she stood out significantly.

With an annual income in the millions, many men dreamt of marrying someone like her.

Monica was financially more successful than Jason, but with his promising career ahead, having just been promoted, he had a bright future.
