    Chapter 187


    Lauren’s straight talk hit Julie’s ego hard.

    She retorted, “I just heard Anastasia had a car ident and was hospitalized, so I came to see her.


    What’s it to you?”


    “If you’re nning on using this as a chance to pursue Anastasia’s husband, then it does involve me,”


    Lauren cautioned. “Finding a good man is no walk in the park, but we women should know better than


    to chase after single men, let alone married ones, got it?”


    “I don’t need you to teach me,” Julie snapped


    She brushed past Lauren, heading for the hospital room.


    Anastasia was still unconscious, with Herman tenderly wiping her hands and neck with warm water,


    taking care of her meticulously Collin wanted to say something, but seeing Herman’s silent devotion, he


    quietly left.


    Julie could only watch through the window in the door. Seeing Herman taking care of Anastasia so


    intimately, she was both envious and bitter. She even wished the ident would’ve just taken


    Anastasia away


    Suppressing her jealousy, Julie asked Flynn with feigned concern, “Ms. Jewell isn’t going to be in a


    coma forever, right? She wouldn’t turn into a vegetable, would she?”


    “The doctors haven’t said when she’ll wake up. We can only pray now” Flynn was also worried whether


    Anastasia would turn into a vegetable. Herman would be a walking corpse if that happened.


    Staring at Anastasia on the hospital bed, Julie felt a surge of satisfaction. If Anastasia didn’t wake up,


    she didn’t believe Herman could stay by her side forever. With her ego boosted by this thought, she


    hoped Anastasia would never wake up.


    Herman wanted some quiet, and Collin and the others didn’t stay for long.


    Anastasiay peacefully in bed, and Herman often talked to her, believing she could hear him.


    Night fell.


    Katelyn brought chicken soup to the hospital. Seeing Herman conversing with Anastasia again, she felt


    a pang in her heart. Her eyes welling up with tears, sheposed herself before saying, “Son, eat


    something. Look at you, you’re a mess. If Anastasia wakes up, she won’t recognize you.”


    Herman, who always cared about his appearance, would never let himself look scruffy, let alone let his


    beard grow out, or his hair turn into a bird’s nest from not washing for a week. He hadn’t bathed for


    several days and was starting to smell.


    The bloodshot eyes of Herman were rather intimidating. He looked up at Katelyn. “Mom, do you think


    Anastasia will wake up?”


    “She will,” Katelyn answered firmly. “I believe she will wake up. Now, chin up, you haven’t had a good


    rest for a while now. Let me stay with Anastasia tonight. You go home, take a bath, change clothes,


    and get a decent sleep, okay? I know you’re worried sick about Anastasia, but I’m just as worried about


    you”


    Herman replied absently, “She wouldn’t like the way I look now. I’ll go home and change.” He didn’t


    want Anastasia to see him like this.


    With tears in her eyes, Katelyn said, “Yes, go home and take a bath. Here, drink the chicken soup first.”


    This time Hermanplied. He finished the soup, said goodbye to unconscious Anastasia and headed


    back to Harmony Meadows


    Flynn drove him home. Along the way, Flynn did all the talking, while Herman remained silent. Herman


    was really tired; he hadn’t had a good sleep in days. He dozed off at some point during the ride. Flynn


    let him sleep, parking the car under Harmony Meadows


    Herman had a long sleep this time, waking up when dawn was breaking. If not for worrying about


    Anastasia, he might have slept longer. He was truly exhausted


    Flynn suggested, “Bro, why don’t you go upstairs and sleep a bit more?”


    *I’ll go up and take a shower, then we’ll head to the hospital. Anastasia would be upset if she woke up


    and didn’t see me.”


    Herman got out of the car and went upstairs. He showered, watered the nts on the balcony, which


    Anastasia liked. He hadn’t taken care of them for days and they were nearly wilted


    He had to keep them alive. Anastasia would be happy to see them when she came home. After


    finishing these chores, it was already morning.


    As Herman was going downstairs, he noticed a small figure curled up in the stairway. He approached


    and saw it was Pattie
