The Bound Between Us

Chapter 420

For the past several months, Grannie Anita had been trying to persuade Anastasia to visit her home. She had been asking Flynn about Anastasia’s condition, hoping that Flynn would deliver the message to Anastasia and Herman that she was slowly accepting her future great-grandchild.

Last night, with Herman around, Grannie Anita couldn’t find the opportunity to act, but now she finally had the chance. She wasn’t about to let it slip away.

Grannie Anita wasn’t afraid of her plan being exposed. Her first move was to eliminate the unborn child. She believed that her grandson would understand her intentions once her ploy was revealed.

Grannie Anita didn’t want to expose Anastasia right now, not only because she was afraid of alerting Anastasia and Herman, but also because she feared they wouldn’t believe her, rendering her efforts useless.

Grannie Anita slipped an abortion-inducing pill into a glass of water, followed by sugar. This was a potent drug she had procured from abroad. She knew that once Anastasia consumed it, it wouldn’t take long for the unborn child to be expelled.

Once all was prepared, Grannie Anita carried the glass to the dining room, where Anastasia was having her meal. Katelyn was showing Anastasia some new baby clothes she had bought, and the two were chatting and laughing among themselves.
