The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 

Feiman quickly made an excuse, “Katelyn, I just remembered I have a basketball game with Old Joe. I’ll go ahead. Please drop off mom.” 

It was such a lame excuse, which was clearly made up on the spot. Regardless of whether Katelyn believed him or not, Feiman didn’t stick around to find out. He dropped the words and dashed off. Feiman was terrified that if Joseph and Herman crossed paths, it would be disastrous. 

“Feiman, Feiman…” Katelyn called out a few times, but failed to halt Feiman’s hurried steps. She stood at the hospital room door, muttering, “A basketball game? Is it that urgent? He said he was free today when we came.” 

Trusting her feminine intuition, Katelyn felt something was off about Feiman. 

Before Grannie Anita had a chance to flex her muscles and have Feiman join her in confronting Anastasia, Feiman ran off, leaving Grannie Anita stunned. 

Grannie Anita redirected her annoyance at Katelyn. “Katelyn, look at the daughter-in-law you’ve chosen…” 

“Mom, something came up. I need to go. You can take a cab or have our family driver take you home.” 

Katelyn wanted to follow Feiman and see what he was up to. She had a quick word with Grannie Anita and a farewell to Anastasia, saying, “Take care of yourself and Pattie. I’ll visit you another day.” She too, was off. 

Grannie Anita was left dumbfounded. Neither son nor daughter-in-law could be relied 

upon. 

Anastasia was also taken aback. She only mentioned that Herman had gone to Eagle Corporation. Why were her in-laws so eager to leave? 

Anastasia and Salma exchanged puzzled looks, both unsure of what had happened. 

With her “troops” gone, Grannie Anita was left alone and powerless. Anastasia called the Salstrom family driver to pick up Grannie Anita, swiftly cutting the Gordian knot. 

Grannie Anita left with a face full of anger. Her gaze pierced Anastasia as though she wanted to bore a hole through her. 

After leaving the hospital, Grannie Anita immediately arranged to meet Julie at a coffee shop. It seemed only Julie was on her side, the only one she could vent to, 

Upon meeting, Grannie Anita started ranting, “Julie, that woman is trying to kill me with her antics. Herman’s fallen for that vixen’s charms, completely smitten, and he’s even helping her raise the illegitimate child…”

Grannie Anita was full of energy, criticizing Anastasia to no end. 

Julie, playing the peacemaker, comforted her, “Grannie, don’t be upset. That woman is cunning, so we have to bide our time. She’s flaunting her pregnancy now. Let her be arrogant for a while. Herman will come to his senses.” 

Grannie Anita fretted. “By the time Herman wakes up, it will be too late.” 

“What can we do? Herman doesn’t listen to anyone now, not even you, Grannie, Julie 

sighed. 

These words were deliberately spoken to feed Grannie Anita’s suspicions, implying that Anastasia was the reason Herman wasn’t listening to Grannie Anita. This only served to make Grannie Anita despise Anastasia more. 

Grannie Anita gripped her walking stick tightly, with a sharp look in her clouded eyes. 

Grannie Anita was a fierce woman in her youth, having battled in the business world alongside her husband. It was only after Herman gained full control that she gradually
