The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 538

After a medical scare, Julie was admitted to the hospital to protect her unborn baby.

“The situation is clear,” the doctor said. “Julie needs to stay in the hospital to ensure her pregnancy continues safely.”

The law can be harsh, but it’s also compassionate. An unborn child is innocent and deserves a chance at life.

Detective Jason was in charge of Julie’s case. He arrived at the hospital with his team, standing by the window of the ward to glance at Julie, who was handcuffed to the bed. Julie’s pregnancy was advanced, and her condition was most obvious when she lay on her side.

“Keep an eye on her, both of you, around the clock. Don’t let her out of your sight. We’ll switch shifts tomorrow,” Jason instructed. “If anything happens to her on your watch, you can kiss your badges goodbye.”

“Don’t worry, Jason, we won’t even blink. We’ve got this covered.”

“Good. I’m heading out; it’s been a long day.” With that, Jason left with his usual flair.

Monica was still waiting in the car outside. She wanted to see what kind of trouble Julie might stir up, but Jason had advised against her visiting. So, Monica stayed in the car, calling Anastasia to update her on the situation.

Anastasia had also heard about Julie’s hospitalization. The police had notified Herman. Both agreed to follow protocol. Having lost a child themselves, they wouldn’t stand by and let anything happen to Julie’s unborn baby.

Justice is justice, Anastasia thought. She wasn’t a saint, but she wouldn’t stoop to Julie’s level of ruthlessness. Anastasia had a daughter and wanted to set a good example, believing in karma. Harboring ill will was wrong, but one could never be too careful.

Monica voiced her concerns over the phone, “Julie’s crafty, using her child as a bargaining chip. She won’t take this lying down; I’m worried she might pull something.”

Anastasia shared the concern but knew worrying was pointless.
