The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 451

Herman was so furious he could barely breathe, his emotions a tangled mess of anger, hatred, and pain, like a heavy weight pressing on his chest.

Dailey quickly helped Herman sit down, grabbed some tissues, and fetched water for him to rinse his mouth.

But Herman waved him off, wiping the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand. His eyes blazed with a cold, vengeful light.

Katie threw herself to the ground, begging, "Please, sir, I had no choice! It was the old lady, she forced me. The loan sharks were threatening my daughter..."

Each word from Katie only fueled Herman's rage.

His voice was icy as he commanded, "Dailey, take care of her."

Dailey understood immediately. This was a private matter, not something for the police.

A blood debt could never be forgotten.

Dailey yanked Katie to her feet, but Herman's eyes, red with fury, hardened further. "Let her feel what it's like to lose a child. If she's so worried about her daughter, let's send them off together."

Dailey was shocked. Herman was ruthless, but he had always followed a code: the innocent shouldn't suffer.

Dailey's hesitation earned him a sharp rebuke from Herman. "Didn't you hear me?"

Dailey snapped out of it, "Yes, boss."

Katie, realizing her daughter was in danger, panicked. "Sir, you can kill me, I'll accept it. Just please, spare my daughter, she knows nothing."

Herman's fury reached its peak. He kicked Katie, sending her flying across the living room. She hit the floor hard, coughing up blood.

This was the first time Herman had been so brutal with a woman, but he hadn't killed Katie yet. His restraint was hanging by a thread.

Herman strode to the front door, towering over Katie sprawled on the floor. His voice was like ice. "My son was only five months in the womb. How could you be so heartless? Was he not innocent? Did he deserve to die? Everyone who hurt my son will pay."

Flynn arrived at Southridge Estates just in time to see Katie spitting blood and Herman holding a gun. He was stunned.

Flynn, sensing the gravity of the situation, quickly called Feiman, "Dad, there's trouble. Get to Salstrom Manor now. Herman's going to confront Granny, and he's got a gun. Granny ordered Katie to poison Anastasia..."

Feiman, still at the hospital, was stunned by the news.

Katelyn, having just finished the paperwork to take their baby's body home, walked over to Feiman. Seeing his pale face, she asked, "Who was that? What's happened?"

Feiman took a moment to gather himself, then said anxiously, "We need to get to Salstrom Manor now, or there's going to be a disaster. Anastasia miscarried because she was poisoned. It was Granny who ordered Katie to do it. Herman's on his way there now with a gun."

"What?" Katelyn was shocked beyond words.

The baby the whole family had been eagerly anticipating was killed by Granny Anita.

Katelyn was furious, "Feiman, is your mother insane? That was Herman's baby, his son! How could she poison Anastasia? Is she even human? This is horrifying."

Feiman said urgently, "I don't know why mom would do such a thing. We need to get back now, before something really bad happens. Knowing Herman's temper, he might kill someone."
