The Bound Between Us

Chapter 410

Katelyn shot her eldest son an incredulous look. “That’s not the same, Herman. What happened with Ana was before you two got married, and now she’s carrying your child. She’s having a tough time and needs to maintain a positive mood. She can’t handle any shocks. I remember when I was pregnant with you, I nearly had a miscarriage because of your grandmother’s harsh words.”

Mentioning the past still left a bitter taste in Katelyn’s heart.

“Your grandmother was never happy with me.” Katelyn continued, “She kept pushing your father to divorce me and find another woman. She made me so angry that I nearly had a miscarriage. I had to stay in the hospital for a week to protect the baby. That’s how we got you, Herman. Pregnant women can’t be stressed.”

“Mom, you’ve been through a lot,” Herman said, observing his mother. He hadn’t looked at her closely in a while, and he noticed the fine lines around her eyes. She was no longer youthful.

He never knew how hard and dangerous it was for a woman to bear a child until Anastasia got pregnant. When the doctor said that there was a high chance neither Anastasia nor the baby would survive, he realized it. Despite medical advances, childbirth still carried the risk of death.

Her son’s sudden sentimentality had Katelyn’s eyes welling up. Katelyn smiled and patted/ her son. “That’s good to know. Things are different now. You’re married, and you’ve chosen the right wife.”

She remembered how cold and reserved Herman used to be. He didn’t talk too much, and it was very hard to communicate with him. But now, things were different. Katelyn had noticed the changes in Herman over the past few months.
