The Bound Between Us

Chapter 437

The mention of abortion pills made Katie's face go as white as a ghost; she couldn't even think about taking them.

"Ma'am... Mrs. Salstrom," Katie stuttered, "Are you sure about this? An abortion pill for Miss Anastasia? She's pregnant, this... this can't be right."

Katie's words were all over the place. She couldn't wrap her head around why Grannie Anita would want to get rid of a potential Salstrom heir. That was her great-grandchild, after all.

Katie, you've been with us for years, have I ever treated you unfairly? Now I'm asking you to do this for me, to get rid of the child Anastasia's carrying. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

Grannie Anita had sneaked back from the countryside just to get rid of the child in Anastasia's womb.
