The Bond Between Us ( Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 1177

No matter how many times Anastasia tried to explain things in the past, Juliana never believed her. Now, though, Juliana seemed uncharacteristically clear-headed as she sat down to reconsider the whole situation.

Anastasia didn’t bring up any names or suspicions. She just said, “I have no reason to hurt your child. I’m a mother too—I know what it’s like to lose a baby. I could never, and would never, do that to you. There’s nothing in it for me. But you said the stairs felt off, and the nanny admitted there was peanut oil on them. When you get home, maybe you should look into that more closely.”

“So you think my miscarriage wasn’t an accident, right?” Juliana still managed to miss the point.

Anastasia sighed. “I never said it wasn’t an accident, or that it was. That’s all coming from you. Just think: who wouldn’t want you to have this baby? Whoever stands to gain the most, that’s who you should suspect.”

She didn’t want to spell things out too clearly—one wrong word and the whole thing could blow back on her.

Juliana replayed their conversation in her head, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. “I think I know who it is.”

“Are you sure?” Anastasia asked, testing the waters.

Juliana jumped to her feet. “I need to go. I think I know who did it. Anastasia, please, don’t forget what I asked you.”

“I’ll do my best,” Anastasia said, but she didn’t promise anything.

She actually hoped Juliana had truly figured out who was behind her miscarriage.

Juliana came in a whirlwind and left just as fast.

But in the end, Anastasia had given Juliana too much credit.

Juliana didn’t suspect Layna at all. Instead, she decided it had to be Mrs. Goad.

Mrs. Goad had always been cold and sharp-tongued with her, and then suddenly turned all warm and motherly after she got pregnant—way too suspicious, way too fake.
