Herman was firm when he spoke. He didn''t want a repeat of the past incident. Once was enough to leave everyone feeling uneasy. Katelyn, having been scolded by her son, felt a sting in her heart and it showed on her face.


    Back at home with her adorable grandkids, she quickly forgot Herman''s reprimand. But when she found out the nanny hadn''t sterilized the baby bottles, she didn''t hesitate to let her go.


    Feiman shook his head and said, "Katelyn, don''t you think you''re being a bit too cautious? Back in the day, Herman and Flynn weren''t raised with such meticulous care." Katelyn replied confidently, "When ites to what the kids eat, you can''t be too careful. You wouldn''t understand."


    Feiman nced at the babies sleeping in their cribs and chuckled, "Katelyn, seeing you like this reminds me of when you first had kids. You were just as anxious then."


    His gentlement struck home, and Katelyn''s face fell. She recalled how much she used to dislike Granny Anita''s overprotectiveness, feeling sidelined in her own children''s upbringing. The tension between her and her mother-inw over the kids had been palpable. Katelyn had vowed never to be like Granny Anita, but with her grandkids, she couldn''t help but be overly protective, wanting to handle everything herself, trusting no one else.


    Without realizing it, she had be the person she once couldn''t stand.


    Noticing Katelyn''s troubled expression, Feiman understood she had realized what was happening. "Ana hasn''t been discharged yet. There''s still time to make some changes."


    At the hospital, the kids had been sent home, and Salma and Pattie had left. Anastasia looked at Herman, "You saw what happened. What''s your n?"


    "I''ve already talked to my mom. Her worrying about the kids isn''t a huge problem," Herman replied, trying to smooth things over.


    It wasn''t a significant issue, just a bit unsettling, so Anastasia decided not to push it further.


    Anastasia was set to stay at the maternity center for another week before heading home. During that time, she continued learning aboutpany management from Herman. When Katelyn brought the babies over again, they ran into Monica.


    While changing a diaper, Monica noticed the absence of a baby amulet she had gifted. "Oh, where''s Emmie''s amulet? I gave it to her; it used to hang around her neck."


    Katelyn and Herman were outside calming a crying Nan-Nan, who preferred being outdoors.


    Anastasia asked, "When did you give it? I''ve never seen it."


    "Before the baby was brought back to Salstrom Manor," Monica realized and added, "Your mother-inw must have taken it off. She wasn''t happy when I gave it and evenined."


    Saying it was taken off was an understatement; they all knew it was likely discarded.


    Anastasia felt a surge of irritation. Her mother''s gift, even if Katelyn didn''t like it, shouldn''t have been disposed of.


    Later, when Herman returned with Nan-Nan and Katelyn seemed in a better mood, Anastasia asked, "Mom, where''s Emmie''s amulet? I haven''t seen it. Didn''t my mom give one to the baby?" Anastasia chose her words carefully, avoiding direct confrontation.


    Caught off guard, Katelyn awkwardly replied, "It''s at home. It was inconvenient during baths, so I took it off and put it away. Ana, the amulet''s string could easily strangle or cut the baby''s skin. We''ll have her wear it when she''s older."
