The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 

Nelson found a waitress who was a mom and worked at a restaurant because she was experienced in taking care of kids. 

The waitress took Pattie to the bathroom for a bath while Herman waited in the room. Pattle was a bit scared of the unfamiliar surroundings, but the warm water made her body comfortable. She liked the bubbles in the tub. They smelled so good. 

The waitress gently helped Pattie bathe, and seeing the scars on Pattie’s body, she, as a mother, felt her eyes well up with tears. This child was too pitiful, covered in scars all over But she didn’t pry further. 

Pattie sat in the bathtub, poking at the foam with her hand, her nose also covered in foam. She took a sniff. “It smells so good.” It was the first time she knew that taking a bath could be so comfortable, and the water could smell so good. 

The waitress laughed and said, “That’s the scent of

Pattie didn’t react, allowing the waitress to could be so soft and smell so good. 

her. 

the bath, the waitress dried her with a soft towel. Only then did Pattie realize that towels 

The waitress dried Pattie’s hair and put her in a beautiful new pink dress. Pattie had never worn such a beautiful dress, and when the waitress led her out, she was a bit dazed. 

“Mr. Salstrom, the little girl is bathed, the waitress said. 

Herman looked up and saw Pattie’s hair spread over her shoulders, her bright eyes and delicate features made her look like a doll. Seeing Pattie in the new dress, Herman felt an inexplicable familiarity 

“Okay, you can go now” Herman waved the waitress away. 

After the waitress left, estured to Pattie. “Come here” 

Kids were sensitive, they could feel who was good to them or not. Pattie could feel that the gentleman in front of her was a good person, so she walked over, clutching the corner of Herman’s clothes. “Herman.” 

Herman looked at Pattie and gently asked, “Are you tired?” 

Pattie shook her head. 

Herman was about to speak when Collin rushed in. “Herman, why didn’t you tell me you were here? I heard you brought a little girl… 

Collin stopped mid-sentence when he saw Pattie, his eyes darting back and forth between Herman and Pattie. 

“Herman, who is this girl? Is she your illegitimate daughter? What if your wife finds out?” 

At first glance, they did look somewhat alike 

Herman frowned. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. I have no relation with this girl. I found her on the roadside.” 

“You picked up a girl from the road? When did you become so charitable?” Collin walked over to Pattie, crouched down and took a closer look. Actually. they didn’t look that similar. It seemed he was mistaken 

Ignoring Collin’s question, Herman said to Nelson, “Get the car ready, I’m taking Pattie to the hospital for a check-up. The child seemed malnourished and needed a check-up for peace of mind. 

Before, Herman didn’t have much fondness for children. They were too troublesome and fragile. But maybe because he got married or because of Pattie’s situation, he began to pay more attention to her. 

“Yes,” answered Nelson. 

Nelson went to get the car and Herman left with Pattie, Collin watched their backs and muttered, “If I didn’t know better, I’d think Pattie was his daughter’ 

Collin had only come because he heard Herman was here.
