The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 

Pattie was there, huddled against the wall, fast asleep clutching her little backpack Even though the floor beneath her was cold, she was only wearing a thin dress and a pair of sandals. 

“Pattie.” Herman squatted down and gently shook Pattie 

Waking up to see Herman, Pattie rubbed her eyes “Herman* 

“Why are you sleeping here?” Herman took off his jacket and draped it over Pattie. 

“Herman, I had a dream. Ana was sick in it, I wanted to find her but I couldn’t. Can you take me to see Ana?” 

Herman was taken aback by her words. How did Pattie have such an odd dream? And how did she know something had happened to 

Anastasia? 

“Herman” Pattie tugged at Herman’s sleeve, her voice innocent and pleading, “Can you take me to see Ana?” 

Remembering how much Anastasia loved Pattie, he thought that maybe Pattie could help wake Anastasia up “Alright, I’ll take you” 

Herman took Pattie’s hand and walked towards the entrance of the community. Flynn had been waiting in the car Seeing the child with Herman, he asked, “Why did you bring a little girl?” 

“She’s Pattie. Your sister-in-law really likes her. Pattie wants to visit.” Herman lifted Pattie into the car 

On the way to the hospital, Herman casually asked how Pattie was doing in kindergarten. Pattie happily replied, “Kindergarten is fun. The teachers are nice and my classmates are really friendly” 

Herman had already given the heads up to the kindergarten principal to take special care of Pattie. Pattie started school a little late, so compared to the kids who started early education at two or three, she had a lot to learn and adapt to 

In order to persuade Penny and her husband to send Pattie to school, Herman had the principal tell them that as long as Pattie attended school without absence, they would receive a bonus of fifty thousand each term. For the sake of money, even if they were reluctant, Pattie had to go to school. Other kids’ parents had to pay for school, but Pattie going to school was a money-making opportunity. Clearly, Penny was more than happy about it. 

“Im glad you’re happy.” Herman patted Pattie’s head, feeling a warmth in his heart seeing her happiness, a smile creeping onto his face. Driving the car, Flynn was quite surprised to see Herman smile for the first time since Anastasia’s accident. This child was indeed captivating 

Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Herman took Pattie to Anastasia’s room, where Salma was. She had come to the hospital late last night, staying up all night with Katelyn. They were all looking tired and aged, weary from the sleepless night. 

Yawning, Katelyn heard Herman tell Flynn, “Take them home to rest.” 

Without saying much, Salma and Katelyn left to rest, knowing they needed the energy to care for Anastasia. Once they left, the room had only Herman and Pattie. 

Seeing Anastasia unconscious in the hospital bed, Pattie felt an inexplicable sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes. She went to Anastasia’s bedside, held her hand and said, “Ana, it’s me, Pattie. I had a dream that you were sick. Herman brought me here to see you. Can you get better soon? I’m having a great time in kindergarten. My teacher even praised me yesterday… 

Pattie held Anastasia’s hand, chattering away like a little chatterbox, sharing all the fun stories from school. Herman was surprised, he had never seen Pattie talk so much. 

Pattie was clear and logical in her speech. After talking for a confused and asked, “Herman, why isn’t Ana waking up?”
