The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395 

Layna was here, so Pattie must be close by. Herman and his team had traced them to this location. He didn’t believe in Layna’s words. People say children don’t lie, but there are those who are born liars. 

Herman spotted the abandoned construction site and told Anastasia, “You take Layna and wait in the car. I’ll go take a look.” 

Upon hearing that Herman was going to look for Pattie, Layna feared the truth would be revealed. She closed her eyes tightly and pretended to faint. 

“Sweetie, sweetie.” Anastasia instinctively held Layna. Her heart was racing. 

Just then, Dailey rushed over. Herman coldly ordered, “Dailey, take them to the hospital.” 

Leaving them with that, Herman ran towards the unfinished building. 

Anastasia was also worried about Pattie, but with Layna fainting, she had to prioritize. She could only take Layna to the hospital first. She believed in Herman. He would bring Pattie back. 

Over at the construction site. 

Pattie laid motionless on the ground. Penny’s anger had subsided, and it was replaced by fear. “It’s not time yet. Wake up. You can’t die yet.” 

Penny wasn’t afraid of Pattie dying, but of her dying at the wrong time. There was still an hour until noon. If Pattie died now, her plan would fail. 

Penny, driven by fear and desperation, shook Pattie. Leo scolded, “This is all Why’d you have to act now? You hit her too hard. Pattie, Pattie, wake up…” 

your 

fault. 

Leo, superstitious as he was, stared at Pattie, whose face was covered in blood. He realized his mistake. This child had called him Dad for two whole years. 

Pattie had trusted him, followed him out of trust, and even came to comfort him because she was worried about her brother. 

What had he done? He was worse than an animal. 

Leo checked Pattie’s breathing. “She’s still alive. Quickly, we need to get her to the hospital.” 

Penny seemed to have gone crazy. She glared at him. “Why should we? She’s still breathing. We can wait until noon, and then do what we need to. She can’t run now. It’s easier this way.” 

As they were arguing, Herman arrived, and saw Pattie on the ground. His anger was uncontrollable, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. 

10:53 

“Pattie.” 

Herman rushed in, pushing Penny aside. Seeing Pattie’s blood-covered face, he trembled with rage. “Did you hurt my daughter?” His eyes, red with anger, were terrifying. 

Leo’s face turned pale. Penny tried to cover it up, “She fell by herself…” 

Before she could finish, Herman landed a punch on her, breaking his principle of never hitting a woman. 

One punch wasn’t enough. He followed with a kick to Penny’s belly. 

Leo was too shocked to react.
