The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 591

Anastasia's heart skipped a beat when she heard the sound and turned toward it. Around the corner, a little girl joyfully jumped into a woman's arms, shouting, "Mommy, I want some cake!"

The woman smiled and said, "Alright, let's go get some."

Hand in hand, they walked away, their happiness piercing Anastasia's heart. Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered to herself, "Pattie, where are you? Give mommy a sign." She felt like she was on the verge of breaking down.

Just then, a janitor came by pushing a cart. Anastasia pulled herself together and approached her, "Excuse me, ma'am, did you happen to see a little girl in a white princess dress, short hair, about five years old, three days ago during the wedding here?"

Anastasia had asked almost every staff member in the hotel. She couldn't remember if she'd asked this janitor before.

The janitor, who looked to be in her fifties, thought for a moment and said, "I think I did. Was she the one with a butterfly clip in her hair, wearing a princess dress?"

"Yes, yes, that's her!" Anastasia asked eagerly, "Where did you see her? Where was the last place you spotted her?"

"Over there," the janitor pointed to the other end of the corridor. "I saw the little girl talking to a toy. Haven't seen her since."

The janitor had been cleaning and didn't pay much attention. After finishing her work that evening, she went home and took two days off, only returning to work today.

The reason the janitor remembered Pattie was because of a Peppa Pig toy the girl had been interested in—it caught her eye because her own granddaughter loved Peppa Pig too.

"A toy?" Anastasia was puzzled. "Which toy? What did she say? Where did the little girl go after that?"

"It was a Peppa Pig toy," the janitor explained. "I saw the child talking to it, but after that, I really didn't see her anymore."
