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...”
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.
“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.
After dealing with Penny, Herman grabbed Leo by the collar and gave him a beating.
Herman hadn’t been this angry in a long time. Pattie was just a child, but she was badly hurt. Herman left them both in a bad
state, called someone to deal with them, and took Pattie to the hospital. On the way, he was overwhelmed by an inexplicable
fear. It was a feeling he had only experienced once before, when Anastasia had a car accident.
He feared something might happen to Pattie. Deep down, he had already regarded this child as his own daughter.
At the hospital.
Pattie was rushed to the emergency room. Layna, after an initial check-up, was fine. The doctors diagnosed that she had
probably fainted due to shock.
Anastasia and Herman waited outside the emergency room. Upon learning that Herman had found Pattie at the construction site,
Anastasia was chilled to the bone.

It was clear that Layna had run over from the construction site. She knew that Pattie was in the hands of Leo and Penny, but she
lied, claiming she hadn’t seen her. She was essentially sending Pattie to her death.
How could a child who was not even five years old be so evil?
