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.

“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?
