The Bound Between Us

Chapter 131

Pattie had a nightmare. In it, she was screaming bloody murder, writhing like a possessed being, kicking up a storm with her feet, and flailing her arms to keep anyone from coming close.

Anastasia tried to soothe Pattie but ended up getting her face scratched up by Pattie’s frantic clawing. Despite the pain, Anastasia held Pattie close, whispering gently. “Don’t be scared, I’m here, sweetie…

Hearing this gentle voice and smelling this comforting scent, Pattie gradually calmed down and drifted back to sleep. Anastasia held Pattie tightly, saying. “This kid must have been scared witless to have such nightmares.”

Watching the situation unfold, Monica was also shocked. “Poor kid,” she murmured, her heart aching for Pattie.

Anastasia began to rock Pattie gently, humming a tune while her hand patted Pattie’s shoulder. Monica was taken aback by this sight. She even mistook Anastasia for Patties mom. The resemblance between Anastasia and Pattie was uncanny.
