The Bound Between Us

Chapter 371

Penny’s arm was bleeding profusely. Some bold spectators gathered to watch the spectacle, but none dared to approach too closely. Penny had stopped running. The disappearance of her son had hit her hard. Compared to her son, the pain in her arm was insignificant.

Penny sat on the ground, sobbing. “My son… where are you? Please, answer me! It’s all because of that damn Anastasia. We were a happy family, until you came along. Would my son go missing if you didn’t take Pattie away?”

Leo was staring intently at Penny, brandishing a knife menacingly. “Penny, you’re as stubborn as a mule. I told you to take care of our son. If you were not so engrossed in your poker games, would he go missing? If our son doesn’t return, I won’t let go of you.”

After his rant, Leo went back inside, with the knife in hand. This dramatic episode had finally come to an end.

The entire neighborhood knew about the Wests’ missing child, including Anastasia.

This news came as a shock to Anastasia. She told her mother, Salma, “Mom, don’t let Pattie play downstairs as much in the coming days. I’m afraid running into the Wests could be harmful to her.”

Penny had previously hurt Pattie. Now with her son missing, she might take her anger out on Pattie. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Salma nodded in agreement. “I know, dear. I’ll keep Pattie away from them. Did you see Leo running around the neighborhood with a knife? It was terrifying.”

Salma was still shaken up. She would definitely keep Pattie away from the Wests.

Tavon seized the opportunity to interject. “Ana, I got you some vitamins. Remember to take them. They’re good for you and the baby.”

Tavon had the audacity to follow Salma into the house, making himself comfortable on the couch.

Anastasia was at a loss. After all, Tavon was her biological father. She couldn’t treat him as an enemy, but she could treat him as a stranger.

Salma said in a dismissive tone, “Tavon, take your stuff and go. We don’t need it.”
