Chapter 374

“It depends on Joey’s condition,” Herman stated, his voice laced with exhaustion. “I can only bail her out. The rest is up to her.” Anastasia knew better than to push any further. Joey and Gianna’s ongoing feud had no resolution, and their interference would only make things worse.

“You need to rest,” Anastasia urged gently, her heart aching at the sight of her husband’s fatigue.

With Herman by her side, Anastasia felt safe. She climbed into bed and quickly fell into a peaceful slumber.

The next day, Herman left for the office as usual. Before he left, he instructed Anastasia to stay home and rest.

Anastasia complied obediently. Despite the boredom, she knew it was necessary for her unborn child’s safety. She just had to endure a few more months.

In an effort to keep Anastasia company, Herman messaged Monica, asking her to come over. Monica rushed over to their home in Harmony Meadows while Salma took Pattie to school.

Penny’s child was still nowhere to be found. As Salma and Pattie left their neighborhood, they saw Penny returning, her eyes wild and her hair disheveled. She had been searching for her son all night, and her heels were blistered from walking.

Penny stared at Pattie intensely. Pattie was frightened and hid behind Salma. “When she wants to hit me, she looks like that,” Pattie whispered fearfully.

Salma was scared, too. Penny’s sleep-deprived eyes were bloodshot, and her gaze was fierce.

“I’ll protect you,” Salma reassured Pattie, pulling her closer as they crossed the road towards the kindergarten.

Penny followed them, her gaze never leaving them. Salma quickened her pace, leading Pattie into the safety of the kindergarten. She reminded Pattie not to leave with anyone except her.

“I know, Grandma,” Pattie replied obediently, her backpack bouncing on her back as she followed her teacher inside.
