The Bound Between Us

Chapter 390

Penny spotted Layna approaching and quickly darted out from the side, snatching Layna and swiftly stuffing a piece of cloth into her mouth.

With the light behind them and the shadow of the trees surrounding them, Penny, who was on her first kidnapping mission, was nervous and didn’t take the time to look at the child’s face. She quickly pulled out a rope, tied Layna up, and stuffed her into a burlap sack.

She had been planning this kidnapping for several days, visualizing every move and procedure over and over in her head, which is why she was able to execute it seamlessly.

After bagging Layna, Penny hoisted her onto her shoulder and started walking. When Layna began to struggle inside the sack, Penny just held her tightly.

Penny had Leo’s assistance. As a couple, they silently kidnapped Layna and brought her to an unfinished building. This place was secluded and absolutely quiet, with no chance of anyone coming by.

This was an old construction site where Leo had worked before. He knew this area well.

The couple carried Layna up to the fourth floor before stopping. Penny’s hand was throbbing. The cut Leo had given her before was deep. Despite the fact that their relationship had deteriorated to the point of harming each other, they were united on the issue of finding their son.

The police had provided no updates, driving the couple to desperation, which is why they resorted to this method.

The burlap sack was still, and Penny quickly said, “Untie her. She can’t suffocate. If she dies, we’ll never get our son back.”

Leo took a deep breath before untying the sack.

Layna wasn’t suffocated, just exhausted from struggling. The confined space of the sack made breathing difficult, and she was dazed and stopped moving.

When Leo opened the sack and saw Layna, he was stupefied. “Who is this? This isn’t Pattie. Where’s Pattie?”

Upon closer inspection, Penny realized that she had kidnapped Layna, not Pattie.

“This is… this is that Jewell’s girl. It was dark, and I saw her wearing the same dress Pattie wore during the day, I thought it was Pattie.”

“What are we supposed to do now that we’ve kidnapped the wrong person?” Leo complained. “You’re always messing things up. What can you ever do right?”

I supposed to know?” Penny retorted. “It’s
