When Herman had brought Pattie to the hospital, her face was smeared with blood, which was a sight that shook them to the core.

The love Herman had for Pattie was no secret to Anastasia. Despite not being related by blood, Herman treated Pattie like his own daughter. He would buy her the best and the most expensive of everything, had even decorated a pink princess room for her in their new house, and built a mini amusement park in their backyard.
