Chapter 234

Anastasia was buzzing with excitement over the decision to adopt Pattie. While Herman was off sorting out the paperwork, Anastasia was brushing Pattie’s hair. Seeing Pattie sitting there quietly, Anastasia couldn’t help but think of her own daughter. She had no clue where she was or if she was being treated well by others. Part of her reasons for adopting Pattie was to build up some good fortune for her own daughter, hoping she could meet kind people and be treated well.

“Pattie, you’ll be discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Once we get home, mommy will cook you loads of yummy food and buy you pretty new clothes. How does that sound?”

Anastasia grabbed Pattie’s shoulders, making her look into her eyes, “Pattie, can you call me mommy?”

Anastasia looked at Pattie expectantly and nervously, “Is that okay?”

Pattie, with her big eyes, stared back at Anastasia and finally said, “Mommy.”
