Pattie was out like a light in Anastasia's arms in no time.
Anastasia had a faint, comforting scent about her that was so soothing it made you feel right at home. Pattie was clinging onto Anastasia's skirt for dear life, a clear sign of her deep-seated insecurity.
Watching Pattie snooze away, Anastasia felt an odd sense of peace. She cautiously placed the child on the bed. When she took off Pattie's shoes, she noticed they were old, worn out and didn't even fit properly.
What kid wasn't the apple of their parents' eye these days? Even the most neglectful of parents wouldn't let their kid strut around in shoes like these.
Pattie's heels were all worn out, but she'd never once complained about it hurting.
Seeing the wounds on Pattie's feet had already broken Anastasia's heart. But when she took off Pattie's clothes, she couldn't hold back the tears. Pattie was black and blue all over. Clearly, someone had been beating her. There were finger marks and thin lines, as well as a bunch of small wounds like she'd been pricked with a needle.
Was this child abuse?
Anastasia's hand was shaking, she wanted to touch Pattie's wounds, but she didn't dare, afraid it would cause Pattie more pain. Anastasia couldn't hold back her tears.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Anastasia wiped away her tears and went to open the door. It was Monica.
"Ana, are you feeling okay?" Monica had heard Anastasia wasn't feeling well, so she came to check on her. Seeing her red, tear-streaked eyes, she quickly asked, "Why are you crying?"
"Shh!" Anastasia made a hushing gesture, "Keep it down, the kid just fell asleep; don't wake her."
"Kid? What kid?" Monica was totally lost.
"I found a kid in the neighborhood." Anastasia quickly filled her in.
