Chapter 142 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Penny had always wanted to get rid of Pattie. With her tight budget, an extra mouth to feed was just an added burden that sat uncomfortably with her. She wasn't some kind of saint, just an average woman.
When she gave birth to her son, she tried to have Leo return Pattie to the orphanage, but they wouldn't take her back. It was part of the deal when they adopted her.
Penny and Leo were Pattie's guardians, so Pattie wasn't an orphan and couldn't just be dumped. That would be abandonment. Penny attempted several times to lose Pattie in crowded train stations, but Leo always found her.
Penny was pissed. With so many child traffickers out there every year, why wouldn't anyone snatch Pattie away?
Herman shot Penny a stern look, then gently asked Pattie, "Would you like to come home with me?"
Pattie said nothing, her eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Penny. She didn't understand why her mom didn't love her.
Penny glared at Pattie angrily, muttering, "Ungrateful brat! Go with this man and never come back!"
Pattie shivered in fear, her tear-filled eyes quickly avoiding Penny and hiding in Herman's arms.
Just then, Penny's son started crying. Penny ignored Pattie, sarcastically telling Herman, "Take this little miss away, pronto! You do-gooders love to meddle! You better take care of her, and not just talk the talk. If you actually do it, school fees and all, I'll be damned impressed."
In Penny's eyes, those who took care of other people's kids were idiots. Back when she couldn't get pregnant, she wouldn't have adopted a girl to drag her down if it wasn't for the fortune teller saying she had to adopt first to have her own child.
Penny stormed off to tend to her son, not giving a damn about Pattie.
Herman was shocked at the sight of such a cold-blooded woman. Holding Pattie, he said, "Let's go home."
