Chapter 230
Anastasia took Pattie to the hospital, her heart aching at the sight of Pattie’s wounds, and she was
pissed off. She couldn’t stand Penny’s abuse towards Pattie.
The doctor checked Pattie’s pupils and cooled her down, scolding, “Why didn’t you bring her in sooner?
As her guardian, how could you be so irresponsible? Any longer, and she could have been in real
danger.”
High fever could really be a threat to life; it could even trigger cerebral palsy, meningitis, and all kinds of
complications.
Anastasia regretted not insisting on having Pattie with her in the first place. “Doctor, please save this
child.”
The doctor said, “You go outside and wait, then pay the fee.”

a hospital with a cop, it was the best evidence, and it would prove Penny’s abuse of Pattie. If she
wanted to adopt Pattie again, this would make things easier.
Leo and Penny were not Pattie’s biological parents. Even if they were legal guardians, if they were
abusive, they could lose their guardianship rights.
Pattie had been running a high fever, and Anastasia was waiting in the hospital. As for Salma Jewell,
she had to ask Monica Franco to look after her mother.
She didn’t call Herman, worried it would interfere with his work.
When Penny came home from playing poker, she found the door to her house had been kicked in, and
Pattie was gone. Penny stood at the door and muttered loudly, “Who the hell did this? They broke my
expensive door.”
The neighbor came out and said, “Penny, you better go check on Pattie at the hospital. The cops were
here this morning, and they took Pattie to the hospital.”
Hearing that the cops had been at her house, Penny was a little panicked. “Why would the cops come?
Pattie was taken to the hospital by the cops?”
The neighbor said, “Yes, and also a resident of our complex, you better go check at the hospital.”
“Alright, alright,” Penny answered verbally, but she had no intention of going to the hospital. If she went
to the hospital, she would definitely have to pay for Pattie’s treatment, and she didn’t want to spend the
money. If someone else was willing to take care of Pattie, then let them pay for it..
Just as Penny walked into the house, Leo called, “Did you beat Pattie again? The cop called me. Pattie
is in the hospital. Where are
you?”

Leo seemed very angry on the phone; he felt helpless.
Penny said casually, “I’m at home. I just hit Pattie a few times with a stick. She’ll be fine. She just has a
fever. It’s not my fault.” “How many times have I told you, you just don’t listen. This time it’s really a big
problem, Ms. Jewell is suing us for abusing Pattie.” Leo said anxiously, “I’m on my way home, and I’ll
be home tonight. You go to the hospital now and see how Pattie is doing.”
Upon hearing that Anastasia was planning to sue them, Penny was immediately very angry, “Anastasia
is such a busybody. If she loves kids so much, why doesn’t she have her own? If she cares about
Pattie so much, let her take Pattie away. She’s interfering too much in our business.”
“What’s the use of complaining? We should go to the hospital to see Pattie right away.”
“I don’t want to go, it costs money to go to the hospital,” Penny said angrily. “Leo, are you nuts? We
can’t afford the hospital fees. As soon as you step into the hospital, you have to pay a lot of medical
fees. Anastasia is with Pattie. Let her pay, so we don’t have to pay.” Leo was feeling very helpless. “At
a time like this, you’re still worried about this. Forget it, I’ll go see Pattie when I get home tonight.”
Leo knew he couldn’t persuade Penny, so he didn’t say anything more. He got home at seven in the
evening, and as soon as he got home, the police came and took them both to the police station for
questioning.
