Chapter 855 Do You Miss Me?

After returning to his office, Quentin could not help but send Caleb a message about the awkward incident with Penny.

[Sorry.]

Caleb replied quickly this time.

[???]

[I accidentally saw her body.]

Almost immediately, Caleb called, his words strained with irritation.

"Quentin Parker, you'd better explain to me what you mean by accidentally seeing her body."

Quentin explained the situation, concluding with, "I asked a nurse to check on her."

Caleb felt somewhat relieved and ended the call.

He then called Penny.

Penny, who had just changed her bedding, answered his call.

"Penpen, has your fever subsided?"

"Yes."

"What do you think of Quentin's appearance?" Caleb asked.

"Huh?"

Penny frowned, confused by the question.

After a minute of silence, Caleb changed the subject.

"Why didn’t you reply to my message?"

"I didn’t check my phone."

"I miss you."

The previous conversation was very dull, but Penny's heart raced at his three words. She sat up straighter, not responding.
