The crutch flew about three meters away.Penny's fingertips curled slightly as she looked up at him.Finn took out a cigarette, unabashedly meeting her gaze.Penny did not feel aggrieved and just slowly stood up."Mr. Sanders, what do you mean by this?"Was it because of Caleb or because she had provoked Selina before?Finn sized her up from head to toe. She had no visible injuries. She probably just hurt her foot, and she seemed to be in good spirits now.Unlike Caleb, who had been in and out of the emergency room several times. He almost stepped through death's door."Caleb suffered such severe injuries for you. You’ve reached the door of his ward, but you didn't even go in to see him?"Penny immediately understood that he did it for Caleb."There's someone looking after him."Chelsea was crying so heartbrokenly, and she was carrying Caleb's child.Finn found it amusing. His expression suddenly darkened, and he pushed her against the wall."Penny, if it weren't for him l
It was hard to imagine, and she dared not think about it.Two days later, Caleb finally woke up.His first sight was the white ceiling and the sound of a woman's noisy crying.Frowning, he raised his hand to touch his head but heard Sir Fergerson's voice."So, Caleb really got someone pregnant? When did this happen? Great job fooling around with women! When he wakes up, I ought to give him a piece of my mind!"Hearing this, Caleb's eyelashes fluttered, and he felt a headache.However, he did not move and wisely chose to continue sleeping.Meanwhile, Francis sat cold-faced in front of the bed while leaning on a cane.In the presence of Sir Fergerson, Chelsea did not dare to cry anymore and sat anxiously.Sir Fergerson's gaze lingered on her before asking, "When did this happen, and how did you meet him?"Chelsea knew this was Sir Fergerson, a figure she could not afford to offend. He was an existence beyond her wildest dreams.However, this was her one chance in life. If she
Winston quickly brought some warm water to Caleb's lips."Still worried about her, huh? You've been unconscious for half a month, and she hasn't come to see you," he said.Caleb's brows furrowed. His lips, darkened with dried blood, showed signs of severe dehydration.His skin was extremely pale, and he had lost a lot of weight. His eyes dimly turned toward the window as he looked somewhat desolate."Really?"He was somewhat in disbelief, finding it hard to accept that Penny could be so heartless."What else? You know your place in her heart," Winston continued.Caleb suddenly remembered Penny’s words, saying that he was incomparable to even a fraction of another man.He was well aware of it but refused to believe it.He had always known she was cool and calm, but he had not expected her to be this indifferent.It was the same cycle every time. One moment they were close, and the next, she could utter hurtful words.It was as if all their life-and-death experiences and all t
However, before he could get up to look for Penny, Winston chimed in from the side, “How about I feed you?”“Get lost,” Caleb replied, his face darkening as if he was thoroughly disgusted by the suggestion.Winston just shrugged his shoulders while checking his watch, realizing he indeed had to leave for another engagement.“Alright, I'll come to see you tomorrow,” he said as he left.After Winston's departure, Finn stood up as well, stating, “I need to monitor the progress on that case. I'll call someone to come in and feed you.”“No need,” Caleb retorted, clearly not keen on letting anyone see him in his current state.However, Finn did not respond to that. Instead, he walked over to the next ward where Penny was staying.Penny could have been discharged that morning, but for some reason, she had not completed the discharge formalities yet.Upon reaching her ward, Finn knocked on the door and said, “Caleb’s awake. You go and play nanny for him." He left without waiting for he
Penny was left speechless by his shamelessness. However, when she lifted her eyes and saw the wound on his chest, she lowered her lashes and silently wiped the droplets of water from his legs.She grabbed a nightgown lying nearby and draped it over him, simply tying a knot.While bending down to drain the bathtub, she suddenly felt his embrace enveloping her from behind.Penny froze. The next moment, she heard him say, "Why are you so cold-hearted?"His voice was still hoarse as it had not fully recovered.Her fingertips had just touched the warm water.The plug of the bathtub was lifted, and the water began to drain away slowly.Although Caleb was physically aroused, he was too weak to continue and felt exhausted from the ordeal.Penny helped him back to bed. He lay there quietly, his face now a sickly pale color.In the deep silence of the night, Penny still sat by his bedside, staring at his face for a long time. His skin was flawless, and his features perfect. Even in hi
Of course, Chelsea knew this. She realized she could not be too excessive, lest she completely annoy Caleb.Thus, after being allowed inside, she just waited for Caleb on the first floor.She knew Caleb's injuries would not heal so quickly, so he definitely would not return in the next few days.She stayed there until the next day, then saw a white dog in the yard. Not knowing Caleb was allergic to dog fur, she thought it was his pet.When she saw a helper feeding Nani the best kind of meat, she hurriedly offered, "Let me feed her. Is this Mr. Fergerson's dog? She's so cute. What's her name?"The helper did not like her much, so they did not say much in response.Chelsea thought these helpers were looking down on her and sneered internally.'Ha! Once I marry Caleb, I'll replace every single one of these people.'She planned to have her fake friends serve her like a lady of the house.She sneered and carried the beef over to Nani.On the way there, she overheard two helpers ch
In the hospital, Penny had taken care of Caleb all morning and then inquired with the doctor about when he could be discharged."At least another half a month, depending on Mr. Fergerson's recovery," the doctor replied.Penny nodded and brought Caleb his lunch.Caleb now had a phone by his side, presumably brought over by Sebastian.She noticed her phone was also set up.Caleb had just turned on the phone when it started ringing. It was a call from a helper at Kensington Gardens.Unable to hold the phone due to his weakness and also needing to eat, Caleb put it on speaker."What is it?""Sir, Ms. Lopac has been waiting here for you since last night."Caleb stiffened and instinctively looked at Penny. He remembered he had impulsively told her he was going to marry Chelsea.Penny was someone who took things very seriously and probably believed his words.He had just managed to hold her hand quietly last night. He did not want their relationship to regress."Kick her out. Who
Penny hurried to the animal hospital, where several helpers were already present. Nani had been taken in for an examination, and the results were out. She was in critical condition and was being resuscitated."She was abused. You should check who might've mistreated the dog," said the vet.Penny could barely steady herself upon hearing this. She was instantly enraged, and her whole being ignited with fury."What do you mean?"Realizing she was Nani's owner, the vet adjusted his glasses and clarified, "Exactly what it sounds like. The coma was caused by an external force. If you don't find out who's responsible for the abuse, even if she recovers this time, she might not be so lucky if the same thing were to happen again."Penny clenched her teeth tightly, her piercing gaze falling on the helpers.When the helpers heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt down."Ms. Sullivan, we wouldn’t dare to mistreat Nani even in our wildest imagination. We all know how much Mr. Fer
