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
The car did not head toward Kensington Gardens. Instead, it stopped at Dawn Haven Villa.Chelsea was unaware that this was Penny's villa. She thought it was another one of Caleb's properties.Her face lit up with joy. She even started imagining that Caleb was being incredibly generous and planning on giving her a villa!If she were to recall, he had given her a million before, then 500 grand. It was the kind of money that ordinary people could not earn in a lifetime.The value of this villa must be astronomical.It was possibly in the hundreds of millions.Her eyes shone with astonishment, which then turned to shock when she entered the living room and saw Penny sitting on the sofa. Chelsea's eyebrows were raised slightly. She immediately started hurling accusations."Penny, what is this about?"Penny was eerily calm. It was a quietness that seemed a bit unsettling.Yet thinking of the child in her womb, Chelsea was unafraid of anything. After all, the paternity test had yet
At the hospital, Caleb had received the surveillance footage provided by Kensington Gardens. At first, he was not sure what it was until he opened it to view.The helpers also called to inform him, "Sir, Nani is still being resuscitated at the hospital, and the prognosis is not good."His heart sank instantly."What about Chelsea?""Sir, after you ordered us to drive Ms. Lopac away, she left."Caleb then called Penny. Sebastian had set up their phones that morning, so Penny should answer.However, Penny's phone was in her bag on the sofa and on silent mode, so she did not hear it.Moreover, she was still busy beating Chelsea up.She had shown restraint knowing Chelsea was pregnant, so she only struck her face.When Caleb saw that Penny was not answering her phone, he immediately thought she had gone to confront Chelsea.He was on Penny's side in this matter, as what Chelsea had done this time was indeed despicable.Yet deep down, he could not help but think about the child C
Caleb pushed the wheelchair closer and grabbed Penny's hand which was still squeezing Chelsea's neck.Penny was already running low on strength, so she was easily stopped.Chelsea was about to faint moments ago and found strength with Caleb's arrival. She hoarsely pleaded, "Mr. Fergerson, save me. This woman wants to kill me. Please, for the sake of our child, save me."Mentioning the child at this moment was like a thorn piercing Penny again.Caleb's expression darkened instantly, yet Chelsea continued."I knew you wouldn't let me die! I'm carrying your child. This woman wants to kill our baby. She's just a vile village girl, a disgusting beast—just like that dead animal. Mr. Fergerson, our child's life is worth much more than that beast.""Shut up!"Caleb's tone was icy, like a knife stabbing at Chelsea.Under normal circumstances, Chelsea would have been terrified of him.However, having just skirted death, she feared nothing now and only wanted to survive. She kept mention
Caleb froze, thinking he had misheard. Penny was there that night?He had no recollection of it at all.Upon being reminded by Francis, he suddenly remembered something. In his drunken blur, he had indeed seen Penny, but he thought he was dreaming.Since it was a dream, he wanted to do what he desired, so he pressed her against the window without hesitation.He was desperate for her, almost wanting to break her waist with his grip.Nevertheless, he genuinely believed it was a hallucination due to missing her too much.The pleasure was indeed incomparable. On reflection, the joy he had always gotten from her was indescribable."Grandpa, I..."Francis threw a file at him."I've already investigated it. Chelsea Lopac left Kensington Gardens and immediately went to look for a male waiter. The child was definitely conceived then. Although it happened on the same day, the baby is definitely not a Fergerson. "You should've known if you had slept with another woman. It wouldn't have
Sir Fergerson seemed to realize he had said too much and quickly waved his hand in dismissal."What? You only know how to mess things up! Anyway, handle it yourself! You slept with someone, misidentified her, and let Chelsea Lopac annoy everyone for so long. Look at the mess you've made!""Grandpa!"Caleb's voice rose sharply, his chest heaving with anger."You're saying Nani's previous owner is the man Penny liked, is that right?"Francis stood up while leaning on his cane. He was clearly intending to avoid further involvement in the matter."It's just my guess.""A guess?"Caleb found it almost laughable. His breathing was unsteady.He felt a choking sensation in his voice. If it was true, it would be highly ironic.Initially, he had endured his allergy and taken Nani to the vet, which resulted in his own hospitalization.He even talked about Nani to Penny, hoping it would elicit some reaction from her.Now, it turned out that Nani was left behind by the man she liked?D
The lobby became very quiet, and for a moment, Caleb felt as if he could not hear anything.He gripped the wheelchair tightly, with the veins on the back of his hands bulging.Penny's words were destructive because she was unaware that Chelsea was not carrying Caleb's child. Hence, her statement had a double meaning.She said that Nani's life was worth more than Caleb's child's life.It referred to the child she had once carried and the one Chelsea was carrying now.It was a heart-piercing statement.Caleb coughed a few times, even appearing disheveled. He was unsure of how to counter her words.In her presence, he could be dominant, and he could be shameless.Yet after she made that statement, he lost all ability to retort.He pursed his lips and listened to her conversation with the doctor."How is Nani doing?""There's been a response. The attending physician is still trying."Caleb could no longer process the rest of the conversation.The human brain was strange. Altho
As Sebastian pushed Caleb out, he dared not ask a word.They soon reached the car, and Sebastian opened the door. He wanted to ask if they were heading back to Dawn Haven Villa or Kensington Gardens, but he caught a glimpse of Caleb's lowered head. He seemed to be lost in thought.Perhaps it was just the dim light, making the clear droplets on his hospital gown appear to be just Sebastian's illusion."Sir, shall we go back to Kensington Gardens?""Mhm."An extension slid out from the car, allowing the wheelchair to glide up easily.Sebastian took his place in the driver's seat.Caleb had completed his discharge procedures. He informed the doctors he would recuperate at home and have a professional physician visit daily. The hospital did not object, only insisting that he strictly follow medical advice.Back at Dawn Haven Villa, Caleb asked, "Go find out why Penny drove her car into the gate of Kensington Gardens before."Given Caleb's character, Sebastian thought he would simp
