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
“What the hell? Have you gotten bewitched by Penny?” Caleb did not say anything else as he lowered his gaze and unclenched his fist. A feeling of helplessness washed over him. Winston waited for a couple of moments before concluding something must have happened. Moreover, it must be something that had Caleb feeling extremely aggrieved. Penny was the only person he could not bring himself to seek revenge on. “I don’t understand, Caleb. What on earth is it that’s got you this attracted to her?” “She’s the best fuck I’ve ever had. Does that please you?” Caleb ended the call after saying that, and Winston let out an exasperated laugh as he gazed at his phone. Caleb was the most stubborn man ever!Winston tossed his phone aside and called the police, instructing them to have Chelsea tossed into jail once again. After all, it was not worth losing his friendship with Caleb over that woman. However, before he made the call, he abruptly recalled what Caleb had said. All Caleb
“Hire a caregiver and get them to enter his room and check if he’s running a fever. I’m sure you know as well just how serious are the injuries he sustained this time. Why didn’t he rest in the hospital for a while longer?” “Mr. Fergerson was supposed to stay in the hospital for another half a month, Ms. Penny. But he demanded to be discharged from the hospital when he heard that Chelsea had injured Nani. "Also, we’ve conducted an investigation and learned that Chelsea isn't pregnant with his child. They didn't even sleep together that night. He only did what he did because you dropped by Kensington Gardens that night… "He fell asleep after you left. Chelsea lied to Mr. Fergerson and us. The father of the baby she’s carrying is some male worker.” Penny opened her mouth, but no words came out. She did not know how to react to all this information.She had to admit she had felt a spark of happiness when she heard Sebastian say Caleb had not slept with Chelsea. “What about Chel
Penny was so nervous that her palms were covered in sweat when she returned to Caleb’s room. She slowly shut the door behind her. She walked back to the bed. Caleb frowned and was just about to say once again that he was not going to eat any medicine when a shadow loomed over him. He opened his eyes and felt a pair of warm lips press against his. Penny used the tip of her tongue to gently pry his lips apart and shove the pills into his mouth. He was so surprised that he could not even react in time. By the time he returned to his senses, the pills had already slid down his throat. He began coughing, and Penny hurriedly handed him a glass of warm water as she patted his back soothingly. “Have some water.” Caleb’s lips were dry and cracked, but he refused to have any water. Penny tried pulling the same trick again. She took a sip of water and pressed their lips together. However, Caleb was not falling for it again. He turned his head the other way and asked coldly, “Wha
Penny turned around, and she soon heard trickling sounds. Then, she heard him getting himself toilet paper before he flushed the toilet. Caleb was truly a clean freak even when it came to himself, to the point where it was slightly ridiculous. Penny helped him over to the sink so that he could wash his hands. As water gushed from the tap, she heard him ask, “How’s Nani?”Sure enough, though his anger had driven him to speak harshly last night, they were not his true feelings. “She’s not in any imminent danger anymore.” “Alright.” Their conversation was extremely dry. When Caleb finished washing his hands, Penny grabbed a wipe so she could wipe his fingers for him. Caleb was extremely tall, and all he needed to do to embrace her was to extend his arms slightly. However, he did not do that. All he did instead was lower his head and watch her wipe his fingers carefully. She tossed the wipe into the nearby trash can once she was done. “You’re hungry, aren’t you? Le
Penny glanced at the clock. It was getting late, and she had to get back home. However, Caleb had decided to give her another task. She had no choice but to stay and retrieve the documents he needed from the study. She was about to enter the room again when she heard Sebastian on the phone. It sounded like he was talking to Fergerson Corporation’s higher management. “So? Has Harrison been dealing with all the documents lately? I don’t think he has the right to do that yet.” No wonder they had not been receiving any work documents for the past two days. Harrison had been taking care of them all. The upper management hemmed and hawed. It was evident they all believed that Harrison would be taking over as president of the company soon. After all, the deadline on the bet Caleb had made with Automobile Maestros was nearing, but he had not done anything yet. Caleb had not even been to work at Fergerson Corporation for the past half a month. Did that not mean he had already given
Francis seemed to know she was coming and greeted her warmly, inviting her to sit down."Penpen, are you feeling better?"Penny breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sir Fergerson was in good spirits."Grandpa Fergerson, shall I join you for a game of chess?"Francis raised an eyebrow and then smiled, "Sure."The butler quickly set up the chessboard.Penny sat down properly, picked up a chess piece, and made the first move on the board.Francis was skilled in chess, and knew Penny was also quite talented, so he asked, "Are you determined to win this time?"Penny did not reply, focusing intently on the game.After a while, she took Sir Fergerson's castle, declaring, "Check."Realizing Penny's seriousness, Francis also got serious and moved his other pieces to block her attack.Finally, with only five pieces left on each side, Penny set down her chess piece."Grandpa Fergerson, I want to ask you to give Caleb 15% of your shares in your hands."At this moment, Francis c
