Penny was both sad and angry, Rebecca patted her back and tried to comfort her."Penny, are you all right? I swear to God I don't know how this will happen. I felt awfully guilty for not helping you." Said Lisa who was still trying to gulp air after running."Lisa, things had moved too fast for my mind to keep up. But I think Kenny did not really like you. Penny, listen to me. What I have found was that Kenny knew that you would ask him, but he was too afraid to facing you.

Lisa could not gather form her expression whether she was happy or angry, it was tightly locked down. However, her tone was cutting and haughty. She managed to produce a dim, watery smile while speaking."Son, it seems that she is the reason you come to Dong city so often.
