Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1028 After
The incident happened during their senior year when they were about to start their internships. Cecilia's grandmother, Scarlett, suddenly fell ill and was taken to the hospital by a neighbor.During her university years, Penny often returned to Riverwood, the place where she grew up, harboring a sense of nostalgia. However, she never went back to the Lowe residence.Even on New Year's Eve, she stayed elsewhere, only returning on the first day of the new year for a short visit. She would quickly leave under the pretense of having to work part-time, not even staying for a meal.Spencer scolded her, calling it disgraceful for the Lowe family's eldest daughter to be out working part-time and showing her face in public.Penny responded with a sarcastic smile, reminding him that he had cut off her allowance and never reinstated it. How else was she supposed to survive without working?Spencer, filled with anger, had nothing more to say. It was clear to everyone that he wanted Penny to b
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1029 Dilapidated
That was why, with Scarlett hospitalized, Penny naturally couldn't sit idly by. Since she chose these people as her family, she was willing to pour in effort wholeheartedly.Scarlett had worked in the town without health insurance. Unfamiliar with the policies and having an unreliable son, she had only Cecilia, a young child, with her and hadn't considered buying national health insurance.Now, with the illness and hospitalization, all expenses had to be paid out of their pockets. But where would the money come from?The money she had earned previously was used for her medicine, living expenses with Cecilia, and other essentials. While tuition was covered by the state, living expenses were not.Moreover, Moses often came back to rummage through her belongings and take any money he found until he was finally arrested. It gave Scarlett some respite and allowed her to save a little.But this small amount of money was not enough to cover the medical expenses.Penny took out all the s
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1030 Treating Her Illness
Scarlett was resuscitated in the hospital and transferred to a general ward after a week in the ICU.As soon as she regained a bit of consciousness, she started clamoring to go home.Holding Cecilia's hand, her weak voice trembled as she said, "Cecilia, take me home. I'll be fine with some medicine and a few injections."Cecilia and Penny had already understood Scarlett's health condition thoroughly over these few days. Her constitution had weakened, and her years of illness caused both frustration and sadness.When she felt unwell, she would just buy some painkillers. And if she couldn't bear it, she would go to a nearby clinic for a couple of injections.The doctors at the small clinic advised her to go to the hospital for treatment. But Scarlett stubbornly insisted on getting injections there, saying she had no money to go to the hospital and no one to care for her there.Helpless, the doctors could only prescribe her some medication. But what could they prescribe other than s
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1031 Surgery
Penny didn't need Scarlett to speak to know what she was thinking.Having just been transferred to the general ward for observation, her body was still severely weak. Why let Scarlett exert herself talking?Penny let go of her hand and said earnestly, "Grandma, just relax. Since the doctor said you can be cured, let's cooperate with them fully."There's nothing more important than health and having the family together. If you insist on treating me as an outsider and worrying about the money, then when you get better, you and Cecilia can sell yourselves to me and be my family for life."The playful words finally lightened the atmosphere in the ward.Whether it was Penny's and Cecilia's comforting words taking effect or a natural instinct to grasp every chance for survival, Scarlett's condition began to improve over the next week.Seeing that Scarlett was recovering well, the doctor discussed the surgery schedule with Penny and Cecilia. He explained all the precautions, risks, and
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1032 Early
"Fortunately, the surgery was very successful!"The first one to come out of the room was an intern studying under the anesthesiologist.After delivering the good news, he explained that his teacher was still inside and would only come out once Scarlett regained consciousness slightly.If all of Scarlett's vital signs were stable, she would be transferred to the general ward, and then they could visit her.At this, Penny and Cecilia finally felt a sense of relief. After nearly a whole day without resting, hearing this reassuring news almost made Penny and Cecilia collapse.Seeing their exhausted states, the intern couldn't help but chuckle/ "If you're too tired, go back and get some rest. The hospital staff will take good care of the patient."Besides, the patient won't wake up so soon. Even if you're allowed to visit her, you would just be sitting here."It's better to go home and rest well, and then come back tomorrow fully rested to take care of her. Otherwise, you'll just we
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1033 Sisters
Penny shot Cecilia a displeased look.Cecilia glanced at her phone, saw the two alarms she had set, and gave an embarrassed smile.Penny snorted softly. She went back to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and wash her face. When she came out, she couldn't help but vent."Who was the one who said to turn off all the alarms and sleep until we naturally wake up? It turns out I was the only one who took it seriously, sleeping until noon like a lazy bum."The small, shabby room didn't have a separate dining room, and the dining table was also Cecilia's desk.Penny sat across from her. Still not having much appetite after waking up and brushing her teeth, she sipped her soy milk slowly, looking at the breakfast on the table with a lack of interest.Cecilia apologized, "I suddenly got some work, so I had to get up. Besides, you didn't have anything urgent to do, so it's fine for you to sleep a bit more."Penny had sold her apartment to pay for Scarlett's medical bills and moved to this di
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1034 Starving
"What happened, sweetheart? What made our beautiful young lady angry this time?"Cecilia had just finished setting up the framework for an outsourcing project. After writing the last line of comments, she closed her laptop.It was time to cook. Ordering takeout every day wasn't feasible. It was unhealthy, not tasty, and incredibly expensive.Their principle now was to save wherever they could.She had bought groceries for today's meals while buying breakfast in the morning. The fridge was packed, and opening it gave a homey feeling.As the chill from the fridge greeted her, Penny was comforted by the sight of the stocked food, and her anger dissipated.Resting her chin on her hand and her fingers tapping the table lightly, she looked at the milk, juice, and vegetables in the fridge. Thinking of the frozen food in the freezer, she cooled down as well.Penny lied effortlessly, "My advisor just texted me, saying my thesis format is wrong. Even though I've already submitted it, I ne
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1035 The Joy of Being Alive
Scarlett's surgery was very successful, and her recovery went smoothly afterward.After another two weeks in the hospital for recuperation, Penny and Cecilia brought her home.During this time, Penny learned to cook. Initially, Cecilia did the cooking while Penny watched or followed along with videos.But later, Penny took the initiative to try cooking herself. In the first couple of days, Cecilia watched over her, but soon, Penny could manage on her own.She picked things up quickly, just like she did with her studies at school.At first, she could only cook simple dishes like baked chicken and peppered pork. Eventually, she learned to braise food, and her cutting skills became refined and beautiful.On the day Scarlett was discharged, Penny prepared a full table of dishes.There was no extravagant fare. All the ingredients were chosen based on the doctor's advice and the hospital's dietary recommendations.Still, the food looked and smelled fantastic. It was a clear indicatio

Penny didn't have much free time over the past three years.As she had envisioned, during the first year, she honed her acting skills amidst criticism while also working as a translator.Later on, she felt that acting didn't hold much appeal anymore. Moreover, realizing that there weren't any roles left for her, she gradually gave up and moved toward working behind the scenes.She had some work during this period.It seemed that a daring reality show, not caring about potential risks, decided to capitalize on her controversial popularity and invited her to participate in one of their programs.The reason Penny agreed to participate was because the show's first season had a good reputation, and the payment offered was reasonable.Continuously doing translations could be quite tiring. After discussing with Cecilia and weighing the pros and cons, she eventually signed up for this TV show.Unfortunately, she had underestimated the darker side of human nature.The show's production
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1064 End It
"Really?" Zane blurted out, staring incredulously at Sam, who nodded calmly. His unruly and carefree demeanor was restrained, and his composed attitude showed that he wasn't joking.Zane fell silent again, furrowing his brow as he intently observed Sam.It was as if he thought everything through in an instant, giving up without hesitation. He didn't even remind Zane of the request from years ago to take care of Penny. Instead, he said this would be the last time he would help out.Logically speaking, this should be a satisfactory outcome for Zane. After all, from any perspective, the Lowe family's scion would only be a burden to Sam.Looking again at Sam's attitude, it seemed he didn't want Penny to know he was the one quietly spending money to handle things behind the scenes.Since there was no plan to meet her, he didn't need to worry about anything after that. If that was the case, it would be better to just end it early.That way, if Sam saw Penny falling in love, getting mar
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1063 No Need to Bother
All those old scoundrels from the Lowe family undoubtedly ranked the highest. Then there was Jessica, the entertainment industry's national goddess, who also played a significant role.Besides them, there were a few minor celebrities who didn't really make the cut.However, as Sam's partner and someone who watched him grow up, Zane privately hoped Sam could find a better girl.So, he advised, "There are plenty of socialites in Riverwood, and Amdale has no shortage of beautiful young ladies, either, and Rookfort isn't much different."You and the Lowe family's daughter haven't even officially met…""Who said I haven't met her?" Sam interrupted him without a second thought.He had even seen her twice. How could Zane say they hadn't even met yet?The first time, she gave him all the money she had. The second time, he spoke up to help her get that role.After these interactions, they could be considered acquaintances.Zane choked up and couldn't find the words to refute.He was s
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1062 Enough
Because Penny declined his offer, Zane didn't insist. After a bit of small talk, he ended the call.He politely mentioned that if she needed any help, she could call this number again. If he could assist in any way, he certainly would.However, Zanw knew very well that, given Penny's temperament, she would rather give up what she had than actively seek help from a stranger.Yes, to Penny, Zane was just a stranger. He was a person she had met once but didn't really know.This time, Penny didn't respond as coldly as she did when she was 18. Instead, she exchanged a couple of polite pleasantries, mentioned that she would reach out if needed, and then hung up the phone.After that, she let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the lounge chair on the balcony, gazing at the view outside the window.There were fluffy white clouds in the azure sky and the greenery visible in the neighborhood. Sparrows were chirping persistently as they darted through the forest, and the cicadas loudly bu

Although the other person said only one word, Penny could still tell he didn't have any ill intentions.Because of that faint sense of familiarity, Penny didn't hang up the phone immediately. "Hello? May I ask what this is about?"The unfamiliar and distant tone probably made the man on the other end of the phone pause for a moment. It was only after a brief silence that he responded."Young lady, don't you remember me? It's Zane Moran."His voice carried a laugh, with a hint of teasing.Only then did Penny remember who he was, but she wasn't happy at all.Zane meant no harm when that incident happened back then. But despite that, over the years that had passed, he became one of the people and things Penny would rather not recall.Whether it was the exam she missed, the incident where Spencer took her to the hotel against her will, or Zane, who gave her 30 dollars for a taxi ride.She just wanted to hide all of them deep in her memories.The recent events had particularly made

"I'm fine. You all don't have to look so worried. You're making it seem as if something bad is going to happen to me."Penny looked at the two people at the door who were showing a range of expressions, feeling speechless.Cecilia was provoked by her words, and her eyes turned red."We're worried about you. You have no idea what you look like right now. You're almost like one of those disheartened protagonists in novels who hated the world."Penny clicked her tongue twice and said, "Aren't you exaggerating?"She didn't believe it. She was just worried about money. It wasn't like she had become disillusioned with life.Besides, she didn't dislike this world at all. On the contrary, she really liked it.Whenever Penny came across posts online suggesting that all humans should just die, she always felt like rolling her eyes. If they wanted to die, they shouldn't drag others with them.When searching for her own role in movies, TV dramas, and novels, Penny particularly preferred re
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1059 Helpless
Penny's way of clarifying things was to simply tell the truth.Sometimes, trying to cover things up would just lead to needing 100 more lies to continue the cover-up. That would often end up making things worse and more ridiculous.It was better to tell the truth about the situation.To answer the question of why she lashed out at the Lowe family, she briefly explained her experiences over the years.Why didn't she attend the final paper of the college entrance examinations? She personally reopened that old wound.As for that man in the hotel, Penny didn't have much of an impression of him anymore. She only remembered not taking his business card and accepting 30 dollars from him.Why did she show up at that man's hotel room? She wrote it down truthfully—it was her father who personally took her and left her at the hotel, wanting to trade her like a commodity.Every single word was carefully considered and written by Penny.She didn't share much of these things with Cecilia.

Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1058 Excuses
Once the official statements were released, Penny's career being ruined became a certainty.The only surprising thing was probably that after the film crew issued their statement, the largest investor also requested to withdraw.The film crew was completely shocked, but there was nothing they could do. The scion was willing to lose money just to withdraw his investment, so what could they do?The amount of money in the compensation was nothing compared to the amount that the scion planned to invest. The production team would incur a significant loss.With one less investor, the project's status was essentially downgraded. They had much less room to manipulate their gains now, too.One would understand why the scion was doing this if they used their brain a little.However, the protests from the audience couldn't be ignored, and compared to the investors, it was clearly more important to keep the show going.After all, they could always attract more sponsors, even if the amount o
Yearning for Her Return Chapter 1057 Despised
In addition to the widespread backlash caused by the phone recording, Penny's academic credentials were also scrutinized and exposed.Before the college entrance exam, she had always been the top student in her school and had never ranked anything else.However, in the college entrance exam, she barely passed the minimum mark for key institutions, far below her usual performance.Some people speculated that she had been cheating during regular exams and that her actual abilities were much worse.However, the exam results could be checked online, and the fact that Penny scored zero on the last exam was surprising.It was even more shocking that she was admitted to a top-tier university despite missing an exam. It was truly exceptional.But few people paid attention to this information.After all, the achievements attained through hard work couldn't be faked. Even if the results weren't as expected, it was undeniable that she was stronger than many others.Regarding this topic, t
