Chapter 133 Give Her Your Heart

The tables had now turned in a way Fiona could never have anticipated. She had never envisioned a scenario where Penelope would seize control, emerging victorious. The taste of defeat was bitter and hard to swallow.

"I won't forget this, Penelope," Fiona hissed under her breath, a promise of retribution laced with venom. "Just give me a chance, and you'll pay dearly. You'll be on your knees begging for my mercy!"

In a fit of rage, she scrubbed her face harshly, her eyes shooting daggers at the toilet as she gagged once more. She had swallowed the water used to clean the brush, the repugnant toilet water. That detestable Penelope! She resolved to consult with her father and devise a plan.

As Penelope was on the verge of closing the door to her hospital room, Kelvin's hand intervened. Despite her efforts to shut it, his superior strength prevailed, pushing it open effortlessly and stepping inside.

"Why are you following me?" Penelope questioned, her brows furrowing. "Shouldn't you be consoling your dear Fiona?"

"Why would I do that?" he retorted.

"Isn't she your darling, your sweetheart?"

"She's not. You are," Kelvin declared plainly.

His candid admission left Penelope momentarily speechless. Were all men this audacious? Charming when in love, yet frigid when not.

Penelope scoffed, "I remember how attentive you were to Fiona, how swiftly things change. It's all smiles for the newcomer, tears for the one left behind."

"I never had feelings for Fiona," he confessed.

"And you believe that?" she challenged.

"It's true," Kelvin asserted, meeting her gaze. "It was always about responsibility, from the start till now."

"Responsibility?" she echoed, perplexed.

"It's a long story, but I'll handle it. It's an issue between us, not about love, but responsibility."
