Chapter 168 Kelvin, Hurt Yourself

The room fell silent as those words were spoken.

Penelope's eyes were wide open as she stared at Kelvin, as he knelt on the ground. Despite kneeling over scattered rocks and mud, he endured the pain. He exuded a dignified aura by keeping a straight back and chin up even though he was in such a

state.

"You... would do this all for her?" Fiona repeated, her voice filled with jealousy. "Kelvin, are you willing to die with me in exchange for Penelope's life?"

"Yes," Kelvin replied.

"Are you sure that you are willing to die, for her?" Fiona asked again.

Kelvin answered, "As long as Penelope is alive and well." It didn't matter to Kelvin if he died if it meant that she could live well for him, hereon after.

Fiona's jealousy drove her to the brink of madness. "You certainly love Penelope so much, to the point of being willing to die for her! Unbelievable!" she heckled.

Tears blurred Penelope's eyes. She shook her head continuously, and pleaded, "Kelvin, you don't have to go this far for me..."

"Penelope," he said. "I hope you live a long life." It turned out that the most touching and romantic words were not "I love you" or "I marry you," but rather, "I hope you live well in this world." Wishing his beloved a long life even if he died.

Tears mixed with blood as they rolled down Penelope's cheeks while her wounds throbbed, but all of this was nothing compared to the anguish she felt in her heart.

Why did Kelvin have to be such a contradictory person... making her both love and hate him?

"Is it all right with you, Fiona?" Kelvin asked. "If you let Penelope go, in exchange, I'll become your hostage." As he spoke, he began to walk towards this side.

"Wait!" Fiona said. "How can I trust you? As a woman, how could I possibly overpower you? As soon as you get close to me, you'll knock me down!"
