From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 177 I Don't Intend to Forgive Kelvin

Such kidnappings, like what happened to Fiona, can't happen again!

At the hospital entrance, Penelope had just stepped out when a black Mercedes-Benz van pulled up.

"Mrs. Davis, please get in," the bodyguard said respectfully. "We'll take you back to The King Manor."

Grandpa Davis was indeed keeping a close watch on her, not allowing her a shred of freedom.

Penelope nodded, her foot just touching the edge of the vehicle when she heard Monica's voice: "Penelope!"

The bodyguard blocked the way.

"What the... Who are you guys?" Monica protested, pushing past them.

Penelope reached out to pull Monica into the vehicle, "Let's go, forget about them."

"Really? Kelvin, had all these people watching you?" Monica asked, puzzled.

"It's not his men. It's Grandpa Davis," Penelope explained.

Monica clicked her tongue twice ad complained, "People in wealthy families are complicated."

"Why did you come to the hospital?" Penelope asked, "Were you looking for me?"

"Yeah, you think I came to visit Kelvin? Even though he saved you, what he did to you before... still unforgivable," Monia remarked.

Penelope remained silent.

"Penelope, you're not going soft on him, are you?" Monica questioned, "After this brush with death, are you developing feelings for Kelvin?"

"The truth is... I've had feelings for him for a while now," she confessed.

Since that night, she decided keep the child and when she found out that the stranger that night was Kelvin, she realized... she truly had fallen in love with Kelvin.

Reality was a cruel mistress, and Penelope knew in her heart that a future with him was never destined to be.

Pulling at the corners of her mouth in a bitter smile, Penelope mused, "But how could I love him? In what capacity? As a wife? The daughter of an enemy? Or as the mother of a child that has passed?"

"Penelope," Monica grasped her hands, "the moment Kelvin hurt you was unforgivable for a lifetime."

"I'm not planning to forgive him," she said, bitterly. A vibrant life had slipped away from her grasp, an eternal ache etched in her soul.

Penelope could find it in her heart to forgive Kelvin, but she couldn't extend that forgiveness on behalf of their lost child.

Monica let out a sigh, "I know you're torn. Who wouldn't be swayed by a man willing to lay down his life for you? But Kelvin isn't the right one for you; he's hurt you too deeply."

Monica was a woman of strength and clarity. Her judgment wasn't clouded by sentiment; she genuinely wanted the best for Penelope.
