Chapter 314 An Unexpected Encounter at the Hospital

Kelvin leaned in, his handsome face inches from hers.

"Ah!"

Penelope jolted awake, sitting up in bed with a scream.

She was gasping for air, her eyes unfocused, and drenched in sweat like she'd just been pulled from a pool.

Her hair clung to her face, and her back was soaked.

She stared blankly at her surroundings for a moment before shaking off the fog and coming back to reality.

This was the house she'd lived in for four years.

That peaceful little city.

She hadn't gone back to LA, hadn't seen Kelvin, and no one knew she was alive!

It was just a dream!

Penelope closed her eyes, swallowed, and wiped the sweat from her face.

"Thank goodness it was just a dream..." she muttered, "False alarm."

Ruby knocked on the door. "Penelope, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Penelope called back, getting out of bed. "How's Lucy?"

"She's still coughing, and the medicine isn't helping. Plus, her gums are bleeding."

Penelope's heart sank. She rushed to Lucy's room.

Lucy was sitting on the bed, her little face flushed, coughing non-stop.

She held a tissue to her mouth, which quickly turned red with blood.

"Mommy, I'm bleeding," she said, "My mouth is swollen."

"Lucy, let me see."

Penelope examined her gums, which were red and bleeding.

What was going on?

"We need to go to the hospital," Penelope said, dressing Lucy quickly. "This is serious."

Ruby nodded. "Okay, I'll go with you."
