Chapter 532 So You Had Your Reasons?

His topics were all over the place, leaving Penelope kinda lost.

Hand?

What was about her hand?

When Penelope glanced down, Kelvin had already stepped up and grabbed her hand.

"You been using that ointment I gave you? Why's the scab still there?"

"I've been using it every day," Penelope replied.

But the butler had given it to her on the sly.

How did Kelvin know?

Would he get mad at the butler?

"The ointment's mine," Penelope quickly said, "No one else is involved!"

The more cautious she was, the more Kelvin felt bad for her.

He held her hand tight and led her outside.

"You..." Penelope tried to pull away, but he just held on tighter.

In the living room, the lights were bright.

Kelvin found the first aid kit and carefully reapplied the medicine for her.

Penelope felt super uncomfortable, but he was really focused. His hair fell over his forehead, making him look kinda tender.

Gentle Kelvin, in a surprising twist, was more dangerous than when he was all riled up!

Penelope's fingers were still pretty messed up. For days, she couldn't hold a paintbrush or type on a keyboard, making everything a pain.

But she didn't say anything. At work, she hid it, pretending everything was fine, not wanting Monica and Tina to find out.

Kelvin asked, "Does it hurt? Need me to be gentler?"

Penelope frowned.
