168 Not all parents deserve to be parents
Looking at the small house where she saw Grace stopped, a shallow breath slipped past Penny's nostrils.
'Grace is such a horrible liar,' she commented in her heart. Why lie about her childhood? It didn't seem like her mother left her be.'
It was an irony that when Penny was still a free woman, she didn't have people whom she could. call her friends. Even her colleagues weren't her friends. But when she got into prison, somehow, she was able to call people her friends some, even family, like Grace.
Grace was akin to her sister; they were cellmates halfway through Penny's sentence.
And in a place like the maximum prison, they could either talk to each other or fight or get thrown into solitary confinement.
Aside from Grace's sentence, Penny knew a thing or two about Grace. One of them was that Grace was abandoned by her mother, and then her father abused her. He abused her so much that Grace could only fight back and eventually end her father.
'It's cruel, but... I don't want her to end like that,' Penny sighed once more, telling herself she was being foolish. Not because Penny was lucky and was blessed to redo everything, doesn't mean she could save everyone. However, she still wanted to try at least once.
"Penny?"
Penny snapped out of her thoughts and looked back at her second brother. "There's nothing. Second Brother. I just saw someone, and I thought I knew her.
"Oh." Hugo rocked his head in understanding. "Okay. Let's go back?"
"Mhm."
As they turned, Hugo carefully walked a step closer beside her. “Penny, it's not good for you to wander off to places you're not familiar with. If I didn't see you, everyone would be worried." "Hehe. Sorry!" Penny averted the mild scolding with a sweet smile. It's just that when I'm alone, I feel like older than everyone else."
It wasn't like Penny couldn't go home alone. Even if she got lost here, she knew how to find her. way home. But then again, in everyone's eyes, she was an innocent thirteen-year-old in the body. of a nine- year-old.
How frustrating!
