Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Sleeping beauty

Five years ago, five days before the date of the marriage registry...

Penny grinned in satisfaction, staring at herself in the mirror attached to the back of the locker. She was wearing a nurse's uniform. Why? Because she had just shrugged off some hoodlums she'd beaten after they tried to take the money she won from their bet.

"This is why nurses always look pretty," she muttered, gently smoothening the uniform that wasn't hers with her palms. "I should've just chosen to become a nurse. Their uniforms make me look like an angel."

Penny reached for the ID and wore it to complete her look. Once she was ready, she looked around the locker room before tiptoeing her way out. She slowly peeked through the door, looking left and right, before jumping into the hallway.

She casually smiled at the patients and staff she passed by. However, when she saw the person at the end of the hallway, she turned around immediately.

Penny's steps halted when she heard the man behind her yell. Seeing the few people in the hallway, she kept moving.

"Hey, you!"
