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

Chapter 478: Be it your siblings or husband

"Hic! Penny..." Slater hiccupped, watching his sister get stitched up because of him. "Huhuhu! Why would you do that?! Do you know how dangerous that was?!"

Penny chuckled as her brother dramatically cried his heart out. She glanced at the doctor, who was busy stitching her cut.

"All done," said the doctor with a sigh, noting Penny's nonchalant reaction. "Miss, I'll prescribe you some pain relievers and medicine. Are you sure you're okay?" Penny nodded. "I'm fine," she said, turning her gaze back to Slater. "I'm relieved." The doctor looked between the two of them, then smiled meekly before bowing slightly. "I'll be back," she said before leaving the room.

The moment the doctor left, Slater and James rushed to Penny's side. Slater took the stool the doctor had sat on while James stood by the bed.

"Huhuhu!" Slater cried, staring at her palm. "It looks horrible and painful!"

"I'm fine." Penny chuckled as if she hadn't just gotten stitches. "Third Brother, you're not the one who got stitched, so stop crying." freewebnovel.com

"How can I? It should've been me, not you! Why would you stop the knife with your bare hand? Do you think you're some kind of superhero?!" he huffed, his face red from crying and the overwhelming worry swelling in his chest. "I'm the big brother! You didn't have to do all that!!"

Penny sighed, watching him with a gentle smile. She reached out and patted his

arm.

"Third Brother, if it had been anyone else, I wouldn't have jumped into action," she said softly. "But it was you, and I'm glad I did. This cut isn't nearly as painful as it would've been to see you hurt."

Slater hiccupped, his tears streaming down his face.

"I'm just relieved we're both okay," she added, but Slater immediately launched into another lecture.

"''Both okay'?! We're both alive, sure, but you're definitely not okay!" he cried before suddenly hugging her, using her clothes as a tissue. But then he noticed the bloodstains on her clothes, and his crying intensified.
