Chapter 479: The question was, how did he get here so fast?

"Don't hurt yourself trying to protect others. Even if that person is your brother... or your husband."

Penny's face quickly turned ashen. Slater, on the other hand, frowned deeply, while James simply tilted his head.

"Uh... who are you?" James blurted out, assuming they were in the wrong room or that this guy was in the wrong ward.

"I am..."

"No one!" Slater chimed in before Zoren could even brag about who he was. "He is no one but an unwanted person trying to squeeze into someone else's home. Like a pest... of some sort."

"Uh... Slater," James leaned closer and whispered, "I don't think that's what you're supposed to say to someone. It's rude."

Slater smirked and cast Zoren a dismissive look. "Even cockroaches are hard to control, so let him be," he shrugged and wheeled Penny inside the ward. He then cast James a look. "Manager James, you should go and make sure this place is heavily guarded. I don't want any more people coming here and claiming they are family."

"Huh?"

"Just go." Slater puckered his lips, pointing at the door. "Leave."

For a moment, James was a little speechless, darting his eyes between Slater, Penny, and the unknown man inside. Since Slater was obviously giving the man some attitude, he quickly guessed this man was probably Penny's boyfriend-or maybe a suitor on the way to claiming the title.

"Then I'll be outside," said James with slightly raised hands. 'I don't want to get involved.'

The last time James remembered someone pursuing Penny was Ray. The fans that went after Penny were the least of his concerns, but rather how her brother threatened everyone who laid their eyes on their sister afterward. Penny might not know this, but James had seen plenty, especially from Hugo and the basketball team.
