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

Chapter 485: I was a victim too!

Penny opened and closed her mouth. However, her attempts to break the ice and lighten up the mood were quickly shunned. Hence, she ended up zipping her mouth.

The silence in the ward was unmistakable, and neither of the Bennet brothers nor Zoren seemed to have planned to break it. Penny cast Slater a look, wondering where his complaints and rude retorts had gone. She was only saved from this stifling silence when her parents and Haines arrived.

"Oh, my Penny!" Allison's worried voice pierced through the thick silence, almost making Penny weep. "My baby, are you okay?"

"Mom..." Penny quickly welcomed her mother's embrace, tears welling in her eyes.

"Penny."

She peeked at the person standing beside her mother and reached out. "Dad."

"Oh, my goodness!" Charles's face was ashen as he took both his wife and princess into his arms. His touch was cold, and his hand was still a little shaky and sweaty. He was shaken, but it was clear he didn't want to show it, especially with his wife already in tears of worry.

"Are you okay?" asked Charles as he released the two of them.

Penny managed a small smile and nodded. "Fortunately."

"My princess." Charles stroked her head, sighing in relief that she was fine. But when he looked away from her and his eyes landed on his third son, Slater flinched.

"Dad!" Slater jumped away from his seat and hid behind Zoren, clasping the back of his chair, eyes wide at his father. "Dad, I'm sorry, okay?! I didn't mean for her to get hurt-I was a victim too!"
