Chapter 514: Is she really that important to you?

[SUNRISE MEDICAL CENTER]

[To: Penny

Where are you?]

Seated on the hospital bed, Dean held his phone on his lap, staring at the message he had sent to Penny. His brows raised slightly when he saw the message marked as "read." However, there was no indication of her typing or responding. He waited five minutes, but nothing came.

Dean clenched his teeth, grinding them as his grip on the phone tightened, his hand trembling. His jaw set as he took a deep breath, trying to suppress the urge to throw the phone. But in the end...

The phone broke into three pieces, the screen shattering against the wall. Dean gazed at the broken device, unfazed, as someone rushed into the room to check on the noise.

"Director," his assistant called, glancing at the shattered phone on the floor. She adjusted her glasses, shifting her gaze back to him. "I'll get you a new one today."

"Where is she?" he muttered under his breath. "I've been trying to contact her, and she hasn't responded once."

The assistant kept her eyes down. "Director, I don't think you should be focusing on Miss Penelope right now. William Pierson is making his move. He's targeting Zoren Pierson this time."
