Chapter 590: Zoren, where were you in my first life?

"Penny!"

Penny jolted at the call, almost losing her grip. Before she knew it, a hand gripped her shoulder tightly and pulled her back.

"Oh, my goodness!" Her eyes widened as she looked up at the person who had startled her and almost made her fall. "Husband, what are you doing?"

"That's what I want to ask you," he responded, his breath jagged. "What do you think you're doing?"

Penny furrowed her brows. "I want to sit down."

"You're climbing the railing."

"Sit on the railing," she clarified. "Did you think I was jumping?"

Penny and Zoren stared at each other in momentary silence. After a beat, a hushed laugh escaped her.

"Pffft—" she chuckled, covering her mouth with the back of her hand. Zoren, on the other hand, released her shoulder and heaved a sigh of relief.

"You're not jumping?" he asked, and she nodded. "But the railing is dangerous."

"It's not dangerous, duh?" Penny smacked her lips. "But if you're worried, then I won't sit on it."

Penny slowly turned, resting her arms on the railing. "Husband, I'm someone who barely dodged a death sentence," she hummed, inhaling a fresh breath. "So why would I kill myself? For the past few months, I dreaded every second that passed because it meant I was closer to my death."

"I cherish my life. It's just not obvious." The corner of her mouth hooked up, letting the wind kiss her face and blow through her hair.

Zoren carefully walked beside her, his eyes swirling with curiosity. "Why do you keep saying that?"

"Because it's the truth," she said without hesitation, casting him a quick look. "Surprising?"

"It would be a lie to say it's not."

"Hehe." A chuckle escaped her as she gazed at the vast expanse ahead. "Is that land still yours?"

Zoren glanced ahead and nodded. "It is."
