Chapter 626: Over their dead bodies.

Meanwhile, inside the ward...

"Huhu. Penny! Look at your head!" Lily cried, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Penny's injuries. "That trash! I will never let him get away with this!"

"I'll get him beaten up!" Ginnie exclaimed, getting angrier the more she looked at Penny's face. She ground her teeth, her eyes fixed on the swollen part of Penny's jaw. "Look at you! Ahh!! I'm so upset!"

Ginnie then quickly hugged Penny's side, unable to stop her eyes from tearing up. Now, there were three of them crying: Lily, Nina, and Ginnie. Grace hadn't arrived yet.

Penny let out an awkward laugh, glancing at her friends, who were crying as if she were dying. It was a strange feeling. Even though she had known these women and her relationship with them - thanks to the sober Penny - it still felt peculiar.

How could Penny not find it strange?

Back in prison, she would fight every day. Her injuries hadn't even come close to the ones she had inflicted tonight. There were times during her early days in prison when her face would be so swollen she couldn't open her eyes, or her body would be in so much pain that she couldn't even pee on her own.

Right now, she only needed a small stitch at the back of her head, had a few bruises, and a slightly swollen cheek. They were too mild compared to the injuries she was used to. Yet, these ladies were already crying their hearts out.

'In a way, even though I don't really know them...' the corners of Penny's lips turned up as she looked at the women seated around her bed. '... it's not bad at all.'

Or rather, their genuine care and worry warmed her heart.
