Chapter 628: Saving me from me

If there was one thing Hugo would always tell Penny in their previous life, it was for her to take care of herself. He wouldn't say it in a gentle tone; he would say it indifferently as if it were something he would say in passing.

But hearing him say those exact words out of frustration brought guilt into her heart.

'I guess I deserve the scolding,' she thought, sighing. 'Fine, I'll just take it quietly and obediently.'

That was what Penny told herself upon sensing the concern in Hugo's eyes. However, Hugo didn't stop and continued on and on, as if he were rapping. It took her a lot of patience to say, 'Now this scolding is too much!'

"I understand," she murmured, trying her best to sound polite. "I get it now. I was wrong. There are so many things I could've done. This will not happen next time, I promise!"

Hugo narrowed his eyes, assessing the look on her face.

Meanwhile, Penny sneaked a glance at Zoren under the scrutinizing gaze of her second brother. Zoren had been quiet throughout; he hadn't said a word since they arrived at the hospital. Even when he was getting his hand stitched, he kept his mouth sealed.

All he did was stare at her, and it wasn't a look of love or admiration. It was a look as if he were there, but at the same time, he wasn't there at all.

When she realized that she wouldn't be able to read her husband's thoughts, she slowly faced Hugo. "Second Brother, I understand what I did now, but can you please give me and my husband some time to talk?"
