Chapter 658: Vacation in hell

Days had passed without any conditions for Penny and Zoren, who were overstaying at the Bennet Mansion. Even when Penny repeatedly told her parents she was fine, both Charles and Allison were stubborn and wanted her to stay until she got "their" clean health bill.

"Dad... Uncle Haines... you didn't have to walk me out like this." Penny let out a deep exhale as she stood in front of her father and uncle outside the front door. "I'm okay. I've been okay — better, I mean."

"I know, but I don't think your father is okay." Haines sighed as the two of them shifted their eyes in Charles's direction.

"Dad..." Penny walked over to Charles, hugging him sweetly. "Why are you crying? If you want to visit me, my husband's home is only an hour away. My office is just a little over that time."

Charles dramatically wiped his eyes with his handkerchief. "Don't mind me, my princess. It's just that your father is getting old."

"..." Penny pressed her lips together as she smiled, hugging Charles even tighter. Glancing at Haines, the latter simply shook his head mildly.

It wasn't like Penny wouldn't come home, and it wasn't the first time she was leaving. However, Charles was still tearing up. Surely, her father was getting older and a lot more emotional.

"It's okay, my princess. I'm alright." Charles gently pushed her away, offering her a reassuring nod. "Don't mind your dad. Just go."

Penny hummed, a little reluctant to leave. She could postpone it. After all, she still had a full day before going back to her office. However, staying longer would only make Charles even sadder. Moreover, he had already cried. So... it was rude to waste her father's tears, right?
