Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 699: Technically your fault

[Green Valley General Hospital]

As soon as Penny heard the news, she rushed to the hospital with Zoren. It was strange for her to rush to two different hospitals for her family.

"Second Brother-" Penny's breath hitched as she slid the door open, only to see Hugo seated on the edge of the bed, massaging his shoulder.

For a moment, Penny studied her Second Brother until Hugo snapped his eyes in her direction.

"Uh... Penny...?"

"Second Brother," she whispered, rushing to him and hugging him without a second thought.

Hugo winced a little but didn't complain the moment he felt her body trembling. He placed a hand on her back slowly, snapping his eyes at Zoren, who was approaching them from behind her. Another deep sigh escaped him as soon as his eyes met Zoren's.

Slowly, she turned her head, and her eyes landed on the other bed across the room. It was separated by a partition, so she hadn't noticed it earlier.

"You mean... that guy from the bar..." she trailed off, her brows rising. "... is in there?"

Hugo nodded, now wearing a patient's gown, having been officially admitted as a patient. He glanced at the partition and then back at Penny.
