Chapter 1032: Karma

"Ah... so that explains it." Angel sat on the stairs, holding his phone to his ear. "How did you find this out? I mean, you should've told me about it earlier."

"I just finished a call with my Second Brother before calling you. Apparently, he said he was attacked."

"Is the Second Brother alright?"

"Who do you think he is?"

Angel rolled his eyes and frowned deeply. "Penny, just so you know, there are better ways to answer a question."

"Well, anyway, he's fine, the patient he's looking after is fine, and the person he thought was there to assassinate the leader of the center is alive — fortunately," Penny continued nonchalantly. "Zoren is also fine. Having Mylo around him isn't bad."

"Now that you mention it, are you sure you're pulling out Mylo from looking after Finn Davis?"

"Yugi told me he's got it. So, I respect his decision."

"Yugi Cortez, huh?" Angel shook his head. "Well, if that's his idea, I guess there's no need to question it."

After all, aside from Penny, Yugi had earned everyone's respect. Though Yugi was more focused on Penny's stock trading and other businesses, he was a good tactician. And since this was about Nina's safety, if anyone should focus on it, Yugi was the perfect person.

Penny also explained what Hugo had told her, which gave Angel some clarity about what had happened to Patricia. Now, it made more sense why Patricia had to go through such extremes.

"How is she, by the way?" Penny's voice brought Angel back from his thoughts. "She's not used to these kinds of situations. Is she okay? Or should I send a therapist your way?"

"Even if this hadn't happened, she needs therapy," Angel clicked his tongue, while Penny chuckled lightly. "She's fine... I think."
