Chapter 1175: This looks like the view I'd have in my coffin.

GASP!

Penny gasped for air and sat up instinctively. A surge of adrenaline coursed through the very ends of her nerves, making her heart race as if it were making up for its previous slow beat. Her mind felt as though it were sparking, her gaze now clearer than before.

"Hah... hah..." she panted, as if she had run a marathon.

"Penny, are you okay?"

She heard Zoren's voice from beside her but didn't react. All she could do was sit there motionless until she felt her heart slow down.

"Where are they?" she asked under her breath, facing her husband. But instead of focusing on the people who had done this to her, she panicked at the sight of his blood. "Renren! What happened?! Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm alright, but you..." Zoren's eyes veered to her thigh.

His gaze made her turn to where he was looking, only to be reminded of her fight to stay conscious. Her mouth fell open in surprise.

"It's not hurting," she said quietly, tempted to take out the knife just to see if it

would hurt. However, she knew that was the wrong thing to do.

Penny pursed her lips. "Me."
