Chapter 187: Need help
Grace’s mother couldn’t talk yet or move properly with her injuries, but her eyes seemed a lot clearer while watching her daughter and Penny beside her bed.
"The doctor told me that if this continues, my mom can get discharged in a month or so," said Grace with a slight smile. "Penny, thank you and your dad."
Penny smiled. "That’s nothing."
"It’s not nothing." Grace let out a shallow breath. "It’s everything... at least, for me and my mom. Aside from covering the medical expenses, your dad and Mr. Angelo are a great help in getting us help for a new home and government benefits."
She slowly cast her eyes on her mother, catching the latter’s eyes squint a little.
"We’re just glad you’re okay." Penny was relieved to hear that her father had been keeping his word. "You and your mom should focus on this matter for now. Think of the other things later on."
Penny then cast Grace’s mother a look. "Ma’am, don’t worry about anything anymore. You heard Grace. Just focus on recovering, so you can take care of her."
Grace’s mother blinked ever so slowly as a response.
Penny and Grace then looked at each other with a smile.
Ever since that night, Penny had always been there for the mother and daughter. Charles might’ve been helping them with every necessity, but Penny gave them strong emotional support. It made them grateful and less ashamed of getting help from such kind souls.
Penny stayed with them until Hugo called Penny, telling them to go. Hence, Grace offered to walk her out.
Walking to the reception area of the hospital, Grace gazed down at the small girl walking beside her. "Penny, thank you again."
