Chapter 791: What a relief?
Thud!
For a moment, everyone’s eyes fell on the woman who had been pushed down and landed on the floor with a thud. Deep lines appeared between their brows as they stared at Penny, a face too unfamiliar to most of them.
"Penny?" Belle whispered to herself, pushing herself up slightly, worry immediately shining in her eyes, confused by this sudden turn of events.
Dean, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes, his face twisting. ’What is this woman doing now?’ he wondered, veins in his forehead protruding. ’Wasn’t she trying to hide? Why is she here, taking all the spotlight?’
Dean slowly lifted his gaze to Mildred and then at the rest of the kitchen crew. He knew Penny well enough to guess the reason. ’It must be because of Mildred.’Penny was like this, after all—when someone she cared about was in trouble, she would always step in.
’This woman...’ he pinched the bridge of his nose, massaging his brows as he considered what to do. ’Why can’t she just live a normal, peaceful life?’
Meanwhile, Zoren raised an eyebrow and gazed down at the damsel in distress on the floor. He cautiously reached for his IV and cast a look at the nurse.
"Take it off," he whispered, making the nurse furrow her brows. "Now."
"But—" The nurse’s breath hitched when Zoren’s eyes suddenly lit up dangerously. "Ye—yes."
As quietly as she could, the nurse carefully stopped the IV and removed it. She quickly pressed a cotton ball to the site, but Zoren took it from her, waving her away impatiently.
