"Miss Penny!" Benjamin stopped pacing in the entryway of the mansion when he saw Penny rushing inside. He hurried toward her but halted when he noticed she was with someone. However, he quickly refocused on Penny, his concern overriding any curiosity about her companion.
The moment their eyes met, his own filled with tears, on the verge of spilling. "Miss Penny..." he whimpered. "He said... everything’s black—he can’t see at all, and his fever is high enough to break the thermometer! What am I going to do?"
Penny’s breath caught in her throat, and her eyes widened. "Where is he?"
"In his room. The doctors put him to sleep."
"Take me to him."
"Y—yes."
With that, Benjamin hurriedly led Penny toward the stairs. As they ascended, they stopped when Hugo spoke.
"Penny," Hugo called, making his sister and Benjamin look back at him. "I’ll wait for you here."
Penny pursed her lips and nodded. "I’ll come down later."
"Take your time." Hugo offered a reassuring smile. "Don’t worry about me."
"Thank you," she whispered softly.
With that, she turned back to Benjamin and hurried after him. When they reached the second floor and the master’s bedroom, Penny paused at the door. Her eyes fell on the man lying on the bed, noting the IV drip attached to him. A few nurses and a doctor were inside, still monitoring Zoren’s temperature. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Miss Penny—" Benjamin began, but Penny suddenly walked past him.
The nurses and the doctor looked up as she rushed inside. Penny didn’t hesitate, immediately checking the IV bag hanging beside the bed.
"Tsk." Penny clicked her tongue and followed the tube. Without a moment’s hesitation, she pulled it out.
"Miss! What do you think you’re doing?!" the doctor gasped in shock and disbelief. "Sir Vitt, why are you letting her do this? Who is she?!"
Benjamin, speechless at Penny’s actions, opened his mouth. But before he could say anything, Penny spoke sharply.
"His wife." She stopped only to cast the doctor and nurses a sharp, deadly look that made them freeze in their tracks. "I am Zoren Pierson’s wife."
The medical team held their breath, staring at her eyes, which glinted dangerously, as if she might send them to heaven if they spoke another word. When the doctor glanced at Zoren and recovered from his shock, he mustered the courage to speak.
"What are you doing?!" Penny roared at them before the medical team could respond to Benjamin. "I said, get me an ice pack — no, fill his tub with ice until he’s freezing. His temperature is rising again — go!"
"Y—yes!" the doctor stuttered, but he quickly composed himself. He and the nurses rushed to follow her orders, knowing this was an emergency.
As the medical team paged the rest of the next shift team and hurried to prepare the ice bath, Benjamin stood there, stunned. He watched Penny sit beside Zoren and place her hand on his forehead, her expression turning bitter.
"Miss Penny... I..." Benjamin called nervously. "What... what’s going on?"
"He’s dying. That’s what’s going on," Penny hissed as she checked the medications, looking for one that might help. "Don’t get in the way, Mr. Vitt... or I’ll kill you first."
Benjamin’s entire body shuddered as he darted his eyes between Penny and Zoren. "Miss Penny, I think... I think we should take him to the emergency room."
"For what?" Penny glared at him. "So his enemies can finish the job? Not a chance, Mr. Vitt. Renren is working hard to pretend he’s fine, and we’re not going to waste that effort. I’ll treat him."
With that, Penny grabbed a small bottle and a new syringe. She didn’t say another word. The medical team returned shortly, helping Penny as they carried Zoren to the tub full of ice.
As for Benjamin, all he could do was stand there like a statue, watching everything unfold under Penny’s orders.
