Chapter 181 The Absurd Drama
But he couldn't decide what Nancy would do. Colin contemplated how to prevent Abbey from being present the next day.
Abbey, coming from a humble background, always displayed caution and sensitivity around him.
Colin racked his brain but failed to come up with a good solution.
Before he knew it, the next day arrived.
Penny woke up from the couch. Her fever had subsided but her throat still felt uncomfortable.
As she stood up to pour herself a cup of warm water, she couldn't help but reflect on the events of the previous night, letting out a sigh.
Was misfortune destined to follow her this year?
Then she thought about Nancy and realized that she had to visit her today.
But just as she was about to pick up the cup, the doorbell interrupted her thoughts.
To her surprise, it was Abbey.
Abbey entered the room and brought a light breakfast.
She felt relieved seeing Penny's improved complexion.
"You had a high fever last night. This is the porridge I cooked this morning. Have some," Abbey said, glancing around the room.
She hadn't seen Penny's husband around.
"Penny, is your husband busy with work? You were so sick last night, and he didn't come to take care of you," she commented.
Penny knew she had to address this issue soon. She couldn't let people keep questioning her like this.
She needed to find someone who could pose as her husband.
Thankfully, Sandra, with her extensive network, might know a few suitable candidates.
But now, Penny had no choice but to reply, "Well, he has a demanding job and often travels."
Abbey didn't say much, instructing Penny to drink the porridge instead.
