343 His wife
“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.4
“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.
“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

“Miss, even if you’re his wife, you can’t just do that!” said the doctor, knowing he was the professional here. “We are his medical team, and we know what to do. Please step away”
“Do… you… even… know… why he lost his sight?!” Penny clenched her teeth, seething restrained anger.
With
“Miss Penny…” Benjamin called softly from the side, a bit frightened by Penny’s demeanor. He
had thought she was angry before, but now he realized how wrong he was.
At this moment, Penny was truly angry, barely restraining herself from lashing out at these innocent people.
“Hah.” Penny exhaled heavily as she pulled a cardholder from the back pocket of her jeans. She quickly pulled out something from it and tossed it at the doctor’s feet. “Read it and shut up. If you don’t believe it, check the board list to confirm.”
With that, Penny refocused on Zoren’s I
drips and his temperature. While she busied herself, the doctor cautiously picked up the card she had tossed.
As soon as the doctor saw the medical license, he froze. Curious, the nurses leaned in closer to him to check. Shock spread across their faces as they lifted their eyes to Penny, who was now removing all the drugs they had administered to Zoren. This time, however, they didn’t protest.
“What’s going on?” Benjamin asked, noticing how the medical team was staring at Penny with at mix of shock and admiration. His eyes fell on the card in the doctor’s hand, wondering what kind of license it was.
“Hey, he called to get the doctor’s attention. “What she’s doing is it safe?”
Even though Benjamin had called Penny for help, he hadn’t expected her to meddle with his boss’s medication. He was unsure if what she was doing was right since he didn’t know Penny had a medical license.
The doctor and nurses slowly looked at Benjamin as if they couldn’t understand why he was asking such a stupid question. Wasn’t Penny Zoren’s wife? How could Zoren’s right–hand man not know just how respected this woman was in the medical field?
“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!”
