Chapter 377 He was about to lose his Penny

"Penny!"

Kemp's face turned pale, he reached out, wanting to do something to make her feel a bit better, but he didn't know what he could do.

He could only watch her in agony as she coughed up more and more blood.

"Doctor!" Kemp screamed hysterically. Fearing that his boss might go mad with anxiety, Jaxson went out directly to call the doctor.

The doctor arrived quickly, and after examining Penelope, they sighed and shook their heads.

The doctor had Kemp give Penelope another sip of water. She didn't want to worry everyone, so she cooperatively drank the water.

But as soon as the water touched her lips, she couldn't help but spit it out again.

She vomited so much that her lips were stained a vivid crimson.

Seeing that Penelope couldn't even drink water, the doctor's face grew increasingly grim.

Penelope's stomach was already terribly fragile, unable to take in food. Her body would only deteriorate more severely, and if she couldn't drink water...

How long could a person who had never suffered from any disease last without drinking water!

Even if we could inject her with nutritional fluids and such, those things, unless absolutely necessary, were nowhere near as beneficial to her body as her drinking water and eating normally!

Seeing Penelope in this state, Kemp also knew that it was him who had forced her to eat those things last night.

He regretted not acting sooner, but no matter how much he regretted now, some things had already happened and could not be changed.

"Penny, please, could you take a sip of water?"

Kemp's eyes were a fiery red, like a beast on the brink of extinction. He held a cup of warm water, carefully bringing it to Penelope's lips, "Penny, take a sip, just one sip."

"Kemp, you don't have to feel bad, I'm fine,"

Penelope took the cup from his hand, seemingly to prove she was alright, she took a big gulp of water directly.

Couldn't drink it down.

In her mouth, as soon as something was put in, whether it was water or rice porridge, her stomach would churn like a stormy sea. She could only lie on the edge of the bed, constantly vomiting, her mouth full of the taste of blood.

She really didn't mean to make things difficult for Kemp, nor did she want to upset him, but she had tried very hard and still couldn't manage to do it, to eat and drink normally as usual.

"Penny..."

In Kemp's eyes, there was a deep sorrow. The man who once dominated the business world was now as vulnerable as a baby in swaddling clothes, full of weaknesses.

Seeing the two people in front of him, Jaxson couldn't help but turn his face away, letting out a soft sigh.

He couldn't bear to see his eldest suffering like this any longer. He quietly left the sickroom, standing guard outside the door, always ready for his eldest's call.

"Kemp, I'm sorry, I... I really can't drink anymore."

Having vomited blood several times in succession, Penelope felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making her extremely exhausted. She struggled to lie back down on the bed and spoke softly, "Kemp, you don't need to worry. Maybe, in a few days, I'll be fine. I might just not feel like eating or drinking anything."

Kemp stared fixedly at Penelope, his gaze aching as it shattered inch by inch.

She apologized to him.

She didn't do anything wrong, why should she apologize to him!

The person who should apologize was him!

She was sick, but he still forcibly had people stuff rotten food into her mouth, even stuffing fish into her mouth...

To make her relive that unbearable nightmare in the dungeon, he was simply deserving of the worst punishment!

He made such a big mistake, yet when she saw him worried, she comforted him, saying she would be fine in a few days.

But how many days could she have left?!

Given her physical condition, if she didn't eat or drink, she wouldn't have lasted for more than a few days!

Kemp wanted to say, "Penny, please, just take a sip of water, have a spoonful of rice porridge."

But this, he dared not say.

He was afraid that she would force herself to eat in order not to upset him. Unable to keep the food down, she would end up vomiting even more blood.

He could only, softly utter her name, as if, he wanted to keep her heart, her soul, forever by his side.

"Kemp, it's really good that you could regain your memory."

Penelope didn't want to see Kemp so upset, she laughed with a radiant smile, trying hard not to let so much sadness exist between them.

"I had always been particularly worried that Ethan would be left alone and helpless after I left. A few days ago, Mr. Murray said he would take care of Ethan, which reassured me. Now it's even better, you're back. Ethan will definitely be very happy."

Everett was a reliable person, but the one Ethan relied on the most was still Kemp. This time, she could truly leave with peace of mind.

"Penny, I forbid you to speak like this again! You won't be in trouble, I won't let anything happen to you!"

Penelope didn't like arguing with others, and she didn't argue with Kemp either. She continued to change the subject, "Kemp, Ethan is really a sensible child. I'm not boasting about my own child, but I think he is much smarter than his peers."

No one knew how smart Ethan was better than Kemp.

In the dungeon, when he was teaching Ethan to count and read, he had marveled at Ethan's almost supernatural intelligence.

He was very proud, because Ethan was the child he had brought up single-handedly.

"Yeah, Ethan was really smart. Many children, at the age of two, couldn't even speak clearly. Some could only call out 'mom' and 'dad'. But Ethan, at the age of two, could already count to a hundred and even do simple addition and subtraction."

Suddenly regaining his memory, Kemp had so many things he wanted to say to Penelope, about his regrets, about his nostalgia for those years in the dungeon.

Those four years in the dungeon were indeed tough for him, but equally, they were also the warmest times of his life.

Kemp kept talking to Penelope, only to find that she had already fallen into a deep sleep after he had only said a few words.

It seemed that she could no longer control herself, even if she wanted to stay awake, she still couldn't resist falling into a deep sleep.

In Kemp's clear and moist eyes, a dense fog covered them in an instant, and in a blink of an eye, the heavy fog turned into dew pearls, silently rolling down.

What to do, it seemed like he was going to lose his Penny forever...

Everett had just arrived in Highburn when he received news from his bodyguard in Sea City that something had happened to Penelope.

He left Dawson there to handle things and hurried back as fast as he could.

He was afraid that something might happen to Penelope, so he took Xavier directly to the hospital.

Kemp also knew how skilled Xavier was in medicine, especially after hearing from Penelope that she had almost died last time, and it was him who had saved her. Seeing him arrive, a strong sense of hope immediately rose in his heart.

Xavier had saved her once, this time, he surely could turn her danger into safety!

Seeing Xavier taking Penelope's pulse for a long time without speaking, both Everett and Kemp became anxious. They couldn't help but speak up.

"Grandpa, how was Penelope?"

"Xavier, how was she?"
