Chapter 378 He Destroyed Her Only Chance of Survival

Xavier released Penelope's wrist, shaking his head heavily, and spoke helplessly, "I originally had confidence to keep her for a year, waiting for me to develop a new drug, she might recover."

"But this car accident..."

"Grandpa, what happened with this car accident?!" Everett, who was always calm, composed, and immovable as a mountain, was now as urgent as a child.

Although Kemp didn't have the nerve to ask, he was anxiously waiting for Xavier's answer, fearing that it would be the outcome he dreaded the most.

"This accident severely damaged the foundation of her body, and on top of that... on top of that, she seemed to have some sort of anorexia. Even if I gave it my all, I could only keep her alive for a month at most."

Xavier glanced at Penelope, who had fallen back into sleep, and continued to sigh, "It's hopeless!"

He had always wanted to cure Penelope, he really liked this kind-hearted and sincere child. In fact, he even hoped that she could become his granddaughter-in-law. However, man proposes, God disposes. He never could have imagined that she would encounter so much misfortune, her health deteriorating so terribly.

Countless people hailed him as a miracle doctor, capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing the most severe injuries. However, in this world, there were still some complex diseases that he could not cure.

The only thing he could do was to ensure that she could live her last days with dignity, like a normal person, without having to be bedridden every day, unable to take care of herself. But beyond that, he really couldn't do anything else.

Upon hearing Xavier's words, Kemp staggered violently and fell heavily to the ground.

Beyond redemption...

His Penny was so good, how could it have become irreparable!

He didn't believe it!

But even if he was deceiving himself, refusing to believe Xavier's words, what did it matter? She could never regain her health, let alone live a long and peaceful life.

She originally had the hope of surviving.

Xavier had conditioned her body well, if they were waiting for a new drug to be developed, she could survive.

And she, she shattered the last glimmer of hope for her survival with her own hands!

"Grandpa, what did you say?!"

Everett spoke in disbelief, "Impossible! Grandpa, you are a renowned national doctor, you've saved so many patients from the hands of death, you couldn't possibly fail to cure Penelope!"

"Xavier, please, you had to save Penny!"

Kemp devoutly knelt at Xavier's feet, he, such a proud man, was now willing, for Penelope, to grovel at the feet of others, kowtowing.

As long as she could get better, he was willing to bash his head until it broke. However, even if he bashed himself to death, she still couldn't be worry-free.

"I couldn't save her," Xavier admitted truthfully.

Just as Kemp was about to plead with Xavier again, he looked up and saw Ethan, dressed in a patient's gown, standing at the door of the ward.

Clearly, Ethan had been here for a while, the door to the ward was wide open, he could clearly see the situation inside the ward, and could hear their conversations.

Ethan's lips were tightly pressed together, his tears silently rolling down.

He didn't dare to think that the mother who had promised to always be with her had fallen so seriously ill. Even Xavier couldn't save her.

The reason she suddenly fell so ill was because he had harmed her.

If he hadn't followed Uncle Kemp away, his mother wouldn't have been hit by a car trying to save him. It was he who harmed his mother.

He caused his mother to be so ill that she couldn't live for many more days!

Not only was he a fool and a cripple, but he was also a menace to others.

He hurt his beloved mother.

"Ethan?!"

Seeing Ethan in this state, Kemp felt increasingly guilty and heartbroken. Everett also rushed to the door, looking at him with a worried expression, "Ethan..."

Ethan moved his lips, he wanted to ask Everett, Kemp, and Xavier, his mother, was she really not going to live much longer? But he suddenly found that he couldn't speak.

It seemed as though extreme grief had suddenly choked his throat, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a sound.

Later, he half-lowered his eyelids, not wanting to speak at all.

This kind of harmful person he was, deserved to become mute!

Everett gently held Ethan's shoulders, "Ethan, you don't need to worry about Penelope, she will be fine! She will definitely get better!"

Ethan didn't lift his head, nor did he speak. He just lowered his head, slowly turned around, dragging his lame leg, limping towards his sickroom, letting his tears flood uncontrollably.

Uncle Everett had lied to him, he had heard it all, her mother, she was not going to get better.

He was about to lose his beloved mother forever, very soon.

Both Everett and Kemp wanted to comfort Ethan, but they both knew that no matter who went to console him, they could not alleviate the grief and despair in his heart.

Perhaps, give him some space, let him have some peace and quiet by himself.

Everett was worried about Penelope's health condition, he really didn't want to leave her even for a step.

But Penelope's stomach had started to hurt frequently, and to better alleviate her pain, a very rare herb was needed.

The climate in Sea City was not suitable for the cultivation of that kind of medicinal herb. Xavier had only planted a small patch of that herb in his castle in Everett, Highburn.

Everett didn't trust others to collect the herbs. He didn't even have time to take a sip of hot water before he hurriedly boarded his private plane, rushing to Highburn to collect the herbs himself.

After Xavier performed acupuncture on Penelope, she finally stopped throwing up everything she ate.

As soon as Xavier and Everett left, Kemp picked up another bowl of rice porridge and carefully fed Penelope.

Penelope had just woken up, her mind still a bit fuzzy, but she didn't want Kemp to worry, so she opened her mouth and drank a small spoonful of rice porridge.

As soon as she took a sip, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable again. However, the churning was not as severe as before. She suppressed the nauseous feeling and didn't allow herself to vomit.

Seeing that Penelope wasn't vomiting blood, Kemp was so overjoyed that his whole body was shaking, his hands barely able to hold the porridge bowl.

"Penny, take a sip of water!"

Kemp joyfully put down the porridge bowl in his hand, then picked up another white porcelain bowl, feeding her a sip of water.

Recently, Lola had been filming during the day and staying in the hospital at night. Zackary, having been pestered by her today, decided to reluctantly visit her in the hospital.

Before he even reached Lola's ward, he had already spotted Penelope, who was several rooms away from her.

And Kemp was, bit by bit, feeding her water.

Ha!

At that moment, Zackary was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched. Kemp, who had been grinding his teeth in hatred for her just a few days ago, had suddenly become smitten with her. This woman was truly formidable!

The way Kemp was carefully attending to her, it was clear how devoted he was to her. This woman, she really had quite a few tricks to hook a man!

Kemp, Everett, the deceased Ralph, his elder brother Dylan, and those unknown cats and dogs...

So many men, this woman could also manage to serve!

She really fucking thought she was a whore that anyone could have!

Unbearable!

"Penelope!"

Zackary kicked open the slightly ajar door of the ward with a force, rushing in with a chill air, "Ha! Even in the hospital, you don't forget to flirt, Penelope, you're really cheap!"
