Chapter 392 Zack, did it hurt?

"Cornelia, rest assured, I will definitely get to the bottom of what happened that year!"

Having received Jayden's promise, a smile finally appeared on Cornelia's little face.

Seeing Dylan still standing in the ward, Jayden gave him a cold glare. Understanding the message, he quickly got lost and went to investigate the matter of that year.

Dylan's subordinates were highly efficient. The events of the past were too long ago, the love and hate between Penelope, Lola, and Zackary were too complex to be clarified in a short time. However, investigating the recent events couldn't be easier.

Soon, Cornelia had already received quite a few messages that were sent back.

Ethan had severe Mediterranean anemia and needed a million for surgery, but Zackary, his biological father, was unwilling to pay this million.

Zackary repeatedly humiliated Penelope with money.

Even, they forced her to drink with some old men.

The kidnapper had abducted Lola and Ethan. To save Lola, he chose without hesitation to let the kidnapper push Ethan into the abyss.

It was then that Ethan became a cripple.

Had it not been for the fortunate encounter with Xavier, Ethan would have already died alone under the cliff by now.

***

The more Cornelia read the messages that were sent back, the angrier she became. She didn't even care that Zackary was still sick, she was so angry that she kicked him directly.

Cornelia was trembling with anger, how on earth did she give birth to such a scoundrel of a son!

Jerk!

If I had known that adorable little Zack would grow up to be such a psychologically twisted freak, I would rather have killed him earlier!

Cornelia was also angry with herself. If she had known about Ethan earlier and paid more attention to Penelope, they, mother and son, wouldn't have had to suffer so much injustice.

Cornelia sat by the bed, looking at Zackary who was lying on the bed with a complex gaze.

Although the truth about everything that happened four or five years ago hadn't been fully uncovered by Jayden and Dylan yet, she was almost certain that Penelope was innocent back then.

Moreover, she didn't believe that during those four years when Penelope lost contact with Zackary, she was off enjoying herself with other men.

Penelope, what exactly happened in those four years?

Cornelia was so angry that she wanted to smack Zackary again, but seeing her son looking so pitifully sick, she felt a pang of heartache.

He was so sick, yet he kept calling Penelope's name. It was clear, he really, really liked her.

Cornelia gently grasped Zackary's hand, murmuring softly in her heart, "Zack, if Penelope is truly innocent, if Penelope has never hurt you, yet you've hurt her time and time again, when the truth comes out, will it hurt you?"

If Penelope was still the daughter of Chelsea and Dalton, then how was she supposed to face her best friend in this life, Chelsea?!

Kemp was about to feed Penelope some porridge when his cell phone rang.

Seeing that it was Jaxson who was calling, he gently covered Penelope with a blanket, picked up his phone, and quickly walked out.

"Boss, the tasks you assigned have all been arranged."

"Mm-hmm."

"Boss, I deliberately arranged to meet Lola in three days. What should we do then?"

"No need to negotiate with her, just give her a beating first." After saying this, Kemp coldly hung up the phone.

Yes, the person who called Lola was not the one who had once guarded Kemp and Penelope in the dungeon, but was someone Jaxson had deliberately ordered to call her.

After Kemp regained his memory, he began to search for the people who had looked after them years ago. However, those people seemed to have vanished into thin air, making it as difficult as climbing to the sky to find them.

However, he believed that Lola had a way to contact those people.

He had someone call Lola just now. She would surely harbor resentment towards Ralph's confidant. When the time came, they would fight amongst themselves, and he wouldn't have to lift a finger, he could just reap the benefits of their conflict.

He was certain that someone had filmed the video of Lola tormenting him and Penelope back then. When they turned on each other and their relationship completely collapsed, that person would surely release the video from that year for revenge, making it impossible for her to recover!

He waited to see, Lola was utterly disgraced, completely messed up, even the gods couldn't save her!

However, he wasn't in such a hurry to deal with Lola, he was going to deal with Pennie first!

Penelope had just woken up not long ago, but as soon as Kemp left, she almost fell asleep again.

He walked in and gently called her, only then did she tiredly open her eyes.

"Ethan..."

Penelope had been terribly worried, not having seen Ethan. Even though Kemp had said that he was just running a fever and it was nothing serious, she couldn't feel at ease until she saw him safe and sound with her own eyes.

"Kemp, has Ethan woken up? I want to go see him."

"Penny, you eat something first," said Kemp, as he picked up the porcelain bowl and carefully fed Penelope some porridge.

Always being fed by others like this, Penelope felt quite awkward. She didn't want to always trouble him. She spoke softly, "Kemp, I can drink by myself."

Kemp didn't argue with Penelope. However, as soon as she picked up the porcelain bowl, her hand uncontrollably trembled. The bowl of porridge in her hand slipped weakly to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Penelope looked at her own hand in disbelief. Her left hand, under Xavier's treatment, had clearly improved a lot. Not to mention holding a bowl of porridge, even holding a pot of vegetables wouldn't be much of a problem.

But just now...

Penelope tried her right hand, attempting to grasp a glass full of water on the bedside table next to her, but she couldn't.

Kemp stared intently at the shattered porridge bowl on the ground, and in an instant, his eyes welled up with tears again.

His Penny, now, couldn't even lift a bowl of porridge. She wasn't this weak before. On that dating reality show, she could still carry a big bag of red apples, she could still go fishing in the pond.

And now?

Because of him, her body was completely ruined.

"Penny, I'm going to get another bowl of porridge," Kemp didn't want Penelope to see the pain in his eyes, he quickly turned around and got her another bowl of rice porridge.

Having spent four years with Kemp, Penelope knew by his expression just now, what he was thinking.

She didn't want him to be too upset, so she spoke in a deliberately cheerful tone, "Kemp, Xavier has already prepared medicine for me. After taking the medicine Xavier brought, I will get better soon!"

To prove that her health was improving, she took several hearty sips of the porridge when he fed her.

However, before she could finish half a bowl of porridge, she started feeling nauseous again. She could only cover her mouth and stop drinking.

Kemp turned his face away in haste, a tear silently rolling down from the corner of his eye.

He was about to lose his Penny. What should he do to make his Penny live a long life?

Kemp wanted to try feeding Penelope more rice porridge, but he was afraid that forcing her to drink might cause her to vomit blood again. So, he helped her out of bed and took her to Ethan's room next door.

As soon as she saw Ethan, Penelope noticed something was off about him.
