Chapter 399 Penelope, would you hug me, please?

Zackary, a person with such a great physique, suddenly fainted, which really gave Penelope quite a scare.

She thought, he must be playing some kind of self-harm trick again.

She rose, leaning on the edge of the sofa, and walked somewhat laboriously towards him, only to find that his face was terrifyingly red.

She instinctively reached out and touched his forehead. It was so hot!

A frown creased Penelope's brow as she frantically searched for a thermometer, then began to take his temperature.

41.8.

Seeing the temperature on the thermometer, Penelope's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. How could he have a fever like this?!

You still drink after being burnt like this, is risking your life that interesting?!

Penelope was so angry that she wanted to kick Zackary, and she really did.

Who would have known, as soon as her foot landed on him, he immediately grabbed her foot.

She was unprepared, her body fell heavily, landing directly on top of him.

"Penelope..."

Zackary held Penelope tightly, murmuring softly, "Penelope, don't go, Penelope..."

Penelope's heart softened, her throat tightening as she listened to his pitiful voice and looked at his frail figure. She almost couldn't resist the urge to hold him tightly.

Thinking of all the good things he had done for her, Penelope reached out and slapped herself hard, trying to keep herself awake.

The landscape is easy to change, but the nature is hard to move. Even if he suddenly had a whim and wanted to be nice to her, this kindness would fade away like fireworks.

"Mr. Spencer, let go of me!"

After hearing Penelope's words, Zackary not only didn't let her go, but held her even tighter, and was even more mischievous towards her.

Penelope was so angry that her jaw hurt from clenching her teeth. This person, couldn't even be honest about being sick.

At that moment, she really didn't have the strength to fight with him anymore. She bit his hand directly, and only then did the force he exerted on her slightly lessen.

She struggled to get up from the ground, resignedly searching for fever-reducing medicine in the medicine box for him.

After drinking alcohol, it's best not to take fever-reducing medicine immediately. However, if the fever is severe, it's necessary to lower the temperature, and there are still a few types of fever-reducing medicine that can be taken.

Penelope found a packet of medicine, dissolved it in warm water, and then brought the cup to Zackary's lips for him to drink.

"Mr. Spencer, take your medicine and get out of here as soon as possible!"

"I didn't take the medicine... I wanted to find Penelope..."

It was said that Zackary got himself into this mess, it was truly his own doing.

Cornelia was skilled in medicine, but even the most advanced medical skills couldn't combat a patient who completely refused to cooperate with the treatment.

She prepared medicine for him, but he didn't take a single bite. It would be strange if his illness got better!

"Just die from the illness!"

Seeing that the medicine couldn't be fed at all, Penelope was so angry that she really wanted to let Zackary fend for himself.

She put the cup aside in a huff, too lazy to bother with him, planning to return to her own room, out of sight, out of mind.

However, before she could even lift her foot, she heard his voice again, "Penelope, don't leave me..."

Penelope's eyes welled up with tears, she glared at him angrily, "What on earth does this man want!"

For Lola, the one who sent her to hell was him, and now the one who wouldn't let her go was also him. Was it only when she died that he could be happy?

Penelope turned around somewhat helplessly, continuing to administer medicine to Zackary.

The result was the same as the previous few times, it couldn't be filled at all.

She knew that if she fed him the medicine mouth to mouth, he would definitely be able to swallow it, but she wouldn't do that.

Even if she didn't love Everett, once she had promised to be with him, she would not provoke other men. That was her bottom line and principle in life.

"Mr. Spencer, you might as well not take your medicine! It would be best if you died, then no one could stop me from marrying Everett!"

Penelope's words had an effect, and Zackary surprisingly opened his mouth, swallowing all the medicine she had newly prepared.

Taking care of the sick was tiring enough, and now Penelope herself was a patient. After giving Zackary his medicine, her clothes, clinging to her body, were soaked with sweat.

Late at night, she didn't want to have a grown man stay at her place. Remembering that Samuel had called her before, she took out her phone and started to call him.

Almost immediately, the call was connected, "Ms. Sullivan, what can I do for you?"

"Mr. Colon, Mr. Spencer is with me, he has a fever. Could you please come and pick him up?"

Mr. Spencer was at Ms. Sullivan's place?!

Samuel's small body shuddered, finding it amusing. The boss had finally managed to infiltrate the enemy... no, infiltrate the heart of his beloved. If he dared to go and be a third wheel, he would surely be beaten to death by the boss!

At that moment, Samuel spoke without any sign of embarrassment, "Ms. Sullivan, I'm also concerned about the boss's health, but I'm currently on a business trip abroad and I'm really powerless! Ms. Sullivan, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the boss for now!"

"He had a fever but it was nothing serious. After you gave him the fever reducer and made him drink more water, he was fine after a good sleep."

Fearing that Penelope would be unwilling to take care of their shameless eldest, Samuel quickly hung up the phone.

Penelope really didn't want to take care of Zackary. She even thought about calling the Spencer family to have them take this big Buddha back, but she didn't have the Spencer family's phone number.

After some thought, she decided to call Everett, asking him to come over and throw Zackary out.

Nobody answered.

Divorced or separated men and women should avoid entanglement, Penelope hated those who tried to keep a foot in two boats the most. She didn't want to become what she despised.

After much hesitation, she decided to call the emergency number, to have an ambulance come and take Zackary away.

He was so famous that by the time he got to the hospital, the doctors would always find a way to contact the Spencer family.

Just as Penelope was about to dial the emergency number, Zackary's voice weakly echoed in the air again.

"Penelope, I was in pain..."

Penelope's hand stiffened, she tried hard to treat Zackary as if he was air, to ignore his voice, but when she heard him cry out in pain, she ultimately couldn't suppress her own heartache, and glanced in his direction.

Seemingly aware of Penelope's attention, Zackary clutched his chest tightly, "Penelope, it hurts here! It hurts so much I feel like I'm going to die!"

Penelope feared that Zackary had been hurt in the chest. She hesitated for a moment, but still crawled up to him and lifted his shirt.

Seeing the obvious bruise on his chest, Penelope could no longer hold back, her vision blurred in an instant.

This was left by the kick he received from a horse when he tried to save her.

Didn't he say he was fine at that time? How could he be injured like this!

He was so badly injured, but he didn't go to the hospital for proper treatment. Is he stupid or what!

Although she was so angry that she wanted to slap Zackary to death, Penelope still frantically found the bruise ointment from the medicine box and applied it to his chest.

This blood-stasis-removing ointment, which he had originally gotten from Cornelia, was particularly effective. She thought that after applying it to him, he would feel better. However, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

At this moment, he didn't seem as unreasonably annoying as he usually was, only unspeakably fragile and pitiful.

His eyes were tightly shut, and he spoke in a pitiful tone, "Penelope, it hurts. If you hug me, it won't hurt anymore. Penelope, hug me, okay?"
