Chapter 99 The True Husband of Penelope

After the doctor arrived, he kept shaking his head upon seeing Lyman's condition.

Penelope was extremely worried about him. She wanted to ask the doctor how he was doing, but she was also worried about disturbing the doctor's treatment of him, so she dared not speak much.

After administering emergency treatment to Lyman's injuries in the ambulance, the doctors rushed him into the emergency room as soon as they arrived at the hospital.

Penelope felt that every time she stood outside the emergency room, she was particularly, particularly desperate.

When Ethan was being rushed to the emergency, she was like this. Now, her heart was even more filled with the despair of pain.

Zackary was also waiting outside the emergency room. On one hand, he was worried about his friend's injuries, on the other hand, he was completely enraged to the point of distortion by the words Penelope had just said to Lyman.

Seeing Penelope pale-faced and anxiously leaning on the door of the emergency room, Zackary could no longer control his emotions.

He roughly grabbed Penelope's shoulder, "Penelope, did you still want to marry Lyman?!"

Penelope numbly moved her lips, "Yes! I was going to marry Mr. Hilliard!"

Even if I didn't love him, I still wanted to be kind to him, to give him some warmth.

"Penelope, could you repeat that for me?!"

Penelope gathered herself, then slowly lifted her face.

Her pupils were hollow, without focus, yet they held an extreme sense of irony.

"Mr. Spencer, is this amusing to you? No matter how many times you make me repeat it, I must say, I want to marry Mr. Hilliard!"

"Penelope, you dare!"

"Why shouldn't I dare? Mr. Hilliard is unmarried, and I am unwed. Why shouldn't I dare to marry him?!" Penelope laughed, her face radiant and graceful, but her eyes were utterly desolate. "Mr. Spencer, I, Penelope, may be a bit timid, but I am not easily frightened! Your yelling at me is useless! You can't scare me, not at all!"

"You would only make me think that you are shameless and ridiculous!"

"Penelope!" Zackary was so angry that he really wanted to wring this ungrateful woman's neck, but he knew in his heart that this time, even if he did wring her neck, it wouldn't change her mind.

This realization made him even more upset, causing discomfort throughout his entire body.

"Penelope, don't forget your identity!"

"Identity?" Penelope continued to laugh. In the past, her laughter always carried a sense of world-weary sarcasm. Now, there was no longer that sense of world-weariness about her.

Zackary made her not want to live, but now, she wanted to live well for Lyman.

"Mr. Spencer, are you referring to the identity of your son? Yes, I signed an agreement with you, but what of it?"

"You could have used that agreement to sue me, or even, to have someone hunt me down, but I, Penelope, didn't care anymore, I really didn't care!"

Didn't care anymore...

Penelope's words made Zackary's whole heart tremble. How could this woman not care about him anymore!

Every day, he lived in hatred and longing for her, his heart had already fallen into darkness. Yet now, she casually said she didn't care anymore. How dare she!

"Penelope!"

She was completely indifferent to him, no matter what he said, she always appeared nonchalant. All he could do was to yell her name in anger.

As if he had suddenly found something to rely on, after a long silence, Zackary roared out, "Penelope, you are my woman, Zackary's woman!"

"Ha!"

Penelope chuckled softly, "Mr. Spencer, you're already confused and you're not even old yet. I'm Penelope, just your ex-wife. Lola is your woman!"

"Mr. Spencer, no matter how many bad things you've done to me, there's one thing, I really appreciate you for."

"You didn't give me a wedding."

A pang shot through Zackary's heart, yet Penelope's voice remained elusive and indifferent, "You never gave me a wedding, I never wore a wedding dress, so, the first time I wore a wedding dress in my life, was for Mr. Hilliard."

"Even if I was tainted, even if I had that piece of marriage contract with you, but in my heart, my marriage with Mr. Hilliard was the first."

"He was my Penelope, my true husband!"

"Zackary, you were nothing to me in my heart."

"Long ago, it was nothing at all."

"Penelope, shut up!" Zackary pinned Penelope against the wall tightly. If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, he would have ravished her, making her understand who she truly belonged to.

As if Penelope didn't feel the pain coursing through her body, her gaze seemed to drift incredibly far away.

Faintly, she heard someone talking.

Penelope, with flowers blooming for miles and the city in full splendor, I wanted to give you a grand wedding, to make you the most beautiful bride of mine, Zackary.

Sure, I wanted to be the most beautiful bride for my Zack.

But Zack, I didn't want to be your bride anymore.

Even in the next life, even if I, Penelope, marry a beggar on the street, I will never be your bride again.

Zack, I don't blame you for betraying me. I only blame myself, Penelope, for being blind. After all, I loved the wrong person...

Soon after receiving the message, Lola also hurried over.

Upon seeing Penelope, Lola became incredibly agitated, "Sister, what on earth is going on? Lyman was fine this afternoon, how did something happen to him as soon as he was with you?! Sister, what exactly did you do to Lyman?!"

"Ha!"

Penelope found it extremely hilarious. Clearly, Lola was the root cause of all this, yet now, she was playing the victim! Who on earth gave her the audacity!

"Sister, what are you laughing at?! Speak up! Lyman is so badly hurt, how can you still laugh?! Did you do this to Lyman?!"

"Sister, I truly treated you as my sister, why did you keep hurting me?! It was one thing for you to hurt me, I could bear it, but why did you also hurt my mom and my younger brother?! Sister, would you only be happy when I have nothing left?!"

"Zackary, I'm really upset! Why won't my sister let me go? I know she hates me, hates me for being with you, but no matter how she hurts me, I don't care, even if she killed my child, I would bear it, but she can't hurt my mom and Lyman!"

"My mom hasn't woken up yet, and Lyman's fate is still uncertain. How am I supposed to live like this!"

"Lola, Lyman will be fine!" Zackary gently stroked Lola's back, whispering reassurances.

Watching Lola sobbing uncontrollably, Penelope's cold laughter became even more intense. She really didn't know what kind of thriving pure lotus could bloom such a weird flower like Lola.

Thinking of Ethan and Corona's tragic deaths, and the sight of Lyman lying in a pool of blood, Penelope could no longer contain her anger.

She mustered all her strength, yanked Lola out of Zackary's arms, and ruthlessly pushed her to the ground. Without any hesitation, she kicked her squarely in the face.

"Lola, you really deserve to die! I am going to avenge Ethan, Corona, and Mr. Hilliard right now!"
