Chapter 116 I'll Take You to the Hospital
Seeing that Orlando intended to wait for Penny there, Anika began to feel anxious. She hoped that Ms.
Stuart would return quickly.
Although Ms. Stuart mentioned that she had no emotional connection with Mr. Fletcher, Anika didn't
want their relationship to deteriorate.
Mr. Fletcher's time was precious, and it was evident that he didn't like Ms. Stuart. Now, he was willing
to wait here. If Ms. Stuart took too long, Mrs. Moran might give her a hard time again.
Anika quickly found a secluded corner and called Penny.
"Ms. Stuart, Mr. Fletcher is waiting here for you. Should we tie Niko outside for now?"
If Penny returned now and Niko barked, Orlando would notice since she had to pass by that way.
Penny knew Orlando had come to confront her, and the worst-case scenario was that they would
terminate their cooperation.
Even worse, Orlando might publicly announce that he would never collaborate with the studio where
she worked. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Penny's brow furrowed, and she held the dog leash, thinking about how to explain herself.
Initially, she thought they would divorce soon and didn't feel the need to explain.
But no one could have predicted that things would escalate to this point. Considering Orlando's cold
attitude towards her, she felt it didn't matter anymore. A sincere apology would suffice.
But she couldn't tell him that Niko lived at Hills Villa. So she returned to find Zoey, hoping that Zoey
could watch Niko for a while. Once she had dealt with Orlando, she would return to pick up Niko to
avoid making Orlando even more annoyed due to his allergies to dog hair.
Zoey readily agreed, and they quickly made the arrangements.
This delay took about twenty minutes in total. Penny began to run back to Hills Villa, worried that
Orlando might become impatient.
But just as she reached a spot less than a hundred meters from Hills Villa, she saw Orlando's car
driving out of the villa.
His face was somewhat darkened, and twenty minutes had already tested his patience. Even for
essential business partners, he wouldn't tolerate more than a five-minute delay, let alone Penny, who
had stood him up twice.
His brow furrowed as he saw Penny through the car window.
Penny, surprised by the sight of Orlando's car and in a rush, stumbled and fell as she twisted her foot.
The pain was excruciating, and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
The car slowed beside her, and the window rolled down, revealing Orlando's stern face.
He was dressed impeccably in a sharp black suit, his hands resting on a stack of documents on his lap,
looking somewhat unapproachable.
Penny struggled to stand, but due to her twisted foot, the pain had turned her lips pale, and her eyes
welled up with involuntary tears due to the sudden pain.
"Mr. Fletcher."
She called out and was about to explain herself, perhaps apologizing for not revealing her identity
earlier.
However, she heard Orlando's cold inquiry, "Do you live around here?"
Penny was surprised, failing to respond immediately. Orlando followed with a second question.
"Is your foot okay?"
It was a coincidence that they ran into each other and were no strangers to each other. Orlando didn't
think he could leave her alone here just like that.
Besides, it seemed like a painful fall.
There was a hole in Penny's pants, her knee was bleeding, and her ankle was twisted. Standing was
now a struggle for her.
She was about to answer but winced as she moved her leg, involuntarily letting out a moan.
She glanced down at her knee and noticed a small, sharp stone embedded inside. That explained the
intense pain.
Orlando opened the car door, his tone devoid of emotion.
"Get in. I'll take you to the hospital."
There was a hospital not far from here, about a ten-minute driving distance, and he was going in the
same direction.
Penny's mind briefly raced, concluding that Orlando didn't know her identity.
A polite smile appeared on her face, and she felt less anxious.
With Orlando's complete lack of interest in her, he might not even know her identity after the contract
ended.
That might be for the best.
She wanted to decline his offer, but considering her current condition, could she still return and pick up
Niko?
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fletcher."
