Chapter 373 Not Allowed to Die, Even Less Allowed to Do Something Stupid Kelvin said straight up, "Lucy toldyou were mad and askedto kiss you to cheer you up." "Just a kiss? That was practically a deep kiss! I could barely breathe!" "Oh, got it," Kelvin nodded. "That was a kiss. Letkiss you again." He leaned in again.
Penelope quickly turned her head, scared. "Kelvin, don't you dare!" His deep, magnetic laugh echoed in her ear.
This guy was such a rogue! "Now you're really mad," Kelvin said softly. "Penelope, you look so cute when you're mad." "If you kisslike that again, I will..." "What will you do?" Penelope couldn't answer.
Yeah, what could she do? She could never do anything to Kelvin. Even when she wanted to leave, she could only try to jump into the sea.
Kelvin sighed, pressing his forehead against hers, holding her small hand tightly.
"Penelope, if you want to leave, I can let you go. Just don't hurt yourself anymore," Kelvin's warm breath brushed her face. "Watching you jump was a feeling of deep helplessness that tormentedfor four years." "You would letgo?" "Yes," Kelvin said. "Once Lucy recovers, I'll let you take her." Penelope was surprised, looking deep into his eyes.
She couldn't believe it.
Was this the Kelvin she knew? He was actually willing to let her and Lucy go? "Kelvin, are you serious? You're not joking?" "How could I joke about this, Penelope?" Kelvin's thumb pressed into her palm. "I can't bear the pain of losing you again." He'd rather she leave and live a new life somewhere else.
As long as he knew she was safe and happy, even if she wasn't by his side.

The deep affection in Kelvin's eyes was almost overwhelming.
"So, Penelope, don't hurt yourself anymore, and don't take any risks. Whatever you want, just tell me, and I'll agree." She hesitated and asked, "No matter what I say, you'll agree?" "Yes, as long as it's a request you make yourself, I'll fulfill it." Kelvin didn't want to watch her jump to her death again.
He wanted her to live freely.
"Don't die, and don't do anything foolish," Kelvin kept reminding her. "Leavingdoesn't require you to pay with your life." Penelope's gaze faltered, unable to meet his eyes.
If Kelvin knew that jumping into the sea was all a plan, would he still say these things, or had he already guessed something? Penelope was startled.
Since she returned to LA, Kelvin hadn't asked how she was rescued from the sea.
He hadn't mentioned it at all! Wasn't he curious? Or did he already know? "I'll remember what you said," Penelope replied. "I just hope the surgery will be successful and that Lucy will recover." "Our daughter will definitely recover." That was his promise, his guarantee! If you're loving the book, nel5sis where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Penelope quickly glanced at him and then looked away.
Her lips still had his taste, and her mouth still held his flavor, making her feel flustered. Kelvin, with his silver hair, looked like a devilish supermodel straight out of a magazine. "Kelvin, you..." Penelope hesitated, then asked, "Why don't you ask how I was rescued after jumping into the sea? Or where I've been these past four years?" "Penelope, when you're ready to talk, you'll tell me." He didn't push her or demand answers.
After losing her once, Kelvin understood what love really meant.
He loved Penelope, but loving someone didn't mean possessing them. It meant wanting them to be truly happy.
Kelvin had learned to let go.
That was the lesson Penelope's leap from the yacht had taught him.
If he didn't let go, he'd only drive her to death.
And he couldn't bear to see her die.
"The doctors are discussing the surgery plan. If all goes well, it can happen by the end of the month," Kelvin said, lifting her hand and gently kissing it. "I'll always be here." As a bone marrow donor, he needed to cooperate with the doctors, take medication, and wait for observation to ensure the transplant's success.
Penelope nodded.
Her hair fell against her cheek, tickling her, but she didn't brush it away.
All she could think about was when Lucy would cback.
She really didn't know how to keep interacting with Kelvin! If she stayed any longer, Penelope felt he would definitely kiss her again!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as this thought crossed her mind, Kelvin, as if reading her mind, raised an eyebrow. "Why are you blushing? Still savoring the kiss?"

"Penelope, letat least be a husband and father to you both now.." His voice lowered, "This is my last chance. I really want to do something for you and Lucy. Don't refuse me. After the surgery, when Lucy recovers, whether you want to stay in LA with Mr. Cooper or divorceand leave, it's up to you." Penelope couldn't describe what she was feeling.
The Kelvin she once knew would have clung to her forever, never letting go.
Now he was the one bringing up "divorce." The past four years, believing her dead, had clearly changed Kelvin.
He was scared.
He actually knew fear.
"Got it," Penelope responded quickly, turning to leave. "I'm going to find Lucy." She quickly opened the door.
As soon as the door opened a crack, Lucy tumbled in.
Penelope was stunned. "Lucy?" Kelvin's smile flickered and vanished.
He had heard the footsteps while he was kissing her but pretended not to know.
"Mommy," Lucy got up nonchalantly and dusted off her hands. "Why did you suddenly open the door without saying anything?" "Why were you at the door?" "I cback after my check-up," Lucy said. "Just got here." Penelope suspiciously looked outside the door. "Did you cback alone?" "No, the nurse broughtto the door and then left." Penelope wanted to say something, but Lucy quickly showed her the needle mark on her arm. "I just had blood drawn, Mommy. Blow on it, and it won't hurt."
