Chapter 610 It Was a Premeditated Plan With a sigh, Brent rushed over to Nicole's ward.
But he got stopped right at the door.
"What's the deal?" Brent asked. "I'm here to see my wife, and you're blocking me?" "Nicole's not feeling well and isn't seeing anyone." "Not even me? Seriously, why?" The bodyguard replied, "Mr. Davis's orders." Brent deflated like a popped balloon.
Kelvin had seen this coming; at this crucial moment, Brent and Nicole couldn't meet.
Nicole was the only sane one in the Mitchell family. And the only one who genuinely wanted Penelope back! Kelvin had been keeping tabs on Brent for a while now.
Wherever Brent went, bodyguards followed, ready to report any weird stuff to Kelvin right away! At the hospital entrance, Penelope walked ahead, picking up her pace.
It was already three in the morning, the streets were empty, lit only by dim streetlights.
Penelope could only hear her own heavy breathing. Until she saw a shadow on the ground behind her.
This shadow had been tailing her for a while, keeping a proper distance, not too close, not too far, and saying nothing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPenelope knew it was Kelvin.
Finally, she stopped.
"Are you gonna keep walking?" Kelvin said. "A bit of exercise can help release emotions." "I've got nothing to release." "You're clearly upset, Penelope." Penelope bit her lower lip, suddenly feeling like crying because of his words.
After all she had been through, she wasn't that fragile.
She just stared at the ground, watching the shadow slowly approach and merge with hers.
She didn't turn around.
A warm, familiar chest pressed against her back.
"If you want to cry, my arms are always open for you," Kelvin whispered in her ear. "Penelope, you don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me." She stayed silent.
"I know what you're thinking, Penelope. No matter what, you still have me." He sighed. "Even if you don't wantanymore, I'm always here. Just turn around, and you'll see me." Penelope's defenses slowly crumbled with his words.
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Kelvin hugged her from behind, holding her tightly, enveloping her trembling.
His strength supported her fragility.
Penelope slowly turned around, not daring to look up, only staring at his Adam's apple. "Kelvin." "I'm here." "What should I do?" "It's not about what you should do; you did nothing wrong, so why worry?" Kelvin rested his chin on her head. "Think of it this way; you're filtering out the people who truly love you. Penelope, Nicole truly loves you." Thinking of Nicole made Penelope's heart ache.
The truth revealed by Isabella's background was terrifying just to think about! How could Nicole bear it? Brent's betrayal, Isabella being Brent's illegitimate daughter, and Nicole being kept in the dark for so many years-how painful it must be! Penelope rested her forehead against his chest.

"I know what you're thinking." Penelope was startled. "You even know that?" Could he read minds? "You must be wondering if your sudden disappearance as a kid was all part of splan," Kelvin said, his voice low. "Someone took you away on purpose and then sent Isabella to the Mitchell family. They let you wander while Isabella got to live the life you should've had." Back then, Nicole was drowning in the grief of losing her daughter. Suddenly having an adopted daughter was like a band-aid on a bullet wound.
It all fit together too perfectly.
Penelope took a deep breath. "Exactly. I think my disappearance was to make room for Isabella in the Mitchell family!" "Penelope, who do you think had the most to gain from this?" She said, "Brent!" He was the most suspicious! And only he could've pulled it off! "No." Kelvin shook his head. "I don't think it was him." "Why not?" Kelvin ruffled her hair. "Just a gut feeling. If he had sent you away, you're still his daughter. He would've kept tabs on you, known who adopted you, and watched over you from a distance, rather than just forgetting about you." "But from his behavior, he had no idea you were his daughter until Nicole told him. This shows he had no clue about your whereabouts for over twenty years." No matter how heartless Brent was, he wouldn't send away one biological daughter and bring another home, right?
Even if he could be that heartless, could he really send Penelope away and then completely ignore her and prétend she didn't exist? That was Kelvin's take on it.
Penelope said, "What if he really is that heartless? What if he only acknowledges Isabella and doesn't care about me?"

"Then, Penelope, you should show him no mercy and leave no room for leniency!" She bit her lip hard. "If you have even a shred of softness for Brent, you'd be letting down the young you who was sent away!" Penelope looked up and met his gaze. "And letting down Nicole for all the suffering she endured over the years." At that moment, Penelope suddenly felt that she and Kelvin were kindred spirits.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe believed she was changing Kelvin with love, fulfillment, and compromise, but he was slowly changing her too.
For example, he taught her decisiveness, ruthlessness, to m abandon skindness, and to protect herself and those she cared about! "Penelope." Kelvin slowly approached. "The most useless thing in the world is weak kindness." Being both weak and kind only harmed oneself and others! It served no other purpose! Penelope stared at him in a daze.
Her reflection was in Kelvin's eyes.
It was a good thing he was there tonight.
He supported her, gave her strength, and faced everything with her, sharing the burden.
Otherwise, Penelope really didn't know how she could've stayed there.
Kelvin lowered his eyes and hugged her. "Penelope, don't look atlike that; it's dangerous." A woman looking at a man so silently and helplessly easily triggered a man's protective instincts.
Especially since Penelope had always been Kelvin's greatest love.
His greatest love, bar none.
He hadn't kissed her in a long time; the softness of her lips was just a memory.
Kelvin wanted to taste it now.
