Chapter 19
Penelope kept quiet.
Kelvin snapped, "Penelope, I swear, sometimes I just want to strangle you!"
She closed her eyes and tilted her head back. "Well, I'm gonna die by your hands eventually. Go ahead!"
Penelope waited, her body trembling a bit with fear.
But the big hand she expected never touched her neck.
His footsteps echoed, then faded away.
Penelope opened her eyes and saw Kelvin disappearing down the stairs.
She let out a sigh of relief, feeling a lump in her throat and her stomach churning.
Morning sickness and the nausea from eating paper hit her all at once.
Penelope collapsed on the couch, almost throwing up bile, her mouth tasting bitter.
Thank God, Kelvin didn't find out she was pregnant!
Just then, Fiona walked in from the living room.
Seeing Penelope like that, Fiona was almost driven mad with jealousy. Why did Penelope get to sleep with Kelvin?
If only this baby was in her belly, all the wealth and glory would be hers!
"Penelope," Fiona said, jealousy dripping from her voice. "What's wrong with you?"
Penelope didn't look at her, just rinsed her mouth with water.
But Fiona squatted down beside her, all fake concern. "Are you pregnant?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Penelope's heart skipped a beat, and she snapped back.
Fiona smirked, "I'm just saying; why are you so scared?"
Fiona glanced around. "Where's Mr. Davis?"
Penelope replied, "He's in the master bedroom."
Penelope wished Fiona would just disappear and stop being so annoying.
Fiona headed towards the stairs.
Penelope got up and walked towards the bathroom.
A malicious glint flashed in Fiona's eyes.
She couldn't let Penelope keep this baby. Once the baby was born and looked like Kelvin, her own game would be over, and Penelope would rise to power!
She moved closer to Penelope, and as they passed each other, she suddenly stuck out her foot, trying to trip Penelope!
If Penelope fell, the baby would be gone!
But Penelope was ready for her!
Being pregnant made her extra cautious.
When Fiona stuck out her foot, Penelope not only dodged it but also hooked Fiona's heel lightly.
Fiona lost her balance and fell, screaming.
Penelope said, "Watch out. How do you trip like that?"
"You!" Fiona's face twisted with rage, pointing at Penelope, "You did that on purpose!"
"You brought it on yourself," Penelope shrugged, spread her hands, and turned around gracefully.
As she looked up, she saw Kelvin standing on the second floor, staring at her with a dark expression.
That look was terrifying!
"Mr. Davis!" Fiona immediately played the victim. "Penelope bullied me. I was walking just fine, and she tripped me on purpose, making me fall!"
It was the first time Penelope had seen someone lie so blatantly.
Clearly, Fiona had tried to trip her first!
She wanted to explain, but then thought Kelvin wouldn't believe her anyway.
She wasn't the woman he cared about.
With a bitter taste in her mouth and a heavy heart, Penelope lowered her head and stayed silent.
Kelvin came downstairs, bent over, and helped Fiona up. She quickly clung to him, hugging him tightly. "Mr. Davis, it hurts."
She nestled in Kelvin's arms, looking all weak and delicate.
Kelvin spoke coldly, "Penelope, get over here."
Penelope had no choice but to comply.
Kelvin questioned, "How dare you trip her? Don't you know your place?"
"If others don't mess with me, I won't mess with them," Penelope replied, "It was Fiona who—"
"Shut up!" Kelvin cut her off, "Apologize and beg for her forgiveness!"
Before she could respond, Fiona pretended to be all magnanimous. "No need, it was my own carelessness."
Penelope immediately got suspicious.
Why would Fiona speak up for her? There had to be a catch!
Fiona walked over, affectionately holding Penelope's hand. "Actually, I want to get along with you. I don't have many friends in LA."
Penelope immediately pulled her hand back and took two steps away.
As she retreated, Fiona followed, pretending to keep holding her hand, but actually giving Penelope a hard shove!
Penelope lost her balance and fell to the ground.
And right beside her was the coffee table!
She cried out, unable to steady herself, watching helplessly as her belly hit the sharp corner of the coffee table!
A sharp pain spread through Penelope's body!
"How could you be so careless?" Fiona exclaimed, "Penelope, are you okay?"
She pretended to help Penelope, but was actually very pleased!
Now, the baby couldn't be saved!
"Look," Fiona pointed at the blood on the floor. "Mr. Davis, Penelope seems to be bleeding!"
Kelvin narrowed his eyes. "What's going on?"
Penelope rolled on the ground in pain, biting her lip hard to stay conscious.
She couldn't faint!
Penelope clutched her belly, curling up into a small ball, her face pale. "It hurts, it hurts so much."
Blood slowly stained her pants.
Did she lose her baby?
Fiona's face was full of glee.
Finally, this baby was gone!
The major threat was eliminated!
"Penelope," Kelvin sensed something was wrong. "Why are you bleeding down there?"
Even though she was in excruciating pain, Penelope didn't reveal her pregnancy.
She bit her lower lip hard. "It's my period."
Kelvin frowned in disgust.
"Mr. Davis, should we take her to the hospital?" Fiona asked, "She seems to be in a lot of pain."
Anyway, the baby was already gone. After taking her to the hospital, she could let Kelvin find out she was pregnant and accuse her of infidelity!
She wanted to kill two birds with one stone!
"It's just her period," Kelvin's eyes were cold and indifferent. "She won't die. Let's go."
He walked past Penelope without a trace of pity, not even glancing at her.
Fiona followed him, satisfied and smug.
Penelope propped herself up on the ground, dragging her body towards the door. "Help."
"Mrs. Davis!" Jeff was shocked when he saw this scene. "You okay?"
Penelope grabbed Jeff's hand. "Hospital, take me to the hospital now!"
If there was still time, maybe she could save the baby!
"Okay!" Jeff immediately complied!
At the hospital, the doctor said nothing and immediately wheeled Penelope into the operating room!
The moment she lay on the operating table, Penelope couldn't hold on any longer and fell unconscious.
Two hours later, the doctor came out, breathing a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this lady and her baby are safe!"
Jeff was stunned.
Was Penelope pregnant?
