Chapter 754 Sam Is Willing To Exchange Himself For You
"Can you be straightforward? Are you going to exchange or not?"
"No exchange!" Nicole, Connor, and Penelope all refused simultaneously.
However, Sam's childish voice firmly said, "Yes!"
"Sam!" Penelope immediately shook her head. "Don't talk nonsense, don't answer recklessly! This is not a game! It's very dangerous!"
Usually, she could tolerate minor squabbles, but not in such a serious situation. She couldn't back down even a step!
"Penelope, I want to save you." Sam pushed Connor aside and stood at the front. "I can't watch the bad woman hurt you. Your neck is already injured!"
"It's nothing, just a small wound. It'll be fine in a couple of days. You don't need to worry, Sam. I'll be okay." When Penelope said this, she felt both guilty and powerless.
Because she couldn't even convince herself.
Given the current situation, how could she possibly be okay?
Sam was so smart and quick-witted; he already knew what all this meant.
She couldn't fool him.
"Don't lie to me, Penelope." Sure enough, Sam said, "The bad woman wants me, not you. So, you can't be in danger."
"Then should you be in danger? Sam, don't come over! Do you hear me?"
"Penelope, I want to exchange myself for you!"
Sam's face was full of determination, without hesitation or doubt!
Because the person he wanted to save was his mommy!
The mommy who gave birth to him, raised him, and treated him the best!
Penelope kept shaking her head. "No, no, Sam, stop, stop!"
Sam walked straight towards Isabella.
"Dad, Mom!" Penelope screamed, her voice breaking, "Stop Sam, don't let him come over, do you hear me? Stop him, don't just stand there!"
She added, "Isabella said she would exchange me for Sam, but can you really trust her? She can't be trusted!"
"I'm already in danger, so let me be the only one in danger. Don't drag Sam into this!"
Connor and Nicole both stepped forward, each grabbing one of Sam's arms and quickly pulling him back.
"Grandpa, Grandma, let go of me," Sam said. "If this goes on, Penelope will get seriously hurt!"
Connor said, "If you go over, you'll get hurt too!"
"No, I won't. Trust me! I'm smart!"
No matter what Sam said, Nicole and Connor wouldn't let go.
Sam was very frustrated and anxious.
He tried to walk towards Isabella again, but as soon as he took a step, Connor picked him up and held him tightly in his arms.
"Sam, you can't get hurt again," Connor said. "Your dad will be here soon. Wait a bit longer, maybe he'll have a good solution. Don't rush in! Don't add to the burden and cause trouble!"
Sam looked serious. "I'm going to save Penelope, not cause trouble!"
"You..."
Connor had just started to speak when Penelope's voice rang out, "I don't need you to save me, Sam, do you understand? Take care of yourself!"
She was very stern. Her face was flushed.
Sam looked at her, pouting, looking a bit aggrieved.
He just wanted to save her, why was she being so harsh?
Although Sam also understood that Penelope didn't want him to get hurt.
Mother and son, both thinking of each other.
Seeing Connor holding Sam tightly, with his feet off the ground, Penelope temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, when she saw Sam walking towards her without hesitation, a clear memory flashed in her mind.
When she was kidnapped by Fiona, Kelvin had also walked over decisively, exchanging himself for her.
No hesitation, no retreat, no fear.
And just now, Sam was exactly like Kelvin at that time.
From expression to action! From demeanor to language!
They both genuinely wanted to save her and were willing to exchange their own safety for hers!
At this moment, Penelope truly felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
Her husband loved her.
Her son loved her.
Her daughter also loved her.
She was surrounded by so much love! So many people loved her!
"Isabella, I now understand why you're so jealous of me," Penelope smiled. "Because what I have is something you'll never get!"
"Are you showing off to me? You're in my hands now. As long as I move my knife a bit, you'll be dead! Do you know that I control your life and death right now?"
"You won't kill me, otherwise, you would have done it already and then killed yourself. Why else would you be stalling and asking to exchange Sam for me?"
Isabella gritted her teeth. "Keeping you alive is to make you suffer!"
Penelope replied, "I'm not suffering, I'm very happy. Isabella, you could have had a lot of love too, but you pushed it all away yourself. You thought you didn't deserve it. Then you envied and hated me for having it."
"I never had it!"
"Did you never feel the love from Brent and my mom? And what about Brandon's love?"
"No!" Isabella said. "They didn't love me!"
"The love you wanted was too extravagant. People need to know their place. Why should my mom love you, an adopted daughter, the same way she loves me, her biological daughter? Besides, you're the illegitimate daughter of a mistress. The fact that she tolerated your existence and cared for you was already very good."
Penelope sighed. "As for Brandon's love, he had feelings for you too, but you insisted on romantic love. Isabella, you destroyed everything yourself and then blamed everyone else for owing you!"
Isabella was stunned.
These words made a lot of sense and somewhat convinced her.
Yes, all along, she wanted what Penelope had so easily.
But why should she have it?
She was the illegitimate daughter of a mistress. It was already good that Nicole didn't hate her, yet she wanted Nicole to love her the same as Penelope.
She had taken Penelope's place and got engaged to Brandon. The fact that Brandon had feelings for her and was willing to be lifelong friends and offer help was already good.
Different positions, different rewards!
Gritting her teeth and hardening her heart, Isabella said, "No matter what, I have no way back now, Penelope. I don't want you to die, and Sam is willing to exchange himself for you. You'd better behave and save your own life!"
Penelope replied, "Is Sam's life not a life? He's my son!"
"Is Sam more important than yourself?"
