Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 23 Don't Inform Her Husband

Chapter 23 Don't Inform Her Husband

"My husband often works overtime. He is too busy and I don't want to burden him."

Penny put her hands on her temples and pressed them gently to relieve the double vision in front of her

eyes.

To avoid further misunderstandings with Orlando, she held onto the handrail of the escalator and

gestured toward him, "It's no big deal, Mr. Fletcher. Your car is over there. I'll walk you to it."

Orlando lowered his gaze faintly. In the situation last night, if she had fainted in the bathroom, it could

have been life-threatening. Yet, she was still considering her husband.

Was she just foolish, or did she just love her husband too much?

Suddenly, he recalled the various misunderstandings he had towards her before, and out of a desire to

make amends, he said, "I'll take you to the hospital first."

Penny took a step down while holding onto the handrail, but she almost stumbled.

Orlando acted quickly and pulled her back.

"Perry?"

Penny had reached her limit. She had already tried hard to remain conscious in the restaurant, and

now, with the sunlight hitting her, she became even more lightheaded and dizzy.

She knew Orlando was calling her, but her throat felt as if it were blocked, and she couldn't utter a

word.

Orlando felt her body burning up. It was impressive that she had endured it until now.

He tentatively touched her forehead with his hand, and perhaps the coolness of his fingertips made her

feel comfortable, as she couldn't help but nuzzle against it.

Orlando's hand stiffened as if he got an electric shock and quickly withdrew it.

They would have a long-term partnership, and he couldn't just leave her unattended.

Frowning, he bent down and carried her horizontally in his arms.

However, as they reached the intersection, a car stopped right in front of them. The car window rolled

down, revealing Kale's face.

Kale didn't know that Penny had already closed this deal. When he saw Orlando from a distance, he

intended to greet him and leave a good impression. But when he saw the person Orlando was holding,

his pupils contracted in an instant.

Orlando also recognized him. He was the man who was with Penny in the elevator that night, and

Orlando had mistakenly believed they were having an affair.

But if not, who was the one who slapped Penny afterward?

Kale got out of the car quickly and stretched out his hands to take her.

Orlando narrowed his eyes, "Who are you?"

Kale didn't expect Orlando to remember their time in the same class back in high school. He anxiously

introduced himself, "I'm her boss at the studio."

Orlando shifted his gaze. So, the person who slapped Penny that day was the wife of her boss?

He turned around and put Penny into his back seat, "She has a high fever, and I'm taking her to the

hospital now."

Seeing that he was taking Penny away, Kale panicked. "Can I come with you? Maybe you forgot, but

we were classmates in high school..."

Orlando wasn't used to having strangers in his car, but when he heard him mention high school, a faint

memory surfaced.

"Okay."

Seeing him nod, Kale initially wanted to sit in the back to take care of Penny.

Orlando opened the door on the other side and sat in first.

Kale hesitated for a moment, but he didn't dare to let Orlando be his chauffeur, so he went to the

driver's seat instead.

The car was quiet until the slight bumps caused Penny to slide onto Orlando's lap, and her breath blew

onto his suit.

Orlando stiffened all over and glanced at the person driving in front. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Kale didn't notice their actions and continued looking ahead while honking the horn. "The closest

hospital from here is Chatville Central Hospital. She often goes there."

"Does she get sick a lot?"

"No, her sister has been hospitalized."

Kale didn't expect Orlando to ask further, so he answered instinctively.

Orlando helped Penny up, worried that she might hit her head on the window. He frowned and thought

for a moment, then reached out and used his hand to shield her head.

Kale saw this action through the rearview mirror and was somewhat surprised.

He thought Orlando was not easy to get along with, but he didn't expect him to be so considerate.

Kale drove very fast and arrived at the hospital in just fifteen minutes.

He intended to get out of the car and help Penny out, but he saw her leaning against Orlando's

shoulder with her eyes tightly closed.

He suddenly became worried that Penny might have offended Orlando, considering that everyone

knew he wasn't interested in women.

However, seeing Orlando's composed appearance, he didn't offer to help support Penny and yet bent

down to do it directly, but she was clinging to Orlando at the moment.

Kale looked at him awkwardly and said, "Well..."

Orlando remained unfazed, as if unaffected, and moved over a bit.

Kale quickly helped Penny up and sincerely said, "I'll take her to the hospital now. When she wakes up,

she'll personally thank you."

Orlando leaned against the car and took a few more glances at Penny, his tone casual. "Aren't you

going to inform her husband?"
