Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)
Chapter 2 Shall I Call the Police for You?

Chapter 2 Shall I Call the Police for You?

Zane recalled the scene he had just seen and was shocked, but he quickly reacted. "I'll go investigate her immediately."

Orlando pursed his lips and thought with a frown, "Apparently, she's playing hard to get. What a low trick.

Maybe investigating her was exactly what she wanted."

With that in mind, he said, "Just forget it."

He was sure that Penny had done all this on purpose and that she would certainly be in his sight again.

Penny hurried back to her apartment and washed herself from head to toe several times before falling into bed.

When she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with Orlando's ferocity. She recalled, "At first, it hurt, but later, the extreme thrill seemed to pierce into my bones.

In fact, except for hearing from him the name of another woman, it was not so hard to accept that my virginity had been taken from me by Orlando.

Angie Bender...

That's why he wants to divorce me."

Exhausted though she was, the pain in her body kept her awake.

Penny rolled over, still feeling uncomfortable.

She then got up and opened a drawer. Inside were two red marriage certificates.

Orlando himself was not present on the day of obtaining the certificates, but by the great power of Rex, Penny was able to get them alone.

It was the first time she had taken them out, the first time she had looked closely at the man whose name was printed on the same certificate as her own.

After just a glance, she threw them back and planned to go visit Lana.

It was noon when she drove to the hospital, and the servant who kept watch in the ward had gone to lunch.

Lana Stuart, who was resting, was surprised to see Penny. Her thin little face lit up, and she sat up quickly. "Penny, why are you here?"

Her face was still a bit pale, but she looked quite good. "Did Dad make a fuss again? I told him I'm okay and specifically asked him to keep it a secret from you." Penny sat down by the hospital bed and handed her a glass of warm water. "Dad is worried about you."

Lana had been weak and sickly from a young age, and in severe cases, she had to stop to catch her breath after taking a few steps. From time to time, she had to stay in the hospital for a few days, so Cason doted on her the most.

"But I really don't like being in hospital. Mom is always watching me, so I can only have some plain congee." Lana pursed her lips pitifully. "I've been listening to the nurses talking about the jellied bean curd in the hospital canteen these days. I really want to eat it."

She took Penny's hand and said, "Penny, my dear sister, please. I can leave the hospital today, so having some of it won't do any harm to me."

Lana's eyes widened with excitement, and she looked like an innocent little animal.

Penny could not resist her and bought back a bowl of jellied bean curd.

"You can only have a taste. You can't swallow it." After repeatedly reminding Lana, Penny took the spoon and was about to feed her.

Just at that moment, the voice of Penny's stepmother and Lana's mother, Helen Ritter, came from the door, "What are you doing?!"

Helen was shocked and angry. She strode over, grabbed the spoon and the bowl, and tossed them into a nearby trash can. "You are going to kill your sister while I'm not here, aren't you? I knew it! You've never had any good intentions towards us!"

Penny was pushed aside. Looking at the jellied bean curd in the trash can, she smiled self-mockingly.

"What else did she feed you? Are you feeling unwell?"

As Helen checked Lana, she was so angry that she was about to call Cason to complain. Lana anxiously stopped her, "Mom, you misunderstood Penny. I asked her to buy it for me."

Helen paused, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Lana is a kid, but you are not. Do you not know what you are not supposed to do?"

Then she said to Lana, "If it weren't for her, how would your father have left us outside without asking for so long? How would you be so weak?"

"Mom, stop saying that. Penny is busy, and it's not easy for her to have time to come visit me."

Helen snorted grimly and glanced at Penny, who stood silently beside her.

She thought, "I really don't like her, the daughter born by my husband's ex-wife.

But I have to say, she is a bit useful to the Stuart family." Thinking of this, Helen glanced over at Penny's neck.

It was clean and there was no marks on it.

Helen was uncertain for a moment whether her plan last night had been successful or not.

She said in her heart, "If it weren't for expecting the Fletcher family to give the Stuart family another hand, how would I have pushed an excellent man like Orlando to Penny? I just have no choice, for Lana is in bad health."

With that in mind, Helen was angry and said in a cold tone, "Orlando has returned now. You are his wife, so do not think only of yourself. You should think about how to let the Fletcher family help your father." Hearing that, Penny smiled lightly and said, "It sounds like you're blaming me for having not helped Dad before. Do you think so, or does Dad also think so?"

Helen didn't know what to say for a moment, and Lana hurriedly said, "The doctor has prescribed some medicine for me. Can you go and fetch it for me, Penny?" After leaving the ward, Penny heard Helen's accusation from behind.

"Your father hasn't owed her anything in these years. She just doesn't like me. Her mother died of overwork. At that time, your father was still socializing around, and life was also difficult. I think she has counted this on me, but the truth is that woman was destined to have a hard life."

Penny frowned and thought, "I was injured last night, and it took my great efforts to pretend to be alright in front of Helen just now."

After waiting in line to pick up Lana's medicine, she went to the gynecology department.

She suffered serious injuries to her lower body and even some minor tears. After examining it, the female doctor looked at Penny with a serious expression.

"Miss, shall I call the police for you?"

Penny hadn't expected to hear that.

She was stunned and then realized something. With a somewhat unnatural expression, she said, "Actually, it's my husband. He just came back from a business trip and kind of lost control of himself."

Seeing her hesitation, the female doctor nodded and said, "I see. This is the ointment. Remember to apply it when you go back. Do not have sex lately and tell your husband to be more restrained. Otherwise, he may damage his body at a young age."

Apparently, the female doctor had thought that Penny had encountered something bad.

Penny took it awkwardly, and her face slightly blushed.

Just after coming out of the gynecology department, Penny met Lana's biological brother, Talon Stuart.

He raised his head, and his gaze fell upon the medicine which Penny held.

He felt something strange and said, "Penny, are you here to visit Lana? And, are you feeling unwell?"
