From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter143 I Want You to Divorce Her, Now! He said, "Good thing you didn't lose." Kelvin rolled up her sleeve, examining closely to ensure there were no injuries on her. If Penelope had lost, Kelvin would have been unable to do anything about Fiona. Throughout the journey, he had been worried she wouldn't be able to defend herself. Fortunately, she didn't lose to Fiona.

Penelope paused, not quite catching his drift.

She withdrew her hand, avoiding his touch, "I can't fight today, but next tI see Fiona, I won't let her off!" "Leave Fiona to me," he said.

Penelope scoffed, "Kelvin, you keep saying you love me. Then why do you seem to take her side over mine?" It seemed like he was pushing Fiona away, but in truth, he was protecting her! "You Jealous?" Kelvin raised an eyebrow and asked.

Penelope was taken aback again.

Was she... jealous? Even though Kelvin professed his affection for her, he still treated Fiona well in their interactions.

To be honest, it really irked Penelope. Why can men say one thing and do another? Is love not about favoritism but exclusivity? "I'm not," Penelope denied, "You can continue to favor Fiona. It has nothing to do with me!" She turned to leave, but Kelvin reached out, pulling her into his embrace, "I need to be responsible for Fiona. I owe it to her. I hope you can understand that." Penelope nearly laughed angrily, "Why should I understand you? If my mother hadn't survived the surgery, Fiona and I would have been enemies for life! It's either her or me, not both!" She didn't know what history Kelvin and Fiona shared, nor did she care.

After several long hours of waiting, finally, the lights in the operating room went out. Penelope approached immediately, "Doctor, how is my mother?" "She's fine," the doctor said wearily, "but she needs to be transferred to the ICU to be monitored closely." "So, you're saying... there's still a risk to her life?" Penelope inquired worriedly.

"We're treating her. There shouldn't be any risks." Penelope's heart was still gripped with uncertainty.

The nurse wheeled out Mrs. Cooper's bed. Seeing her wearing an oxygen mask and covered in tubes, barely clinging to life, Penelope felt an ache in her heart.

What on earth did Fiona say for her mother to end up like this? She had to find out.

"Let's go," Kelvin stood behind her, "You haven't fully recovered yourself." Penelope stood at the entrance to the ICU, silent and motionless.

Kelvin swept her into his arms and carried her away.

Throughout the journey, she remained silent, her typical defensive demeanor softened, no longer reacting impulsively, but instead calm and serene.

This uncharacteristic calmness unsettled Kelvin, making him more aware of her presence, so he kept holding her hand tightly.

"We're here," he said as the car pulled up to the hospital entrance. Penelope got out, "I can go back myself." Kelvin didn't speak but followed her quietly.

He knew she was upset and hurting, but he wouldn't punish Fiona.

The hospital corridor was eerily quiet. Penelope thought it strange, wondering where the security guard and nurses went.

Then she opened the door to her room and understood why. Grandpa was seated on the couch, his usual aura of triumph now overshadowed by an expression of fatigue and the passage of time. Whist, Lily was pouring coffee for him.

"Why is Grandpa here?" Kelvin stepped in, noting the absence of people in the hallway.

"Family matters should stay within the family. I don't want outsiders overhearing," Grandpa explained.

"What do you want to talk about?" asked Kelvin.

Grandpa set down his coffee cup and pointed at Penelope, "I want you to divorce her. Get the papers ready immediately!" Kelvin's brow furrowed deeply.

But Penelope laughed, "Kelvin, I'm not the one seeking a divorce this time." The patriarch's influence remained strong within the Davis family. Kelvin knew that standing up to the family's expectations and adamantly rejecting a divorce would pose a significant challenge. She wondered how long he could last.

Moreover, would he offend the Davis family for her? Penelope felt she wasn't that important in Kelvin's heart yet. To a successful man, career and benefits always cfirst, not a woman.

Lily sneered, "Look at you, still laughing. Penelope, without a child, you're nothing!" She wasn't afraid of Penelope now.

Without a child to cement her status, what prestige did she have? Penelope replied coolly, "Are you sure it waswho failed to keep the child?" The truth was known only to her and Kelvin.

"What do you mean by that?" Grandpa demanded, "Is there more to the miscarriage?" The underlying secrets lay just beneath the surface, and in that quiet hospital room, family tensions began to unravel.

"Nothing is going on behind the scenes," Kelvin quickly replied, "Grandpa, my personal life doesn't need your meddling."

Since Grandpa had been in the dark. about the child being his from the! start, there was even less reason for him to be clued in now.

"Kelvin, what am I going to do with you? Penelope had a miscarriage! lost a great grandchild, and I can't eat or sleep these days. Meanwhile, you're acting like nothing's wrong!" Even Lily found it strange.

How could Kelvin be so cold-hearted? After all, that was his flesh and blood.

Even if Penelope was the daughter of the Davis family's enemy, the child was still his.

"I have my plans. This year, Penelope and I will try again to fulfill Grandpa's wish." "No need!" Grandpa dismissed with a wave of his hand, "This woman cannot stay in the Davis family any longer!" He had been strongly against this marriage from the beginning.

It was only because Penelope got pregnant that he changed his mind.

Now that the child was gone, there was no way Penelope could comfortably play the role of the Davis family's young mistress!

"Kelvin, get a divorce now!" Grandpa demanded, "So many women would kill to marry into the Davis family, and marry in the socialites of LA are at your fingertips! Now that the child is gone, she's a nobody!" That's just how realistic people are.

Penelope remembered how, when she first got pregnant, Grandpa had been so warm and caring, constantly sending her nourishing gifts.

What a difference to see his true colors now.

If... if the child she was carrying was really Kelvin's, how disheartening it would have been to see the Davis family change their attitude like this.

"Sure," Penelope nodded, "I am willing to divorce without a penny to my name."
