Chapter 644 Penny Gets a Call
Chapter 644 Penny Gets a Call
Thomas was not so anxious as Gloria. Since it had a problem, he would just find a way to fix it.
Thomas continued.
"Gloria, I help you analyze it first, so that you would not be so anxious."
"First of all, Penny and Winnie will not be good again. Even if Winnie could forgive Penny, Penny would
not forgive Winnie.
"Her end was caused by Winnie, so she would take revenge."
No matter how Gloria thought, Thomas felt it absolutely impossible. In prison, she tried to deal with
Winnie, now she was out and she would seize all opportunities. And she came out of the purpose to
make Winnie suffer.
"But she said Winnie often goes to see her."
Gloria believed her, because Penny said firmly. And it made sense that Winnie and Penny now stood
on the same side to deal with her.
"Since she said so, she must have her idea. You switched your target to Winnie, which was good for
her, because you will help her fix the problem. And then she would tell what you do to Brian. Who do
you think will win?
Thomas’ analysis was thorough. Penny was smart but he could not be deceived. And even if what
Penny said was a fact, he would not be enemy with Winnie.
Brian still cared about Winnie now. If he tried to hurt Winnie, Brian would protect her and the result
would be bad.
"I feel quite reasonable. Penny wanted to use me to deal with Winnie."
After Gloria understood that, she felt less nervous.
"Yes, she must have thought so."
"Gloria, no matter what kind of attitude Winnie has now, we can't be her enemy for the time being. The
most important thing is to deal with the threat from Penny.”
"Well, don't worry too much. I will make some inquiries to find out what happened to Penny, and then
we will come up with a plan.”
Thomas was calm and sophisticated, especially experienced in these shady things.
"Uncle Thomas, I don't worry now. I'll just wait for your news."
Since Thomas had said that, Gloria had nothing to worry about. After all, they were mutually beneficial,
and if something went wrong on her side, Thomas's work would be wasted.
Thomas put down the phone with a frown. He immediately sent someone to look into the matter of
Penny. He didn't get the news until about evening.
"She has cancer?"
Thomas was obviously surprised to receive the phone.
"Terminal cancer? How much time can she still live?"
Thomas continued to ask.
"Up to six months, maybe two months if her mental state is not good."
The answer surprised Thomas again.
He was still in shock after hanging up the phone.
Penny was unlucky to have terminal cancer. Should he still need to deal with her? As long as their plan
was prolonged for two months.
But should he tell Richard that Penny had cancer? Should he make them meet?
Although it was already late, Thomas still chose to go to Richard's hiding place.
"You haven't been to see me for a long time."
Richard was surprised that Thomas came so late.
"I have something to tell you. Be prepared, Richard."
Thomas wanted to say it directly, or it would be more torturing.
"What makes you so serious?"
Richard was nervous and thought his hiding place had been discovered. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
"It is about Penny. She's out of prison."
"Really, how did she get out? Where is she now?"
Richard was so surprised that he could not believe it was true. However, Thomas was so serious.
"Now she is in her own house. I heard a friend named Oscar is taking care of her."
"Take care of her? What's wrong with her? Why does she need someone to look after her?"
Richard's surprise turned to nervousness. He had a bad presentiment that Thomas was not bringing
good news.
"Stomach cancer."
Thomas was helpless. Although he did not like Penny, he knew Richard loved his daughter.
"Stomach cancer? You're saying my daughter got out of prison because she has stomach cancer?"
Richard's mind went blank and he couldn't believe it. But prisoner could not get out unless they were
seriously ill.
"Yes, terminal cancer and it has spread. The doctor said she could still live for two months to six
months."
Although the words sounded cruel to Richard, it was true, and Thomas had to make things clear.
"Terminal cancer….."
Richard really couldn't take it and sat down on the floor.
"How can it be? She's so young. She's got so much time left. How can she only have half a year to
live?”
"No, there must have been some mistake. My daughter would not end her life so soon."
Richard almost broke down. He could not accept the fact. He would rather it was all unreal, would
rather it was all a dream.
Tomorrow morning when he woke up, it would be over.
"Richard, no one could accept this kind of thing, but that's the way it is."
Thomas comforted Richard. As a father, he could relate to the despair of losing a child.
"No, no, I'll go and see her. I'll see for myself."
Richard suddenly got up and rushed to the door, but was stopped by Thomas.
"Don’t be impulsive, Richard. You will get yourself into troubles. Don't you know what your situation is
now? Once you go out and expose yourself, your life is over."
"I'm old now, I am not afraid. I can get sick for my daughter."
Richard was still struggling, but Thomas pulled him back to the sofa in the living room.
"You're crazy, aren't you? You're not rational at your age. You have not just a daughter. You have two
other kids and the woman you've been with your whole life. You can’t leave them alone."
"Richard, calm down. Even if you want to see Penny, you can't go out on such an impulse. How do you
know if she has a cop with her and if it's a trap?"
Thomas wanted Richard to carefully consider it. If he was careless, his hiding for so long would be
destroyed. What matters was that he would be exposed.
"What should I do then? Call her. Call her right now. You get me her number."
Richard had to call Penny and he must know the specific situation.
"It is not safe. Richard, don't worry. I'll see if I can get the number of Penny's friends. It's safer for you to
call him."
Thomas was cautious. He began to look for Oscar's phone. Ten minutes later when he got the number,
Richard called Oscar with his mobile phone.
Oscar was watching TV with Penny in the living room, and had been urging Penny to go to sleep as
soon as possible.
"You can't stay up late, Miss Penny. It's very bad for your health."
Oscar avoided the word cancer as much as possible.
"Time is important to me. Health is not. I have to catch up with the TV series I'm watching, otherwise I
won't see the end."
Penny said jokingly, but Oscar was sad to hear that.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not too late to watch it tomorrow. If you go to bed early and get up early, you'll
have plenty of time to watch TV."
Oscar reached out to pull Penny, by this time, his phone rang.
"Pick up, pick up, I'll go upstairs to bed after this call."
Penny urged him and felt the call was in the right time, so that she could watch for more time.
"I don’t know the number."
Oscar hesitated, and the phone kept ringing.
Perhaps it was the constant sound of the phone that prevented Penny from watching TV, she urged
again.
"Pick it up, chat with him even if it is fraud."
Oscar smiled when Penny said so, and understood that Penny must want to watch more TV.
All right, he picked it up so that she could watch it a little longer.
“Hello!”
Oscar picked up the phone.
"Hello, I am Penny's friend. I heard she's back. Can I talk to her?"
Richard deliberately slowed down his voice, trying to control his emotions.
"You want to speak to Penny?"
Oscar asked with surprise.
"Yes, please, I want to speak to her."
Richard said, his heart trembling.
"Well, wait a minute."
Oscar handed the phone to Penny, and then said.
"This call is for you. Answer it."
"For me?"
Penny was also surprised. Who was it?
"Yes, he said he is your friend."
"Pick it up, he is waiting."
Oscar urged, and then put the phone into the hands of Penny.
"Hello!"
Penny answered the phone, inexplicable.
"Penny..."
Only hearing the sound, Penny had known who he was, and then immediately she covered the
telephone receiver.
"What's the matter?”
Oscar asked without knowing why.
"I have to go to the bathroom."
Penny was quick to answer Oscar.
"Ok. Go ahead."
Oscar urged, without thinking too much.
"Ok."
Penny directly ran to the bathroom, and then locked the bathroom door before she said excitedly.
"Dad, Dad, is it really you?"
"Yes, it's me."
Richard was also excited. It was the first time they had spoken on the phone since the accident, and
both could not contain their emotions under the circumstances.
"Dad, I miss you."
Penny cried uncontrollably when she heard her father's voice. If she remembered correctly, it was the
first time she had ever said she missed her father.
Her father was the only family she had, and until then she realized that he was the only person in the
world who was good to her.
"Penny, I miss you too. Don’t cry. I have many things to talk to you."
Richard comforted Penny. It was a rare call, he could not waste time on useless things.
