Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 125 Acting to the End

"I saw Mr. Fletcher on that road and guessed that Mr. Fletcher must have a house in that area."

She was grateful to have run into Orlando when she walked her dog Niko.

Upon hearing this, Orlando suddenly remembered that Penny's leg seemed to be injured, but she didn't

treat it at the hospital just now.

Throughout the journey, she hadn't shown any signs of discomfort. Was she forcing herself?

Indeed, Penny was forcing herself. Even pressing the accelerator pedal caused excruciating pain in her

foot.

But she had caused such serious injuries to Orlando and delayed their attendance at the banquet

tonight. She had to do something for him, or else she wouldn't feel at ease.

She didn't want to owe Orlando in any way.

"Mr. Fletcher, I only know that you have a house in that area, but I don't know which building

specifically. Can you point it out later?"

Acting to the end.

Orlando leaned back, and his gaze was calmly fixed on her.

Penny inexplicably felt a chill down her spine, gripping the steering wheel tightly. Her palms were Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

sweating due to the pain.

When she saw Hills Villa, she instinctively stepped on the brakes. It was a reflexive action caused by

her body.

The car stopped at the entrance of Hills Villa, and Penny looked up, meeting his gaze through the

rearview mirror.

His eyes were dark and cold as he said in a detached tone, "Why are we stopping here?"

Penny bit her lip, realizing that she had made a mistake. She felt a cold sweat breaking out on her

back.

"My foot is hurting, and I'm just taking a break."

"Hmm."

Orlando half-closed his eyes, uttering only that word.

He thought she was invincible, but it turned out she knew pain.

Coincidentally, they happened to stop at the entrance of Hills Villa.

Anika Fox had seen Orlando's car before and hurriedly came out upon hearing the sound.

"Mr. Fletcher, has the banquet ended?"

As she was separated by the glass, Anika didn't see Penny.

Orlando, who only had a small window open, responded with a grunt.

Anika was a bit puzzled.

"Didn't Ms. Stuart come back with you?"

Thinking of that woman, Orlando's brows furrowed in annoyance.

"No, I won't be staying here tonight. There is no need to welcome me."

Anika nodded quickly, "Alright, Mr. Fletcher, take care."

Orlando didn't say anything and simply closed his eyes.

"Drive to the previous hotel."

Penny couldn't wait to leave this place, so upon hearing Orlando's words, she pressed the accelerator

almost all the way down.

Caught off guard, Orlando leaned back and glanced at her again.

Penny's face turned awkward, and she could only continue with her previous excuse.

"My foot hurts. Sorry, Mr. Fletcher, please bear with me."

"Hmm, go to the underground parking lot."

Penny nodded and was relieved. She had been worried that if the car window opened, and Anika

called her Ms. Stuart, then everything would be exposed.

They arrived at the hotel.

When she stepped on the brakes, her ankle throbbed with a piercing pain.

After getting out of the car, she took Orlando to the elevator.

The elevator went straight to the top-floor presidential suite. She went to the front desk to get the room

key, swiped it to open the room reserved for him, and then felt accomplished as she placed the card on

the nearby coffee table, showing a respectful attitude.

"Mr. Fletcher, I need to go back to Prodale County tonight. Can I have this room delivered tomorrow

night at 9 o'clock?"

Orlando opened the cabinet in the entrance hall and took out a medicine box, placing it on the coffee

table.

"Deal with your foot yourself."

Penny was taken aback, then she bent down, limping, and sat on the sofa.

The medicine box contained a pain-relieving spray. She leaned forward, causing the strap of her dress

to naturally slide down.

Orlando sat on the other side of the sofa, seeing her slender neck and delicate skin, he furrowed his

brows and averted his gaze.

Penny didn't pay much attention to his gaze and all her energy was focused on her injured ankle.

She took off her small shoes and realized how swollen her foot had become.

It looked like a bruised bun, somewhat terrifying.

Her fingertips trembled slightly as she sprayed the pain-relieving spray and then tried to wrap it with a

bandage.

However, the bandage here was different from the medical bandages she had used before. It wasn't a

medical bandage but a specialized ankle correction bandage.

She spent several minutes trying to wrap it, sweat dripping from her nose, but she couldn't manage to

finish.

Thinking of Noah waiting for her, she put down the bandage and looked up at Orlando.

Orlando naturally noticed her actions and thought she was seeking help. He instinctively started to get

up.

After all, refusing at this moment would seem ungentlemanly.

But what Penny said was unexpected.

"Mr. Fletcher, thank you for the medicine box. I'll leave now, and I'll definitely come by tomorrow night at

9 o'clock. However, since 9 o'clock is too late, can I make soup? I'm afraid other food might disrupt

your rest."
