Chapter 310

Penny was crying so hard that she was trembling all over.

Seeing Penny like this, Susan hesitated for a moment before reaching out to give her a comforting pat on the shoulder.

“Susan, can you ever forgive me?” Penny, holding Susan’s hand firmly, gazed at her, her eyes brimming with tears.

Susan squeezed her hand back, speaking softly, “What’s done is done. The things you did before didn’t‘ really hurt me. But now, you’ve actually saved my life, Penny. I owe you big time. Compared to that, all those past issues seem pretty insignificant, don’t they?”

Touched, Penny’s eyes welled up, “Susan, it’s so nice of you.”

Susan smiled, gently wiping away Penny’s tears, “Alright, no more crying.”

Penny’s emotions started to steady, and she held Susan’s hand firmly, “Susan, even if you’re not upset with me, I’m still really scared.”

“What for?” Susan asked.

Penny, through her tears, said, “Eason doesn’t remember that month, so he doesn’t know what I’ve done. But if he finds out about those experiments he did with you and it all comes back to him, he’ll realize how I selfishly interfered. Eason… he’s definitely going to be mad at me.”

Susan reassured her, “It’s just me, Ben, and Eason who know about the test. As long as Ben and I keep quiet, he’ll be none the wiser. And even if his memory comes back, after seeing how hard you worked to save me, he couldn’t possibly hold it against you.”

“But…” Penny still looked anxious.

“There, there. I’m here,” Susan said softly, “Trust me, whether Eason regains his memory or not, your relationship with him won’t change.”

Dreame INSTALL Penny’s eyes grew even redder as she looked at Susan.

-After a long moment, she nodded heavily.

Susan tenderly helped Penny wash her face and calm her emotions.

Only when Penny’s mood had completely stabilized did Susan call in Judith and Ben.

Judith and Ben, whether they sensed something or not, didn’t ask any further questions.

Inside the car, Susan glanced at Ben, “Aren’t you going to ask what Penny told me?”

“Alright, what did Penny tell you?” Ben asked amicably.

Susan looked at him, somewhat speechless, but still honestly relayed the matter.

Having said that, she turned to Ben, “Let’s keep our earlier run–in with Eason between us.”

Ben nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly, “Sounds interesting.”

He looked rather thoughtful.

Susan replied with frustration, “Are you on about your conspiracy theories again? Do you really believe Penny would sacrifice her legs just to keep this quiet? It doesn’t add up. Covering up the test results was a minor thing. Even if Eason finds out, it would just cause a bit of resentment. The idea that she’d risk her legs for such a slim chance? That’s a stretch.”

Keep this in mind: car accidents could happen when you least expect them.

Even though Penny was limping, it was a close call during the accident. The entire car had flipped over onto her legs. It could have easily cost her a limb.

To conceal such a trivial matter with the price of her leg seemed implausible.

This wasn’t something a normal person could do.

Ben cleared his throat, “Look, I’m not one for conspiracy theories. Fine, fine, I’ll drop the subject with Eason.”

Subconsciously, Ben did harbor some conspiratorial thoughts.

But what Susan said wasn’t wrong either.

What Penny asked for, and what she was willing to give, were worlds apart.

Even a fool wouldn’t make such a deal.

Not to mention, Penny was a smart person.

Only then did Susan turn around, “Just keep it in mind.”

In the hospital room, Judith had also been persuaded to leave.

Finally, only Penny remained there.

The gentle smile on Penny’s lips quickly faded, her expression shifting to one of indifference in a flash.

She stared blankly out the window.

Outside the window, a gentle breeze stirred, the scenery exceptionally beautiful.

Penny reached out, rubbing her feet that still lacked sensation, her eyes slightly unfocused.

Was it really worth it, trading a lifetime of disability for Susan’s promise?

Perhaps others wouldn’t think so.

But she felt it was very worthwhile..

She wanted to remain an image of perfection and flawlessness in Eason’s eyes.

She couldn’t stand the thought of Eason seeing her at her worst: selfish and indifferent.

Right now, Eason wasn’t clinging to the memories of that month. Without external triggers, he might never remember it for his entire life.

But maintaining contact with Susan ran the risk of her eventually making a mistake. And if Eason began to probe, he’d surely uncover their past dealings and potentially regain his memory.

This was the last thing she wanted to happen.

Previously, fearing that Eason would despise her after discovering the truth, she was tormented day and night, hardly sleeping.

But things were going to be different.

For such a small price, she could finally sleep peacefully.

For one, as long as Susan and Ben kept quiet, Eason might never remember it for his whole life.

Secondly, even if Eason accidentally remembered, with her selfless act of saving Susan, he probably wouldn’t blame her too much.

Thinking of Eason’s face, Penny’s lips curved into a soft, involuntary smile.

Penny thought, “Eason! If you keep smiling at me, keep being kind to me, I’d do just about anything for that.”

Even without any direct issues, she was open to playing nice with Susan.

After all, Susan was now in her debt. Knowing her the way she did, Penny was certain Susan would have her back from now on. And thanks to this, the Nicholas family would surely value her even more.

Even if Susan came back to the Nicholas family down the line, Penny was confident her own place in the family would remain secure.

If things could continue like this, she could be a good sister to Susan for life.

As night fell, Penny slept more soundly and sweetly than ever this evening.

cy cans only Half a month later, Penny was discharged from the hospital.

Judith, Penny, and Eason were still living next door to the Landor residence.

Due to Susan letting down her guard, the two families interacted more frequently.

Once her defenses were down, Penny was a very likable person.

She was gentle and understanding.

0947 As long as she wanted, she could always speak right to your heart, making you feel constantly comfortable.

As for Susan, she was also quite approachable. Once she really saw someone as a friend, the experience of her genuine warmth and sincerity was something you just couldn’t resist.

Moreover, Susan and Penny were only a year apart, so they naturally had a lot in common. After some time together, they indeed developed a real friendship.

Even someone as calm as Penny began to feel that having a friend like Susan was a very good thing.

Of course, the premise was that their interests wouldn’t conflict.

Penny sincerely hoped that they would never have a day of conflict.
