    Chapter 617


    Kelly waspletely confused. She had no idea why there were two versions of the rumor she heard.


    Penelope’s words differed from what she had heard from the servants.


    That was strange!


    When Kelly returned to her room, she immediately called the butler and asked where the servants who


    brought her food were.


    “Miss Kelly, are you asking about Lorena and Hanes?” The butler recalled.


    “Yes.” Kelly nodded. These were the two people who had been delivering food to her for the past few


    days.


    “What a coincidence.” The butler looked apologetic. “Lorena and Hanes are from the same hometown.


    I heard that there was a flood in their hometown. The two resigned their jobs and went home in the


    morning.”


    ‘How could there be such a coincidence?‘ thought Kelly.


    Kelly stood up and asked the butler, “Have you heard their gossip about Penelope and Mr. Walter?”


    The butler smiled. “Middle–aged women of their age like to gossip the most. The gossip between them


    is all only rumors without proof. Miss Kelly, please don’t take it seriously.”


    ‘Oh God!‘ eximed Kelly deep down.


    Kelly sat back in her chair and sighed.


    She was too unlucky!


    If Lorena and Hanes’s gossip was nonsense andn had not left the guesthouse for the past few days,


    then it was inappropriate for her to go over today so coincidentally.


    If she were Penelope, she would be angry too.


    It made her look like a scheming bitch!


    This should not go on! Kelly decided. Tomorrow! She must leave tomorrow!


    So, she decided to bid farewell to Mr. Collins immediately.


    In the guesthouse, Ian had locked himself in his room and was listening to the recording. The more he


    listened, the angrier he became.


    He picked up the recording pen and threw it to the ground!


    He recalled Kelly’s answers during the day. He was not even in the top five. The more he thought about


    it, the angrier he became!


    ‘Hmph, since she didn’t like me, I shouldn’t have a crush on her either!‘ thought Ian.


    Anyway, he had already lost his memory and could not remember the feelings between them. As long


    as he smashed the recording pen, he would have nothing to do with her anymore!


    Ian was a decisive person. Once he made a decision, he would immediately carry it out.


    He called Cyril over and nned to leave the Walter family’s guesthouse.


    Before he could say anything, he saw Cyril’s anxious and panicked expression. “Oh no, Mr. Walterl”


    Ian frowned and looked at Cyril coldly. “Why are you so flustered? If you have something to say, say it!”


    Cyril gulped and slowly said, “There’s news from the front yard that Miss Kelly has bid farewell to Mr.


    Collins and is leaving this ce!”


    “What?”n mmed the table and stood up abruptly.


    It was as if arge hand had grabbed his heart, causing him to be in so much pain that he wished he


    was dead.


    Suppressing his palpitations,n asked, “Why did she leave?”


    “Miss Kelly said she had stayed here too long and should already be leaving.”


    Ian nodded. His lowered head made it impossible to see his emotions.


    After saying that, Cyril suddenly remembered Ian had called him over. He quickly asked, “Mr. Walter,


    did you ask me toe over to do something for you?”


    Ian’s heart skipped a beat. Then, he pointed at the fragments of the recording pen on the ground as if


    nothing had happened. “This recording pen is broken. Go buy a new one.”


    “Yes, Mr. Walter.” Cyril left after receiving the instruction.


    As soon as Cyril left, Ian immediately felt ufortable. He looked at the shattered recording pen on


    the ground as if his heart had been shattered.


    ‘Did that heartless woman not care about me at all?” thoughtn.


    ‘She left without thinking about me at all!


    At the thought of this, Ian’s heart hammered again.


    On Kelly’s side, after speaking to Dn, she began to pack her luggage. She did not have many things.


    Most of them were sent over by Dn. There was no need to pack them. She could just stay here.


    It wasn’t like she wasn’ting back. She would continue using it the next time she went back.


    After packing up, Kellyy on the bed in a daze. Looking at the white ceiling, she could not help but


    think ofn.


    To be honest, that guy was good to her. Whatever she liked, he would immediately send it over.


    Whatever she hated, he would directly deal with it.


    If he hadn’t been too controlling and restrictive, they wouldn’t havee this far.


    ‘Sigh, let’s not think about it anymore. There’s no point in thinking so much.


    There was no way I could be his pet bird and be in the cage for the rest of my life.


    After a good sleep, Kelly weed the morning with full spirit.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as she woke up, she received bad news. Dn had high blood pressurest


    night and had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He had just returned in the morning.


    “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” It was rare for Kelly to be angry. As she ran forward, she questioned


    the servant who came to inform her.


    The servant lowered her head. “Mr. Collins doesn’t want me to tell you. He’s afraid of disturbing your


    rest.” “What are you talking about?” Kelly’s eyes were red. “Mr. Collins is already in the hospital. How


    can I sleep?” When they arrived at the living room, there was already a circle of people around Dn.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Penelope and Millie’s eyes were red as theyined that Dn didn’t tell them.


    “I am fine. I knew you would cry, so I didn’t tell you in case you were worried.” Seeing Kellying


    over, Dn waved at her.


    Kelly quickly went over and asked gently, “Mr. Collins, are you alright?”


    “It’s fine. It’s all old illness.” Dn chuckled. “As long as you don’t despise me and stay by my side


    every day, I’ll be happy.”


    Kelly smiled through her tears. “Alright, as long as you don’t mind me being here, I’ll stay here to


    apany you.”


    “Really?” Dn’s eyes lit up. “You’re not leaving?”


    “I’m not leaving.” Kelly rested her head on Dn’s arm. “I’ll stay here with you.”


    Ian had also heard about Dn’s illness and came to visit him.


    As soon as he entered the house, Penelope pounced on him. Her eyes were filled with tears and


    dependence. “Mr. Walter, you’re here? Boohoo, you don’t know how scared I was. Fortunately, Mr.


    Collins is fine.”


    Ian was impatient. He suppressed his temper and did not push Penelope away, allowing her to grab his


    sleeve.


    Kelly also saw this scene. Her gaze fell on the sleeve that Penelope grabbed, and she forgot to retract


    her gaze even after a while. In the past, she had also held Ian’s sleeve like this.


    He had a bad temper and was obsessed with cleanliness. He hated it the most when others touched


    him.


    Other than Kelly and whoever took the initiative to shake other people’s hands, no one else could touch


    him at all. Kelly did not expect that only a few days had passed, yet Penelope could already pull his


    wrist and his sleeve.


    Kelly lowered her head and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.


    She secretly warned herself not to let her imagination run wild and not to feel ufortable. This was


    nothing. Penelope was taking the initiative to pursuen. Their rtionship would be closer day


    by day, and they might even get married.


    She had to ept this reality as soon as possible.


    Her rationality kept reminding her, but emotionally, Kelly could not help but feel disappointed.


    It was like something that had once belonged to her. It could not be chased away or thrown away.


    Then, one day, this thing suddenly disappeared and became someone else’s.
