    Chapter 120 He Got Hurt While Protecting Me


    Penny was startled; she saw Ondo''s fierce expression as he kicked the thug away.


    The thugs, realizing they had kicked a ho''s nest tonight, didn''t dare to linger. They clumsily helped


    each other up from the ground and hastily retreated.


    "Mr. Fletcher! I''ll take you to the hospital."


    Penny gripped Ondo''s hand tightly, her fingertips trembling.


    However, her high heels made it difficult for her to move, and her leg was in considerable pain.


    Ondo frowned; the injury was on his right hand, which would be inconvenient.


    He watched Penny kick off her high heels, standing barefoot on the ground. This unexpected move


    made his face show a rare trace of concern.


    If Keely found out that Ondo got hurt because of her, she might unleash her fury.


    Plus, Penny owed him a favor tonight.


    Penny got into Ondo''s car, simultaneously grabbing Noah, who had been nning to escape.


    "You''reing with me too!"


    Noah looked miserable and somewhat afraid of Penny. He hesitated and, seeing the luxurious car, he


    dared not get in.


    Penny didn''t waste time talking to him; she pushed him into the passenger seat.


    Zane, the driver, saw Ondo''s injury and immediately stepped on the gas pedal.


    The car quickly headed towards the nearest hospital.


    A few minutes earlier, the car Penny had exited had caused a traffic jam due to her abrupt departure.


    She had been in a hurry to catch Noah and hadn''t noticed that it was not a suitable spot for parking.


    She hadn''t realized she was in a no-parking zone because she had been hurrying to apprehend Noah.


    As the honking and angry shouts from the blocked traffic grew louder, Lana noticed themotion and


    informed the driver.


    "Let''s move ahead. I''ll call Penny and let her know. Maybe she''ll catch a ride with someone else to the


    Fletcher''s mansion."


    The driver had no choice; the party was about to start, and it was inappropriate to bete.


    So, the car proceeded towards the Fletcher''s mansion.


    As Lana watched the mansion draw nearer, anticipation and excitement rose.


    This would be her first public and significant encounter with Ondo.


    Before, she had only observed him from afar, and he probably saw her as just another passerby.


    There had been a flicker of somethingplex in his eyes during theirst meeting, even a hint of


    annoyance.


    That was fine; as long as she continued to work hard, she believed that one day, when she stood by his


    side, he would like and treasure her.


    Her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her palms grew sweaty.


    She took a deep breath, trying to maintain a poised demeanor.


    As for Penny, the fact that she wasn''ting tonight was even better.


    Lana didn''t want her to steal her thunder.

    Penny had arrived at the hospital, sweating profusely from anxiety.


    Seeing her in her elegant g attire, the doctor was somewhat surprised but couldn''t deny her beauty.


    "Doctor, please check his hand; it needs stitches."


    Ondo hadn''t been in the best mood to begin with. This was the first time he had been injured


    protecting someone else, especially someone he had only known briefly.


    He hadn''t intended to block that knife; he acted instinctively, thinking that a scar on her fair back would


    be unsightly.


    So, his body acted faster than his brain, blocking the sharp de.


    Seeing Penny so concerned, herplexion changing with worry, he found it intriguing.


    It was as if he was witnessing a different side of her for the first time since he met her.


    Even that first night they woke up together, she had been soposed; he had thought she''d never


    disy any other emotions.


    This thought brought him a subtle and barely noticeable sense of pleasure.


    Penny''s phone rang at that moment, and it was Rex calling.


    Seeing the doctor was getting Ondo stitched, she quickly gave the doctor a brief exnation and


    headed to the corridor to answer the call.


    "Rex, I''m sorry, Ondo got hurt protecting me. He''s at the hospital getting stitches, so I don''t think we


    can make it tonight."


    Hearing that Ondo was even willing to get injured for Penny, Rex had no intention of ming her.


    "Penny, are you okay?"


    As for Ondo, he was a man, and a few injuries were no big deal.


    "I''m fine, but he''s seriously injured. It''s all my fault."


    "You silly child, he''s your husband, and protecting you is his duty. Ondo did well this time. You stay


    there and take care of him. There will be other opportunities to introduce you to others. There''s no


    rush, and don''t me yourself."


    Penny was touched. She had always known that Rex was kind to her, so her guilt for secretly signing


    an agreement with Ondo weighed heavily on her.


    In the ward, the doctor had already stitched up the wound on Ondo''s hand. He heard his phone ring,


    and when he saw it was Rex, he felt slightly annoyed.


    If he didn''t attend the party, Rex might think he wasing up with excuses to avoid that woman


    again!
