    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 Ondo when she walked her dog Niko.


    Upon hearing this, Ondo 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 difort. Was she forcing herself?


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


    foot.


    But she had caused such serious injuries to Ondo and dyed 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 Ondo 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 outter?"


    Acting to the end.


    Ondo 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


    sweating due to the pain.


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


    her body.


    The car stopped at the entrance of Hills Vi, 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."


    Ondo 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 Vi.


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


    "Mr. Fletcher, has the banquet ended?"


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


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


    Anika was a bit puzzled.


    "Didn''t Ms. Stuarte back with you?"


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


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


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


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


    "Drive to the previous hotel."


    Penny couldn''t wait to leave this ce, so upon hearing Ondo''s words, she pressed the elerator


    almost all the way down.


    Caught off guard, Ondo leaned back and nced 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 Ondo 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 aplished as she ced 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?"


    Ondo opened the cab in the entrance hall and took out a medicine box, cing 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.


    Ondo 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 be.


    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 Ondo.


    Ondo 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 definitelye by tomorrow night at


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


    your rest."
