Chapter 93 The Chosen One
A few people supported Rex back home, and Rex couldn't help but make a call to Penny.
At this time, Penny was still standing alone in the corridor, feeling an icy chill run through her bones as
she recalled the doctor's words.
Finally, the sound of her phone ringing snapped her out of her dazed state.
With stiff fingertips, she attempted to brush away the coldness by rubbing her hands together before
answering the call.
However, the screen of her mobile phone revealed that she had missed the opportunity to answer
Rex's call.
She quickly called back and apologized, "Grandpa, I'm so sorry. My father suddenly got hospitalized,
and I've been by his side. So, I missed picking you up."
Rex reassured her, "Penny, what happened? Is he better now? Don't worry about dinner tonight. Just
stay with your father."
Tears welled up in Penny's eyes.
Her father had been diagnosed with advanced-stage liver cancer, and she felt overwhelmed by the
weight of the situation.
She didn't know who else she could confide in about her father's condition.
As for Philip, they had quarreled just now.
As for the Fletcher family, it was even impossible to tell them. Although Rex had shown kindness
towards her, she hesitated to burden others with her troubles, fearing they might think she was
deliberately seeking sympathy.
"He's not feeling well, and he hasn't woken up yet. Grandpa, I bring you a gift as an apology and
Orlando will give it to you," Penny quickly explained.
Rex smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite with me. I also have a gift for you. I'll ask Orlando
to bring it to you."
Penny's eyes welled up with tears.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa," she whispered, her voice tinged with gratitude.
The sound of Penny calling him "Grandpa" warmed his heart even further.
After ending the call, he retrieved a box from the nearby side table and handed it to Orlando, instructing
him, "This is a gift for Penny, give it to her. And Cason from the Stuart family is currently in the hospital.
When you find the time, bring a gift and visit him. As her father-in-law, you need to fulfill that role."
Rex genuinely cared for Penny, and he had no intentions of harboring any arrogance toward other
members of the Stuart family.
He had already investigated Penny's life over the years.
Her life was neither good nor bad. The main issue was that she was too strong-willed, and if she
suffered any grievances, she wouldn't tell anyone.
She even went to Prodale County for high school and encountered that kind of teacher in college.
Rex wanted to help her several times, but Penny stopped him and insisted on resolving matters
independently.
And she made it.
Recently, the Chace Hardy of Chatville University, whose surname is Bender, was dismissed.
When Rex thought of Fiona being from the Bender family, he sneered.
"People from the Bender family, raised in such an environment, can only resort to opportunistic tricks,"
Hearing Rex suddenly mention the Bender family, Orlando furrowed his brows. "Grandpa, why are you
blaming the Bender family?"
Rex let out a cold chuckle upon seeing Orlando defend the Bender family. "Haven't you heard about RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
what Fiona has done at the university? It's clear that the Bender family has no potential for growth."
Orlando flipped through the documents and replied, "Fiona is Fiona, she cannot represent the whole
Bender family. Grandpa, you should treat them from a more objective perspective."
Rex still felt unease and tightly gripped his cane.
He believed that Angie wasn't a good person either.
He wouldn't give her any chance to step into the Fletcher family.
And the chosen one could only be Penny!
Anyone who dared to cause trouble would be his enemy!
"Remember to visit Cason at the hospital this week. He's your father-in-law, so you should show some
concern for him," Rex reminded.
Orlando responded casually, "Understood."
He planned to have Zane deliver a few items to Cason later.
Rex nodded with satisfaction as getting his promise.
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Cason had already woken up, but his body still ached all over.
He glanced at Helen, who was standing by his bedside, and furrowed his brow. "How did I end up in
the hospital?"
Unaware of the true severity of Cason's condition, Helen's response was casual.
She had grown accustomed to his constant complaints about bodily discomfort, usually alleviated with
a couple of painkillers. So, she answered nonchalantly, "You had a collapse at Hills Villa."
"What about Penny?" he asked.
Helen's face visibly soured at the mention of Penny.
"The nurse took her to the cafeteria for a meal. The hospital offers specially tailored meals for patients,
and if she misses her designated time, she'll have to wait for the next one. If you're unsatisfied with it, I
can have our chef prepare something for you later."
Cason coughed weakly, a heavy sigh escaping his lips.
"Helen, do you think Penny resents me for pushing her into the Fletcher family?"
