Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175: This looks like the view I’d have in my coffin.

GASP!

Penny gasped for air and sat up instinctively. A surge of adrenaline coursed through the very ends of her nerves, making her heart race as if it were making up for its previous slow beat. Her mind felt as though it were sparking, her gaze now clearer than before.

"Hah... hah..." she panted, as if she had run a marathon.

"Penny, are you okay?"

She heard Zoren’s voice from beside her but didn’t react. All she could do was sit there motionless until she felt her heart slow down.

"Where are they?" she asked under her breath, facing her husband. But instead of focusing on the people who had done this to her, she panicked at the sight of his blood. "Renren! What happened?! Are you hurt?"

"No, I’m alright, but you..." Zoren’s eyes veered to her thigh.

His gaze made her turn to where he was looking, only to be reminded of her fight to stay conscious. Her mouth fell open in surprise.

"It’s not hurting," she said quietly, tempted to take out the knife just to see if it would hurt. However, she knew that was the wrong thing to do.

"Who did this?" Zoren asked softly, his eyes back on her. "Tell me who?"

Penny pursed her lips. "Me."

"You?"

"It’s a long story—" Penny stopped when she caught sight of figures in the corner of her vision. There, she saw Hugo and Atlas with Mark, Angel, Slater, and a few of her men running toward them.

When Zoren saw Penny lying unconscious, Mark quickly left to inform others of her condition and whereabouts. That’s why they were here. After all, this place was hidden behind a wall — a wall that looked like concrete but was actually a door. It was still within the territory, but a small section had been cut out for the sole purpose of concealment.

Fortunately, Zoren had come here and checked. Otherwise, they might have taken the whole night to find her.

"Miss Penny!" Mark shouted, followed by everyone else calling her name.

Penny just looked at them and opened her mouth before a sudden pain struck her head. "Ouch," she whispered, touching the side of her head.

"Penny, what is it?" Zoren asked, holding her shoulder to keep her still. "Penny."

She winced, one eye twitching. "I think the antidote contains... concentrated alcohol—" She stopped when she realized her rescue was near. "Angel, go over there. A child and a woman attacked me and left in that direction!"

Angel hadn’t even reached her when he turned, following the direction she pointed. A few of his men followed him, knowing the others could take care of Penny.

"Penny, are you alright?" Hugo was the first to reach her, gazing down with panic on his face. "You’re injured."

"Penny..." Atlas, who had slowed to a jog, muttered under his breath.

Soon, everyone had gathered around the couple, eyes on her. They immediately noticed the knife in her thigh.

"You!" Mark pointed at one of Penny’s men. "Weren’t you trained in more advanced first aid? Do something about her injury!"
