Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Let him keep her around.

Benjamin knew a thing or two about handling medical emergencies. However, this was beyond his expertise. All he could do was watch with bated breath, praying to all the gods he knew to spare his boss.

This wasn’t the first time Benjamin had found himself in such a situation. In fact, he had been in this situation far too many times. Even so, it was something he would never get used to.

Only when everyone seemed to have calmed down did Benjamin heave a sigh of relief.

After the doctors helped Zoren change and carried him back to bed, everyone watched as Penny administered medication to him. No one spoke a word, listening to Penny’s instructions before they were all sent away so she could monitor him. She needed their strength if another problem arose.

Which explains why Penny remained alone in the master’s bedroom with Benjamin.

Seated in the chair beside the bed, Penny stared at him and touched his forehead once again. "He’s still hot," she muttered, "but not like earlier."

Benjamin pressed his lips together, staring at her back. He opened and closed his mouth, but no words came out.

"He will be fine," she reassured him without looking at him, as if she could read what was going on in his mind. "As long as I’m here, Renren will be fine."

Benjamin held his breath, staring at her with slight shock. But the longer he kept his gaze on her, the more he felt a bit relaxed. For some reason, despite her petite frame, she appeared broad and strong.

"Thank goodness," he breathed out, almost in tears. "I thought he was going to die."

Benjamin dragged his feet to the couch, patting his chest in relief. His knees were still shaking, but he could finally breathe normally again.

"Though I’m not sure about his eyes," she added under her breath, making him look at her once more. Penny slowly raised a hand and stroked his cheek with her fingertips. "Renren, you said you’re going to get better. I will not forgive you if it’s a lie."

She pressed her lips together, staring at him with mixed emotions. Despite her fierce leadership earlier, her hands were trembling.

’Don’t scare me like this,’ she whispered. ’It’s really stressful and scary.’

Just today, everything was going well. Who would have thought their second date would come so soon?

"Mr. Vitt," she called. "Thank you for calling me tonight."

"Huh?"

"I’m glad I’m here," she said quietly and softly. "If his eyes don’t recover by tomorrow, I’ll find someone who can help him."

"Miss Penny, do you think he will recover his eyesight?"

"Renren’s problem is psychological. He was burning up, and even last time, he was also running a fever. The fever could have triggered his brain into thinking about his blindness," she explained. "I trust him. He said he doesn’t want to go blind, right?"

"Y—yes."

’She really cares for him,’ he thought, reminded of the time Penny discovered that Renren and Zoren were the same person. ’She did change after that.’
