Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 399

Chapter 399: I’ll sleep well tonight

[Skyline Plaza: Zoren]

"Tada~!" Penny spread her arms excitedly while Zoren, seated on the couch, gazed at the coffee table. "Welcome to your new set of medicines!"

Zoren’s eyes scanned the table full of bottles. "That looks like ten times more than what I’m currently taking," he pointed out, looking up at Penny’s beaming face. "But sure."

Though the thought of overdosing crossed his mind, Zoren didn’t care. Even if it were literal poison, he would take it if she gave it to him.

"These aren’t just medicines, alright?" Penny placed a hand on her hip. "They’re vitamins."

"Vitamins?"

"Yes." She nodded. "Your problem isn’t your body—well, that comes second."

"Okay."

Penny squinted at Zoren, wondering why he wasn’t asking more questions, like any normal person would when suddenly handed loads of pills.

"Which one should I take first?" he asked, curious.

"Renren, aren’t you going to ask me what each bottle is for?"

"I’ve been taking medicine all my life," he explained flatly. "I just take it and see what works."

Penny opened her mouth to respond, then closed it again.

"If I take the medicines given to me by people I barely trust, I will definitely take anything you give me," he added with a reassuring smile. "So, which one should I take tonight?"

"Well..." she massaged her nape and cleared her throat before squatting down to organize the bottles. "This batch is for the morning, these are for lunch, and these are for the evening."

"That’s a lot."

Penny pressed her lips together and snapped her gaze to him. "I know it’s a lot, but they’ll help your body."

"Mhm." He nodded, not complaining. "Do you think they’ll help me get better?"

"Renren, your mind is a dangerous thing. Even though your problems are psychological, the damage to your body is real." A deep sigh escaped her. "These will help your body recover."

"I thought they were for my mind."

Her face lit up, and she hopped over to his side. "I’m the medicine for your mind," she teased, fluttering her eyelashes coquettishly.

Zoren slowly turned his head toward her. "Then why are you so far away?"

Instead of sitting right next to him, Penny had landed on the opposite end of the couch. Though he could reach her if he tried, he found her antics amusing.

"Hehe." Penny chuckled, thinking back on how they had ended up here.

As promised, Penny had come over after work, even bumping into Benjamin, who gave her a suspicious look. If Zoren hadn’t kicked him out, Benjamin might have stayed, but that wasn’t important.

The moment Zoren closed the door behind Benjamin, he hadn’t wasted any time embracing and kissing her. Thankfully, he stopped when she reminded him they needed to talk about something else. That was why she was keeping her distance from him now.

"Are you afraid of me?" he asked, raising a brow.

"Of course not! Why would I be afraid of you?" she replied quickly. "I’m just thinking about my family."

"What about them?"
