Chapter 254 If You WantDead, Just FollowConnor felt that it didn't matter whether he lived or not; he just hoped Penelope could start a new life soon! Next door in theward.
Kelvin stood straight, staring at the doctor. "How is she? Is she okay?" The moment she collapsed, his heart nearly stopped! She can't be in trouble! "So far, nothing unusual," the doctor examined carefully. "I think it's just emotional agitation causing her to faint. A good sleep will help, but she should avoid emotional ups and downs." "How long will she sleep?" "About three hours." Kelvin sat by the bedside, tightly holding Penelope's hand.
She was drifting further and further away from him.
Only when she was asleep could he be this close to her, holding her hand.
Kelvin could imagine how cold and hateful Penelope's eyes would be when she woke up and looked at him! "I didn't force Grace to death, nor did I anger her. I even swore the oath she asked for, but she..." Kelvin's throat bobbed. "The last person she saw before she died was me." Grace died in front of him who was the only witness.
The conversation between him and Grace was now known only to him.
He had no witnesses.
And no one would believe him.
"Penelope, what will it take for you to believe me? I promised Grace I would protect you for a lifetime." God must be playing a cruel joke on him.
He could only accept his fate.
With the family feuds, the death of their child, and now Grace's passing, the gulf between him and Penelope had grown insurmountably wide.
Kelvin wondered. 'did I really not deserve love?' He quietly stayed by Penelope's side.

She didn't speak, making Kelvin uneasy. "Penelope?" Penelope turned her head to look at him, then propped herself up on the bed.
Her emotions were very calm, without any expression. Her movements were slow but not hesitant.
This version of her made Kelvin even more anxious.
"Where are you going?" He grabbed her wrist. "You need to rest in bed." Penelope pulled her hand back and calmly replied, "I need to take care of my mom's funeral." Without the screams, shouts, or blows to Kelvin that had characterized their past encounters, she walked out silently, not uttering a single word of blame.
This Penelope was truly like a walking corpse.
"Penelope!" Kelvin took a long stride and blocked her way.
"Don't be like this. You can cry, hit me, vent your anger, but don't hold it in!" He couldn't bear to see her like this; it pained him too much.
Kelvin now realized that when someone is in extrgrief, they beccalm. He was terrified of this quiet Penelope.
Penelope asked softly, "Will acting like a shrew bring my mom back to life?" She bypassed Kelvin and continued walking out, not even glancing at him.
She couldn't be too sad, couldn't drown in her sorrow.
Because she still had to think about the child in her belly.

The bed was neatly made, with new sheets and pillowcases, and the floor was spotless, with no trace of Grace having lived there.
Grace's presence had been completely erased.
"Where's my mom?" Penelope asked the nurse, "She was staying here." "She's been sent to the morgue." "Okay, thank you." Penelope walked towards the destination.
As she turned, she bumped into Kelvin's arms.
Kelvin was about to hug her, but she immediately stepped back two steps.
"Can you just disappear?" Penelope asked, "You're only getting in my way by following me!" "I can help you." "Disappearing from my life forever would be the biggest help! Kelvin, can you givespeace?

Kelvin was about to follow when he heard her say, "If you wantdead, then follow me. There are plenty of En empty spots in the morgue." His steps cto a halt.
Along the way, everyone who saw Penelope avoided her.
Because in her current state, she was terrifying.

The morgue was eerie and cold, 50 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than outside.
Connor was combing Grace's hair.
As he did, he said, "You always loved looking beautiful. When we first got together, you always wore two pigtails. Your hair was so smooth, and with your dimples, I fell for you at first sight." "I was busy with work, surgeries lined up every day, and you would cook and bring meals to my desk. My favorite was Clam Chowder."
"The night before our wedding, I was still working late and didn't 't spend enough twith you. Now that I think about it, we had too little ttogether." Penelope listened silently, not interrupting.
Her parents had always had a great relationship, and she had witnessed it firsthand.
She grew up in a loving family environment and was happy.
Everything changed tically when Kelvin showed up! Grace had already been dressed in new clothes, looking very clean and tidy, even with makeup on, as if she were just asleep.
