Penelope walked into the VIP ward carrying a pot of bird's nest soup, ready to take care of Yuna Lockwood.
After their argument last night, Penelope was furious. But then again, what mother would ever see her daughter as an enemy? No matter the quarrels, Penelope's heart still ached for her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYuna was still asleep when Penelope arrived. After setting down the bird's nest soup, she gently pulled back the blanket to check on Yuna's wounds. The blisters had been lanced, and sareas were beginning to scab over. If all went well, Yuna would be discharged soon.
Thinking this, Penelope opened the thermos, ready to pour the soup into a bowl. But it had gone cold.
Luckily, Yuna's VIP room had a small kitchen. Penelope decided to reheat the soup, trying to be as quiet as possible to avoid waking Yuna.
However, her worries were unnecessary, as Yuna woke up shortly after Penelope entered the kitchen. Seeing the condition of her leg, Yuna was furious. The blisters weren't from rescuing someone from a fire last night.
Linda had called her right after starting the fire, and while Penelope and Hackett weren't paying attention, she had poured boiling water all over her leg. All to make it seem like she was injured while playing the hero, contrasting herself with Marguerite Lockwood's inaction to elevate her own status.
But damn Marguerite's luck! Frederick Winston's untimely arrival had ruined all her plans! All for nothing! Cursing Marguerite in her heart, Yuna limped to the bathroom to freshen up. When she cout, she saw a bruised middle-aged woman peering into her room. Instinctively wanting to send her away, Yuna realized upon a closer look that the woman was familiar.
Wasn't this... Zoe? Why was she so badly hurt? What happened! Yuna's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly opened the door, asking tentatively, "Mom?" At that moment, Penelope in the kitchen heard the noise, thinking Yuna was calling her. Just as she was about to step out, she heard Yuna's shocked voice: "How did you get so hurt? Who did this to you?" Penelope was confused, standing at the door, watching Yuna embrace the middle-aged woman.
"Mom, don't cry! What happened? Did Dad hit you?" Mom? This woman... was Zoe? Penelope stopped in her tracks, cleverly stepping aside to hide herself. She despised this woman who took her daughter away, but knowing Zoe had raised Yuna, it made sense for Yuna to call her "mom." At this moment, Zoe was obviously deeply distressed, probably seeking comfort from Yuna. In such a situation, Penelope felt it wasn't her place to interrupt.

She didn't mean to eavesdrop, but Zoe's distressed voice was too loud to ignore. "Who else but your dad! He m was so rough, nearly broke my bones! Ndidn't want to tell you, but when I was getting treated, I heard from the nurse you were hospitalized, so I had to cand see how you were doing! How are you? Are you okay with the Fitzgerald family? Have Hackett and Penelope suspected anything?" Yuna was confused but, seeing no one else in the room, she freely expressed her doubts.
"What could they suspect? You saw the DNA test; there was no mistake. But what exactly is going on? Wasn't Marthe Fitzgerald's daughter? How did it turn out to be me?" Zoe helped Yuna sit on the bed, sighing, "Marguerite is the Fitzgerald's daughter, and so are you!" Yuna was totally confused: "What? Did Penelope give birth to twins?"
"No, dear. Marguerite is Hackett and Penelope's daughter. And you..." Zoe paused, making eye contact with geye Yuna before continuing, "You are Hackett's daughter with me. In other words, you're the Fitzgerald family's secret child!"
