On the Brink of Collapse

545 Words
Jack was still holding a half-cut apple in his hand, and the smile on his face had disappeared. He looked at Linda lovingly lying on the hospital bed, then turned to Penny and said coldly, "What can't we talk about later?" Penny bit her lip and stared at him, silent, tears choking her eyes. When Jack saw her this scene, his heart was suddenly agitated. Linda was lying on the bed, seeing Jack's face beside her very clearly. She knew that Jack would never be able to see Penny crying. Although Penny did not know it, she knew clearly that Jack already had feelings for her in the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, he would not have been disappointed with her and forgiven her again and again. Before Jack could speak, she said, "Jack, your sister just finished the operation. She must be in pain, too. Why don't you go and cheer her up?" Linda deliberately said that Penny was looking for comfort, but in the eyes of the public, Linda with the multi-layer filter was generous and gentle, not as stingy as Penny. "What does she need to comfort? You are the one whose vitality has been damaged by the major operation. Have a good rest and stop thinking about it." Penny's lips quivered violently, unable to speak. Linda's surgery was successful and her strength was restored. Is she more vulnerable than she is? "Penny, how can you be so ungrateful? A roar of violence came from his ear. Penny shuddered and saw Alan, his father, standing up to him. He angrily pointed at her nose and scolded: "You have disgraced our family. You forced Jack to marry you while your sister was seriously ill. Do you have any shame? Your sister and Jack really love each other. Get divorce tomorrow!" With tears in her eyes and a proud expression on her face, Penny firmly raises her chin and holds her head proudly, even though she can't see the world. "I, Penny, bought this marriage with my life. There's nothing anyone can do." "She said clearly, every word spoken. Hoarse strong voice, red eyes and ruthless expression, let the ward of the collective body a shock, palpitation to look at the doorway of the emaciated woman is weak but implacable. For the first time, they saw her as a real threat. Alan felt humiliated by Penny in front of all his relatives and his soon-to-be son-in-law. He raised his trembling hand, pointed it at Penny's nose, and growled fiercely, "If I knew you'd grow up to be so heartless and shameless, I should have strangled you when you were born!" Penny raised his chin and looked coldly in Alan's direction. He wiped his eyes and sneered, "Strangle me? You've been thinking about this, haven't you? After all, I am a thorn in the side of your loving new family." "I'm a constant reminder that you have a dead wife, that you have made a terrible mistake, that you owe your life to a stupid woman. Are you guilty?" She stood there with her eyes open and spoke in a calm voice. There was no roar or fierce movement, but she conveyed a mood to everyone that she was on the verge of breaking down.
