The next day…
A soft moan echoed through the room as Penny slowly woke from a deep slumber. Stretching her arms and legs, she blinked her eyes open. Unlike last night, she felt much better—completely recharged. Sitting up, her gaze landed on the chair beside her bed.
A small smile appeared on her face as she noticed a bowl and some towels on the side table. Although no one was there now, she knew someone had looked after her during the night.
"Was it Second Brother?" she wondered with a smile, recalling that Hugo had been with her last night. "Or Mom?"
After all, it was Allison who had woken her up for some warm soup and medicine. Either way, Penny appreciated her family's care, even though she was an adult.
