Chapter 177 He Would Come to Pick You Up
Orlando, who was on the way to the hospital, suddenly received a call from Colin.
Colin said a lot, and in the end, he finally came to the point.
"Orlando, at least she portrayed you once."
Orlando looked up at the sky and found it was already getting dark. And the street lights were on.
The atmosphere was very similar to that of that painting. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
There was no denying that she painted well.
The car finally stopped at the address given by Colin. The housing prices for this neighborhood were
not low. She once said she would move before, and it turned out that she'd moved here.
Penny didn't dare to let Orlando wait for her, so she'd come downstairs ten minutes in advance.
However, she'd soaked in the bathtub for so long until the water turned cold. Right at this moment, she
felt heavy-headed and somewhat dizzy.
She only reacted when Orlando's car stopped before her. And she pulled open the car door weakly.
"Mr. Fletcher, sorry to bother you."
Her voice sounded a bit husky and Orlando immediately sensed something wrong.
"Are you sick?" he asked blandly, landing his gaze on her cheeks.
Her cheeks looked abnormally red and her eyes looked watery.
Penny leaned against the backseat and closed her eyes.
"Yep, I'm not feeling well. I'm sorry for the car accident that happened to Ms. Fletcher. The police will
give you the final result."
She was probably on a fever as she felt burning all over.
She was going to the hospital to see Nancy now, but she had no time to buy a gift for the visit because
she was taking Orlando's car. She couldn't ask him to stop by the roadside and wait for her to buy a
gift. Therefore, she could only go empty-handed for now and give her a gift the next time.
It was very quiet in the car. Zane was driving the car in the front and had honked the horn several
times.
It was rush hour and there were many vehicles on the road, causing a traffic jam.
Orlando's car was stuck in the flow of traffic, unable to move.
Penny closed her eyes, feeling very muddled-headed and hot all over. She felt as if even the water in
her cells was being evaporated by the heat.
Sitting not far away from her, Orlando could feel the heat from her body.
Her cheeks looked so red because of the fever.
"Perry?"
Orlando knitted his brows and raised his hand to rub the center of his eyebrows. Right at this moment,
Nancy called him, asking him if she was with Perry.
"Orlando, Colin said she didn't feel well. Don't take her here."
Nancy didn't know that Orlando had already picked up Penny, so she continued, "Let her have a good
rest. She must have been scared today."
When Orlando was about to speak, he felt a head falling on his shoulder.
The heat from Penny's body passed through the fabric and reached him.
The car was cramped and he could even feel her hot breath spraying on his ear.
The breath permeated him, seeping into every pore of his body.
Orlando's body stiffened for a moment. He asked Zane after ending the call with Nancy, "Zane, is it
very congested ahead?"
"Mr. Fletcher, it's the rush hour for returning home and the roads in this area are always congested."
"Go back."
Zane was a bit dumbfounded, but he didn't say anything. He directly turned the car at the next
intersection.
The car returned to Penny's neighborhood and there was a pharmacy next to the neighborhood.
Orlando opened the car door and nudged Penny.
But Penny was feeling too unwell and everything in front of her appeared blurry.
"Mr. Fletcher, have we arrived?"
She subconsciously wanted to get out of the car, but her legs gave way and she directly fell toward the
ground.
The center of Orlando's brows twitched. He swiftly grabbed her and pulled her back.
The force caused both of them to fall back into the seat.
Zane had already gotten out of the car and wanted to help them. but he wisely got back into the car
when he saw this.
Penny realized she had bumped into someone and hurriedly moved back.
"Don't move."
Orlando said in a cold voice, "We're in your community. You have a fever. Call your husband and let
him come pick you up."
How could she go out with such a serious fever?
Penny raised her head in a gaze, her eyes looking watery. In fact, she didn't know what Orlando was
talking about and only nodded.
Orlando thought she'd understood and put her on a bench nearby.
"Wait here. He would come to pick you up."
