It's okay, papa!

Allison had always been a frail person. Hence, Charles often stayed by her side throughout all of her pregnancies. So, seeing her so pale and weak, Penny was worried. 

With the book in her arms, Penny made her way to her parents' room. She just wanted to check, or perhaps, to ask Butler Jen about Allison's condition to ease her worry. She didn't want to disturb Allison's rest.

"Sir, what happened with your meeting with Mrs. Jessa Cortez?" Butler Jen asked worriedly. 

Charles sighed as he glanced back at the door behind him. "Not good."

Butler Jen quickly deduced what happened with only those two words.

Jessa was the one who raised Penny all these years. Butler Jen also heard that the woman exploited Penny at a very young age, exposing her to gambling and all sorts of stuff. Just by that, one could already paint what kind of woman Jessa was. 

Fortunately, Penny grew up into a brilliant and well-behaved child despite her environment.
