Hus... band?!

[Sunrise Medical Center]

Penny waltzed through the hallway of the VIP ward and stopped in front of a private room. She knocked once before sliding the door open, catching sight of a man reclining on the hospital bed.

Dean slowly turned his head toward the entrance, smiling gently as soon as he met those brown-olive eyes. "You really came?"

"You said you were dying, so I thought I'd visit you as you took your last breath," Penny remarked as she casually entered, sitting down on the chair beside the bed. Her eyes scanned him before her lips curved down.

"Didn't you say you got into an accident?" she asked, displeased. "You don't look like you're dying to me."

"I got a few scratches."

Penny scratched her temple mildly, trying to keep her temper at bay. "Okay. Then, good?"

"Penny, you've arrived in the country and didn't even call me." Dean frowned. "Is that how you treat your boyfriend?"
