Chapter 17 Deliberately Finding Fault

Lily hid the expression in her eyes, but Penny caught it when she suddenly raised her head.

"Lily, what's wrong?"

Penny walked over, took Lily's hand, and asked in a comforting tone, "Is something troubling you?"

Lily shook her head and tactfully withdrew her hand.

"Thank you for asking."

Penny waved her hand, walked to the water dispenser, and poured a glass of water for Lily. "It's okay. Our hospital is the best in the city, and I know the orthopedic doctor well. Your husband's injury isn't serious. With a month of recuperation, he'll be fine."

Lily pursed her lips and said softly, "He's just my friend."

"Ah..."

Penny was surprised and then smiled awkwardly. "I'm really sorry. I didn't know."

"It's alright."

Those unaware of the truth were blameless, and Penny was just trying to help. Lily had no reason to be angry over such a trivial matter.
