Cruel people do exist

During Patricia and Zoren's first meeting…

Although Patricia didn't carry the same spirit or aura as Zoren remembered, she knew a lot of details about them. She knew even the smallest details, which Zoren was certain only they knew about. Therefore, he gave her the benefit of the doubt.

After all, who wouldn't want this woman to be Penny?

He had been waiting for her for years, coming to this place every Thursday without fail. No matter what the season, he would be here unless he was "trapped" in the hospital. But if it was just a mild fever, he would still come, just because he didn't want to think of the what-ifs.

"By the way, Renren, how's Renny?"

Zoren's smile stiffened as he slowly faced her. "Renny?"

"Mhm!" Patricia smiled from ear to ear, nodding. "Is he still with you?"

'Ah…' Zoren's smile remained as he let out a short laugh. 'Silly me.'
