Chapter 404 Will the Davis Family Release You? Lucy's illness made Kelvin anxious, but oddly relieved too. If she hadn't gotten leukemia, he might never have known Penelope was alive or that he had a sweet daughter.
It was a mix of bad and good luck.
Back in the ward, Lucy was asleep, her hand marked with needle pricks. Penelope tied a talisman to the bed.
"Lucy, I hope tomorrow all your pain ends. You'll be free, healthy, and strong," she whispered, kissing Lucy's forehead.
"Mommy," Lucy mumbled, drifting back to sleep. Kelvin felt warmth watching them. Penelope was his true love, and Lucy was his life's continuation-both were the most important and indispensable people in his life..

The surgery was at nine. At eight, a nurse cto take Lucy. Though usually brave, Lucy clung to Penelope, scared.
"Mommy, I don't want to go," she cried.
Penelope hugged her. "Lucy, don't be afraid. After this, you'll be healthy. No more hospital, fevers, or medicine." "But I'm scared," Lucy said.
"Daddy and I will be with you," Penelope reassured her. Lucy nodded, let go, and told the nurse, "Okay, I'm ready." "Lucy, you're so brave. Daddy's been taking medicine and getting injections for you. Don't let it go to waste," Kelvin said.
Lucy steeled herself. "Bye-bye, Daddy, Mommy. I won't cry. Don't worry!" Penelope forced a smile. "Bye-bye, Lucy." As the nurse wheeled Lucy away, Penelope's tears fell until Kelvin wiped them away.
"I have to go too," Kelvin said. "When you see us again, we'll both be healthy." Penelope nodded. Kelvin kept looking back, worried. Penelope felt embarrassed, wiped her eyes, and smiled. "I'll wait for you!" Kelvin nodded.
At the operating room door, Penelope stood alone until Timothy and Monica arrived.
"Don't worry. The surgery will be successful," Monica said. "Lucy is so cute and smart; she'll get through this!" "Yes, I'll wait here." "We'll wait with you," Monica said, holding her hand. "I'm Lucy's Godmother. I can't miss this." Timothy chimed in, "And I'm her Godfather." Monica shot back, "Since when?" "Why not? With my friendship with Kelvin, I qualify. If you can be the Godmother, why can't I be the Godfather?" Timothy argued.
It made sense, but Monica still felt something was off.

Before she could figure it out, Penelope said, "Godfather and Godmother should be a pair. Are you two a pair?" Monica instantly got it. "Timothy, you're taking advantage of me! I almost fell for it!" Timothy was surprised. "How am I taking advantage? You be the Godmother, I'll be the Godfather. We have no relationship." These two always argued when together, but it lightened Penelope's mood.
She teased, "What will you say if Lucy asks if Godfather and Godmother are a couple?" "No!" "No!" "You two have been single and know each other so well. Why not give it a try?" Penelope suggested. "Don't miss the chance and regret it later." "Mr. Foster has plenty of women around him. I don't want to join the crowd," Monica said.

Penelope watched them. They clearly m had feelings for each other but wouldn't admit it. What would it take for them to face their true feelings? Soon, Liam and Connor arrived. Everyone gathered at the operating room door, waiting for news.
Connor quietly asked Penelope, "What are you planning after Lucy's surgery?" "Take Lucy away," Penelope answered honestly. That was her plan.
"Are you sure you can leave?" "Kelvin promised me," Penelope said. "He won't go back on his word." His recent behavior had convinced her he truly understood love.
