Chapter 402
Grace halted in her tracks, her hands clenched and then relaxed.
“I know I screwed up a lot with you guys.” Christopher said, “I’ve arranged a nice position at the company for Allison. Tell her she can
come over.”
“No need,” Grace said firmly, “Allie’s job is just fine. You don’t need to worry.”
Christopher sighed, “Grace, you’re still as stubborn.”
Grace left, pushing the door open. She was worried sick about Penelope, but couldn’t go see her.

After leaving the hospital, Grace took out her phone, leaned against a wall, and kept looking at the news. The reports said Penelope was crushed by a chandelier, bleeding heavily, and had a miscarriage. It scared the crap out of her.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Allison. She wiped away her tears and answered, “Hey, Allie.”

“Allie, I went out to get groceries.” Grace could think of no other excuse.
Allison’s lips tightened, “Mom, I already bought groceries. When are you coming home?”
“I’ll be home soon, Allie. Weren’t you supposed to be in class today?” Grace asked.
“I didn’t have class.” Allison said.
From a store not far from the eastern entrance of the hospital, Allison saw Grace leaving the hospital and getting on a bus. She gripped her phone tight. So Grace really was at the hospital. Was she there to see Penelope?
Her concern for Penelope seemed excessive, as if Penelope was her own daughter.
Allison was startled by her own thought, but quickly dismissed it.
Impossible. How could Penelope be her biological daughter? She was the Flanagan family’s daughter.
Allison took out her phone and called Lucian’s assistant, Shawn.
Shawn picked up immediately, “Ms. Zimmer.”
“Shawn, how’s Penelope?” Allison asked.
Shawn choked on her question. He knew the tension between Allison and Penelope, but didn’t expect Allison to ask him.
He coughed and glanced at Lucian sitting at his desk, mouthing, “It’s Ms. Zimmer.”
Lucian nodded. Shawn put down the phone and turned on speaker, “Ms. Flanagan is still unconscious and hasn’t woken up.”

“I thought Penelope was already… That’s why Lucian has been standing by her side.” Allison’s voice carried a hint of mockery and jealousy.
Shawn quickly glanced at Lucian’s expression, but Lucian didn’t look angry. Shawn immediately said, “Mr. Lindberg has been busy with company matters.”

Lucian’s voice was low, “Alright, I’ll be there on time.”
Allison paused, “So you’re here.”
“An invitation from you, how could I refuse.” Lucian said.
“I thought you’d be extremely busy these days.” Allison said.
Lucian rubbed his forehead, he was indeed very busy. The company’s affairs were numerous recently, and with Penelope’s unconsciousness, the series of events were overwhelming, even for him.
“See you at tonight.” Lucian said.
The man’s husky voice echoed in her ear. Allison hung up the phone, the words still reverberating.
Unexpectedly, Shawn was with Lucian.
Allison returned home to see Grace had already come back and was preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Grace greeted Allison with a big smile, “Allie, you’re back.”
Allison could see that Grace’s eyes were red. Was it because of Penelope?
“Mom, you…” Allison said.
