6 Before the car could even move , Penny suddenly ran out and blocked its path . " Adrian , don't go ! Please , don't go see her ! " In her haste , her voice became shrill . Adrian rolled down the window , a flicker of confusion in his eyes . Then his expression softened into a smile . " Don't worry . I'm leaving all the bodyguards with you . She won't get a chance to hurt you . " " And the lawyers are handling things at the station . I'll only be a little while . " Penny saw his resolve was unshakable . She bit her lip and , feigning weakness , swayed and collapsed to the ground . At the sight of this , Adrian had no choice but to get out and carry her back to the car . Looking at her pale , drawn face , his heart ached . " Change of plans , " he told the driver . " We're not going home . Take us to the hospital . " Penny remained " unconscious " at the hospital for three days and three nights . Adrian never left her side . He was terrified - terrified that she would slip back into that deep , unending sleep from three years ago . The matter of confronting Rosalie was completely forgotten . Finally , on the third morning , Penny's eyes fluttered open . 1444 Chapter 2 Adrian's own eyes immediately welled up with relief . He gripped her hand tightly , his voice thick with emotion . " Penny , you're okay . You're okay . " " I'm not leaving . I'm never leaving you again . Just don't scare me like that . " Penny offered a weak smile , a flicker of satisfaction in her eyes . While the doctors were examining Penny , Adrian stepped out into the smoking lounge and lit a cigarette . He didn't know why , but ever since he'd signed those disownment papers with Rosalie, a strange , unsettling feeling had been gnaw- ing at him . Just then , his lawyer entered the room . " Mr. Sterling . " The lawyer's face was etched with unease . " We've been investigating for the past few days , and we've uncovered something . I think you need to be aware of it . " Adrian arched a brow , annoyed . " Go on . " The lawyer swallowed nervously . Our investigation he confirmed . that the hasn't been forged . " " Ha . " the evidence provided to the police by the anonymous source appears to be authentic . It A humorless laugh escaped Adrian's lips , his eyes burning red . He dropped his cigarette and crushed it under his heel . " What , are you trying to tell me that the woman I've protected all this time , the woman for whom I disowned my own sister , is actually the person who killed my parents ? " Adrian's voice grew dangerously sharp . " If she was the murderer , then why did she risk her own life to save me from Rosalie's trap all those years ago ? " " I hired you the best legal minds in the country - and this is what you bring me ?! " As he finished speaking ) Adrian slammed his hand against a glass panel , shattering it . The lawyer flinched , stammering , " This - this is just what the investigation has turned up so far . Perhaps there's more to the story . " Adrian clenched his fists , ignoring the shards of glass digging into his palm as if he felt no pain at all . He fought to suppress the rising tide of dread in his heart , his voice firm . " It has to be Rosalie . She's pulling the strings . " " I want you to file a lawsuit against her immediately . For the attempted murder of me in that car crash . " " I want to face her in court . Within three days . " The lawyer nodded hastily and left . But even after he was gone , the deep furrow in Adrian's brow remained . His thoughts were a tangled mess . He took a few deep breaths , forcing himself to calm down before heading back to Penny's room . But as he reached the door , he heard her shouting impatiently at a nurse . " I told you , I don't want this bland recovery food ! " " I was never pregnant ! I never had a miscarriage ! Are you people stupid ? Can't you understand English ? "
