Chapter 253 Slapped Kelvin "Penelope, when I arrived, Nathan had already left." Penelope demanded, "Then why did my mom point at you before she died?" Kelvin had no idea.
He had always gone along with Grace's wishes, except for her request for him to divorce Penelope.
He had sworn a solemn oath, and he didn't regret it.
Because he was determined to keep his promise, never break it, and use his life to uphold it, being good to Penelope forever.
"I don't know," Kelvin answered honestly, "Maybe she had something important to say to me." Penelope looked up at him. "In her final moments, what did my mom say to you? What did you talk about?" Kelvin raised his hand to grip her shoulder. "Penelope, she askedto take good care of you. She entrusted you to me." Penelope let out a cold laugh, raised her hand to push him away, and then slapped him right across the face! The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the ward !Everyone gasped in shock! Penelope had actually slapped Kelvin! This was something no one dared to do, but Penelope did! Even Ryan and James had never slapped Kelvin. At most, James would hit him with a cane to vent his anger.
A slap was too damaging to his dignity! As a saying went, "Don't hit someone in the face." Penelope was hitting Kelvin right in the face! "I never thought, Kelvin, that at this moment, you could still say such shameless things!" Penelope withdrew her hand. "My mom hated you so much. She knew all the horrible things you've done to me. How could she possibly entrustto you!" Kelvin's fáce turned to one side.

Having never been slapped before, he was taken aback and struggled to recover.
He didn't feel the pain; Penelope's slap wasn't strong, but he felt very sad. "What, you can't believe I slapped you?" Penelope said, "Kelvin, this slap was already light! You've hurtso much, and you still expectto be nice to you!?" Kelvin didn't touch his face, as if the slap hadn't landed on him, as if it never happened.
He just looked at her. "Penelope, I wouldn't lie to you, nor would I deceive you. Aunt Grace really did say those things to me." "No way!" "Aunt Grace just passed away. Why would I make up lies in front of so many people?" Penelope stared at him with hatred. "I don't believe you! Because my mom called Nathan over to try to set us up! How could it be you? My mom hated you and didn't want to see you at all!" "Yes," Kelvin replied, "she did want you to be with Nathan. She even said we should divorce so you could marry Nathan immediately." "Exactly! That's the truth! That's the real story!" "But after Nathan left, I talked to her again! Penelope, I swore an oath in front of her !" Penelope just kept shaking her head, her face full of disappointment and hatred.
Regardless of the oath Kelvin swore, she would never trust him again.
"Kelvin, I believe what I saw. When I rushed in, I saw my mother pointing at you, taking her last breath," Penelope said, "You are the one who killed her!" Her eyes were lifeless.
Penelope had lost her mother, and she was heartbroken.
Even when they were struggling in the past, Penelope never gave up on Grace. She believed her mother would wake up and believed in miracles.
She never expected that when everything seemed to be getting better, Grace would leave her forever. Planning your weekend reading? Ensure you're on nov L5sfor uninterrupted enjoyment.

"It's not important anymore," Penelope replied, "I have no interest in anything about you anymore!" "I know Grace's death is hard on you, but..." "Enough," she interrupted him, her face pale and sorrowful. "Kelvin, I beg you, leaveand my family alone." Kelvin asked seriously, "Penelope, do you still believe that I caused Grace's death?" "Yes," Penelope answered without hesitation. "She was already weak. Even if you didn't say anything to upset her, why did you show up in front of her, bringing up those bad memories? You knew very well that ourfamily doesn't welcanyone with the last nDavis!" Kelvin deeply felt the bitterness of being wronged.
Once, Connor had experienced this feeling, too. Now it was his turn! He owed the Cooper family so much. Was he destined never to have Penelope? "And," Penelope asked in despair, "you clearly saw my mom's condition was very bad. Why didn't you call the doctor immediately?" "I pressed the call button..." "Why did you press it at the last moment!" Penelope shouted. "If you had acted five minutes earlier, or even two minutes earlier, maybe my mom could have been saved!" Kelvin's thin lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing.
Connor spoke up, "Penelope, let your mom rest in peace. We need to prepare for her funeral." As he spoke, he glanced at Kelvin. "You should leave too. Our family doesn't need the Davis family involved in any of our matters anymore!" Both he and Penelope were immersed in immense grief, having lost the most important person in their lives. Penelope turned her head to look at Grace on the hospital bed, feeling dizzy.

Connor stayed in theward, holding Grace's hand, tears streaming down his face. "Honey, why did you leavelike this? wanted to spend more twith you, watching the sunrise and sunset, counting each other's gray hairs."
"I finally got out of prison, and the most important thing in my life was e to grow did with you. But now you've leftbehind, going ahead alone."
"Honey, how am I supposed to live? Penelope has her own life. She's still young. Ndon't want to burden her." "Should I... should I follow you in death?" Connor trembled as he reached out to close Grace's slightly open eyes.
Grace's body temperature gradually turned cold.
"Mr. Cooper," the nurse beside him said, "she's gone. Please take comfort and cover Mrs. Cooper with the white sheet." Connor couldn't bear to. "Letlook at her a little more." From now on, he wouldn't be able to see her anymore.
Connor had once believed that they should free Penelope at the earliest opportunity, should they ever manage to escape the Davis family and leave LA He and Grace would stay in LA, recuperating until they died of old age.
But now, Grace was gone, and Connor was left alone.
