章 489: All at once

The next day...

Penny woke up alone in the ward. Her brows rose as she looked around, blinking innocently. 

"Where's Second Brother?" she wondered, rubbing her leg where a spot stung. "Did he leave to get something to eat?"

Well, Penny was starting to feel a bit hungry herself. 

Thinking back to last night, Penny scrunched her nose. Hugo had sneaked in a drink, which they shared while chatting. However, it was a bottle of vodka, so she got very drunk very quickly. Although she didn't pass out right away, she remembered telling him she was tipsy and was going to sleep. 

"Did he drink the rest of it?" she wondered to herself. "If he did, he would've been passed out on the couch. I guess he stopped and threw away the evidence last night."

As Penny decided not to dwell on the previous night's events, the door suddenly slid open, revealing Haines, Charles, and Slater entering the room.
