254 Blind Letting go of Zoren Pierson for today shouldn't be a problem. After all, Penny already had sinformation about him. There were still chances of meeting him, and if there were no chances, she would make one for herself.
"Penny?" "Huh?" Penny snapped out of her trance and turned to the front-row seat.
Nina smiled awkwardly and said, "We already drove past Auntie's and Mom's restaurant." "Oh. Penny's lips formed an "o" shape and refocused her attention on the road. "Right. Sorry." As Penny slowed down to make a turn for another several-minute drive, Nina studied her. "Penny, is everything okay?" Nina asked worriedly. "You seemed distracted." "Yes, I'm okay. Just a lot of things on my mind." "Are you sure?" Penny cast her a sidelong glance when she was back in the proper lane. 'No, actually,' was what she wanted to say.
It would be nice if Nina could remember which family she married into in her previous life. If no way Nina could do that. It only made Penny a little bitter for not trying to know which family Nina married in their previous life.
only Nina could, Penny would've confirmed her theory, but there w "Mhm, I'm sure, Penny hummed. "I just had a lot of things to deal with at work and sfamily matters.

Nina raised her brows. "Really?" "Told you. I've got it." Penny winked at Nina, making the latter chuckle.
"You're amazing. Nina commented. "Once I add the PrGroup office to my portfolio, I'm going to make it big Penny chuckled. "You think too highly of PrGroup "Penny, you're the only person I've met who doesn't want to bask in the glory of their achievements, Nina complained quietly. "If only you let everyone know you're the boss of the leading security firm, I don't think the elders would even look down on you." "They wouldn't look down on me, but they'd surely bother me. I'd rather choose the former. Penny shrugged. "Besides, it's better to surround yourself with people who respect you for who you are, rather than those who are only kind to you because of what you have.
Nina's smile softened as she looked at Penny. "You really haven't changed, have you?" < 254 Blind "Hmm?" "Still as decisive and unbothered as ever," Nina remarked. "It must be nice to live without caring about other people's opinions." If only Nina knew...
'I lived an entire life listening to other people's opinions except mine, Penny thought. It tookan entire lifetto listen to myself and prioritize myself first before anyone else." Penny kept her thoughts to herself and gave Nina a brief smile. "Is Aunt Jessa still the same?" "Hehe." Nina's smile cracked. "Worse. Especially when she's in the kitchen, but that's just how she molds the chefs under her. Tough love, as she says." "Haha.
With that said, they drove to the restaurant owned by Jessa and Allison-a place that tested their friendship but also symbolized their success as individuals.
Meanwhile...
"Sir." Benjamin glanced back at the backseat, concern apparent in his eyes as he looked at Zoren. Earlier, Zoren had been massaging his brow constantly, keeping his eyes closed on their journey to his date. But now, Zoren was breaking out in a sweat and looked even paler.
"I'm canceling your next appointment," Benjamin decided. "We're heading to Doctor Tan's clinic." Zoren didn't respond even upon hearing his assistant's decision. He simply leaned back with his eyes closed. His eyesight was deteriorating.
In addition to the splitting headache, his vision was becoming blurry. This had happened before, and they had almost feared he would lose his eyesight. Though it had been treated with medication and rest, the return of these symptoms indicated only one thing.
He was getting worse.
After half an hour, their car cto a stop. Benjamin quickly got out of the front seat and opened the backseat door.

Zoren had been battling his family fair and square, but they always resorted to underhanded methods to attack him. Benjamin knew it all, having worked for Zoren since before he becthe head of the family.
'He wasn't okay the whole day, but they even sent a woman out of the bluel Benjamin's heart was 254 Blind spital to the restaurant. 'Master had to deal with her nonsense on top of everything else!'
Luckily, Benjamin remembered that woman's face. The next the saw her, he would make sure she disappeared before Zoren even caught sight of her shadow! In Doctor Tan's office, Zoren sat on the couch while the doctor sat across from him.
Zoren slowly focused on the blurry figure before him. "I can't see," he calmly confessed. "I think. I'm going blind this time." Worry immediately spread on the old doctor's face as he approached Zoren.
WEN "Letcheck, Mr. Pierson." The doctor shone a light into Zoren's eyes to examine them. Zoren's pupils were abnormally dilated, the doctor noted.
Nevertheless, the doctor remained composed as he walked to his desk to request medication through telecommunications. When he N returned and sat across from Zoren again, he spoke. "Mr. Pierson, I heard you were recently in an accident," he said. "I don't think you're fit to work right now. You need rest and to take it easy Zoren kept his gaze fixed on the figure without moving. "Doctor, I've had this condition before. I'm not scared." "I'm aware," Doctor Tan ghed. "It was around the tyou had to cto terms with your father's passing. That Thursday Girl... you still haven't found her?"
Zoren didn't respond immediately, but when he did, disappointment tinged his voice "ild rather Ild rather go blind than accept that she won't show up anymore." 66 I wonder... how is he going to recognize Penny if he's blind???????
