Chapter 175 Family

• Penelope POV
• Days went by, and my father did not return. The doctor needed to ensure that my wounds were healing properly. My hair had been cut short because one side of my head had an open wound, and now I needed to focus on recovery.
• Silvio came to visit, but he maintained his distance, never getting too close. At night, I would wake to see him sitting by the door of my ward. One night, I heard him crying; he thought I was unaware, but he would come to my bedside when he believed I was asleep, pouring out his heart in sobs.
