From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 466 So, You Have Feelings for Madison "What do you mean by 'take away'? We're both her parents, got equal custody and all that jazz. Madison's been looking after her real good lately. If we keep this up, it might not be so bad," Kelvin shot back.

Penelope couldn't believe her ears.

Was this really Kelvin standing in front of her? Ever since he got that fever, Kelvin had been acting all kinds of weird, but she tried to roll with it.

She figured he'd snap back to normal once the cold was gone, but nope, he just got weirder and more extreme! Like he was a whole different person! "Madison's taking good care of her? Keep it up?" Penelope zeroed in on his words. "Kelvin, are you seriously planning to let Lucy keep calling Madison 'Mommy' and not help her snap out of it?" Kelvin's lips pressed together. "Of course, Lucy needs to snap out of it. But even if she does, she can still call Madison 'Mommy."" After a beat, he added, "A stepmom's still a mom." Penelope's body shook, almost knocking her off balance.

What a load of crap! A stepmom's still a mom! Kelvin's words hit Penelope like a ton of bricks! She thought it was bad enough he broke his promises, refusing to let Lucy go.

She never expected he'd even think about making Madison Lucy's stepmom! He wanted to keep Lucy and shack up with Madison! "Kelvin, do you think I'm dead?" Penelope asked. "Do you think you can just do whatever you want without giving a damn about my feelings?" His gaze barely flickered. "Penelope, you're exhausting." "So?" Penelope shot back.

"So, Madison's a thousand times more sensible and obedient than you," he said.

Penelope stared into his eyes.

In his pupils, she saw her reflection.

Her face was pale, her red lips trembling, clearly flustered and helpless.

Yeah, right now, Penelope had no clue what to do.

But she had to hold it together, couldn't let herself fall apart! "Kelvin, so you have feelings for Madison," Penelope said softly. "No wonder you were so bent out of shape when I hit her, makingapologize. No wonder you were so cold when I asked you to check out what Isabella and Madison were up to." 'He never wanted to check out Isabella! He never planned to help Lucy snap out of it! Kelvin wanted to let things ride! He doesn't mind that Lucy called Madison 'Mommy,' and he wanted ti keep everything as is. After all, he won't lose anything!' The one losing out was Penelope! "How can you do this?" Penelope demanded. "Kelvin, doesn't your conscience bug you? On what grounds do you keep hurtingso deeply, over and over?" He stood there, cool as a cucumber, no guilt in sight.

He even said, "Why are you so worked up? No matter what, Lucy's your biological daughter. Blood's thicker than water; she's still your kid." Penelope took a deep breath. "Kelvin, are you messing with me?" she asked. "Are you not fully awake? Or has Madison got you under sspell? You never said this tobefore!" Before, he told her not to worry.

He said, he would be there for her.

He said he'd definitely bring Lucy back to her safe and sound.

And now? "Madison didn't put a spell on me," Kelvin replied. "It was her actions that moved me." Penelope really wanted to slap him.

"Fine, whatever." Penelope nodded, her head bobbing like a bobblehead. "Kelvin, you don't wanna check out Isabella and Madison, and you don't plan on helping Lucy snap out of it. Then we're done here, no need to see each other again! If you won't fix it, I'll handle it myself! I never planned on relying on you to save Lucy anyway; you were the one making all those promises! And now? I trusted you, handed her over to you, and this is how you repay that trust?" If they kept arguing, she'd probably keel over from sheer frustration! Just as she was about to storm off, Penelope threw in. "Why didn't that fever fry your brain that night?" He was getting more and more ridiculous! His attitude was going downhill fast! Penelope had barely taken two steps when she heard a phone ring.

She thought it was hers, but nope, it wasn't.

At the stime, she heard Kelvin's smooth voice behind her, "Hello, Madison." "Mr. Davis, you need to get to the hospital ASAP, Lucy..." The voice was frantic, and Penelope only caught the first part.

She froze in her tracks.

'Lucy? What happened to Lucy?' Penelope whipped around, eyes locked on Kelvin.

"Okay, got it, I'll be right there," Kelvin said. "Don't panic, don't be scared, it's all good." The soothing, tender tone in his voice wasn't new to Penelope.

She just didn't expect he'd use it on another woman.

Penelope wondered, why Madison of all people? Couldn't Kelvin fall for a decent, well-educated lady? If Kelvin really fell for someone else, she could genuinely wish him well, hoping he'd find new love, be happy, and grow old together.

Even if it hurt, she could still smile and wish him the best.

But why Madison? In a daze, Kelvin had already walked past her in a hurry.

"Wait!" Penelope immediately chased Ο after him. "What did Madison say? What happened to buy? Didn't you say she was getting better and would be out soon?" Kelvin didn't stop. "Lucy is fine." "I clearly heard Madison say..." Penelope started.

"Lucy doesn't wanna stay in the hospital anymore." Kelvin opened the car door and slid into the driver's seat. "She's crying and fussing to leave. Madison can't handle it alone, so she called me." Penelope smelled something fishy.

'Lucy has always been a good kid; no way she'd suddenly throw a fit about leaving the hospital for no reason.

There has to be more to it!' Lucy had been a sickly child, and though she'd had emotional meltdowns before, Penelope could always calm her down with a few gentle words.

What was different this time? "I'm coming with you," Penelope said, yanking open the passenger door.

Kelvin watched her hop in, his lips pressed together, but he said nothing and hit the gas.

The whole ride was dead silent.

Penelope clutched the seatbelt, staring straight ahead.

She didn't notice Kelvin sneaking glances at her, his eyes filled with something deep.

She thought he was just checking the rearview mirror.

When they got to the hospital, Penelope made a beeline for them ward but stopped just as she was about to push the door open. "You go in." she pulled her hand back. "Lucy doesn't wanna see me, and it'll just make things worse."
