Chapter 96
The two of them were walking on the street in the evening. With a strong aura over his body, Benson was walking with long strides, which even attracted the envious attention of the nurse on duty at the nurse station.
Lynn looked very tired, and she didn’t even know who she was going to meet until she came to a VIP ward, and then Benson knocked on the door.
They came in after a nurse opened the door.
The ward was very clean and neat, and there was a woman, who had a beautiful but pale face and was receiving an injection, was lying on the bed. Lynn found this woman very familiar and thought that she might have seen this woman before, and then it occurred to her that she was Stella.
She met her at Mrs. Warner’s birthday banquet, and there was a big misunderstanding back then.
There was a male jacket thrown into the trash in the corner, which reminded her of Benson’s missing jacket.
‘Could it be that the jacket in the trash is exactly Benson’s missing jacket, and the reason why he took me here was because he wanted to explain to me where his jacket had gone?’ Lynn wondered.
Hearing someone was coming in, Stella opened her eyes slowly, and there was a surprised expression crossing her dim eyes, and then she sat up slowly.
“I didn’t expect you guys would come here, please have a seat.”
“It’s alright, we are just dropping by. What did the doctor say? Is the baby okay?” Benson took a look at Stella’s belly.
“There was nothing serious, and the baby made it through safe and sound. It’s lucky that I met you today. It’s so clumsy of me that I even fell down while walking, and I really didn’t expect that there would be an accident even though I was just going out for a meal. I guess I will just stay at home from now.”
Stella didn’t feel well when she was in the bathroom, and she fell down since she got very dizzy, and the bathroom happened to be empty when she felt a sudden spasm of pain in her belly.
She supported herself up bitterly, and she found that there was a stream of blood flowing around her legs, which really freaked her out.
It was supposed to be her wedding anniversary, and that restaurant was the first place where she met her husband. She decided to have a meal there because she missed her husband too much, and she would never expect that there would an accident, which even made her frightened now.
The rims of Stella’s eyes turned red, and Lynn began to feel pity for her. She remembered that John once told her that Stella’s husband was a close friend of Benson, but he ended up in jail after his family was on the decline.
Stella glanced at the trash beside her, and then turned to look at Benson with a guilty expression on her face.
“Sorry, I got your clothes dirty, and I let the nurse throw it away thinking that you wouldn’t want it anyway.”
Benson looked at Lynn in the eyes, and raised his eyebrows, trying to imply that she misunderstood him before.
He turned around and nodded his head towards Stella, but he obviously wouldn’t wear that jacket again.
Stella turned to look at Lynn then, and smiled.
“Lynn, I met you briefly at that banquet, and I left early because I didn’t feel well. Please don’t blame me for not saying hello to you. I really didn’t expect that you are so beautiful since you were wearing a mask the last time.”
Knowing that Benson gave the jacket to Stella, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief. Stella looked like a gentle and generous person, with a sense of toughness inside her body.
“It’s okay, please take a good rest here. When the baby is born, she will in favor with everyone,” Lynn smiled to Stella as well.
“Thank you, you two should have a baby, and we can look after the children together, which will be so much fun. Although the children can be really nasty and even drive you mad sometimes, they can melt your heart as well,” Stella looked at Lynn’s belly suddenly, smiling at them.
‘Ah, this topic!’ Lynn would never expect that she would face this situation where Stella told her to bear a baby soon in front of Benson. It was so embarrassing that she didn’t even know how to respond.
“It’s late, and we should come back now. Please take a good rest, we’ll leave you then,” Benson said.
The two of them walked in a row after they came out of the ward with Lynn following behind Benson, and she realized that she misunderstood him before.
And Lynn bumped against his robust chest after Benson turned around suddenly.
“Wow.”
Lynn pushed herself away from him with her pale hands, and looked up at him while Benson was frowning.
“She is the wife of my friend, Parker Stanley. The Stanley family was on the decline, and Parker ended up in jail. I have to guarantee that she and the body in her belly are safe so that my brother won’t need to worry about them.”
‘He is explaining to me!’ Lynn thought.
Lynn felt a little embarrassed, and oddly, she could always feel a sense of extraordinary toughness around his body every time she came close to him.
Benson just stared at her after Benson said those words, and Lynn felt a warm blush rising to her cheeks. But she didn’t expect that Benson would take her here, and explained everything to her.
“I know. Let’s go,” Lynn kept lowering her head, and didn’t dare to look at him.
“Is there anything that you want to say to me?” Benson grasped her hand when Lynn was about to leave.
Lynn shook his hand, and kept walking straight, pretending that she didn’t hear what Benson said.
“Lynn.”
‘She is really good at ignoring me,’ Benson thought while clenching his fists.
Lynn clenched her fists as well, and she knew that she couldn’t run away this. She stopped walking and then stood straight, and bit her lower lip after turning around.
“I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”
‘He is really not a gentleman. He has made me angry for so many times, and he didn’t even apologize to me for even once.’ Lynn thought.
Benson was stunned. ‘Am I forcing you to apologize to me?’ He wondered. And he heard a squeak suddenly when he was about to step forward and reason with her.
The door of the ward behind them was opened, and a cold figure came out of it, and walked towards their opposite direction.
Seeing that Lynn looked back for a moment in surprise, Benson turned back as well.
“It’s Jack,” Lynn whispered.
Lynn stepped forwards, and walked towards that ward slowly. She saw a small lamp inside when she saw through the window on the door, and Lucy was lying on the bed, with her face pale and a hand of her stretching out from the quilt. Her wrist was wrapped up in gauze.
“Miss Ted is in there,” Lynn whispered again.
Benson glimpsed from far away since he was very tall, and he also saw someone was lying on the bed through the window on the door.
Lynn walked away from that ward quietly after taking a look inside as she was deep in thought.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Miss Ted was so radiant with grace that day at the banquet, as if she was a shining star, but she looked so pale here, just like a withered rose.
‘Jack doesn’t even cherish such a beautiful woman, and what kind of women does he look for exactly? Is he really so heartless or is he just living in his own world?’
The two of them got back to the car, but Benson didn’t start the engine. Lynn looked at him with doubt, wondering what was he thinking about.
Benson turned to look at her, and stared at her pale wrist, as if he was deep in thought.
“No matter in what circumstances, it’s the most stupid thing for me to hurt the one that loves me. Don’t you do that ever.”
“What?” Lynn was confused for a while. ‘What does he mean?’ Lynn thought. Benson focused on driving before Lynn could figure out what did Benson really mean.
