Chapter 904 My Heart Feels Like It’s Breaking Apart
“That can’t be. I will never hurt her,” Benjamin said.
“So how did Janie become like this? Were you angry because she wanted to return those things to you?”
Benjamin nearly laughed out of anger. “What are you saying, Emma? Do I look like that kind of person to you?”
Emmeline shook her head. “No, but you have to tell me what happened! Who injured Janie?”
“I don’t think you should ask that,” Benjamin said with a frown. “You want to go shopping, right? I’ll give Sam a call. She can accompany you.”
He took out his phone.
“I don’t want you to call anyone! I want you to tell me what happened to Janie!” Emmeline said.
“You don’t have to know.” Benjamin seemed displeased. “You can leave now.”
“Benjamin York! Why can’t you just tell me?” Emmeline was angry.
Benjamin did not reply.
“Did you wrong her somehow?”
“Mm.” Benjamin nodded. He was indeed guilty of that.
Tears welled up in Emmeline’s eyes. “Did you force her to do that?”
Benjamin did not reply.
“Didn’t you see how risky the injury was? The wound is so close to her heart!”
“I know! It’s my fault!” Benjamin said.
“I hate you! Don’t let me see you again!” Emmeline shoved him away and said angrily.
“…”
Emmeline rushed out of the door while tears streamed down her face.
If she did not leave, she was afraid she might be violent to Benjamin. Worse yet, Benjamin might just stand there and let her beat him.
Benjamin’s face was ashen as he watched her leave.
“Emma…” His heart felt like it was breaking apart, but he was relieved somehow.
It was better to let Emmeline misunderstand than to let her know the truth behind Janie’s injury.
Emmeline came out of the hospital. She was no longer in the mood to buy lingerie, so she went back to The Precipice.
She was Waylon in the living room. After sleeping for more than a day, Waylon seemed to be in good spirits.
Emmeline was slightly taken aback when she realized that he looked very handsome.
She thought it was a pity that he did not have a significant other.
Waylon could see that Emmeline was not in a good mood. “What’s wrong? Did someone owe you money?”
“It’s not a matter of money,” Emmeline said and sniffled. “If only I can solve all problems with money!”
“So what’s going on then? You look like you have a lot to say!” Waylon said.
“Benjamin caused Janie to be injured. I don’t want to see him anymore!” Emmeline said with teary eyes.
Waylon frowned. It was the first time he heard of that, and he did not immediately believe her.
As far as Waylon knew, Benjamin was a sensible man.
“Where is Janie hurt?” he asked.
“The chest. It looks like her heart was almost damaged,” Emmeline said hoarsely.
“I’ll go and take a look,” Waylon said and prepared to go upstairs to get his jacket.
“You shouldn’t teach Benjamin a lesson though. I’ve already scolded him,” Emmeline said.
Waylon smiled. “Oh, so you’re worried about him now?”
“I’m not! He said he’s guilty, so I’m not going to feel sorry for him.”
Waylon patted her head. “I’ll bring some medicine for Janie, and I’ll also ask what Benjamin did to her.”
Emmeline nodded.
After Waylon left the house, Emmeline went upstairs.
She was not in the mood to go to the mall, but she had to get her lingerie somehow.
The first encounter after a long time shall be a memorable one.
Emmeline went into Abel’s study and turned on his laptop. She wanted to search for some lingerie online.
When the product images appeared, she blushed immediately.
Phew! I’m so glad I didn’t go to the lingerie store!
How can anyone wear something like that? That’s barely any cloth at all!
