Chapter 136 She Had Surgery Alone
Madelyn closed her eyes quietly.
There was another surge of pain in her lower abdomen.
Amid the pain, she seemed to hear something break.
After the event, she thought that was the breaking sound of her sincere heart.
She sat up straight.
Her eyes were blank but firm...
She heard herself saying, "Benjamin, you can go."
Eleanor's parents were grateful and apologized, saying that she was generous.
Benjamin rose and took off his coat, putting it on her shoulders.
When the warm coat covered Madelyn, she abruptly brushed it away. She was disgusted.
Benjamin was startled.
Madelyn said softly, "I don't need it."
He chose to stay with Eleanor and only left a coat to her. What did he mean?
Benjamin was bad-tempered. Now that Madelyn embarrassed him in front of the outsiders, he was annoyed and said sulkily, "I'll drive you back later."
Madelyn didn't say a word.
At this moment, it was her turn to see the doctor.
When she got to her feet, she didn't look at Benjamin. Her pride didn't allow her to beg him to stay. There were many men in the world, and perhaps none of them was superior to him. So what? What a woman needed was a man who would put her before anything else.
Outstanding as Benjamin was, he always thought of the other woman.
What was the point of having such a man?
Madelyn endured the pain and walked toward the consulting room slowly.
Benjamin stood there with a sullen face.
Constance urged him in a soft voice, "Benjamin, let's go see Eleanor now."
William hesitated.
In the end, he led Benjamin to the VIP ward.
In the emergency room.
When the female gynecologist saw Madelyn in pain, she looked behind the latter. "Where's your man?"
Madelyn was bitterly embarrassed.
She lay down on the examining table with misty eyes. "He's busy."
The gynecologist was experienced and knew what was going on. She couldn't help saying, "Why wasn't he busy when he had fun?"
After that, she examined Madelyn.
"It hurts..."
The gynecologist pressed on her belly a few times, and Madelyn was convulsed in the pain.
She had never experienced such pain before.
The middle-aged gynecologist narrowed her eyes.
She glanced at Madelyn and pulled down her clothes, going outside and saying to a nurse. "Get ready for surgery. It's abdominal negative pressure caused by sexual intercourse. The patient is in critical condition."
Madelyn's mind went blank.
The gynecologist swiftly filled out the surgery form and blamed her. "If you had come late, you might have died. It's a small surgery, and you can leave after that, but you need someone to stay with you. Do you have any friends here?"
Madelyn rubbed her lower abdomen lightly.
There was a surge of pain...
She looked up at the ceiling and said in a soft voice, "I'll ask my friend to come."
The gynecologist gazed at her with pity.
What a pretty girl! But she was maltreated by a jerk, who didn't look after her after hurting her like this.
Madelyn called Vivian with trembling hands.
When Vivian knew what happened, she put on her clothes and cursed, "What's wrong with Benjamin? He's a jackass!"
Madelyn signed her name and had the surgery.
It was a small surgery, but it hurt a lot.
She tried to stifle the pain and clutched tightly at the white sheets. Amid the pain, she seemed to hear Benjamin whispering in her ear, "Do you like it? Madelyn, I like it a lot." Madelyn turned away her face.
All of a sudden, tears rolled down her cheeks.
When Vivian arrived, the surgery was over.
Madelyn's face was as white as a sheet. She could hardly stand on her own, looking so fragile that it seemed she could be carried away by the wind at any time.
The pain and the embarrassment were far stronger than the passion Benjamin brought her.
Vivian cried at the sight of Madelyn.
"Where's the bastard? He can't be meeting his old lover, can he?"
Madelyn gave a vague smile.
Vivian guessed it right. Benjamin did leave her behind and go to visit Eleanor.
He told her he would just take a look at Eleanor, but it had been an hour, and he hadn't come back.
Madelyn didn't care about that anymore.
She would have nothing to do with him from now on.
She wouldn't hold any hopes for him. She didn't care if he loved or hated Eleanor.
After Vivian got the medicines for her, she held Madelyn's arm and turned to leave.
...
On the ground floor of the hospital.
They were destined to run across each other.
Madelyn saw Eleanor and her family as well as Benjamin.
William and his wife supported Eleanor on both sides, followed by Benjamin, who carried a bag of medicines.
He looked natural as if he was Eleanor's husband.
Eleanor wore a delighted expression.
She said sweetly with rosy cheeks, "Benjamin, you don't have to come to see me. How could you leave Ms. Green alone? She might get angry with you."
Madelyn didn't hear what Benjamin said.
However, she was disgusted by what she saw, so she said in a soft voice, "Vivian, let's go."
"Why should we go?" Vivian was hot-tempered.
She left Madelyn quietly and went up to the family.
Vivian's voice was shrill.
"Mr. Clark, you're so busy!"
"You hurt Madelyn. She took the surgery alone, and you had the mood to visit your old lover. Benjamin, you opened my eye. You're the worst jerk I've ever met. You're far worse than Jackson." Benjamin frowned.
He ignored Vivian and looked at Madelyn behind her.
Madelyn propped herself against the wall with an ashen face.
Her lips were pale. She seemed to fall at any time.
Benjamin gave the bag to William and went up to support Madelyn. Vivian's eyes were red.
But Madelyn pushed him away quietly.
She didn't want him to get near her. She was rejecting him.
Madelyn took a deep breath and said, "Benjamin, we're done. When you chose to see Eleanor, we're finished completely. I'd be grateful to you if you continue to be my dad's lawyer. If you are not willing to do that, I'll have to ask Daniel for help. I think he will help me."
It almost exhausted all her strength to say these words.
Benjamin subconsciously reached out to hold her.
"I didn't know you would have surgery. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left."
Madelyn didn't refute it.
She stood there and thought for a good while before tilting her head and saying, "Benjamin, I liked you, but I'm not sure of it now. I'm only an ordinary girl, and I feel inferior to you. I can't comply with your rules and tolerate your condescendence."
"Let's end it here."
"Let's part neatly."
After Madelyn spoke, she gave him a faint smile, which looked like the morning dews in the flower that bloomed on the cliff.
Her smile broke Benjamin's heart.
Madelyn turned around and walked away with the help of Vivian.
Benjamin grabbed her arm forcefully and said with a tense voice, "Madelyn..."
"Let go of me."
"Benjamin, we have nothing to do with each other now."
"I won't have any feelings for you. You and Eleanor can rest assured."
