Chapter 173 The Mystery of Her Birth
Benjamin came back to his apartment early in the morning.
On the way home, he saw a white BMW parked on the road.
It was not unusual for many people around to watch and take pictures, but Benjamin's heart skipped a beat suddenly when he saw the license plate.
It was Madelyn's car.
Benjamin stopped the car and walked across the road quickly.
The white BMW stopped on the road.
The bonnet of the car was opened, and it was exposed to the rain all night.
The door of the driver's seat was open. There was a lady's wallet inside. It had been soaked by the rain and was on the seat stickily.
The crowd was full of words.
"Whose car is it? This car just parks on the road like this!"
"That's it. Did the owner of the car commit suicide because of taking something to heart?"
"The car has broken down and the owner's probably dead. So pitiful!"
Benjamin stood upright, forgetting to breathe for a few seconds.
He took out his mobile phone mechanically and found it was switched off!
He leaned over to take out Madelyn's wallet and closed the car door. Someone around shouted, "How can you take other people's things?"
Benjamin said in a low voice, "It's my girlfriend's car!"
The onlookers looked at him strangely, as if looking at a heartless man.
Benjamin quickly returned to his car and charged his mobile phone. When he could turn on the mobile phone, he immediately dialed Madelyn's phone number.
The phone rang for about 20 seconds before Madelyn answered the phone.
Madelyn said tiredly, "Benjamin, we'll talk about our affairs later!"
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Benjamin frowned, guessing that Madelyn was still angry.
He was willing to indulge her temper. He thought, "I should go back to take a bath first and then go to her apartment at night to make up for her perfect Valentine's Day. Madelyn is very good. I don't want to break up with her."
Benjamin called Paisley and asked her to arrange a tow truck before driving to his apartment.
Certainly, Madelyn was not there.
The bedroom was a little messy, and a small suitcase was open as if someone was packing, but it was not taken away for some reason.
Benjamin watched quietly for a while and then went to take a shower holding his clothes.
After taking a shower, he lay down, and Eloise called him.
Benjamin was very tired and asked in a bad tone, "What's wrong?"
Eloise said in a wailing tone, "Madelyn's father has passed away. Do you know?"
Benjamin originally closed his eyes slightly.
Hearing this, he slowly opened his eyes, and all emotions disappeared in his eyes!
Benjamin finally knew why Madelyn packed half of her luggage and didn't take it away, why her car broke down on the road, and why she didn't lose her temper with him.
It was all because Madelyn's father passed away.
Benjamin wondered how much Madelyn experienced last night.
The color drained from Benjamin's face gradually, and he had a hunch that he and Madelyn were really done!
Benjamin was rushed to the hospital.
The Green family was still there, and a few relatives and friends accompanied them.
They were sending Samuel to another world. Madelyn was sitting in a wheelchair in black, with a small white flower pinned on her chest.
Madelyn looked a lot thinner, with a pointed chin.
When Benjamin came over, Madelyn just took a quiet look at him, without much emotion.
There was no love or hate in her eyes!
However, David couldn't help but step forward and grab Benjamin's collar. David said fiercely, "How dare you come here! Where were you when Madelyn was helpless? Stop pretending to be innocent!" David lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth, "I said a long time ago, if you don't cherish her, I will love and cherish her!"
Benjamin pushed David away hard.
David wanted to fight Benjamin!
When David remembered Madelyn's appearance last night, his eyes turned red. David thought, "A good girl like Madelyn should have been treated well. Benjamin is such a bastard!" Madelyn stopped David.
Looking at Madelyn's pale face, Benjamin wanted to hug her.
Madelyn refused.
She said to Benjamin lightly and politely, "My father was able to leave this world cleanly because of Mr. Clark. Now that he is gone, Mr. Clark is willing to come over to mourn him. I am very grateful!" Benjamin was stunned.
He thought, "We almost got married. Not long ago, when we made love, she even called me Ben. But now, she just called me Mr. Clark. It sounds so unpleasant!"
Benjamin was in the simple mourning hall set up by the Green family, so he had to bite back all his words!
Benjamin never left.
Although Madelyn didn't drive Benjamin away, she didn't allow him to help her. She only regarded him as a guest of the Green family! David and a few distant relatives of the Green family were all busy helping make arrangements for Samuel's funeral.
Madelyn had been sitting in a wheelchair.
Early the next morning, everyone sent Samuel to the mountain, and Madelyn was holding his picture!
Camila burst into tears.
Madelyn gently hugged Camila and knew she only had Camila to live with now!
The cemetery was solemn and silent.
Samuel passed away, and all the related and unrelated people came.
Owen came with Florence.
Daniel also came.
Even Alexander and Brianna brought Eloise over. The Clark family's meaning was obvious, that was, they still wanted Madelyn to marry into their family!
Although Camila was sad, she asked Madelyn's thoughts.
Madelyn said indifferently, "Since they're here, just let them mourn for Dad to show their sympathy."
Camila didn't know what had happened between Madelyn and Benjamin, but she knew that the two would probably not get married. So Camila just treated the Clark family politely as guests. When Samuel's ashes entered the earth, the sky was overcast.
Samuel's ashes were placed side by side with Madeline's, and there was another place on the side that was reserved for Camila so many years later.
Seeing the tomb, Camila cried and said, "Madeline, you and Samuel must have a good time there."
Camila thought, "As for Madelyn, I will take good care of her."
Madelyn hugged Camila tightly.
At this moment, a slender figure from a distance walked over quickly.
That person was urbane and elegant.
It was William.
He learned what Eleanor had done and knew that Madelyn had broken up with Benjamin. So he wanted to mourn for Samuel to atone for the sins of the Bennett family! Madelyn didn't stop William. She just said, "Comers are all guests!"
When William was about to mourn, he suddenly widened his eyes!
He saw his beloved woman, also his first love, Madeline. Her picture was on the tombstone and a line of words was also on it.
[MY BELOVED WIFE MADELINE, BY SAMUEL.]
At that moment, William's whole body froze!
William couldn't believe it and called Madeline repeatedly.
"Madeline, Madeline... Why are you here?"
With so many acquaintances present, William threw himself in front of Madeline's tombstone regardless of decency and stroked her picture with his trembling fingers.
William thought, "It's Madeline! It's my Madeline! She became someone else's wife, and she actually married Samuel!"
William suddenly looked at Madelyn!
He remembered that Madelyn was the same age as his child. Then he looked closely at her facial features and found she actually resembled him.
William thought, "Madelyn! Madelyn may be Madeline and my biological daughter! But I personally left her high and dry! I even dreamed that Eleanor could get back together with Ben after her divorce." William couldn't accept the blow, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on Madeline's tombstone!
