Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn)

Chapter 218 A Brokenhearted Woman Won't Turn Back

Kenneth lifted his chin slightly, squinting his eyes.

After a while, he sneered, "You're just a little girl who hasn't grown up yet. Don't meddle in adult affairs!" After saying that, he left with the entourage of bodyguards, showing extreme coldness.

Eloise was afraid of him.

At that moment, Eleanor screamed, "Dad... your hand..."

William rolled over and sat up.

He raised his hands, which were fractured and almost useless. He would never be able to play the piano again.

William was in so much pain that he lost consciousness.

He felt it was a punishment from Madeline up in heaven!

Although Eloise disliked them, William saved her when she was young, so she called a doctor for William but didn't speak to them.

Trembling, William said, "Eloise, do you also think I'm terribly guilty? I just... thought that Madelyn and Eleanor are sisters, and Ben is Eleanor's brother-in-law. It's right for families to help each other." Eloise wanted to speak but choked up several times.

Finally, she exhaled deeply and asked, "What is considered 'right'?" Eleanor always clings to my brother, but you continually indulge her and create the potential for misunderstandings! All you do is show partiality and try to force Eleanor on my brother... Mr. Bennett, my parents avoid stating some things to save face, but I will make it evident to you now. With her tumultuous personal life, Eleanor would never be accepted by my family! You may not be aware of the reason my brother broke up with her. He discovered her sleeping with a fitness teacher, and there were used condoms all over the floor... Isn't that scandalous, Mr. Bennett?"

William's face turned pale.

He looked at his adopted daughter with deep sorrow.

He had always thought she was willful but innocent in other aspects, utterly unaware of her... promiscuity!

Eleanor gritted her teeth, "You're talking nonsense!"

Eloise rolled her eyes, "You know damn well whether it's nonsense or not! Go get yourself checked at the gynecologist, you might have contracted all sorts of diseases a long time ago! And... don't come here and disgust us again, or else I'll call uncle Ryan!"

Eloise let out a sigh of relief.

She felt satisfied, but when she thought about Madelyn and Everest, her eyes welled up with tears...

After everyone left, Benjamin wanted to talk to Madelyn in the hospital room, but she still refused to communicate with him.

She turned her back to him.

Benjamin watched her for a long time before silently leaving.

He went to visit Camila.

Camila's leg injury was severe, and she still couldn't leave bed to walk. Otherwise, she would definitely take care of Madelyn herself. She had heard about the child not being well and shed tears of heartache every day, her eyes almost swollen from crying.

Benjamin pushed open the door and called out hoarsely, "Mom!"

Camila was adjusting her leg and, upon seeing him, inexplicably burst into tears again. She was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word.

Benjamin handed her a tissue and poured a glass of water.

Camila wiped away her tears, composed herself, and said softly, "Ben, I understand what you mean... you still want to be married to Madelyn! But marriage isn't taken lightly. I know you're capable and haven't lost any lawsuits. You went to Monatiz with some concerns about Eleanor. But Madelyn is pregnant now, and you've had that kind of relationship with Eleanor before. You shouldn't leave her alone and go to Monatiz !"

Benjamin nodded.

He slowly squatted down, resting his head against Camila's leg. "It's my fault! Mom... I don't want to separate from Madelyn. I want a chance to make it up to her."

Camila couldn't help but cry again.

Make it up...

Right now, Everest lies in an incubator. How can he make it up?

This kind of heartache is fatal to a woman. It's not like having another child will make it better.

No matter how many children you have, they are not Everest.

Camila touched his face and whispered, "Madelyn really likes you. If she didn't like you that much, she wouldn't keep giving you chances! Just think about what happened between Vivian and Grayson. If it were someone else, would Madelyn trade herself for him? Definitely not! It's because you're Benjamin... You've been through so much together, but sadly, you still don't appreciate it. Maybe it's because you have too much and everything comes too easily..."

"But in marriage, once a woman's heart dies, she won't turn back!"

Benjamin listened in a daze.

He knew deep down that everything Camila said was true.

Because he obtained her too quickly, he didn't cherish her!

He had a firm grip on Madelyn through the numerous breakups and reconciliations. He thought that even if she got angry when he went to Monatiz, she would eventually forgive him. She wouldn't stay mad for long.

He still treated Madelyn like a little girl.

But he forgot that they were married, and she was his wife.

Camila shook her head gently. "Ben, I can't help you! If Madelyn feels unhappy with you and wants to separate, I respect her choice."

Benjamin remained silent.

At that moment, a doctor and a nurse entered the room to check Camila's leg, and he conversed with the doctor on the side.

Afterward, he told Camila, "Mom, I'll go see Madelyn. Rest well."

Leaving the hospital room, he was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness...

Benjamin stood there for a long time.

He heard the sound of high heels approaching. Paisley came over with documents and told Benjamin, "I've rescheduled everything except for the work in your hands." Benjamin nodded.

Paisley wanted to see Madelyn and ask about the child, but she decided against it after careful consideration.

She felt a sense of pity.

Benjamin signed the documents, seemingly calm and composed. But when he closed them, his eyes stung intensely...

Paisley gently said, "Spend more time with Madelyn. She needs someone by her side right now."

Benjamin smiled faintly.

In fact, Madelyn didn't need him.

Although she was physically weak, she didn't need anyone other than accepting the nutritional meals sent by the family. And she only took a few bites of the meals. Benjamin was also staying at the hospital.

Every day, he could only see Madelyn for half an hour when he visited Everest.

Standing together, they would look at the little baby.

Only then did he feel that they were still a couple. Only then did he think that Madelyn was still his wife.

But Madelyn refused to speak to him.

She was immersed in her own world, ignoring everyone around her.

A week passed, and Madelyn became even thinner.

That day, a doctor approached him and asked him to talk privately in the office.

On the desk was a medical report, Madelyn's recent physical examination results. The arrows on the report were alarming, making Benjamin's trembling fingers grip the paper.

The authoritative obstetrician with connections to the Clark family said, "Ben, your wife's health is very poor. Because of the child, she is extremely anxious and refuses to take nutrition!" Benjamin's throat tightened. "I'll convince her!"

The doctor looked at him briefly before softly saying, "She has postpartum depression!"

Postpartum depression...

Benjamin's face turned pale.

He knew what that term meant.

The older female doctor patted his shoulder. "I will prescribe antidepressants for her, but the key lies in resolving the emotional issues... Ben, spend more time with her!"

Benjamin nodded, about to end the conversation when Alexander called. His voice was tense, "Ben, come quickly! The child... something's not right!"
