I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 584 Concealed Truths

Yinson saw his eyes bloodshot, knowing he definitely didn't sleep well last night, so he couldn't bear to continue saying anything, just comforting, "Don't be too worried. As long as you pay more attention, everything will be fine." "Okay, got it," he replied earnestly, like an obedient student.

Yinson rarely saw him react like this. He couldn't help but smile. "I feel relieved when you cooperate like this. Your parents don't know yet. Should we inform them?"

Benjamin glanced at Yinson indifferently. "What do you think?"

Yinson continued to smile. "Alright, I got it. I'll go busy myself. You stay with Harper. She can have breakfast when she wakes up."

Benjamin nodded, and Yinson left.

A few minutes later, Harper opened her eyes and found herself in a hospital room. Subconsciously, she reached out to touch her abdomen and felt the bulge, which reassured her.

Last night, after Annie brought her to the hospital for the examination, she was too tired. The doctor also gave her medication safe for pregnant women, so she slept until now.

She sat up in bed and immediately saw the man sitting on the sofa.

She hesitated slightly, and his gaze turned to her. They locked eyes, and he said, "Awake? I just ordered breakfast for you. You can have it after washing up."

Harper was somewhat surprised that Benjamin was there.

What about Annie?

She compressed her lips together, refraining from asking, and quietly got up from bed to wash up. Then she walked to the other side of the sofa and sat down. Breakfast was soon delivered.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

As she ate, he remained silent on the other side, and although they were in the same room, there was no conversation between them.

Harper didn't have a big appetite, so she put down her spoon after a few bites.

She looked at Benjamin faintly, and finally couldn't help but say, "Benjamin, if you don't want to see me, you don't have to come. Annie is free lately; she can accompany me. Besides, there's nothing wrong."

Her estrangement and aloofness instantly made Benjamin's expression cold.

He frowned, his eyes full of displeasure as he stared at her.

His subconscious thought was that she didn't want to see him, so she didn't want him to come to the hospital.

With narrowed eyes, Benjamin's voice was low and hoarse. "What do you mean? Do you think I'm unhappy with you because I pressured Frank to drive into the river?"

Harper took a deep breath, her

expression not much better. She

"Isn't our relationship the way it is because of Frank? Even if it's strained, it's all because of Frank, so do you think it's irrelevant?"

His underlying anger was very obvious, and the atmosphere in the ward gradually became tense.

Their gaze met, and all the emotions were ignited subconsciously.

Harper smiled helplessly. She didn't understand why Benjamin always attributed all the problems to Frank. Wasn't there an issue between them? Frank was just a catalyst. Even without Frank, there would still be other reasons to completely rupture their relationship.

Harper said lightly, "Benjamin, I

admit I briefly concealed something from you. I know you didn't believe me when I said I wanted to wait until you returned from your business trip to tell you the truth. I can understand your feelings. If I were you, I wouldn't believe it either. After all, it's just words without any evidence. But I have a clear conscience. Apart from feeling guilty and uneasy about this one thing, I haven't done anything wrong."

Harper's tone was somewhat excited as she spoke.

She chuckled softly. "I'm tired of blaming myself blindly. If you want to make any decisions because of this, I'll accept them."

"Accept any decision? Are you willing to make such a sacrifice just to turn the page on this matter?" Benjamin's expression was emotionless.

He felt dissatisfied with her words. "What does she mean? Just tired? Or does she want to completely draw a line with me?"
