Chapter 182 My Husband
Benjamin withdrew his gaze from Harper. He glanced at Lauren and said, "No, let's go."
Lauren nodded and smiled when Benjamin couldn't see it.
Benjamin accompanied Lauren to Wanda's ward, and Wanda was delighted and kept saying excitedly to Benjamin, "Benjamin, thank you. You asked someone to arrange such a nice place for me to stay. It costs quite a bit of money for the day, doesn't it?"
Lauren frowned and glared at Wanda with some displeasure, but Wanda was so focused on Benjamin at the moment that she couldn't see Lauren's eyes.
Lauren was worried that Benjamin would be displeased, so she hurriedly explained, "Benjamin, that's the way my mom talks. She doesn't mean anything else and just wants to express her gratitude to you. But she's not very educated, so..."
"Wanda, you can rest assured and recuperate your body. The medical science is very advanced nowadays. Your situation is not serious, and you will definitely be fine. As for money, you need not worry." Benjamin's words interrupted Lauren. He didn't have any intention of responding to Lauren, but his expressionless profile was a bit indifferent, making Lauren a little nervous and uneasy. Benjamin's attitude made Wanda happier and happier, and she kept saying thank you. Eventually, she couldn't resist asking, "Benjamin, you and Lauren have been together for so many years. When are you two going to have kids?"
The atmosphere suddenly went quiet.
His handsome face was bland, a faint coldness flushed across his brow. He didn't speak, but Wanda waited for an answer.
Beside him, Lauren was also silent and wanted to hear exactly how Benjamin was going to respond.
But as seconds passed, Benjamin stayed quiet.
Lauren frowned and lightly pressed her lips to hold back for nearly half a minute before saying, "Mom, don't be ridiculous. You're tired. Get some rest. Benjamin has things to take care of at the company. I'll see him out first."
Wanda hurriedly shut up and hastily explained, "Benjamin, I'm not trying to pressure you or push you. I'm just a little worried about Lauren. After all, she's been with you for so many years."
Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Get some rest. I'm leaving first."
Then, without waiting for any response from Wanda, he had already turned around and walked out of the ward. Lauren glared at Wanda in displeasure before rushing out after him.
After Harper paid the bill and returned to the ward, Annie woke up. She looked at Harper pitifully. "I'm really sorry for making you so tired. Why don't you just sit down and rest for a while and stop walking around? I'll feel guilty."
"How are you feeling?"
Harper asked with concern.
Annie turned to look at Harper. "I'm much better. But I'm hungry."
Harper frowned and wanted to scold her.
But instead of scolding Annie, she said, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Can I have everything?"
"What do you think?"
"Can I have some soup then?"
Annie pressed her lips together and looked pale. She looked like this from just vomiting and diarrhea, so she was vulnerable.
Harper poured a glass of water for her to take her pills before saying, "Wait here. I'll get the soup."
"Harper, you're so sweet. I love you!"
"You'd be doing me the best favor by torturing yourself less." Harper pinched Annie's face, grabbed her cell phone, and walked out of the ward.
The hospital cafeteria was on the same floor as the senior wards, so Harper took the elevator up to the cafeteria.
She exited the elevator and was just about to head towards the cafeteria when she heard Lauren's voice.
Her voice carried the same
gentleness she always did.
"Benjamin, please don't bother with
my mom's words. She just cares
about me too much. In her mind, she
Love
already thinks of you as my
husband, that's why she said those things. Can you not be angry?"
