Chapter 266 Ben, Don't Do It
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Benjamin first went to the villa to pick up Madelyn and then went to the
kindergarten to pick up Everest.
The kindergarten teacher smiled and said, "Everest, your mom and dad are here to pick you up!"
Everest, wearing a small floral dress and sporting tea-colored curls, proudly declared, "My mom and
dad are taking wedding photos, and I want to take wedding photos too!"
Other children in the class burst into laughter.
The teacher chuckled and said, "Then let me take you there!"
She held Everest's hand and felt a fondness in her heart. She was reluctant to let her go when handing
Everest over to Benjamin.
Everest waved her little hand and said, "Ms. Tucker, see you tomorrow!"
Once they got in the car, Everest couldn't help but fix her gaze on Madelyn's belly and asked, "Mommy,
when will the little brother come out? If I sleep well for one night, will he be born?"
Madelyn didn't know how to answer.
Benjamin fastened his seatbelt and gave a faint smile, "You have to sleep well for many nights for the
little brother to come out!"
Everest looked disappointed.
But soon she perked up and said, "The kids at the kindergarten said their dads also wanted children,
and they try hard to plant carrots every night! Daddy, did you plant carrots to make Mommy's belly
grow?"
Madelyn's cheeks turned slightly red.
As Benjamin was about to start the car, he glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his gaze meeting
hers.
He smiled slyly, with a hint of ambiguity.
Madelyn's face grew even warmer.
Benjamin let her off the hook and lightly pressed the accelerator. Meanwhile, he explained to his
beloved little girl, "The kids didn't get it quite right! When Everest grows up, you'll understand!"
Everest trusted him more.
Benjamin focused on driving and remained silent. After all, his wife and daughter were in the car with
him!
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a high-end wedding dress store.
The manager greeted them as soon as the car arrived and opened the door with a professional smile.
"Mr. Clark and Mrs. Clark, we have cleared the place just for you and will provide you with the best
service."
Benjamin nodded lightly.
He took Everest out of the car, and the little girl was especially happy, bouncing around next to her
mother.
Her mother picked out a pretty little dress for her.
The staff led them separately on the second floor to try on the selected wedding dresses.
Benjamin quickly changed into a set of black velvet formalwear with a white organ shirt inside.
He looked handsome and dignified!
Several young staff members couldn't help but steal a glance at him.
But Benjamin didn't feel anything at all. He sat in the VIP area flipping through a magazine, waiting for
Madelyn and Everest to change.
Everest was the first to come out, wearing a light champagne-colored puffy skirt, and her tea-colored
curly hair was tied back with a hairband. She looked extremely beautiful.
The little girl felt a little embarrassed and jumped into her father's arms, acting spoiled.
The staff smiled and said, "The little girl looks really pretty! She looks like her mom!"
Benjamin looked down at the little one he had raised with his own hands, feeling a softness in his heart.
He took her small hand and walked to the full-length mirror. Everest looked at them in the mirror and
thought she looked so beautiful!
Daddy looked good too!
Everest's eyes sparkled, twinkling and lively.
Benjamin smiled slightly, about to speak, when the door of one of the changing rooms opened, and
Madelyn walked out gracefully.
Benjamin's breath caught.
Even though he had seen her in countless different looks, he was still amazed at this moment.
The pure white wedding dress fit her perfectly, hugging her slender waist before flowing into intricate NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
and beautiful lace at the hem.
Her long hair was softly styled, with the pearl earrings he had given her adorning her ears.
She looked gentle and beautiful!
Unable to control his emotions, Benjamin gently caressed her neck and murmured, "You look
stunning!"
The service staff blushed a little.
The scene before them was enough for them to imagine a thousand words...
Madelyn blushed and whispered, "We're not at home. Please tone it down!"
Benjamin chuckled softly, lowering his voice, "So you mean there's no need to hold back at home?"
Madelyn: ...
At that moment, the photographer approached, and everyone started working.
Considering Madelyn's pregnancy, Benjamin was worried about her getting tired, so he had only
booked a two-hour session. Fortunately, both the male and female leads were good-looking, and their
child also looked great on camera, so two hours was enough!
After the shoot, the photographer reviewed the shots and smiled, saying, "If Mr. Clark weren't who he
is, I would use these for an advertisement!"
Benjamin replied with a faint smile.
He patted Everest and gently said to Madelyn, "Go remove your makeup and change clothes. I'll take
you out to eat!"
Everest loved eating out.
She immediately ran into the changing room and took off her little dress. While waiting for Madelyn, the
manager gave her a small ball to play with, and Everest was delighted, happily clapping and playing!
Benjamin sat on the sofa, using his phone to handle business matters.
Everest came over, frowning, "Daddy, the ball fell inside!"
Hmm?
Benjamin put away his phone and walked to the door of Madelyn's changing room, gently knocking,
"Madelyn, Madelyn..."
There was no response from inside.
But there seemed to be the sound of a bouncing ball...
Benjamin held the doorknob and twisted it, but it wouldn't open!
His heart sank, and he immediately blocked Everest behind him, extending his foot and kicking with
force.
The sturdy door shook and finally burst open with a bang!
The moment the door opened, Benjamin almost held his breath. Two staff members were tied to chairs
with cloth stuffed in their mouths, and Madelyn was being held hostage by Eleanor. A sharp blade was
pressed against her throat.
Crimson blood trickled out slowly.
Benjamin slowly uttered, "Eleanor!"
Eleanor was wearing the uniform of this place. She was too thin to fill the clothing, and her face looked
withered and lifeless, completely devoid of her former beauty.
Eleanor's smile was chilling.
"Benjamin, didn't you expect me to get out?"
"I wanted to see you, but you refused, so I had no choice but to attempt suicide... Those idiots took me
to the hospital, and I managed to meet you with a little effort. Surprise and unexpected, right?"
...
She suddenly exclaimed hoarsely, "Benjamin, you are ruthless! To save your precious daughter, you
almost drained me of blood! Do you know the pain of convulsions due to excessive blood loss? You
wouldn't know because you only care about this bitch and her child!"
Everest was scared and started crying!
Benjamin spoke in a calm voice, "Everest, go downstairs!"
Being young, Everest cried for her mother!
With a serious face, Benjamin's voice was surprisingly gentle, "Be good and listen to me!"
Everest's little mouth trembled as she looked at her mother. Madelyn was in pain from being choked,
but she tried to speak calmly, "Listen to your dad!"
With teary eyes, Everest took a few steps back and ran downstairs.
Eleanor sneered, "How touching!"
Benjamin tightened his fists, keeping his gaze fixed on Madelyn, and then shifted his eyes to Eleanor,
"What do you want?"
...
"What do I want?" Eleanor laughed maniacally.
She locked eyes with Benjamin, suddenly showing a hint of affection, "I want to go back to how things
used to be! Ben... I regret what I did during that absurd period. Can you forgive me? As long as you
forgive and reconcile with me, I'll let her go!"
Benjamin's expression remained blank, "Fine, I forgive you!"
Eleanor tilted her head and giggled...
Suddenly, her voice turned menacing once again, "You're lying to me! You just want to save this bitch!"
As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the blade.
The blood flowed like a thin stream, staining the pure white wedding dress red...
Madelyn's delicate throat tensed.
She dared not breathe, knowing that another inch closer would mean certain death. She didn't dare call
out to Benjamin, fearing it would provoke Eleanor even further!
Eleanor suddenly laughed again, "Actually, I don't want to kill her! If I kill her, you will remember her for
the rest of your life!"
She pulled out a syringe from her pocket.
Inside, there was a yellowed solution.
She threw it at Benjamin's feet and coldly said, "Benjamin, I'll give you a chance! Inject this into your
body, and I'll let her go!... This is a good thing. Once you take the shot, it will end my pain! Because you
will slowly and gradually forget about Madelyn and your unforgettable memories!"
After finishing her words, she laughed crazily.
Madelyn couldn't bear it any longer. She struggled and shouted at him, "Ben... Don't! You're not allowed
to do it. You're not allowed!"
She wasn't afraid of him forgetting about her.
She was afraid that this would cost Benjamin his life!
Benjamin's throat moved, and he stared at Madelyn, speaking in a deep voice, "Don't move!"
He needed to buy some time now.
Eleanor had gone insane. Anything that provoked her could directly end Madelyn's life. He loved
Madelyn and their child. Madelyn couldn't be harmed, even if it meant sacrificing himself!
He bent down and picked up the syringe, his handsome face resolute, "I'll do it!"
Tears streamed down Madelyn's face, "Ben, don't..."
Eleanor's face twisted in excitement as she stared at Benjamin, "Right now, or else I'll take her life right
away! One, two, three..."
Benjamin took off his jacket and rolled up his shirt sleeves.
His arms had beautiful and strong lines. They had embraced Madelyn countless nights, but now... The
thin needle pierced into his flesh, and the pale yellow liquid slowly injected.
Everything seemed to freeze in place.
In his world, there were only Madelyn's teary eyes.
Madelyn, I'm sorry. I always make you sad!
Madelyn, stop crying. Your tears hurt my heart. It's nothing compared to the pain I've caused you. At
least it doesn't hurt much!
Madelyn, that Fletcher Donald said I have weak blood ties, and I actually believed it! I feel uneasy... but
I didn't expect our separation to come so quickly!
Madelyn, if I really have a chance to reincarnate, I will definitely come back to find you!
Madelyn, don't cry!
Madelyn, I can't speak, but I think you know...
I love you!
...
His vision blurred.
Benjamin saw across the building, pitch black. Then, a muffled sound was heard...
Eleanor had her head blown up!
At the entrance, police slowly surrounded...
Eleanor fell in a pool of blood, her eyes wide open, and even a hint of a strange smile on her lips.
Madelyn, if I couldn't have Benjamin, you can't have him, either!
...
Madelyn stood there, covered in blood.
Benjamin threw the syringe away and walked towards her, embracing her tightly, his strength almost
hurting her!
"I'm fine! Ben... I'm fine!"
Madelyn raised his arm and asked, "How do you feel? We need to go to the hospital immediately!"
Benjamin closed his eyes slightly and whispered, "Okay!"
On the first floor, Everest saw them and immediately rushed over, sobbing and calling out for Mommy
and Daddy. Benjamin picked her up, his voice hoarse yet gentle, "It's okay! Everest, it's okay!"
Everest cried loudly!
Mommy was covered in blood. She was scared and heartbroken...
Alexander and his wife also rushed over.
Benjamin handed his wife and daughter to Brianna, and he followed Alexander to the top hospital in
Gredax. Madelyn initially wanted to go with them, but Benjamin insisted on asking her to stay with
Everest.
In the car, Alexander noticed something was wrong and asked.
Benjamin leaned back in his seat and said softly, "Eleanor somehow got hold of a syringe. It can cause
nerve damage."
Alexander's voice trembled, "Did you inject yourself?"
Benjamin didn't answer, silently staring at his father.
He loved his wife but didn't do much for his parents!
Alexander's heart was torn apart. He wished he could tear Eleanor into pieces. But at this moment, the
most important thing was to go to the hospital and check Benjamin's condition.
The driver sped, and they arrived at the hospital quickly.
Benjamin had his blood drawn and underwent tests.
After the results came out, the doctor looked at the report with a complex expression and said to
Alexander, "Alexander, can we talk privately?"
In private, Alexander took a deep drag of his cigarette.
He said, "Let Ben listen to it! He deserves to be prepared, whether it's good or bad!"
The doctor remained silent for a moment.
He pointed to the lab report and said, "This is a new type of illegal agent from Monatiz. It's not lethal but
damages the nerves, causing memory loss and migraines. As for the extent, we still need to observe!"
Alexander closed his eyes and asked, "Is there a way to save him?"
The doctor stared at him and shook his head slowly!
Alexander looked up, tears swirling in his eyes.
He had always been strong, rarely shedding tears. The only time he cried was when Everest was born!
Now, his son was in trouble, and perhaps in the future, he wouldn't remember his parents, wife and
children. How could he not be heartbroken?
Compared to his sadness, Benjamin was much calmer.
He remembered Fletcher Donald's words again-
[Weak blood ties require another reincarnation in the world.]
Benjamin said softly, "Dad, I want to see Madelyn!"
If it was destined to forget everything, then while he still remembered, he wanted to love her
wholeheartedly... There were so many things he needed to tell her!
Even if he had to start over, he wouldn't allow her to give up!
No matter what he became, Benjamin belonged to Madelyn!
