Chapter 271 He Feels the Baby Move for the First Time!
The night began to fall.
A black SUV slowly drove into the villa and pulled over. The driver opened the door for Madelyn.
A servant approached her and said, "Mr. Clark is in the study."
Madelyn nodded and made her way up to the second floor. She pushed open the study door...
Benjamin sat behind the desk, and the dim light cast shadows shadows upon his profile. He looked
handsome and charming. On the computer in front of him, a video was played. It was about Madelyn's
press conference.
He had been watching it repeatedly throughout the afternoon.
Next to his hand lay the diary.
As Madelyn entered, he raised his eyes and stared at her. She was still dressed in the same white
outfit, looking confident and elegant.
Benjamin extended his hand toward her.
She moved closer and leaned gently against him without saying a word.
He removed the scrunchie from her hair and took off her high heels.
Burying his face in her hair, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you tired?"
Tears welled up in Madelyn's eyes.
She shook her head and hugged him quietly for a long while. Finally, she whispered, "Ben, just go to
the rehabilitation center."
Benjamin's body tensed.
Madelyn kissed his neck and murmured, "It'll be easier for you there. You won't have to constantly force
yourself to remember me or Everest, and you won't have to endure as much pain!... Ben, when you
remember us, just give us a call, and Everest and I will come to see you!"
Her voice quivered.
Because she knew that the days when he could remember her were numbered!
Benjamin was agonized and closed his eyes.
Madelyn sobbed as she spoke, "Benjamin, take this opportunity while I haven't changed my mind..."
She stood up suddenly, pushed him to the back of the chair, and then took off his belt...
Benjamin said in a hoarse voice, "Madelyn!"
Madelyn kissed him.
She knew what he liked best.
Things that she was unwilling to do before, she would do for him now. She wanted him to remember
how he felt at this moment.
She wanted to leave marks on his body. She wanted him to remember the ecstasy of this moment even
if he forgot her...
It was love to the deepest.
Benjamin's fingers grasped the armrest tightly. He lowered his head and stared at the woman in his
arms with wet eyes. He couldn't help but pull her over for a kiss and said, "That's enough,
Madelyn...that's enough..."
She said in a trembling voice, "Benjamin, you are mine, and all of you are mine!"
...
Benjamin moved into the high-end rehabilitation center.
He took the diary with him.
At first, the doctors had given him a bracelet, which was a tracking device.
But Madelyn had taken it off, for she wanted to free him from his restraints. Benjamin wouldn't get lost;
the worst-case scenario was that he forgot to return home.
Occasionally, he would remember her.
He might miss her once a week, ten days, or even half a month...
He would call her, say sweet things to her, and tell her that he was eager to meet her.
No matter how busy Madelyn was, she would bring Everest along!
Everest was a good girl and seemed to grasp the meaning of Daddy going on business trips. She
never cried. When her dad could remember her, she would cheer him up.
Each time, she brought fairy tale books with her.
She would sit in her dad's lap and ask him to read them to her!NôvelDrama.Org © content.
When Benjamin read the fourth book, he could barely recall them now. He held on until he could feel
the first movements of their baby in her belly, which was so powerful and filled him with awe and
devotion. This was the little life he and Madelyn had created together, and now it was starting to move.
Benjamin cherished this feeling.
He lay in Madelyn's embrace, listening to those rhythmic beats.
Eventually, he fell asleep...
Madelyn covered her mouth, unable to hold back her tears. She knew that Benjamin could hold on until
now with the help of that diary...
Late at night, she returned home.
Madelyn smiled as she thought about their next meeting.
A servant walked up to her and said, "Mrs. Clark, there's a package for you."
Madelyn took it and glanced at it casually. But she was in shock.
It was delivered by Benjamin!
She quickly opened the package, and there were three voice recorders inside, each labeled with a tag.
Madelyn went upstairs and turned on the recorder for her, and after a few moments of crackling noise,
Benjamin's deep, husky voice began to play.
"Madelyn, when you hear this, I might no longer be by your side. You're probably in tears, right? Silly,
please don't cry! At least, we're married, and we have two children. The one in your belly is a boy; let's
name him Francis, Francis Clark!... Madelyn, promise me that you'll find me, no matter what, and never
give up! Because I love you, and I can't bear the thought of spending the rest of my life without you! In
the past, even if I lived an affluent life, despite all the things I have... they can't compare to what I feel
with you!"
"Madelyn, I like you!"
"Madelyn, be brave for me one more time, okay?"
...
Madelyn sat in the living room, gently caressing her slightly bulging belly, and listened attentively.
When she heard this part, tears streamed down her face!
She had a feeling that Benjamin had indeed left!
At that moment, her phone on the sofa rang. It was a call from the rehabilitation center.
Madelyn picked up the call...
It was a call from the doctor in the rehabilitation center, who regretfully informed her, "Mrs. Clark, Mr.
Clark has left. He took his
identity card, bank cards, and two sets of clothes."
Madelyn felt she was drained of strength and asked with trembling lips, "Is there anything else?"
After thinking for a while, the doctor continued, "Mr. Clark had left a diary by his pillow. Do you need it?"
"I want it! I'll come to get it right away!"
Madelyn hung up the phone and wiped away her tears, but she couldn't stop crying.
She walked downstairs and told the driver that she was heading out.
Alexander was standing downstairs and looked anxious while feeling sorry for her.
He gazed at Madelyn and whispered, "A few days ago, he renewed his lawyer's license. I found out he
got his passport and purchased a plane ticket to Dilandha. He should be on the plane now."
Madelyn wept silently.
Even though she had prepared herself for this day, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Benjamin had forgotten everything...
He could only remember things that happened five years ago when they had not met each other yet.
Benjamin had gone far away and returned to his beloved legal career he had longed for.
But she was left behind.
And Everest was still here.
Would he treat them as strangers when they met again?
Madelyn closed her eyes and burst out crying.
Alexander was also in tears.
He gently patted Madelyn's shoulder and said, "Maddie, don't cry too much, otherwise Ben will be
heartbroken. Don't worry; he's doing just fine...He'll come back eventually."
Madelyn was still shaking.
Though he had mentally prepared herself for months, the day had arrived, and she was still
heartbroken.
...
Madelyn went to the temple.
She wanted to see Fletcher.
The temple was halfway up the mountain. She was devout and, though four months pregnant, climbed
up on foot.
Upon reaching the temple, she knelt before the Buddha and burnt incense.
But Fletcher didn't meet her.
A young monk came out instead and conveyed Fletcher's message, "Master says that he told you
before: 'Only by waiting patiently can you see a silver lining.'"
After saying these words, the young monk bowed and left.
Madelyn watched him leave with her head bowed and praised in front of the deities in the temple
before slowly walked down the mountain.
Later, Alexander kept her informed every day that within a week, Benjamin had traveled to several
countries...Madelyn stared at the updates about Benjamin, occasionally lost in thought.
Half a month later, she saw Benjamin on the television news.
He had won an international lawsuit.
Outside the Tando State Supreme Court, Benjamin was surrounded by numerous reporters.
Dressed in a classic black and white suit, he held his chin slightly up as he was taking questions from
reporters. He looked so confident and elegant as he had a charming smile on his face.
Madelyn watched that interview countless times.
She was smiling and crying...
