Alice's pupils contracted slightly. She realized that her behavior just now was a little inappropriate. She quickly squeezed the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile. "No, no, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?" Ben frowned.
Alice lowered her eyelids. "I mean, I can't believe it. I just offended Ms. Reed last night. I didn't expect that Ms. Reed would help me. So when I just heard it, I was shocked. I am very grateful to her, really."
What she said was not at all reasonable, so Ben could not find anything wrong.
"That's good. you can go back. We are waiting for your compensation and apology."
"Yes," said Alice.
Ben ignored her and turned to open the door of Jared's ward.
Alice looked at his back, and there was no longer a trace of calm on her face, but a twisted and ferocious look.
But because of her surgery, her expression was distorted, and her face looked stiff and scary.
Of course, Ben did not know any of this.
After he walked into the ward, he saw the two men and women who were snuggling together on the bed, and secretly rolled his eyes.
Since they were awake, why couldn't they get up?
Of course, he did not dare to say it. He coughed and pretended not to see it. "Mr. Farrell, Ms. Reed."
When Amber saw Ben come in, she was a little embarrassed. She blushed and wanted to get out of Jared's arms.
After all, she was awake now.
If she fell asleep, she would naturally pretend that she didn't know anything, but not when she was awake.
Therefore, she had better get up.
However, when Jared noticed her movements, he hugged her waist tightly and refused to let her get up from his arms. "Don't move!"
"Let go, Ben is here." Amber glared at the man.
Jared glanced at Ben indifferently.
"Ms. Reed, it doesn't matter. You can pretend that I'm not here, really!" Ben immediately straightened his back and sat upright.
He said seriously.
But Amber was even more embarrassed.
Treat him as if he didn't exist?
How was this possible? It was not like he really didn't exist. With such a big person standing there, how could she not see him?
If Jared wanted to do something to her later, wouldn't Ben see it all?
That was so embarrassing!
Jared looked at Amber's twinkling eyes and knew what she was thinking. His thin lips curved slightly and he began to talk about business.
When it came to business, he could temporarily divert her attention so that she wouldn't think too much.
"Have you settled everything?" Jared looked at Ben and asked lightly.
Ben nodded slightly and replied, "Everything has been dealt with. That woman agreed to compensate and also promised to publicly apologize to Ms. Reed."
"Good," Jared replied.
"However, she did not agree in the beginning," Ben said.
"Oh?" Jared frowned.
Amber was not surprised. She opened her red lips and said, "After all, she's going to face the people on the internet. It is normal for her not to agree at first."
"Yes. Because of this, she even suspected that Ms. Reed was deliberately taking revenge on her." Ben nodded.
"I deliberately took revenge on her?" Amber was amused by these words.
"Who does she think she is?" Jared asked with a livid face.
