I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 Suicide

"Of course." Benjamin soothed her gently. "If you don't want to recall it, just ignore it. Just relax and don't think about it so much. I'll always be there. Okay?"

Harper nodded slightly, but she was in an emotional slump the whole time.

Not knowing how long it had been, Harper suddenly whispered, "Benjamin, do you hear a baby crying?"

Benjamin frowned tightly, and his expression was incredibly awful. Looking deeply at Harper, who was murmuring in his arms, he asked gently, "What are you talking about?"

"Can't you hear it? A baby is crying."

"Harper, you were just dreaming. You're awake now. Look at me and tell me who I am."

Benjamin held her face to meet his eyes. But her eyes were evasive, and her face was pale and haggard.

Benjamin realized quite clearly at this moment that his doubts were perhaps more serious than he had thought.

He stayed with Harper for a long time. It wasn't until Angie came over to make lunch that he made time to tell Harper, "I'm going to go over and check on Eleanor. Otherwise, we haven't been over there all morning, and Eleanor's going to worry. Okay?"

"Okay."

Harper nodded gently.

Benjamin went to see Eleanor and also talked to Eleanor about what she needed to do before going into the hospital for tests. Afterward, he asked Eleanor, "Has anyone come to look for Harper in the past two days?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Well, she doesn't seem to be well rested and not very refreshed."

"Maybe she's bored of being alone in the house. Keep her company more often. She needs your understanding and companionship the most at this time, Benjamin."
