After what had happened last night, Juliana wanted to understand Benson's condition more thoroughly.
She asked for more details.
Benson answered everything she wanted to know, without holding back.
When Juliana was almost done asking questions, she said, "Ask Zach to send a copy of your medical records and stuff over the years."
For now, healing Benson was the primary concern for Juliana.
Benson nodded, "Okay."
After asking the questions, the two went quiet again. Philip had long since left sensibly.
Juliana turned her head to look at Benson, his arm bandaged with white gauze, which was very harsh in the sunlight.
She called out in a deep voice, "Benson."
Benson looked at her.
Juliana looked up into his eyes and changed her words, "Billy is my sidekick, not a lover."
She had checked her account and confirmed that Billy did give her $100,000 a month.
Benson nodded, "You said that this morning, and I believe you."
Juliana said, "I don't remember some things very well, but it was Suzanne and the others who spread the word about things like this."
She had only fragmented memories of the previous Juliana and needed to think back carefully to remember some people and things.
For example, Billy was the sidekick of the original Juliana, who cooperated with her to act as her lover, but in fact the two of them had never even held hands.
After what happened last night, Juliana tried to explain the ridiculous past to Benson.
Benson looked at her and smiled pleasantly, "Okay."
