Chapter 56 Don’t You Dare Cry Here

Finished

Before Elowyn could finish speaking, Jack had already stepped forward. “Put her on the approved visitor

ist.”

As Benjamin’s direct relative, his word carried weight. The nurse had no choice but to comply.

Choking back tears, Elowyn said, “Jack, thank goodness you came. Otherwise, the food I brought would’ve one cold, and Mr. Benjamin wouldn’t have had a single bite.”

ack glanced at the insulated container and simply said, “The housekeeper at the old mansion will bring neals. You don’t need to bring food anymore.”

He headed toward the hospital room, and Elowyn quickly followed.

I heard it was Elina who made the request. She must not want me visiting Mr. Benjamin. Jack, I genuinely are about him, there’s nothing else behind it.”

Her voice trembled with grievance, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

ust as they reached the hospital room door, Jack suddenly stopped and said, “I agreed with that decision

00.*

Vith that, he pushed open the door and stepped inside. Elowyn stared after him in a daze, taking a noment to process what he’d said.

f she remembered correctly, the nurse had just mentioned that visitor approvals were under review, pecifically banning anyone from the Ford family.

Her heart was in turmoil, but she forced herself to calm down. And Jack agreed to that? Did Elina say

mething to him? Jack just said he made sure I was cleared for access, so he must not see me as a threat. He probably ist doesn’t want anyone bothering Mr. Benjamin. As for the Ford family ban, maybe that was just a coincidence.

Vith that thought, she composed herself and walked into the room. Jack was doing his usual check-in on benjamin’s condition. At the sound of her footsteps, Benjamin turned his head toward the door.

Lina, you-” He stopped mid-sentence when he saw who it was. The smile on his deeply wrinkled face anished immediately.

lowyn forced a smile and stepped forward. “Mr. Benjamin, it’s me. I brought some food I made myself, ›lease give it a try.”

t was right around dinnertime; she’d timed it perfectly to beat the housekeeper there,

Benjamin looked away and responded flatly, “There’s no need to trouble yourself. I’m used to the food rom home; I don’t much care for meals made by outsiders.”

The disdain in his tone was unmistakable.

A flash of anger rose in Elowyn’s chest, but outwardly, she only looked hurt.

She glanced helplessly at Jack, her eyes silently pleading for help.

Seeing this, Jack went over and brought the insulated container to the table, lifting the lid to peek inside.

“These are all your favorite dishes. Why not give them a try?”

Benjamin turned his head, resolute. “No. Aside from the family chef, the only food I can stomach is the kind Lina makes. When have you ever seen me eat something from who-knows-where?

“You think I’m not worried about getting an upset stomach?”

He was scolding Jack, but the real target of his contempt was Elowyn.

His words grew more and more biting. Elowyn bit her lip, her eyes welling up with tears.

“Mr. Benjamin, the ingredients are all fresh, I promise they won’t upset your stomach…”

‘What good is freshness?” Benjamin snorted. “Freshness fades fast. In the end, it’s lasting affection that stands the test of time.”

His words were loaded with meaning, striking directly at the nerve Elowyn could barely hold together.

Jack frowned slightly and looked at Benjamin. “That was a bit much, don’t you think?”
