Pampered By My Mr. Lawyer (Benjamin and Madelyn) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 She Was Also Hurting

After finishing her speech, Madelyn clutched her chest lightly.

The pain was so intense that she wondered if she could even breathe.

She never imagined that they would end up like this.

Benjamin fixed his intense gaze on her, his eyes filled with a touch of anger and sadness unlike anything Madelyn had seen before.

She even had the feeling that he might slap her at any moment.

But, to her surprise, he refrained from doing so.

Meanwhile, Benjamin looked at her and chuckled softly. "I remember you gave Eloise a talisman to bless her. And now you want her dead?"

Madelyn laughed and glanced at Benjamin. "Mr. Clark, if you go easy on my father and me, I can ensure that everyone stays safe and happy."

Benjamin chuckled along, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. "Well, well. You truly are something, Madelyn Green. No wonder both Daniel Campbell and David James fell for you."

He then lightly pinched her sharp and pretty chin.

Leaning in, his voice laced with danger, "I didn't realize that you were all thorns, Madelyn Green. Perhaps I should pluck them for you."

Madelyn's eyes were teary, and her nose was red.

She knew that Benjamin had compromised...

Her body suddenly went limp and she felt a stabbing pain in her stomach. She didn't know where it was coming from, but it only grew more intense by the second.

Despite the agony, Madelyn struggled to keep up appearances, her face turning ashen as she fought to hide her pain.

"Please, Mr. Clark, leave now," she muttered, her voice strained.

It was over...

Her relationship with Benjamin had come to a bitter end.

Benjamin rose from his seat with a determined stride, and it was obvious he was determined to end things for good.

The tea table still bore the evidence of Samuel Green's "guilt", and he left it to her.

Benjamin walked towards the door with purpose.

But before he left, he hesitated - a rare moment of indecisiveness for such a typically cold and calculated man.

He yearned to ask Madelyn one more time if she truly intended to leave him.

But as he turned around, his heart sank at the sight of her collapsed beside the tea table. Her delicate body was curled up and her face was drained of color, leaving Benjamin to realize the damage he had caused.

"Madelyn!" he cried out, rushing over to cradle her in his arms.

"Madelyn, what happened? Let me take you to the hospital," he urgently offered.

Without uttering a word, Madelyn allowed him to lift her up and carry her to the car.

Every inch of her body was wracked with unbearable pain, her lower abdomen burning as though set ablaze.

She could hardly keep herself upright, and even lying down felt like a torturous ordeal.

Madelyn had a hunch that her pain was related to their earlier tryst - her body had been unprepared for Benjamin's insatiable lust.

"Ben..." she murmured, her voice strained and barely above a whisper.

"It hurts so much!" She leaned heavily against him, momentarily forgetting their earlier argument.

At that moment, Madelyn found solace in his comforting embrace.

Benjamin was, after all, a man with a duty to protect their loved one.

Despite their fight, he couldn't bear to leave her in such a painful, excruciating state.

He carried her into the car and handed her a cup of water.

"Here, drink some water. It's hot," he urged.

Madelyn attempted to twist off the cap, but it was too tight.

Without further thought, Benjamin reached out and effortlessly unscrewed the cap for her.

He knew that they needed to get to the hospital right away. So he drove straight to the nearest medical center, not bothering to call anyone he knew.

And though Madelyn felt slightly relieved after drinking some water, she was still suffering.

Her lower abdomen was swollen and heavy, and her discomfort was evident.

Madelyn slumped back into the chair, her face pale.

"Ben...thank you." She murmured softly.

"Don't say a word. I'll take you to the hospital," Benjamin interrupted in a surprisingly gentle voice.

It was a rare occasion for him to be so tender, especially considering the intense argument they'd just had. They were even on the verge of calling it quits.

Madelyn's heart softened.

She knew they were both irrational in the heat of the moment.

Deep down, she trusted that he would never cause any harm to her father. The "fair" exchange was just a meaningless threat.
