Chapter 216 Let's Get Divorced
Madelyn gave birth to a baby girl.
Everest, weighing less than four kilograms, was immediately placed in an incubator after birth.
Alexander and his wife, and Kenneth only glanced briefly at Everes before rushing to see Madelyn. Madelyn had been moved to a VIP ward, lying there weakly, seemingly asleep.
Kenneth approached her and gently placed her hands under the blanket.
He didn't say a word, just sat by the bedside, staring at Madelyn intently, afraid she would wake up without anyone caring for her.
...
Outside, Eloise had been on the phone for 16 hours.
She made hundreds of calls, all to Benjamin.
Finally, he answered...
At that moment, Benjamin was in Monatiz. He went straight to court when he got off the plane and didn't even turn on his phone.
After winning the lawsuit in Dimont, the court immediately announced Benjamin's victory. William and his wife thanked him and invited him to their home.
Benjamin politely declined.
While the two sides were still pulling and tugging at each other, Benjamin took out his phone and smiled. "I guess I'm being pestered at home!"
He turned on his phone, expecting to see many missed work calls as usual.
But when he unlocked it, his phone started buzzing like crazy.
He had over 500 missed calls, all from Gredax.
Eloise called again, and he quickly answered, "Eloise, what happened?"
Eloise's voice was choked up with emotion. "Brother, please return as soon as possible!" The villa... it blew up. Madelyn gave birth to Everest early, and the baby is in critical condition... Madelyn had been in labor for 16 hours... sobbing... Why did you go to Monatiz? Why did you leave Madelyn alone at home? Do you know how she looked when she was transported to the hospital... sobbing..."
Benjamin froze.
He almost lost the ability to move.
From wherever they came, the media was eager to interview him at that moment, putting their cameras in front of him.
Benjamin rudely pushed them away.
He walked out quickly. A car awaited him outside the courthouse to take him to the airport. A bouquet of white roses was on the back seat, and he wanted to bring them to Madelyn.
It could calm her down.
But deep down, he knew it was over between them.
Benjamin stumbled his way through the journey!
...
It was 20 hours later when Benjamin saw Madelyn.
Madelyn was dressed in a hospital gown and stood at the hospital's neonatal critical care unit entrance, peering through the glass at the little infant inside.
Just two or three days had passed.
She had become much thinner.
The clothes hung loosely on her, and from the side, her chin looked sharp, her face no larger than a palm.
She had been in good shape before.
Benjamin's voice was hoarse as he called out to her, "Madelyn!"
Madelyn maintained her posture, motionless, but her body stiffened.
She knew he had come back...
But so what?
She didn't know how to face him. She couldn't even cry.
Benjamin strolled towards her.
He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. "You just gave birth to the baby. Standing for too long like this will leave a lingering health issue."
She shrugged off the coat.
The black coat fell to the ground...
Benjamin silently picked it up, and then he saw the little baby in the incubator, lying there wrinkled, barely moving, with a pale complexion.
