Chapter 137: A Tale of Lilies
How could you treat Charlotte like this…” Edward’s eyes burned as he stared at her. “But when Eleanor did something wrong, you treated her like nothing happened!”
“You!” Vanessa glanced up unhappily and looked at her son in dissatisfaction.
“How could you talk to me like this, Edward?” She called him by his name, her tone filled with anger.
“Alright!” At that moment, Christopher suddenly spoke up, interrupting the mother and son who seemed to be at war with each other.
His eyebrows furrowed, and there was a stern look on his face. “This matter is indeed Eleanor’s fault! An apology must be made, and punishment must
given out!”
He cast a glance at Vanessa, his tone turning cold. “Besides, you are too biased! Charlotte is your own daughter. Even if you still don’t love her, don’t hurt her!”
“L…” She opened her mouth to retort.
But Christopher pulled his eyes away and stopped looking at her.
On the hospital bed, Eleanor bit her lip.
Tears were undeniably streaming from her eyes, and she closed them with some embarrassment.
In her heart, she felt incomparably ashamed.
In the building across from the hospital.
Max removed the nano headphones from his ears.
Earlier, when he had sneaked into Eleanor’s ward, he had placed a hidden bug there.
Because of that, he could hear every sound in the ward through his headphones.
Since Eleanor had already confessed the truth, he wouldn’t hurt her.
He tossed the long gun in his hand to the side.
Max turned and headed for the door.
“Mr. Foster.” Lance hurriedly followed, respectfully inquiring, “Are we going to the Company or back to Greenside Garden?”
Max’s footsteps staggered.
“Back to Greenside Garden,” he answered without hesitation.
The girl, Charlotte, was resting there.
Now that the slander and injustice she had suffered had been cleared up, she should-
She should be happy now…
Thinking like that, a trace of gentleness that even he hadn’t noticed crossed his deep eyes.
In the hospital ward.
The crowd dispersed again.
Only Benjamin remained alone at the bedside to watch over Eleanor.

She was already tired of crying.
There were still tears on her face that were just beginning to dry.
He just looked at her quietly, his thin lips parted without saying a word.
“Benjamin…” Eleanor was a little worried by his look and couldn’t help but call out in a low voice.
“Uh–huh,” he replied expressionlessly.
There was no emotion to be seen on his handsome and gloomy face.
“Don’t you like me anymore?” She took a deep breath, her emotions a little unsteady.
air of big eyes were filled with a look of pity.
Benjamin’s expression paused for a moment when he heard this.
He didn’t seem to expect her to suddenly ask that.
After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said a single word: “No.”
Even if Eleanor had done something wrong, he would forgive her.
No matter what she would become, he would still love her.
No matter how much time had passed, he would always remember the promise he had made in his heart as a child-
To protect Eleanor for the rest of his life.
When she heard Benjamin’s answer, her heart was quite touched. She pursed her lips slightly and the corners of her lips pulled out a very shallow smile. “Benjamin, I knew you would be good to me…”
“Right.” She seemed to suddenly think of something and unconsciously looked behind him. “Benjamin, I just saw you holding something in your hand.
What is it?”
Her eyes suddenly lit up. “Is it a gift for me?”
Benjamin had brought something special for Eleanor.
Ofiginally, he was going to give it to her earlier…
He did not realize that he forgot to take it out after what happened before.
He nodded, and a trace of inexplicable emotion crossed his warm, clear, sunken eyes. “It is indeed for you.”
Having said that, he handed over something he had put aside in front of Eleanor.
It was a bunch of flowers.
To be precise, it was a handful of white gypsophila.
It was romantic, beautiful, pure and passionate.
“I hope you can recover quickly, so I brought you a bouquet of flowers.” He adjusted the gold–rimmed glasses on the high bridge of his nose and said in a deep voice.
Eleanor took it immediately.
Her eyes widened in surprise, the sockets of her eyes radiating bright colors. “It is so beautiful.”
Immediately after, she looked at Benjamin again and frowned slightly. “But why did you give me lilies?”
Out of all the flowers, why did it have to be lilies?
Her favorite flower was actually the white rose…

Eleanor did not like lilies very much.
So, she was a little confused.
Benjamin was silent for a moment, and his cool eyes unconsciously fell on the flowers in front of him
Why send lilies…
Because the story of him and Eleanor started with that flower.
He would always remember what happened that year.
At that time, he was only eleven years old.
er a whole year of treatment in the hospital, his mother finally couldn’t bear the torture of her illness and passed away.
He said goodbye to her in front of the hospital bed, to the woman who was already withered and inhuman.
She used to be so elegant and beautiful.
But when she left, she was like a shell that had lost its vitality.
He did not cry.
At that time, he did not have a clear concept of death and thought that his mother had simply fallen asleep.
It wasn’t until his mother turned to ash and was buried under a gravestone that he realized-
He would never have his mother again…
