The Tycoon's Deepest Repentance (Sophia and Ryan) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 139: Sudden lilness 

Chapter 139: Sudden Illness 

Benjamin did not expect Eleanor to suddenly confess. 

In the past, she had a marriage contract with Max Foster, so he had protected her like a brother. 

He thought that even if they couldn’t be together, it did not matter. 

As long as he could protect her in silence, it was enough… 

Now she was telling him herself that she wanted to be with him…. 

njamin’s long, slender fingers tightened slightly, and his thin lips pursed, 

He fell silent. 

“Benjamin…” Eleanor stared in disbelief. She did not expect that he would hesitate and be silent at this time, 

He unexpectedly did not answer…. 

Benjamin’s narrow eyes, hidden behind his glasses, were flooded with a calm, quiet light. 

The silence was long. 

Faintly, he lifted his thin lips and said in a cool, deep tone, “Eleanor, I’m sorry.” 

Sorry? 

“Benjamin, why are you apologizing?” Eleanor’s fingers gripped the man’s arm, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. “Why?” 

Benjamin looked at the girl in front of him with complicated eyes. 

This girl he had cherished and treasured for more than ten years… 

It unexpectedly ended up being a complete misunderstanding! 

He had loved the wrong person and protected the wrong person. 

When the truth came out, all he could feel was the fatalistic feeling of being teased by fate. 

If he had found that girl back then when he received the first bouquet of flowers, everything would have been different. 

“Benjamin, I thought you loved me…” His attitude made Eleanor completely cold. Before he would promise her anything, but now he just rejected her 

confession. 

Large tears flowed from her eyes, and her pale face was suddenly filled with tear stains. 

Benjamin’s eyebrows furrowed, and he unconsciously reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, but just as he was about to touch her face… 

His hand stopped again. 

“Why are you crying?” He did not move his hand back and spat the sentence out of his mouth. 

Eleanor bit her lips and cried harder. 

Her heart kept pounding with pain. 

At this moment, it was even harder and more heartbreaking than when she had just confessed the truth about her injury and been rebuked by everyone. 

She sucked in her breath and said in a slurred voice, “Benjamin, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly… change?” 

His heart was also confused.

He slightly lowered his eyes, and seeing this heartbroken look of Eleanor, he couldn’t help but tenderly comfort her, “Eleanor, in the future… I will continue to protect you like a brother…” 

“I don’t want to!” She suddenly raised her voice. She had been in tears for a long time and looked miserable. “Benjamin, you should understand… want to be with you. I don’t want to be your sister… It was out of the question in the past, and now there is no one to stop us…” 

Benjamin looked straight at her, unable to speak for a moment. 

Before, of course, he was happy to be with her. 

But now… 

He couldn’t love Eleanor anymore. 

just wanted to find the girl who sold flowers and do what he could to find her. 

He did not even want to think about the rest. 

“Sorry.” Benjamin apologized to her once again. His thin lips moved slightly, and there was a strong determination in his demeanor. “Eleanor, I can only treat you as a sister.” 

With these words, his decision was already made clear. 

Eleanor’s entire body froze, like a puppet that had lost its strings while staring straight at him. 

“Benjamin, you…” Her expression could be described as grief–stricken. 

The man she had always treated as her lover since childhood was suddenly telling her that he could only treat her as his… sister. 

Could there be anything more absurd, more painful than that? 

She did not catch her breath and immediately closed her eyes, leaning straight back and lying down on the bed. 

“Eleanor…” Benjamin’s handsome face flashed a hint of panic, and he quickly stood up to go notify the doctor. 

The hospital room was once again in chaos. 

At the Greenside Garden. 

Charlotte was alone under the blankets. 

Her eyes were closed tightly. 

After leaving the hospital, she was taken home by Max. 

When she got home, she went straight to bed. 

Her head was still like a slurry. 

She fell asleep in a daze, half asleep, half awake. 

Just then… 

The door to the bedroom was gently pushed open. 

The sound of a wheelchair came from the side of the door. 

Max had returned. 

He changed clothes, got into the wheelchair, and quietly walked into Charlotte’s room. 

In the dim light, he could just make out her slightly protruding head on the bed. 

He 

came 

to her side.

His quiet and deep gaze fell on her. 

His breathing was very light, just looking at her quietly. 

As if he was afraid of waking the person in the bed. 

After looking at her for a while, Max saw that the young lady was sleeping peacefully, so he was ready to turn around and leave- 

Unexpectedly, Charlotte moved slightly at this time, and the small half of her face was exposed by the blanket. 

Max couldn’t help but let his eyes light up. 

For the girl’s cheeks were not the usual pale color, but were slightly red. 

flotte’s face looked quite strange! 

Max immediately reached out and touched her forehead. 

It was very hot! 

“Charlotte.” The man lifted the blanket covering her head and called to her in a low voice. 

A rare trace of panic crossed his handsome and incomparable cheeks. 

His deep, dark eyes had lost their usual calm. 

Charlotte, however, still had her eyes firmly closed.
