chapter 13

“Because I don’t love him.” Kathleen eyes were cold. You don’t love him? However, he thought thatKathleen actually loved Samuel. The previous night, hearing her roaring at Samuel hysterically, he knewthat she loved him. Otherwise, she would have given up on the fight from the beginning. She wasdevastated and upset only because she was in love with him. “He must have not known how good youare,” said Benjamin in a raspy voice. “It doesn’t matter how good I am. He doesn’t love me anyway.”Kathleen took a deep breath, then continued, “Let’s not talk about him anymore. Right, you said that youwanted to be a policeman when you were young. It turns out that you’ve actually become one now.”Benjamin smiled. In fact, it wasn’t him that wanted to be a policeman but Kathleen. There was one timewhen Gemma and Kathleen were talking about how seductive uniforms were, and he had borne it inmind since then. He knew that Kathleen liked policemen, so he became one. After she was adopted bythe Macari family, Gemma and he was also adopted by different families respectively. Even though theydidn’t keep in touch as much since then, he remembered everything that Kathleen had said. “Actually, apoliceman is only an occupation,” answered Benjamin. “I’m jealous of you and Gemma because youguys can do what you like. Samuel doesn’t let me go out and work. Otherwise, I would have alreadybecome famous,” said Kathleen in frustration. Benjamin smiled. “You’re only twenty-three years old. It’snot too late for you to debut now.” “You’re right.” Kathleen grinned. However, she didn’t have a chance todebut anymore. She had to give birth to a baby, so she didn’t have time for it. There was no hope for herto make a debut in the future too. If the others found out that she had an illegitimate child, Samuel woulddefinitely know about it too. For her baby, she could not appear in the public. She certainly would not doit. After eating, Kathleen went to pay the bill. She swiped her card but found that the transaction wasunsuccessful. What’s going on? Benjamin noticed the situation, so he paid with his card instead. “I’msorry about that.” Kathleen was helpless and awkward. Benjamin stared at the black card in her handand said, “Kathleen, spending other people’s money means you’re being controlled by them.” Kathleenpursed her lips. She agreed with Benjamin’s words. The black card was given to her by Samuel. Hence,he could freeze the card whenever he wanted. This man has gone overboard. I wonder what’s in hismind. “Let’s go. I’ll send you home,” said Benjamin. “Benjamin, you can carry on with your work. I stillhave other stuff to deal with,” said Kathleen gently. “Are you really going to be fine on your own?”

Benjamin frowned. “I’ll be okay.” Kathleen nodded. “All right, then.” Benjamin didn’t want to force her.Kathleen and he walked out of the restaurant together. When they arrived on the side of the road,Benjamin gathered his courage and said, “Kathleen, I still don’t have your contact number.” Kathleenblinked several times out of surprise. “Actually, Gemma wants it.” Benjamin used his sister as an excuse.“Okay.” Kathleen took out her phone. At that moment, a black motorcycle drove toward them. The manwho was on the motorcycle suddenly took out a baseball bat from behind. “Be careful!” Benjamin knewthat the man was targeting Kathleen. He pulled her into his arms to protect her. Bang! The baseball batlanded on the back of Benjamin’s head. “Benjamin!” Kathleen shouted in shock. However, Benjaminwrapped Kathleen tightly in his arms. He was afraid that the man would try to hurt her again. The mandidn’t attack them anymore. Initially, he had intended to end Kathleen’s life with one hit. What he neverexpected was that Benjamin would willingly sacrifice his life to protect her. He would be caught if hecontinued attacking. Hence, the man drove off. Kathleen held Benjamin in her arms as he was swayingand unable to stand upright. They then staggered backward and slumped onto the ground. Kathleenimmediately pulled out her phone to call the ambulance and the police. Soon, the ambulance arrived,and the paramedics carried Benjamin into the vehicle. The policemen and Kathleen went to a hospitalnearby. The hospital was Goodwill Hospital. The policemen were taking Kathleen’s statement. She wasdumbfounded the entire time. As she had never experienced something like that in her entire life, shewas completely stunned. The police officer noticed that she was not emotionally stable. Hence, he said,“Ms. Johnson, should I notify your family?” “I don’t have any family members. My parents are not hereanymore.” Kathleen then raised her head. Her eyes reddened as she continued, “Please make sure tocatch the culprit.” “Don’t worry, we will. It’s our colleague who’s injured. We will do our best in replaceing outthe culprit,” answered the police officer. “Thanks.” Tears streamed from Kathleen’s eyes. If Benjamin wasdead because of her, she didn’t know how she could give Gemma an explanation. “Kathleen!” Gemma’svoice was heard. Kathleen raised her head and saw Gemma running over in a nurse uniform. “You twoknow each other?” The police officer was surprised. “The injured person is my brother, and this is myfriend. I’m a nurse in this hospital,” replied Gemma. The police officer understood the situation and said,“We will be going back to investigate the incident now. I will notify you all if we have any updates.” “Okay.

Thanks for your hard work.” Gemma was calm. The police officer nodded and left. Looking at the bloodon Kathleen’s body, Gemma knew how serious Benjamin’s condition was. In fact, she was shaking. Dueto her occupation, she had faced many deaths in the past few years. Hence, she forced herself to remaincalm in any situation. “Kathleen.” Gemma reached out her hand and touched Kathleen’s face. Kathleenwas trying to hold her tears in. However, at that moment, she couldn’t help but burst out in tears.“Gemma, I’m sorry. Benjamin is hurt because he was trying to protect me. I should be the one lying onthe sickbed now.” If she caused Gemma to lose the only family member she had left, she would neverforgive herself. “Don’t be like this, Kathleen. Stop blaming yourself. My brother will certainly not want tosee you in this state. To him, the most important thing is to protect you.” Kathleen was stunned.“Everything is going to be all right. Benjamin will survive this. He’s reluctant to part with you and leavethis world.” Kathleen burst out in tears after hearing that. She didn’t want to drag anyone into the mess.However, Benjamin was still hurt because of her. Gemma couldn’t help but let her tears fall too. Shelowered her body and touched Kathleen’s forehead with her own. “It’s fine, Kathleen. We will all be okay.Everything will be over soon.” At that moment, the light above the operating room door was turned off. Adoctor came out from the room. Kathleen and Gemma walked over. “Dr. Green, how’s my brother?”Gemma knew Shawn Green, the doctor in charge. “The patient’s brain is severely injured. If he cansurvive for these three days, he will be fine. If he can’t…” Shawn looked at Gemma with a meaningfullook and continued, “You know what will happen since you’re also a medical personnel.” “Thanks, Dr.Green.” Gemma’s face turned pale. “You’re welcome. Don’t worry. We will do our best to treat yourbrother,” comforted Shawn. Gemma choked up, “Okay.” The eyes of Kathleen were reddened. Sheturned around and left. “Kathleen, where are you going?” asked Gemma in surprise. “I’ll come backsoon.” Kathleen gritted her teeth. She took the elevator upstairs. Everyone in the elevator was looking ather with odd gazes as they saw that she was covered in blood. “Miss, are you hurt?” asked a lady withconcern. Kathleen shook her head numbly as she answered, “I’m fine.” Right then, the elevator arrived ata floor. Kathleen stepped out of the elevator. She walked toward a ward, then pushed open the doorforcefully.
