Chapter 59: Even If It Means Death, You Won’t Let Go? However, previously she had only mentioned her desire to go to Carlsbad in front of Benjamin. Whendid she ever mention wanting to go to Korea?

Suddenly, Martina seemed to have realized something, and her expression instantly turned dark.

With an unwavering voice, as if holding some kind of evidence, she said, “Did you read my diary?”

Apart from that, Martina couldn’t understand how Benjamin could have gained a better understandingof her.

During her bad moods in the past, she liked to write in her diary, so it contained many of her innerthoughts.

It included her efforts over the years, the unequal gains she had obtained, and even some of her smallwishes.

For example, she wanted to go to the theme park with Benjamin, she wanted to go to Carlsbad andhave Benjamin by her side.

She also wanted to go to Korea and see what made it different from other countries. She wanted toexperience the culture there.

However, none of these things were ultimately realized, as she had already made up her mind to leave.

When she was leaving, she had originally planned to take the diary with her, but no matter how shesearched, she couldn’t replace it.

In the end, Martina gradually forgot about it, thinking that if she couldn’t replace it, Benjamin definitelywouldn’t be able to replace it either.

Who would have thought that something she had almost forgotten about would be brought up byBenjamin himself? It truly surprised Martina.

If this had happened a month ago, Martina would have been deeply moved by Benjamin bringing upthese things on his own, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Martina’s inner world remained unaffected, and she even felt a bit impatient.

“I don’t think it’s necessary. You’re a busy boss, and there’s no need to waste any time. -on-me. Justfocus on your own work,” Martina said, showing her reluctance.

However, it seems that Benjamin didn’t quite grasp Martina’s rejection. He asked, “What? Weren’tthese the places you wanted to go before?”

Martina originally wanted to keep quiet, but Benjamin persisted with an unyielding attitude. So shecould only speak up again, “Yes, I did want to go to those places before as you mentioned, but that wasin the past. I don’t want to go anymore.”

Benjamin was speechless and lost in thought, “Is Martina deliberately going against me, which is whyshe’s saying this?”

Actually, it was probably the first time Benjamin had been so straightforwardly and decisively rejectedby Martina, even before she fell into a coma.

Benjamin could also assume that Martina’s reactive responses had been due to her physical discomfortat the time.

But back then, in her clear state of mind, it had definitely been the first time.

Benjamin’s eyebrows furrowed once again, unable to contain his frustration, but he maintained hiscomposure and ask, “Then where do you want to go now?”

Martina’s gaze out the window resembled a tranquil lake, devoid of any ripples. Without even a hint ofcontemplation, she spoke, almost thoughtlessly, “I just want to replace a place where I can live without anydisturbance from you or the people around you.”

To put it simply, as long as Benjamin and those connected to him were absent, Martina would havefound happiness regardless of the location.

However, for Benjamin, those words had undeniably caused pain.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly, and the cold tension engulfed them once again. If a strandof hair were to fall to the ground at this moment, it would have likely made an audible sound.

Benjamin rose to his feet, placing his hands on either side of Martina, enveloping her in his embrace.

His unwavering gaze remained fixed on Martina’s face as he did not want to miss any subtle changes.

It was as if he could see through her as he asked, “Do you think that if you keep acting like this, I willeventually grow tired and let you go?”

Indeed, Martina held that perspective. Having realized the limitations of her assertive approach, sheopted for a gentler one, convinced that as long as the desired outcome was attained, it would beconsidered a triumph.

Who would have thought that Benjamin would see through her so quickly? Upon careful consideration,it’s understandable.

With Benjamin’s sharp intellect, it was not a difficult task for him to figure it out. Martina calmly asked,without any trace of panic, “Yes, so… when will you let me go?”

Someone like Benjamin, with his personality, would not tolerate being provoked and disobeyedrepeatedly by others in this manner.

Martina could sense that Benjamin’s patience had reached its limit, and he was on the verge ofexploding.

Unfortunately, Benjamin’s keen perception didn’t fail to grasp Martina’s inner thoughts.

He always managed to see through people’s minds with his deep and penetrating gaze, and Martinawas no exception.

“Martina,” he asked slowly, “do you believe that this will be the last time you can be away from my sidefor such a long time?”

Martina didn’t respond anything.

Of course, she believed it. As long as it was a promise made by Benjamin, there was no doubt that hewould fulfill it, as he possessed the necessary capabilities.

Martina could even sense that Benjamin was in a state where he would never let go, even in death.

However, Martina couldn’t comprehend what it was about herself that was worth Benjamin’s efforts tokeep.

Was it really a good idea to use such means to keep her by his side? And what could it possibly bringto him?

Neither of them spoke again, plunging the hospital room into a dreadful silence.

After what felt like an eternity, Martina broke the silence by speaking up, “Even if it means death, youwon’t let go?”

Benjamin’s brow furrowed intensely, as if he could sense the madness in Martina’s heart.

Then, without saying another word, he swiftly walked to the door of the hospital room. Suddenly, as ifhe remembered something, he glanced back at Martina with a profound look. “You best give up on thisidea as soon as possible. Don’t forget that you are not alone.”

At first, Martina didn’t understand the meaning behind his words. It wasn’t until a while later, when therewas no one else in the hospital room, that Martina finally grasped the implication.

So, was Benjamin indirectly threatening her again? What was the meaning by “you are not alone”?

Martina racked her brain, pondering intensely, and suddenly a bold speculation formed in her mind.

Could it be that Benjamin was planning to harm her father? He really dared to do anything.

There had never been anything Benjamin wanted to do but didn’t dare to. Even the most outrageousthings, Benjamin could always manipulate and control with ease:

Unfortunately, this time, Martina became an unexpected factor. Benjamin had thought that their livestogether had long been accustomed to each other, and there wouldn’t changes between them.

However, the final outcome was always disappointing. It turned out that many things could not bechanged simply by words alone.
