Chapter 267 He Stubbornly Stayed by Her Side

Night fell.

The villa was brightly lit, the hall filled with light.

Madelyn hadn't forgotten that she was Everest's mother. She was tormented inside, but she remained gentle and patient with Everest.

Everest was frightened, leaning against her leg and asking pitifully, "When will Daddy come back?"

Madelyn caressed her face, about to speak, when the sound of a car came from the entrance. Immediately, she took Everest's hand and walked out, filled with unprecedented anxiety. Benjamin stepped out of the car, his gaze locking with hers.

Their eyes met, and neither could look away.

After a while, Benjamin slowly approached, gently lifting Everest and giving her a kiss. But his words were meant for Madelyn: "I'm fine, don't scare Everest!"

Madelyn's eyes welled up with tears, still watching him intently.

Benjamin lightly embraced her shoulder, their foreheads touching. "I'm really fine! Madelyn, I've come back well!"

Madelyn's lips trembled.

She knew she should restrain herself but couldn't help leaning against his shoulder, silently crying. His shirt became damp, uncomfortable with the warmth.

"Madelyn!" He gently patted her as if soothing a child.

At that moment, Alexander walked over, signaling for a servant to take Everest away!

He had always cherished Madelyn, but with such an incident happening at home and Eloise being unreliable, Madelyn needed to grow up to be able to handle things for Ben! Alexander softly said, "From now on, everything in and out of the house will rely on you!"

Benjamin couldn't bear it.

But he knew better than anyone that he had to let go even if he didn't want to!

Father was getting old and wouldn't be able to hold on forever.

Madelyn was the only hope for this family!

Benjamin couldn't bear to push her too hard and gently touched Madelyn's cheek, saying hoarsely, "Let's talk about it later!" Madelyn, however, calmed down.

She took his hand and whispered, "Go check on Mom. She's been in the kitchen all this time. I know she's been crying secretly!" Benjamin grunted in agreement.

He changed into a fresh set of clothes and walked into the kitchen.

Brianna stood in front of the stove, quietly wiping away her tears.

Benjamin approached her and gently pressed down on her shoulder, tenderly saying, "Mom! I'm fine, aren't I?"

Brianna was truly heartbroken.

She regretted severing ties with the Bennett family before. If they hadn't, Benjamin wouldn't have had that period with Eleanor, and things wouldn't have turned out like this... He and Madelyn were just about to start their happy life together.

They had just had a child again!

They numbly finished the dinner.

In the end, Benjamin still let his parents go back early.

It was late at night.

Madelyn lay on the bed in the master bedroom with Everest nestled in her arms, soothing the little one to sleep.

Perhaps frightened, Everest woke up several times.

Benjamin smoked two cigarettes in the study before returning to the bedroom. As he closed the door, he whispered, "Is she asleep?"

"Yes!"

He walked over and lay behind her with his clothes on, gently holding her slender waist.

Madelyn trembled slightly.

She closed her eyes a little and felt his warmth.

Benjamin began kissing her neck, loving her like before, but their hearts were still filled with sadness. No one knew what would happen tomorrow!

Their love couldn't continue...

Benjamin pressed against Madelyn's ear and said in a hoarse voice, "Madelyn, don't be afraid!"

Madelyn suddenly turned her body and hugged him tightly.

Her body was soft, clinging to his strong body like a vine clinging to a sturdy branch, dependent on each other...

Benjamin lowered his head to kiss her, broken and intermittent kisses, full of sorrow.

He was rarely vulnerable, but he was willing to expose himself in front of his wife. On this gentle and sad night, he begged her not to let him go...

"I won't, I won't!" she choked.

Benjamin held her slender body in his arms, his lips next to her ear. "Madelyn, say that you are mine... Say it to me, okay?"

Madelyn tilted her head back in his embrace.

Her eyes were filled with tears, but she bravely told him, "Ben, I'm yours! And you're mine too! This time, I won't give you up to anyone!" Benjamin slightly closed his eyes. "Mrs. Clark is really domineering!"

He wanted to act as if everything was normal, but his trembling voice betrayed his innermost feelings!

He was afraid...

He was afraid of forgetting his wife and children.

He was afraid that his Everest wouldn't have her father to care for her.

He was even more afraid that his beloved wife would have to work hard to care for their two children and manage their vast business empire.

The news of the trouble at Everest Group was completely blocked off.

Benjamin worked from home while Paisley shuttled back and forth. After a few days, Benjamin didn't feel uncomfortable except for occasional dizziness.

He couldn't help but think that maybe the doctor got it wrong -

The medication wasn't as powerful as they thought!

He wouldn't lose his memory of Madelyn, and he wouldn't forget his Everest!

One early morning a week later, Benjamin came back from his jog with a fresh long-stemmed rose in hand, a gift for Madelyn.

It was only 7 o'clock, and she was still asleep!

Benjamin tiptoed inside, bending down to gaze at her sleeping face. His heart softened.

He placed the rose by her pillow and couldn't resist kissing her.

So gentle, so soft!

He stood up smiling but suddenly felt dizzy, and his mind went blank. For a moment, he couldn't even remember Madelyn's name.

All he knew was that she was his lover!

Benjamin sat down weakly against the headboard, trying to restrain himself from making any sound!

When he left the bedroom, he stumbled and staggered...

He pushed the study open and reached into a drawer to retrieve a medication bottle. His hands trembled as he unscrewed the cap and swallowed a pill. He slowly calmed himself down.

He sat alone in the study, lost in his thoughts.

He knew that he was starting to forget things - forgetting Madelyn and everything they had once shared!

He couldn't accept it. He wanted to hold onto these memories.

Benjamin started writing in his diary, spending all day in the study, meticulously recording every detail of his past with Madelyn.

"She is my beloved, Madelyn!"

"She loves playing the piano and wearing clothes from xx brand."

"Every day, I would bring her roses."

"Our first child is named Everest, a precious gift from Madelyn! Everest has health issues, coagulation disorders, and an Rh-negative blood type..."

"Madelyn is pregnant again, already over six weeks! I must take care of her."

"Madelyn can't drive."

"When Madelyn hugs me, it means she wants me to kiss her. At that moment, no matter how important things are, I have to put them aside and give her a kiss. She may be a young girl, but she is already the mother of our two children. Madelyn likes it when I call her 'little mommy"!"

After three days, Benjamin had written a thick volume.

Every night, he sat quietly, reading it over and over again, trying to retain the memories.

But some of them were already blurred!

Outside, Madelyn entered the room, carrying a fruit tray.

In the instant the door opened, she caught sight of the diary. Although he quickly put it away, Madelyn still figured it out.

These days, Benjamin didn't go to the company.

He relied on Paisley.

Even when he occasionally went out, he never drove! He was actually forgetting things but stubbornly trying to keep himself by her side.
