Chapter 52

CHAPTER 52 Rebecca’s body jerked in response to the unforeseen kiss. Her eyes widened in full.Though she was greatly surprised for a second, it didn’t last long. After all, she knew men were like this.You give them an inch, and they would try to take up the whole space.

However, before she reacted, Benjamin moved his head back and said, “Sorry. I didn’t meant to do that. Iwas moving my head, and my mouth ended up touching your neck. I promise.”

Benjamin sounded really convincing. It didn’t seem like he was making things up, so she couldn’t rebukehim. “I-It’s fine.”

Benjamin didn’t want to get up from her bed, but he didn’t want to look bad, either, so he painstakinglystood and went to his bed.

And then they waited for the doctor. Rebecca still felt a bit awkward, so she covered herself with theblanket. Still, the moment when his lips pecked her neck kept popping in her mind, and her body beganacting weird. A strange sense of pleasure coursed through her blood, and she couldn’t rest comfortablyno matter the position she assumed. Her ankle was still far from complete wasn’t worried about thatmuch as she rolled on the bed to the left and right.

Benjamin just sat and kept looking at her, wondering if he disturbed her sleep. He felt a little bit guilty.

He wanted to do something. After some thinking, he began to sing in a sweet-toned voice that was easyon the ears.

“Two lives

One dream;

Four eyes

One sight…”

Rebecca opened her eyes and was all ears while still buried under her blanket.

“Two Tongues

One voice;

Four legs

One stand…”

As Benjamin continued to sing, she found her heart beating in strange rhythms.

“Two stomachs

One meal;

Four claws

One foe;

Two hearts

One beat;

Four wings One flight…” Even though Rebecca was resting, she found her blood rushing and swellingher emotions as her heart surrendered to his words.

“Two birds

One love; Four directions

One destination.”

Benjamin stopped. The song ended, but it had already made her hunger and thirst for more. Benjaminthought a little song would help her sleep, but it only excited her wee little heart. She felt like he had hisway with her by putting the profound bond between two love birds into words that stirred her soul andmade her feel guilty at the same time.

After all, even though she and Benjamin were married, she acted far from being a proper wife. She knewthat, but his song made it all the more clear and striking as to how far their bond was compared to truelove birds and made her wonder how life would have turned out had she been a loving wife to Benjamin.

“Looking the world through your eyes…” Rebecca felt sad as she thought about it. “I haven’t doneanything like that. Feeling your hunger, shaking your dream, fighting for your goal, and speaking on yourbehalf… I haven’t done any of those either. All I did… was worry about myself. Care only about mypriorities.” She was beginning to realize just how wrong she had been, not just in treating Benjamin as ahusband but also the way she had been living so self centeredly.

His words had made his wish clear. He wanted her to be his partner. He wanted both of them to be likelove birds that were each other’s breath of life and could never be separated as long as their hearts hadthe strength to function.

“You are a wonderful guy, Benjamin…” she thought. “My hatred for you can’t seem to prevail over yourlove for me. It makes me wonder if I’m worthy to be your wife.”

The doctor entered the room after knocking. “I was really shocked to see the escalator,” he lookedsurprised and happy. “Whose idea was it?”

Benjamin, however, wore a poker face. “Please sit down and treat me, doctor.” “O-Okay, but…” thedoctor checked upon Benjamin’s wounds. “How could let others hit you like this? Didn’t you fight back?”

“I slipped in the bathroom and suffered these wounds,” said Benjamin. “Your wife already told me whathappened, though.” “Oh…” Benjamin felt slightly embarrassed. Rebecca chuckled a little from under theblanket.

The doctor chortled and poked Benjamin’s cheek, making him frown. He took out some tablets from hisbag and then an injection. Benjamin’s heart skipped a beat. “D-Doctor, I don’t want an injection.”

“What? But it’ll be effective,” the doctor advised.

“No, doctor,” Benjamin looked at the needle like he was looking at a demon. “What no? You’ll thank melater,” the doctor still tried to jab him in the shoulder, but Benjamin jumped and rolled of the bed and ranout, shouting he didn’t want to get jabbed.“ What the heck?” the doctor couldn’t believe it. “He’s an adult,and he still fears a needle? What is he? A housecat?” he could only shake his head.

Rebecca pulled the blanket down and looked at the doctor with a smile on his face. She had no idea thatBenjamin feared the needle so much. “Doctor, leave that injection here. I’ll do it after he sleeps.”

“Ah, okay, but do you know how to do it?” . “I can look it up on the internet.” The doctor’s expression fellflat. “No thanks.” “Eh? Why? I can do it, doctor. Trust me!”

He put the tablets down and said, “Maybe another time, when I’m supervising.” Saying that he left.

Rebecca seemed a little angry and disappointed. She pulled the blanket over. “I never really liked thisfamily doctor, and now I think I know why!”

Meanwhile, in the Sunshine casino. Alfred tried to enter the casino, dressed up as a beggar amongbeggars. Even the walking stick and bowl he used were dirtier than soles of pigs.

Naturally, the guard standing at the entrance had a problem with that. He warned with a straight face,“This is the third time. Try entering again, and I’ll put my baton to use. Don’t blame me afterward.” Hepushed Alfred back with the tip of the baton.

“Hmph,” Alfred snorted. “How rude of a dude you are. I’m only here to pick up a lost card, and you treatme like I’m worse than shit.”

“Because you are,” the guard was blunt. “Now go away.” “I ain’t going anywhere until I get the card.”“What card? Are you trying to cook up some nonsense to get in now?” the guard was losing his patience.“If you want to beg, do it elsewhere, where it’s lawful and appropriate. Here.” He took a dollar note andthrew it in Alfred’s face.

Alfred picked up the dollar note and shoved it in his pocket. “Fine. I’ll honor your weedy kindness andcome back after your shift is over.”

“Huh?” the guard couldn’t believe this beggar’s words, but since the beggar was walking away, he didn’tstop him.
