Female Novel
Chapter 660
Benedict grabbed her hand. Although his face looked very weak, he forced himself to speak andsaid, "No, I won't go to the hospital."
"You're already in this state. Why won't you go to the hospital?" Although Minerva couldn't tell whatwas wrong with him, she could see that he was in agony from how pale he was and from the coldsweat dripping down his forehead.
However, he stared at her with a weak smile on his face.
"You wouldn't care for me as much as you do now once I get on an ambulance. So... I'd rather diehere than go to the hospital."
"Are you crazy? You're in so much pain."
"I'm not crazy," Benedict clutched her hand tightly and the pain in his eyes was more wrenchingthan the look on his face. "I'm seizing an opportunity for myself. Why... Why can't you look at me foronce? If you think I'm crazy, then so be it."novelbin
Minerva felt a little guilty with him looking like this. After all, he was beaten up because of her.Although she felt that Maddox was a little impulsive...
Her heart was all over the place.
She wanted to pull her hand back, but Benedict held onto it tightly. Looking at how weak he was,she couldn't bear to push him away. She didn't want to be the bad guy. All she could at that momentwas comfort him.
"Don't say anything more. The ambulance will be here soon."
Minerva looked around and took out her phone to check the location of the hospital. She said, "Iremember that the nearest hospital is not far from here. It should take about eight minutes to getthere."
She looked at Benedict and said, "Which part of you is hurting? Let me know so I can tell the doctorlater."
However, he just looked at her, speechless. Although his face was drained of color from the pain, hedidn't seem to care.
How could this happen? She felt her head starting to throb, "Benedict, you should go to the hospitalif you're not well. How will you get better if you don't go? If you faint later, I won't be responsible toget you up."
His eyes started to lose focus. He stared at her dazedly. Suddenly, he grinned and said, "If I go tothe hospital, will you come with me?"
"I have to pick Beanie up. You..."
He closed his eyes with a look of understanding and smiled ruefully.
"Of course. For someone like me, no one would know even if I died in the hospital."
Seeing him like this, Minerva couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "When the ambulance arrives,Beanie should be out by then. After I send him home, I'll go to the hospital immediately to see you,or... Ill call your employees and let them..."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hospital."
Seeing that he agreed, Minerva couldn't say anything else. She could only nervously wait by theside for the ambulance. The ambulance had yet to arrive when Beanie came out. When he saw his
mother, he happily ran over towards her.
"Mommy."
"Beanie," Minerva waved at him. He walked up to her side and snuggled up to her. Then, he lookedover at Benedict, who was propped up against the wall weakly.
"Hey, what's wrong with him?"
"He's not feeling well and I'm waiting for the ambulance. Can you wait for me for a while?"
Beanie nodded very sensibly, "Of course, I'll wait with you."
"Thank you, Beanie."
Minerva was naturally happy to see how considerate Beanie was.
Benedict leaned against the wall and sat there, feeling fatigued. When he heard Beanie's voice, heslowly opened his eyes. Looking into his dark round eyes, he forced a smile.
"Beanie, you're here..."
"Hi Ben," Beanie waved at him.
"I'm sorry, but today... I'm afraid I won't be able to take you for something nice."
"That's okay." Beanie blinked innocently and said, "You're not feeling well. Close your eyes and rest.Mommy and I will be here with you until the ambulance arrives."
He stared at the face in front of him. Beanie was practically the spitting image of Maddox. Naturally,he understood the love Maddox had for Minerva and that there was no way he would let her go.
If Maddox saw how similar to him Beanie looked, wouldn't Benedict have no chance at all in thefuture.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes again and said sorrowfully, "I'm feeling really sick. Can you andyour mommy... accompany me to the hospital?"
But
"I don't have any relatives. The hospital is too lonely."
He said with a wry smile. Because he closed his eyes, the emotions in his eyes were hidden.
He felt a little bad lying to an innocent child.
But what could he do? Minerva remained unfazed. He had no choice but to target the child instead.
He had treated Beanie well and was on a first-name basis with him. There was no way Minervawould be able to say no to her son, right?
However, he underestimated Beanie.
Although Beanie was a five-year-old, he was not an ordinary child. His intellect was different fromthat of other children.
Beanie blinked his eyes and glanced at his mother. Then, he refused seriously, "Do you not haveany relatives? I remember you run a company. I can ask Mommy to call the ladies in your companyfor you and tell them that you feel lonely in the hospital."
"Humph, I don't want me and Mommy to keep him company," Beanie thought.
Although he didn't hate Benedict, he wouldn't allow him to break his parents apart.
Benedict opened his eyes and looked at the child before him. Beanie was staring right at him withhis eyes as clear as day.
However, it made Benedict shudder for no apparent reason.
He felt that this child seemed to be able to see through him.
Was it all in his head?
Before Benedict could react, the sound of ambulance sirens approaching could be heard.
"The ambulance is here."
Soon, the ambulance stopped on the side of the road. Benedict was carried into the ambulance.Before he got in, his eyes never left her as he muttered.
"Don't... forget the promise you made me, Minerva."
"Is your family not coming with you?" The nurse eyed Minerva and Beanie strangely before closingthe door.
Minerva came back to her senses. Just as she was about to reply, Beanie, who was beside her,spoke up for her.
"We are not his family. My mommy just happened to be here when he fell sick, so she called anambulance for him." "Oh?" The nurse suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "I see. Thank you then."
"There's no need to thank me. Well be on our way now then."
Minerva still wanted to speak, but Beanie led her away. The nurse stared at Beanie walk off into thedistance and said, "Do kids these days look this good?"
