"Since there is at least one thing about me that doesn't make you feel disgusting, Sean, let's call a stop to it, I won't say that you can't handle September again, and you don't have to mock me anymore."
Sean said cheerfully, "I agree."
I asked: "Sean, do you know Edith?"
"Who is she?"
After leaving the beach, I took a taxi back to Elysia, but Benjamin disappeared news for three days without a trace.
It was as if that he vanished.
He didn't even call me once. I was terrified and sad when he disappeared.
He clearly said that I had the responsibility to defend him.
But he tore up this promise with his own hands.
When I saw him again, I was in the hospital. At that time, due to the shortage of manpower in the police station near the Lunar New Year, Bob and I were temporarily dispatched to field service, which meat solving trivial matters.
Which meant stopping drunken f*ckers from fighting.
Bob dragged me to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, I discovered that my sister Jeanie was the one who called the police.
The reason was simple, Victoria hit her.
How did Jeanie and Victoria even meet each other?
Bob asked why, and Jeanie explained that she came to the hospital with a friend, but because she slipped and fell to the ground and bumped into Victoria, Victoria slapped her right in the face.
No need to guess, according to Jeanie's temperament, there was no way that she apologized after that, and Victoria, the daughter of a wealthy family, might have never seen such a person, so she simply taught her a lesson.
Victoria frowned and said, "It was this little animal who started the whole thing! She called me names!"
Judging from the fact that Victoria, the gentle lady, had already called Jeanie "animal", I could guess what nasty words Jeanie said to her earlier.
I reached out and held Jeanie's shoulders, and convinced her: "Just apologize to her."
Jeanie exploded: "You f*cking traitor. Have I ever asked you if it was your fault when I stood up for you? And what are you doing now? You want me to apologize to this f*cking c*nt?!"
Jeanie blamed me for not being on her side no matter what.
Victoria gritted her teeth and said, "Who did you just call a c*nt?"
I looked at Victoria with some doubts. It was just a cold and some wine, how could she have stayed in the hospital for three days?
She seemed to have just realized who I was, and smiled: "So you two know each other! No wonder she's like this!" Victoria was supported by a nurse, and she went on to say, "Two pieces of trash!"
I was the one sent to help them solve the problem but she went right at me.
I frowned and said coldly, "No matter how nasty her words were, you were the one who hit her first, right?"
The latter part of my words was directed to Jeanie.
Jeanie snorted and nodded, as I was about to say something, a cold voice came from the side: "Leave this."
Such a familiar and indifferent voice could only be him.
After three days, there was a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows, and his eyes became colder as if he was in trouble.
When Jeanie saw Benjamin, she immediately aggrieved and said, "Ben, she hit me!"
"Be...Ben?" Victoria's face turned lived, but her voice was still gentle, "She bumped into me and called me a s*ut!"
"For the sake of me, forget about it." Benjamin said in a low voice: "You don't want to embarrass me, do you?"
Benjamin sounded quite justified.
Jeanie rolled her eyes at Victoria and said, "Okay! But only because you said so!"
"Jeanie, it's your turn." Jeanie's face turned pale and turned to look at the nurse who called her, and then hurriedly left.
I glanced at where the nurse was standing, the operating room.
"What's your problem?"
The nurse rolled her eyes when she saw Jeanie leaving.
Jeanie left, and the whole scene just ended.
"Ben, how could you just let her go?" Victoria bit her lip and said with a pale face: "She knocked me to the ground and started scolding me when she got up. You can't even imagine what nasty words she said to me!"
"She is just a child." Benjamin said coldly, then said: "This is over, V."
Victoria was silent, and then left.
I was about to leave with Bob. Benjamin reached out and grabbed my wrist and said, "Wait for me to go home."
I silently drew my wrist from his hand.
After leaving the hospital, Bob finally couldn't help asking: "What is the relationship between that man and you just now?"
"It was my husband."
But just in name.
Bob was shocked and asked: "Does my uncle know?"
"Yes."
Because he knew it, I felt ashamed.
He knew that I was married but was still good to me in all aspects!
After returning to the police station, my heart was in a mess. I hadn't got the first clue about how to get my memory back and now there was Victoria.
I met Zack after work, and he said to me: "Em, tomorrow you and I will go on a trip to City B, and drop by to see Bently."
It happened so suddenly, I asked: "We're leaving tomorrow?"
Zack explained: "It will be the Lunar New Year in a few days, and Bently will return to New Zealand the day after tomorrow to visit his family."
I took it and said thank you, Zack hooked his lips: "You don't have to thank me, these are all things that I should do for you."
I knew deep in my heart there was nothing he "should" do for me. He owed me nothing.
Zack was an independent individual. I had no reason to enjoy his goodness unscrupulously! It was ten o'clock when we arrived in City B. When Zack took me to a private hospital to see Bently, his assistant said that he was not there.
Zack was stunned, and then went to the side to make a call.
Two minutes later, Zack came to me and said, "Bently has a private matter at home, let us come back at night."
So we were staying in City B for the night.
When leaving the hospital, Zack said, "Bently is a famous professor in the industry. He will definitely help you."
"Ok."
I looked up at the sky in City B and asked Zack: "You used to work here, why did you go there?"
I meant my city.
"Because Benjamin was poking around about you." Zack bowed his head and thought for a while and said, "I wanted to get to you before he did."
But it was Benjamin who got to me first, and he saw my embarrassment, grievance, unwillingness and hatred.
"Thank you, Zack."
Zack opened his mouth but I said before he could, "Zack, what is it like when it snows here?" "It is not that cold here, nor is it as snowy as that city, but after it snows, the entire city would be shrouded in silver. Although the snow scenes look roughly the same in every city, but the things covered beneath the snow might not be identical. Em, what you yearn for is actually what other people want to escape from, and maybe what you have for the moment is the best after all."
Zack saw at a glance that I was longing for City B.
No, no, I was not longing for City B, but Benjamin, whose hometown was City B.
My city was only his temporary stay.
I said: "Zack, fate is inevitable."
Edith chose him five years ago. Emma did the same five years later. Compared with Edith, Emma was too embarrassed.
There were too many women around him, too messy.
And his heart was too deep and too heavy.
Sometimes sweet talk became poison.
Making me unable to take his word for anything.
Why was he approaching me now?
Zack stretched out his hand and rubbed my head, and said in a low voice: "I know what you are worried about, but Em, believe me. No matter what the purpose of his presence next to you, he will not harm you."
"How do you know..." Zack saw my thoughts at a glance.
He was actually also a scary man.
Zack placed his palm on my head. He bent his waist slightly, his eyes met mine, and his voice softly explained: "I have worked as an undercover agent and I am the leader of the serious crime squad, whether it is psychology or criminal law, I am better than you are."
