Chapter 181 Once a Cheater Always a Cheater
The experts were helpless.
In the end, it was Madelyn who woke up on her own.
It was a beautiful spring night...
After Benjamin finished discussing with the experts, he heard Madelyn's voice as he arrived at the door
of the ward. It sounded weak, but undeniably hers.
Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
He had never felt such an urgent desire to see someone before.
He took a few quick steps forward and gently pushed open the door.
Madelyn was leaning against the headboard, talking to Camila. She looked thinner, and her coffee-
colored hair cascaded over her slender shoulders, evoking a sense of pity... When she saw Benjamin,
the smile on her face faded.
The atmosphere turned subtle...
Camila stood up uneasily. "You two talk. I'll be back in a moment."
But Madelyn tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Mom, I want to eat soup."
Camila lovingly replied, "I'll go buy some for you! Wait for me." NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Camila left...
Benjamin slowly walked into the ward and stood beside Madelyn. They were so close, yet he didn't
dare touch her.
Longing for home, that was what he felt.
Madelyn remained calm and polite. "I heard you helped me find experts. Thank you, Mr. Clark."
"It's my pleasure."
He greedily stared at her, his voice hoarse and unrecognizable.
Madelyn looked back at him.
Then, she spoke slowly, "But there's really no need for us to be like this anymore! You don't have to
take Vivian's words to heart. It's all in the past. Since the moment we broke up, none of those things
have anything to do with you anymore!"
Benjamin was a lawyer, a top-notch one.
In the courtroom, he always had a quick response, but at this moment, he didn't know how to respond.
He broke up with Madelyn, thinking it was a dignified exit, but behind that facade was a lifetime of pain
for her!
Benjamin walked out of the ward.
He didn't leave the hospital, instead, he sat in his golden Bentley and smoked in silence.
...
Their relationship started from the attraction between two adults. Without the youthful excitement, he
had always kept this emotion under control. He liked Madelyn, but he believed it wasn't deep love. At
least, when they broke up, he casually wrote her a check.
But it was only after Madelyn took the check and walked out of his world that he realized what he
couldn't bear the most: the day when Madelyn belonged to someone else.
Just like she loved him, she could fall in love with someone else!
Benjamin leaned back in his seat, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he muttered to himself...
He used to say that Madelyn couldn't handle games, but now he was the one who couldn't handle
games!
Benjamin sat in the car all night.
When the sky began to brighten, he extinguished the cigarette, stepped out of the car, and headed
upstairs to the ward.
Madelyn was already awake, sitting and taking her temperature. She wore loose-fitting hospital clothes,
holding a thermometer in her mouth, looking particularly pitiful, like an injured little creature.
When she saw him coming, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Benjamin walked over, gently removed the thermometer, and read the temperature - thirty-six degrees.
Madelyn looked up at him.
Benjamin's voice was hoarse. "Come with me!"
Without waiting for her to resist, he picked her up horizontally and walked out of the ward.
Madelyn was stunned.
When she regained her senses, she pounded his shoulder. "Benjamin, what are you doing?"
Her blows meant nothing to him, Benjamin thought...
The nurse came to collect the thermometer and was also surprised when she saw them. "Mr. Clark,
where are you taking the patient?"
Turning a deaf ear, Benjamin quickly carried Madelyn to the car downstairs, fastened her seatbelt, and
locked the car door.
Even Madelyn, who was usually calm, couldn't hold back anymore.
"Benjamin, are you crazy?"
As he fastened her seatbelt, Benjamin focused on the road ahead, his voice gentle. "I'll bring you back
later!"
Madelyn stopped struggling...
She just said softly, "It's useless, Benjamin. Your actions won't change anything! I'd rather you have the
audacity to write that check like you did before than entangle me like this."
She wanted the check to make a clean break!
It was supposed to be consensual, a good ending!
Wasn't that what he wanted?
Madelyn didn't want to say anything more. She turned her head away, looking out of the window...
After sitting in the car for a while, Benjamin drove off. Madelyn recognized that they were on the way to
his flat. Indeed, half an hour later, he parked the car downstairs.
He forcibly carried her into the flat.
At the moment the door opened, Madelyn froze, even if she had mentally prepared herself...
The Morning Dew.
Baroque curtains, a lake-blue vase,
Couples' slippers...
Everything here was exactly the same as when she lived here before. He even restored the black
theme for Valentine's Day.
It was all traces of her love for him!
...
Madelyn felt a pang in her heart!
What was this? Did he think these actions would move her?
Benjamin embraced her from behind, kissing her tender earlobe. He spoke with extreme emotion, his
voice husky. "Madelyn, let's start over! Let's live like we used to. This time, I'll treat you well. I'll find the
best doctor to heal your foot and ensure that you have no regrets!"
Madelyn always thought that she had shed all her tears that night.
But now, seeing all this, she still feels like crying. Only... not because she's moved, but because she's
sad, because she's heartbroken. All these things remind her of what kind of emotions she had back
then, how she loved the man, how she waited for him every night, and how she longed for their future
together.
But every time he chose Eleanor!
Regret...
How can that word define what she lost that night?
She lost loved ones, dreams, and trust in her lover!
On that darkest night, she was utterly disappointed with him!
Benjamin's gaze was affectionate. He knelt in front of her, holding a sparkling, perfect diamond ring,
even more dazzling and flawless than before.
Madelyn's whole body stiffened.
In that moment, she lost all her strength.
Benjamin kissed her fingers, his voice hoarse: "Madelyn, I spent a week persuading that Zistin antique
dealer to sell Morning Dew to me! If your foot doesn't recover, we'll play it at home! I'll play it for you!
Madelyn... I beg you to let me take care of you for the rest of our lives!"
"Every year, I'll be with you on Valentine's Day."
"Christmas Day, birthdays, and New Year's Day... we'll celebrate them together!"
"You love children, and we'll have multiple children!"
...
He wanted to be with her. He wanted to settle down!
He had never desired marriage like this before!
Benjamin held her fingertips and gently slipped the ring onto her ring finger... The ring fit perfectly on
her finger.
But... Madelyn curled her fingertip back.
She wouldn't let him put the ring on her finger!
Benjamin froze, slowly raising his head...
Madelyn said calmly, "I'm touched, really! A man who does so much for me must have genuine
intentions. But Benjamin... Once a cheater, always a cheater! Especially considering your history of
infidelity! Benjamin, it's not possible between us anymore, not because of whether you love me or not,
but... because I'm not willing to love you anymore."
...
Benjamin slowly stood up.
He looked down at Madelyn...
In the morning light, there was a fine layer of fuzz on her cheeks, which made her look adorable. But
her expression was resolute: "Take me back to the hospital. I don't want anyone to know this!"
Benjamin reached out and gently stroked her delicate cheek.
Suddenly, he grabbed the back of her head and forcefully kissed her lips, slipping inside before she
could react...
He wanted to kiss her.
He wanted to awaken all her memories of his body!
He didn't believe... He didn't believe that Madelyn would forget all that!
A slap landed on his handsome face...
Madelyn's eyes were red, gasping for breath. "Benjamin, don't make me lose respect for you! We're
impossible now and in the future... impossible, don't you understand?"
