Chapter 216 Let's Get Divorced
Madelyn gave birth to a baby girl.
Everest, weighing less than four kilograms, was immediately placed in an incubator after birth.
Alexander and his wife, and Kenneth only glanced briefly at Everes before rushing to see Madelyn.
Madelyn had been moved to a VIP ward, lying there weakly, seemingly asleep.
Kenneth approached her and gently placed her hands under the blanket.
He didn't say a word, just sat by the bedside, staring at Madelyn intently, afraid she would wake up
without anyone caring for her.
...
Outside, Eloise had been on the phone for 16 hours.
She made hundreds of calls, all to Benjamin.
Finally, he answered...
At that moment, Benjamin was in Monatiz. He went straight to court when he got off the plane and
didn't even turn on his phone.
After winning the lawsuit in Dimont, the court immediately announced Benjamin's victory. William and
his wife thanked him and invited him to their home.
Benjamin politely declined.
While the two sides were still pulling and tugging at each other, Benjamin took out his phone and
smiled. "I guess I'm being pestered at home!"
He turned on his phone, expecting to see many missed work calls as usual.
But when he unlocked it, his phone started buzzing like crazy.
He had over 500 missed calls, all from Gredax.
Eloise called again, and he quickly answered, "Eloise, what happened?"
Eloise's voice was choked up with emotion. "Brother, please return as soon as possible!" The villa... it
blew up. Madelyn gave birth to Everest early, and the baby is in critical condition... Madelyn had been
in labor for 16 hours... sobbing... Why did you go to Monatiz? Why did you leave Madelyn alone at
home? Do you know how she looked when she was transported to the hospital... sobbing..."
Benjamin froze.
He almost lost the ability to move.
From wherever they came, the media was eager to interview him at that moment, putting their cameras
in front of him.
Benjamin rudely pushed them away.
He walked out quickly. A car awaited him outside the courthouse to take him to the airport. A bouquet
of white roses was on the back seat, and he wanted to bring them to Madelyn.
It could calm her down.
But deep down, he knew it was over between them.
Benjamin stumbled his way through the journey!
...
It was 20 hours later when Benjamin saw Madelyn.
Madelyn was dressed in a hospital gown and stood at the hospital's neonatal critical care unit entrance,
peering through the glass at the little infant inside.
Just two or three days had passed.
She had become much thinner.
The clothes hung loosely on her, and from the side, her chin looked sharp, her face no larger than a
palm.
She had been in good shape before.
Benjamin's voice was hoarse as he called out to her, "Madelyn!"
Madelyn maintained her posture, motionless, but her body stiffened.
She knew he had come back...
But so what?
She didn't know how to face him. She couldn't even cry.
Benjamin strolled towards her.
He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. "You just gave birth to the baby. Standing for too
long like this will leave a lingering health issue."
She shrugged off the coat.
The black coat fell to the ground...
Benjamin silently picked it up, and then he saw the little baby in the incubator, lying there wrinkled,
barely moving, with a pale complexion.
Madelyn's voice was very soft. "The doctor said the survival rate is less than ten percent!"
It pained Benjamin's heart.
He held Madelyn's shoulders. "I'll..."
Madelyn turned around and slapped him hard, her chest burning with anger. "What will you do? Find a
way to save her? Where were you earlier?!"
He endured the slap.
He would instead Madelyn hit him, scold him...
But after that slap, Madelyn fell silent. She stared blankly at Everest because she could only look at her
for half an hour each day, and the doctors wouldn't allow it the rest of the time.
Everest...
She was even willing to give her life in exchange for Everest's.
Benjamin wrapped his coat around her again, but Madelyn tried to remove it, and he held onto her
tightly.
"Madelyn! Don't move!"
He stared at the baby with the same intensity as she did.
Everest looked beautiful.
Like Madelyn, she had delicate eyebrows and a pretty face.
Madelyn lacked the strength in his arms, but she felt she should make things clear with him. "Benjamin, Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
I only need you when I need you. You're always busy with Eleanor's affairs! Panda blood, divorce
lawsuit... Is it because she can't live without you, or do you want to put a perfect end to your first love?
Our child should not be the price for you to fulfill your promises to her.... You didn't put me first. Why did
you say you wanted to spend your life with me back then?"
She calmly said all this.
But Benjamin felt as if he were being tortured.
There were no hysterics from Madelyn. She couldn't make a scene and didn't want to quarrel with him.
She calmly told him, "This is it, Benjamin!"
"As for the divorce, let's wait until the baby is better before discussing it. I don't have the energy to talk
about those things right now!"
...
Benjamin held her as if he were holding a block of ice.
At that moment, the blinds came down on the glass.
Madelyn couldn't see the baby anymore.
She turned to face him. "Because of Everest, we have to unavoidably meet again. But Benjamin, don't
say those affectionate words to disgust me again!"
Benjamin's face turned pale as paper.
At that moment, Kenneth came over.
He had a jacket in his hand, and as soon as he saw Madelyn, he quickly put it on her. "I've been
looking for you everywhere! What are you wearing? What if you catch a cold?'
Madelyn silently followed him.
Throughout the encounter, Kenneth acted as if he had not seen Benjamin. Benjamin called out
urgently, "Uncle!"
Kenneth paused in his footsteps.
He turned around, a fake smile on his usually elegant face, and delivered a deadly blow with his words,
"I thought you only recognized Mr. Bennett!"
After saying that, he embraced Madelyn and walked away.
Benjamin stood in his original spot, slowly clenching his fingers. If you were to ask him about the
biggest regret of his life, it would be leaving Madelyn and going to Monatiz.
Alexander approached with his wife and daughter.
In front of them, Alexander swung his arms, delivering two harsh slaps to his son.
His eyes were red as he said, "You worthless scum!"
Brianna, teary-eyed, tried to intervene but was pushed aside by Alexander.
In the bustling hospital, disregarding dignity, Alexander took off his shoes and fiercely struck his only
son. "Do you know how dangerous it was for your wife at that time? She tried to call you, but your
phone was off. If she hadn't called Kenneth, we wouldn't have known about the explosion. The
outcome could have been the loss of both mother and child, as well as her mother and the household
maid, who were severely injured. Where were you? You are the man of the house, where the hell were
you? Do you know that Madelyn risked her life to give birth to your child for 16 hours? You worthless
scum... I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Brianna no longer tried to stop him.
Eloise was also crying nearby, her voice choked with tears. "Brother, if you don't love sister-in-law, then
set her free!"
Benjamin froze.
Didn't he love Madelyn?
He loved her, he was sure he did, but he had abandoned her.
And now... she didn't want him anymore!
