Her tears fell like a flood. Bethan grabbed Gwen’s wrist. “Gwennie…”
Bethan cried until even the doctor next to her was a little moved, “It’s only superficial injuries. She’ll be well within a month. Don’t be so sad.”
In the end, the doctor helped Bethan up from the side of the bed. “We have to send the patient back to the ward.”
Bethan bit her lips. She was about to say something when the elevator in the distance opened.
A travel-worn Ben came out from the elevator.
“Ben! “
Andy’s eyes sparkled immediately.
“I knew you wouldn’t abandon Gwennie! “
Upon hearing her father calling after Ben, Gwen pushed her body up feebly, wanting to sit up. “Ben…”
Ben furrowed his brows and slowly walked over to the pale Gwen. “Are you alright?”
Gwen looked at him. Her eyes were filled with hope and tenderness. “I’m fine. Ben, thank you for coining. I knew that you would… “
“If you’re alright , “
Ben coldly interrupted her. He took out the divorce papers from his pocket and placed them in front of Gwen.
“Sign them.”
Looking at the divorce papers, Gwen was instantly stunned.
Bethan could not help it but she was infuriated. “Ben, what do you mean by this? Gwen had just gone through such an unfortunate incident. Now is the time where she needs you the most. What are you doing?”
Ben’s eyes were flat. “Isn’t it obvious enough?”
He swept Bethan a cold glance, then he looked at Gwen. “I’m a traditional man. When she was rescued by others, other men had already slept with her. Don’t tell me that you don’t know this? Also, there was more than one man! “
Ben gritted his teeth. “Thankfully I have never brought Gwen back to see my parents. If not, I will never be able to live with my head held up high! “
Then, he glared at Gwen coldly. “Sign them! “
Bethan was so furious her breathing rhythm was in a mess.
She clenched her fists tightly. “Ben Zeller, how can you be so heartless! “
“I ‘m heartless?”
Ben sneered. He swept Bethan a cold glance. “You should ask this yourself ! If Gwen had never become friends with you, if she never helped you, no one would seek revenge against her. Would she have to go through such an incident? If she did not go through this, would I need to divorce her? We were planning to have a child next year! Bethan, you’re the one who destroyed Gwen. You destroyed me and our future happy family! “
His words were harsh and cold. Every word was as sharp as a knife, stabbing Bethan’s heart violently.
Bethan bit her lips but said nothing.
She had no way of retorting. If it were not for her…
Gwen would never have ended up like this. She had to bear some responsibility for Gwen. She owed it to her.
“This is your excuse to dump your wife?”
Luke, by the side, could no longer take it. He crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Ben coldly. “As a man, you can’t even protect your wife. That’s fine. You even abandoned her the moment she got injured? You call yourself a man?”
Ben furrowed his brows. At that moment only did he notice that besides Andy and Bethan, there was another man in the room.
He recognized that man.
The boss of the Jones Gang. He was the one that captured Liam Clark.
From that day onward, Jones Gang was the greatest gang in Sea City. Luke has also become a famous public figure.
Ben knew that he could not afford to offend Luke.
Thus, he turned and glared at Gwen curtly. “Are you going to sign them or not?”
Gwen’s face was miserably pale.
She timidly picked up the pen. “I…” “I’ll sign them.”
Bethan was stunned. She immediately turned around and grabbed Gwen’s arm. “Gwen, you…”
Gwen looked at Bethan with a pale face and smiled. “
Since he has already decided, it’s pointless for me to continue pestering him. I would rather we split up amicably.”
Then, she took the pen and seriously signed her name on the divorce papers.
With her last stroke, Ben immediately snatched the papers away as if he was afraid Gwen would regret her decisions.
“I’m going to go back and pack. The Larsons bought the mansion, so I won’t take any advantage of you. But the car is mine. I’m taking it!”
Then, Ben turned and stormed off.
Seeing how heartless he was, Gwen could not help but close her eyes. Two lines of tears streamed down her face.
Seeing her that way, Bethan was extremely heartbroken.
She did not know what she should say at that moment to make Gwen less sad.
“Tsk, which trash bin did you find that man from? “
Luke crossed his arms around his chest and laughed out loud coldly.
Gwen said nothing. Her eyes remain closed.
Bethan bit her lips. She turned to look at Luke. “She’s sad enough, please stop your sarcasm.”
Luke snickered, “It’s already not worth it being sad over a scumbag, why should she care about other people’s sarcastic remarks?”
Bethan furrowed her brows.
She was grateful for Luke sending men to rescue Gwen, but Luke’s words were…harsh on the ears.
“Bethan.”
After a while, Gwen said while her eyes still remained shut, “Can all of you please leave, I want to be alone.”
Bethan bit her lips. “But…”
“Please leave, “
Gwen chuckled bitterly, “I’m already ashamed and sad enough. Please give me some space to be alone.”
Bethan took a deep breath. She walked over to Gwen and covered her with the blanket. She said in a soft tone, “I’m sorry.”
Then, Bethan turned and left the room.
Behind her, Gwen started crying again because of Bethan’s apology.
Coming out from the patient’s ward, Bethan was dispirited.
After making sure that Gwen was safe, Brettley took Lucas and left. He said that he had something to deal with.
Alice was the only one sitting on the bench by the corridor.
Seeing Bethan coming out, Alice immediately welcomed her with a smile. “Bethan, is Gwen alright? “
Bethan nodded her head depressingly.
“I saw Ben leaving with the divorce papers.”
Alice helped Bethan to the bench. Her eyes were filled with delight, but her voice sounded remorseful. “The two of them are such a match, how could they get a divorce over such a small thing.”
Bethan closed her eyes. “I’m not in a good mood. I don’t want to argue with you. Mrs. Morrison, I know that you want to thrive in schadenfreude, but it’s best you stay away from me.”
Alice laughed out loud, “Why? Gwen’s the one who i s having a divorce, not you. Why are you in a bad mood? I think you should be happy now. If Brettley did not rescue you last night, you might end up like Gwen.”
