I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Suicide

"Of course." Benjamin soothed her gently. "If you don't want to recall it, just ignore it. Just relax and don't think about it so much. I'll always be there. Okay?" Harper nodded slightly, but she was in an emotional slump the whole time.

Not knowing how long it had been, Harper suddenly whispered, "Benjamin, do you hear a baby crying?"

Benjamin frowned tightly, and his expression was incredibly awful. Looking deeply at Harper, who was murmuring in his arms, he asked gently, "What are you talking about?" "Can't you hear it? A baby is crying."Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Harper, you were just dreaming. You're awake now. Look at me and tell me who I am."

Benjamin held her face to meet his eyes. But her eyes were evasive, and her face was pale and haggard.

Benjamin realized quite clearly at this moment that his doubts were perhaps more serious than he had thought.

He stayed with Harper for a long time. It wasn't until Angie came over to make lunch that he made time to tell Harper, "I'm going to go over and check on Eleanor. Otherwise, we haven't been over there all morning, and Eleanor's going to worry. Okay?" "Okay."

Harper nodded gently.

Benjamin went to see Eleanor and also talked to Eleanor about what she needed to do before going into the hospital for tests. Afterward, he asked Eleanor, "Has anyone come to look for Harper in the past two days?" "No. Why do you ask?"

"Well, she doesn't seem to be well rested and not very refreshed."

"Maybe she's bored of being alone in the house. Keep her company more often. She needs your understanding and companionship the most at this time, Benjamin." "That's all I'm supposed to do."

Eleanor adored Benjamin, and Benjamin could make Eleanor both satisfied and happy with just a few words.

Harper had been sitting on the couch in the living room after Benjamin had gone to see Eleanor. Although the TV was on, she wasn't even watching it. Her mind was blank.

After making lunch and coming out

to see Harper in this state, Angie couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Mitchell, did you not sleep well? You don't look well, not much energy

Harper nodded. "I've been having dreams for the past two days. I might have a bit of insomnia."

Angie hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it to Harper. "Ms. Mitchell, you have to take care of your health now that you're pregnant."

"Well, I will." Harper took the water and took a sip, then saw Angie looking at her hesitantly.

Harper asked, "What's wrong, Angie?"

Angie hesitated for a long time

before saying, "Ms. Mitchell, I... I've

been coming to cook for you for some days now. In fact, I've gotten used to it in every way, but I've

decided to quit."

"Quit? Why are you so sudden? Didn't you say you were used to it? Was the salary too low for you?"

Harper froze in utter shock.

Angie hurriedly responded, "No, it's certainly not the salary. It's just..."

"What?"

"Ms. Mitchell, how long have you been moving here?"

Harper didn't understand why Angie suddenly asked but told the approximate time truthfully.

Angie said, "Ms. Mitchell, I don't

know if it's true or not. I just heard

someone talking in the elevator these two days. They mentioned that a young girl committed suicide in the bedroom of the apartment where you live. She was pregnant and it was almost seven months. But because her parents didn't agree, she committed suicide by burning charcoal..."

Harper's heart skipped a beat along with Angie's words.
