I couldn't believe it, but the WeChat message was indeed from Dominic Hartnell. He couldn't possibly be joking about something like this, right? Without even bothering to call Dominic Hartnell to confirm, I immediately dialed Shannon's number. After a series of busy tones, someone finally answered the phone. Shannon's voice sounded sleepy on the other end. "Shannon, wake up and go to the hospital!" "Ah..." Just by the drawn-out tone of her voice, I knew she was still half asleep. I had no choice but to raise my voice and shout, "Shannon Harper! Get up and hurry to the hospital!" After three seconds of silence on the phone, Shannon's angry voice burst out. "What the hell! Liliana Zanetti, do you know what time it is? Are you sleepwalking or something? Where's Dominic Hartnell?" I didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "Benjamin Chance is injured and in critical condition at the hospital!" After another three seconds of pin-drop silence, I heard Shannon's laughter. "Hehe, joking with me so early in the morning, that's quite funny." "Liliana Zanetti, we're good friends, don't let Dominic Hartnell influence you. I..." I couldn't bear Shannon's disbelief and her rambling, so I interrupted her. "Not joking! I'm serious. Benjamin Chance got into a fight and got injured last night. He's at the city hospital now!" "Shannon, if you don't want to regret it later, go immediately! If you really dislike him so much that you don't even want to see him for the last time, then go back to sleep."After saying that, I hung up the phone abruptly. No matter how much I said, it would be useless. It was up to her to decide. I quickly got out of bed and changed my clothes as fast as possible. Dominic Hartnell told me not to go to the hospital, but I couldn't help it. Benjamin Chance had helped me so much in the past. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to get divorced so smoothly and even receive a large sum of money. So, I had to go to the hospital. Although it was still early, Chen Ma had already gotten up. I saw her as soon as I walked into the living room. When she heard that I needed a car to go to the hospital, her expression immediately changed, and she was about to go tell Dominic Hartnell's mother. Luckily, I quickly stopped her and explained the situation. After that, Chen Ma's expression eased.Chen Ma wanted to stop me, but I was firm in my decision, so she had no choice but to call a driver for me. I had just gotten in the car and hadn't gone far when Shannon called. There was no time to talk now, so I could only ask her to hurry up and get ready so that I could pick her up later. After driving in a circle, I picked up Shannon and then instructed the driver to turn around and head towards the hospital. Once Shannon got in the car, I noticed that something was off about her. She seemed absent-minded, as if she had lost her spirit. I called her several times, but she didn't respond. Seeing her like this, I had a hunch about what was going on, but... sigh, I was afraid it might be too late for anything. Neither Shannon nor I said a word on the way, remaining silent until we arrived at the city hospital. As soon as the car pulled up to the hospital entrance, before it even came to a complete stop, Shannon couldn't wait any longer and rushed out of the car. Not only was I startled, but even the driver's face turned pale with fright. There was no way I could catch up with her, so I could only wait patiently until the car was stable before getting out. Once inside the hospital, I didn't see Shannon anywhere, so I had to ask at the nurse's station. Fortunately, they knew exactly where she was and told me right away. I hurriedly made my way to the ward. But just as I reached the outside of the ward, before I could even push the door open, I heard Shannon's crying coming from inside. Shannon rarely cried, so could it be that Benjamin Chance really was gone... My heart pounded in my chest, and I stood frozen at the door. "Wife, why did you come? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home?" Suddenly, I heard Dominic Hartnell's voice, and I quickly snapped out of it, turning my body around. "Husband!" Seeing Dominic Hartnell, I instinctively reached out and hugged him, while tears quickly filled my eyes. "Benjamin Chance... he... he..." I stuttered, unable to say the three words "is gone". Dominic Hartnell seemed startled by my crying and quickly comforted me by holding me. But all I could think about now was that Benjamin Chance was gone, and I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. We were just friends after all, and he was so young, not even thirty yet, and now... In addition, Shannon's crying would occasionally be heard from the ward, making me feel even more uncomfortable the more I listened. I was also worried about Shannon's condition and didn't know how to comfort her in the future. This girl Shannon clearly had feelings for him, so why did she have to be so stubborn? Now that he's gone, leaving behind such a big regret, who knows how long she will be grieving. "Wife Shannon Harper cried so sadly, but what are you crying for? Your husband, me, is standing right in front of you." Dominic Hartnell lightly patted my back, his tone teasing and with a hint of amusement. I paused, choking back my tears. "What do you mean? Benjamin Chance is in trouble, aren't you sad? You two are good friends." Dominic Hartnell took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and gently wiped away my tears, then he embraced me and sat down on the bench in the corridor."He is my friend, that's true, but he's fine. Why should I be sad?" "It's you who didn't listen to me. I told you to wait for me at home, why did you come here so early in the morning? What if something happened?" I was a bit dumbfounded, my hazy brain couldn't keep up with the pace. "He's fine? If he's fine, why did you send me a message saying that his life was hanging by a thread and that Shannon should see him for the last time... And didn't you hear? Shannon was crying so sadly inside..." Dominic Hartnell kissed me on the forehead and explained in a low voice, "Maybe she misunderstood. Ziyang is still waiting over there to shoot the film, not in the hospital room." "Then why did you say that in the message? You made me think Benjamin Chance was really in danger!" Now I understood, and at the same time, I was furious. I wholeheartedly believed his words, only to realize that he was just toying with my emotions! As I grew angrier, Dominic Hartnell embraced me, attempting to calm me down. After wiping the tears from my face, I glared at him intensely and forcefully pushed him away. I had no idea what these men were plotting, but I knew that once Shannon discovered the truth, Benjamin Chance would undoubtedly face consequences! Without hesitation, I swiftly rose from my seat and made my way towards the hospital room, with Dominic Hartnell trailing behind me. As I pushed open the door, Shannon rushed towards me, tears streaming down her face, and tightly embraced me.
