Why did Benjamin Chance come to my doorstep so early in the morning? I was a bit taken aback. Hmm... Moreover, he has only been in the hospital for a few days, but he still looks unwell. Can he be discharged already? But why is he still wearing a hospital gown? He didn't even change his clothes before coming? He appears to be limping, standing on one leg and swaying, with sweat all over his forehead. It's a pitiful sight... After being completely confused and surprised, a ridiculous and inappropriate thought crossed my mind. Could it be that Benjamin Chance escaped from the hospital? "You...""Where's Shannon?" We both spoke simultaneously. He came to my building looking for Shannon, thinking that I hid her? I twitched the corner of my mouth, feeling speechless. But I still truthfully answered, "She went out to clear her mind. I don't know where she is now." However, Benjamin Chance seemed completely unconvinced. Because he was so anxious, he probably forgot about his current unfavorable situation and tried to walk over in a hurry, but almost lost his balance and fell. I was shocked and instinctively held my stomach, screaming, "Slow down! Don't move, I'm coming!" With Benjamin Chance in this state, he couldn't afford to fall again. If he suffered a second injury, his arms and legs might really become useless! After hearing my shout, Benjamin Chance indeed stopped moving and stood still, gasping for breath. I walked over and reached out to support his arm. Oh, I'm pregnant! I was afraid that Benjamin Chance would move again, so I quickly called out to him, "Stand still on your own. If you fall, I won't be able to support you!" "Can you walk? If you can, let's go over there. It's not far, just about ten meters away. There are chairs there to sit on." "Sit down, and then we can discuss other matters." Originally, I planned to take him upstairs to my home, but there are a few steps from the outside to the inside. It would be better for him to walk on the flat path outside with a crutch. "If you don't listen to me, I won't help you contact Shannon!"I threatened him, afraid that Benjamin Chance would act stubbornly. Sure enough, his eyes darkened, and he responded to me in a dull voice, "Okay." I breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand, but of course, I didn't forget to remind him, "Take your time and be careful not to fall." There was nothing I could do. I couldn't support him, and I didn't dare to either, especially since I was pregnant. Watching him take small steps, moving like a puppet on strings, I let out a tired sigh. In just a short moment, the sweat had soaked through the back of my clothes. However, despite the distance of only about ten meters, Benjamin Chance took more than twenty minutes to walk. When we finally sat down on the bench, his face was covered in sweat, and he was panting heavily. His face was pale, clearly exhausted.I decided to let him catch his breath first and called Dominic Hartnell. He needed to come back and take Benjamin Chance back to the hospital for further examination. In my mind, I had already made up my mind about Benjamin Chance. He must have sneaked out. After the call, Benjamin Chance regained his strength. He repeated the question again, asking where Shannon was. I thought explaining wouldn't make a difference, so I showed him the WeChat chat history between Shannon and me. The fact was that Shannon had been gone for so many days, and she really hadn't contacted me. I thought since she went out alone to clear her mind, there was no need to bother her with phone calls, so I didn't try to reach out to her. So, I had no idea where Shannon was now, who she had met, or if she had any exciting encounters or romantic experiences. After reading the chat history, Benjamin Chance fell silent and didn't say a word for a long time. Looking at his weak and miserable appearance, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. After thinking for a moment, I softened my tone and said, "You can call Shannon and ask her where she is." "Or, if she refuses to tell you, I can call and ask for you?" "Well... to put your mind at ease, okay?" Benjamin Chance lowered his head and shook it softly, his voice hoarse as he whispered, "Her phone is turned off, I can't reach her at all." Oh, right. Shannon went out alone, so she definitely didn't want to be found, which meant her phone would naturally be turned off. I sighed and looked at Benjamin Chance. He must have been calling Shannon incessantly these past few days, but he couldn't find her. He must have been going crazy with worry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sneaked out of the hospital and come here like this. I was wondering what I should say at this moment, I should comfort him a little. But before I could think of anything, I heard Benjamin Chance muttering anxiously to himself, "She just left without a word... If she had just left, it would have been fine, but there's no news at all. Is she trying to avoid me?" "But she's a girl, out there all alone, with no news at all. Don't you think someone would be worried about her?" "I just want to know if she's safe, if she's encountered any trouble. As long as she's okay, I won't bother her." "But... how could she not even give me a chance like this..." I felt really worried listening to Benjamin Chance's murmurs. I wanted to say something to comfort him, but every time I tried, the words never came out. At this moment, it felt like unless Shannon herself appeared in front of him, anything I said would be in vain. Sigh, what a situation... Feeling powerless, I furrowed my brows and sighed silently. Just when I was at a loss for what to do, the savior finally arrived. Seeing Dominic Hartnell walking quickly from a distance, I couldn't wait and stood up, walking towards him. When he reached me, I immediately hugged Dominic Hartnell's arm and then turned around, pointing to Benjamin Chance sitting over there. "You should take him back to the hospital quickly, get him checked properly, and make sure to comfort him." "Tell him that as soon as I can contact Shannon, I'll let him know immediately, so he shouldn't be fussing around. He wouldn't want Shannon to be with a disabled person in the future, right?" "Let him think about it himself." Dominic Hartnell patted my back gently, nodded, and whispered, "Okay, I know what to do. I'll take you back first." I sighed and shook my head, "No need, it's just a few steps away. You better hurry and take him back to the hospital." Dominic Hartnell disagreed, but he still squeezed my hand and softly uttered, "Please wait for me." In an instant, his gentle expression vanished, and he turned around with a somber countenance, making his way towards Benjamin Chance.
