Chapter 758

Auteur: Bodhi Blossom
As the clock ticked by, Cheryl lay on the soft bed in the guest room, fighting against the drowsiness pulling at her. But the heavy exhaustion eventually won and dragged her under.

Sometime later, the bedroom door creaked open to reveal a crack. A tall figure stepped inside, silhouetted by the faint hallway light.

Benjamin held a thermometer in one hand. His steps were featherlight to avoid waking her.

He approached the bed and looked down at the sleeping Cheryl via the moonlight spilling through the window. Her brows were faintly furrowed, her cheeks flushed, and her breath was shallow and restless, as if she were trapped in a nightmare.

Benjamin softened his breathing and carefully reached out, intending to lift her arm and take her temperature. But the moment his fingertips brushed against her wrist, her eyes flew open.

In the darkness, all she could see was a vague, dark shadow looming over her with a hand on her wrist. Panic instantly seized her.

    Nadine paced back and forth in her room, clutching her phone. Her fingertip hovered over the call button for a long time before she reluctantly tapped on Cheryl's number.Once the call was picked up, she immediately feigned a weak, breathy whine and dragged out every word she spoke. "Cheryl… I suddenly felt this tightness in my chest and nearly fainted… Could you come home for a bit?"On the other end, Cheryl froze. She hadn't been home for two days, and Nadine hadn't called her once. Now, the one time she did call was because she needed something.A faint, mocking smile touched Cheryl's lips. "I'm in the middle of an important project. If you're not feeling well, have Lucille send you to the hospital."Nadine's frown deepened at Cheryl's refusal. Already guilty about lying, her voice now carried traces of panic, though she pushed through the act anyway. "Hospital? I know my body and just need a little rest at home, but I need someone around. In case I do pass out, I need someone

    Just as expected, Benjamin's expression shifted at the mention of Cheryl's name. He gripped the phone tightly and listened as Jessica continued, "We talked quite a bit about you earlier. If you want to know what she said, show up at my welcome-back party the day after tomorrow."Benjamin's expression returned to its usual composure, though his brows tightened. "Text me the time and address."Jessica was furious after he'd turned her down for the first time, but his agreeing somehow seemed to fuel her anger further. She nearly erupted in rage.She'd long noticed that Benjamin had different feelings for Cheryl, in a way he'd never shown to any other woman. He could easily replace his girlfriends, but Cheryl was one exception.Other women could come and go, but Cheryl could never be replaced. And now, Jessica was convinced that Benjamin was in love without knowing it yet."Sure." Jessica sneered.After hanging up, Benjamin stopped thinking about pestering Cheryl altogether. He thoug

    Jessica fumed, her eyes wide with anger. She'd wanted to humiliate Cheryl, not create a romantic rival for herself.Knowing when to quit, she said, "Whatever. I'm done wasting my breath on you."With a dramatic sway of her hips, she turned and strutted away on her heels.Cheryl tugged lightly on Natalie. "Come on, Natalie. Let's go."Since this was Cheryl's personal matter, Natalie knew better than to comment further. She nodded and followed Cheryl out of the restaurant.Once they stepped outside, Natalie casually remarked, "So her name's Jessica Trent. Honestly, I don't get Benjamin's taste sometimes. He'll take anything, like a dog that might even eat trash."Cheryl took a deep breath. The coldness in her expression melted into a small laugh prompted by Natalie's crude analogy. "Mr. Zimmerman is a born flirt. It's in his bones."She looked up at the sky, where the sun was shining just right. "Alright, I've got to get back to work. And thank you so much for the exhibition ticke

    Both Natalie and Cheryl turned toward the voice, only to see a woman in a tight bodycon dress approaching on high heels. Her makeup was flawless, but the stare she fixed on Cheryl was unfriendly.With just a glance, Natalie recognized her as one of Benjamin's ex-girlfriends, who lasted the longest aside from Jasmine. Back then, Natalie and Bella had even joked that Benjamin might marry her someday.Natalie had never thought they'd run into her here.Cheryl's fingers tightened around her coat, though her expression barely shifted. She evenly said, "I didn't expect to be so unlucky either."The woman was none other than Jessica. She stepped closer, crossing her arms over her chest and tilting her chin up slightly. Her tone grew even more aggressive."What's that supposed to mean? Have I somehow offended you?"Jessica had always had a haughty attitude. She was just a moderately popular model, not particularly outstanding among Benjamin's many women, yet she carried herself with imme

    Cheryl's hands paused in midair. Her eyes fell on the plate of honey-glazed ribs she'd barely touched. It was something she'd always ordered whenever she ate with Benjamin. She picked up a piece, and instead of eating it, her fingers traced the rim of the plate. Her voice was low and bland as she said, "I'm tired, Natalie."When she looked up and met Natalie's searching gaze, she gave a small, almost relieved smile. "I spent years running after him. No matter who was standing beside him, I always had the strength and courage to stay and expect nothing in return."But things are different now. I'm exhausted, and I've lost that reckless fearlessness. All I want is to live an ordinary, simple life."Natalie sighed. She could understand Cheryl's feelings.That sense of disappointment was similar to what she'd once felt about Jason. Perhaps the only difference was that Cheryl held no hatred for Benjamin, and he'd never lied to her.Yet, Benjamin was Natalie's childhood friend, so she

    With that, Cheryl didn't spare Lucille a glance and headed straight for the main gate.She felt much better mentally today. After wrapping up her daily tasks, she called Natalie. "Ms. Sutton, I've had Finance transfer the second installment of the patent commission fee to you. You can have your team check the account."Attenborough Group and RN Group had a long-standing patent partnership originally initiated by Cheryl herself. Natalie just happened to be near the Attenborough Group building. "Alright. I'll have them look at it when I get back."Oh, and are you free for lunch? I'm nearby, so would you like to grab something together?"Even without Benjamin around, Cheryl and Natalie were fairly great friends themselves, so Cheryl didn't refuse. "Sure. Lunch is on me."She booked a nearby restaurant. Shortly after she arrived, Natalie pulled up at the door of the restaurant.Cheryl waved her over. Once she was seated, Cheryl immediately handed her the menu. "Order whatever you l
