Ben?"Caroline leaned closer to Ben. She grasped her lover's hand tightly. Ben's eyelids slowly began to move, then opened slightly. His vision was blurry, but as soon as he saw Caroline's crying figure beside him, he tried to smile even though his lips were dry and pale. Caroline's tears flowed again, but this time it wasn't out of sadness, but joy."Ben, you finally realized." Caroline's grip on his hand tightened."Mr. Charles, you're finally awake." Flo smiled and felt happiness.Ben blinked but was still weak. He could feel Caroline's tight grip, filled with worry and love. With what strength he had left, he tried to move his fingers, returning Caroline's hand."Are you crying because of me?" asked a weakly spoken Ben with a faint smile."I was afraid of losing you." Caroline sobbed then lowered her head and nodded towards Ben.Ben looked at her gently and saw that there was a bandage wrapped around Caroline's head. Although the pain still ruled his body, he wanted to wipe Caroli

"I didn't expect a man as great as you to be lying helpless like this," Sophia said with a faint grin.Ben tried to calm Caroline down by slightly pressing his fingers in the grip, then looked at Sophia with a cold gaze. Sophia burned with jealousy when Ben treated Caroline intimately."Ben, we're not done yet!""We're done!" Ben raised his voice in front of Sophia.This made Caroline even more worried about Ben's health. She looked at Sophia and was about to kick her out for interfering with Ben's recovery."I don't know you and have never met you before. I want you out of this room immediately, because Ben needs rest. And your coming here is only disturbing his peace." Caroline ventured to speak in Sophia's presence."A hag like you wants to kick me out?" Sophia laughed loudly and belittled Caroline."You have no right to speak to Miss Caroline like that." Flo, who had been silent, finally spoke up because she knew Sophia."I won't let anyone belittle Caroline in front of me," Ben s

Johan sat in his room with a glass of bourbon in hand. His mind was filled with strategy, but also a little uneasy. Sophia was cunning, but she wasn't someone who could be trusted. He knew full well that she always played to her interests.However, this plan made sense. If Caroline believed that Ben had betrayed her, she would be devastated. The trauma of her past would drag her back into the darkness and by then, Johan would be there, looking like the only option she could rely on. And Johan would also apologize to Caroline, inviting her to rebuild the household.He sighed and put down his glass. Shortly after, his cell phone vibrated. A message came in from Sophia and he read it slowly.[The gala event is tomorrow night at the Grand Royale. Ben will probably come along with Caroline. We'll see how everything falls apart.]Johan grinned slightly. So this was the event she was referring to. A big charity gala, where top businessmen gather. It was no surprise that Ben would attend, as

Jolina walked gracefully, mingling among the guests with her tray in hand. Dressed in a black and white waitress uniform, she looked like the original staff of the event. On the tray, two glasses of champagne glittered in the light of a crystal chandelier. One of them had been laced with sleeping pills as per Sophia's orders.Jolina's eyes fell on Ben who was chatting with a business associate, while Caroline stayed by his side, gently holding his arm. Jolina approached and flashed a professional smile as she stopped in front of them and handed them the champagne.Ben and Caroline were not the least bit suspicious. Jolina looked like a normal waitress, her professional smile showing no signs of ulterior motives. Caroline stared at the champagne in her hand for a moment before lifting it slowly. Ben did the same.Jolina remained standing near them, ostensibly waiting to make sure her task was successful. Within seconds, if Ben took a sip of the champagne, the sleeping pills would kick

"I don't know what happened. But if I get here ...." Jolina bit her lip, pretending to be worried. "Could something have happened between us?"Jolina held her head, pretending to be dizzy in their presence. Caroline couldn't think straight. Couldn't digest whether this was just a misunderstanding or a harsh reality she had to accept. All she knew was the pain that shook her entire body, drowning her in a wave of suffocating emotions. Her hands gripped the sides of the door, trying to keep her balance as her body began to tremble. Jolina still wore a confused and frightened expression, but Caroline could no longer care less. Her gaze was locked on Ben, the man who had always made her feel safe, who had always been patient and gentle with her. And now, there he was, unconscious, with another woman in his arms.Her eyes began to burn, tears welling up in her eyes, but Caroline tried to hold them back. She didn't want to look weak in front of everyone. However, the more she tried to hold
