Chapter 87 Can You Spend More Time With Her?


    After the K Group and the Crawford Groupunched CCU Project in the press conference, Ben


    received a call immediately.


    It was from Hanna.


    From her shaky voice, he could tell that she was really in a panic.


    “Ben, I know it’s not a good time to call you, but… I really don’t know whom else I can turn to now. I’m


    sorry!”


    She kept apologizing on the phone. She was pretty desperate now.


    As Simon proposed, there would be a celebration party tonight, and of course, Ben would attend the


    party as the head of the Crawford Group.


    And now he was waiting for the party and in a good mood, so he just said calmly, “What’s going on?”


    “It is about mypany. I don’t know what exactly is going on. The men from the court and the police


    station are going to arrest the vice president of mypany all of a sudden, but Robert has


    disappeared!”


    She was agitated and couldn’t exin the whole thing clearly.


    Ben felt the situation was likely to go badly.


    “I will ask Nate to fish for information and update youter,” Ben said hurriedly.


    Once he hung up the phone, he ordered Nate to gather information about the Lewis''s.


    Thanks to Nate’s expertise and the informationwork of the Crawford Group, he figured it out very


    soon.


    ording to the information, the Vice President Robert Lynn in the Lewis''s misappropriated all the


    circting funds in the ount of thepany and ran away after selling all his estates.


    He fled to a country that didn’t have an extradition treaty and now enjoying an easy life.


    But life didn’t go easy on Hanna. To help udia keep her old house, she had spent all the funds of the


    Lewis''s in bidding for her house in the auction, which annoyed all their shareholders. She had put in a


    lot of effort to calm them down but still had incurred huge debts.


    The misappropriation was not the only bad news for her. Robert also framed her with all his crimes like


    illegal fundraising and fraud. If she was convicted, she would have to spend a long time in jail.


    Her life almost got ruined only in a few days.


    Hearing Nate’s report, Ben couldn''t stay calm anymore. He called Hanna back and hung up after


    speaking only several words to her, but that made Hanna feel relieved immediately.


    He said, “Wait for me. I will be back soon.”


    Besides, he alsomanded Nate to assign the task of defending Hanna to thewyers of the


    Crawford Group.


    Before he left, he had got everything arranged appropriately.


    Prudent and resolute.


    That was what he was.


    When he was talking to Simon after the press conference, Christine noticed that he looked a little bit


    worried. So she sneaked up on him and heard the conversation between him and Nate, knowing


    everything about what happened to Hanna.


    So she walked fast and stopped Ben without letting Simon know.


    “What makes Mr. Crawford so worried? Is there something wrong with a fairdy you know in your


    country?”


    Her words and sardonic attitude ignited his anger.


    However, he was taught not to reveal his feelings easily. So he was just looked at her grimly and said,


    “The Crawford Group and the K Group do have conducted cooperation in the project, but it doesn’t


    mean that I have to report to the K Group about everything I do, right?”


    “Of course not! But I do really care about Mrs. Crawford, so I want to ask you a question if you don’t


    mind. What will happen to her, who is seriously ill, if you just go back to your country right now and


    leave her behind?” she asked him directly.


    He suddenly looked gloomy and unpleasant after she mentioned udia.


    After a few seconds of silence, Christine stopped waiting for his reply and said, “I guess Mr. Crawford


    has never put Mrs. Crawford into consideration, right?”


    She had already read his mind.


    To know one’s thoughts and secrets by observing his subtle expression was Christine’s trick.


    Meanwhile, Christine didn’t intend to be euphemistic at all, “I also notice that it’s quitemon to have


    a spousal rtionship like Mr. and Mrs. Crawford in this circle. So maybe we can talk about it frankly.”


    Ben stared at her with colder eyes, “What do you want to say?”


    “Nothing. I just want to show you a video.”


    Then, she took out her phone, opened a video file, and handed it to Ben.


    She got a backup for the video udia asked her to delete.


    Showing this video would do no good to her. Maybe Ben would be annoyed by her and then suspend


    the cooperation. Christine knew it clearly.


    She was touching his sore point after all.


    But now, the only thing she wanted to do was to speak up for udia.


    As a woman, she didn’t want to see a dumb woman receiving no love and respect from a man she had


    been protecting and loving.


    “She is your wife and the mother of your child! Maybe the Crawford Group was so influential that she


    can be taken care of pretty well here, but when you decide to leave her for a while, don’t you think it’s


    necessary to at least talk with her about that, Mr. Crawford?”


    That was the most basic respect for your wife!


    Ben remained silent. He just looking at the screen with his cold eyes, watching this dumb woman


    walking in the darkness and rain and protecting the medicines in her arms.


    That was why she was seriously ill.


    That was why she was badly injured.


    That was why she got all the scratches on her legs and feet.


    It turned out that the attacker only hurt him.


    What a dumb woman.


    Christine sent the video to his phone and said, “It was me who hired the assant to attack you. I’m


    sorry about that and would like to take all the responsibilities. The K Group has nothing to do with it, so


    please leave it alone.”


    Then, she turned away and left.


    What an unconventionaldy. Even Ben was surprised about it.

    After a while, he finally caught on to what she said and went downstairs. He got in the car and asked


    Nate to drive him to the airport.


    But on the halfway, he suddenly changed his destination.


    “To the hospital.”


    Nate was surprised, but he didn’t ask for the reason and changed his route.


    When he arrived at the hospital, udia was still in a faint.


    Her infirm body had been already racked by a high fever.


    Once the attending doctor Mike saw him, he brought him to the office immediately and said, “Mr.


    Crawford, your wife has a special constitution. It seems like she has been poisoned many years ago


    and absorbed many toxic substances, leading to slight failure in multiple organs…”


    She had little difference from the others when everything was all right, but when she was sick or


    injured, things would be different.


    That was why Ben was fully recovered after a few days, but she was still in aa.


    And that was why when other people caught a bad cold, they could be cured in a week, but udia


    was still had a high fever after so many days.


    “Mr. Crawford, your wife needs not only medical treatments but also the emotional one. Maybe you


    should spend more time with her.”


    Once Mike finished his words, Ben’s phone rang.


    He nced at the screen and stood up, “If her illness can be cured just by my help, why do I bring her


    to the hospital?”


    He said it indifferently and walked away.


    “…”


    Mike lowered his head awkwardly. He tried to say something and raised his head, but Ben had already


    gone.
