Chapter 485


    At the mention of medical expenses, Benjamin felt a little embarrassed. He was paid


    double the consultation fee he usually charged, after all.


    Since he had epted the money, he felt obliged to go the extra mile.


    Faced with Bane’s cold re, Benjamin could only say, “I’ll give it another try, then.”


    Before going into the room, Benjamin remembered something and asked, “Still, perhaps


    you can tell me what she’s rtively interested in. It might help her open up to me.”


    “Her interests?” Jessie was confused, then spoke as if talking to herself. “I’ve been with


    Miss Selwyn for so long, but I never really saw her being interested in anything. Mr.


    Morison, do you know?”


    She turned toward Bane without any mental preparation and asked in a quiet voice.


    However, Bane responded to her with silence.


    Ethan nced up at Bane, a faintly mocking smile appearing on his lips.


    What else could Victoria be interested in at this point? It would be either leaving this


    ce or anything that had to do with that man.


    Sadly, Bane would never mention any of those two if he had a choice. Just as expected,


    he was silent for a long while before saying to Benjamin, “I’m not sure.”


    Jessie seemed like she was still unaware of anything as she said in surprise, “Huh? Mr.


    Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Morison, you don’t know what Miss Selwyn is interested in either? Could it be that she’s


    never interested in anything?”


    Perhaps because Jessie wasining about him too much, after she finished


    talking, Bane gave her a cold nce.


    Almost instantly, she fell silent. She sensed the coldness for some reason, so she shut


    up and dared not say more.


    Even though Benjamin didn’t know what was up with these people, he could sense that


    there was something wrong in the air between them.


    It was reasonable for the others to not know about the patient’s interests, but how


    could this man not know either?


    Benjamin pursed his lips and thought about it earnestly. He guessed that this might be


    the reason Victoria fell sick.


    However…


    All in all, everything felt off and weird to him. At that thought, he said, “Mr. Morison,


    there’s a question I want to ask, and I want to know the real answer.”


    Bane said, “Go ahead.”


    His tone wasn’t quite friendly.


    Benjamin sensed it, but he had to grit his teeth and ask for the patient’s sake. “What is


    your rtionship with that female patient in the room?”


    “Is this rted to your diagnosis?”


    ”


    Benjamin nodded. “It could be unrted at first, but… you saw how abnormal her


    emotions are.”


    Bane pursed his thin lips, obviously reluctant to answer the question.


    Benjamin knew the answer. He thought that since the handsome man and the pretty


    woman lived together, they must be a couple who were fighting, for they didn’t look like


    siblings either.


    Now that Bane refused to answer, they must not be a couple either.


    If they weren’t a couple, but she kept staying here, could that be the reason behind her


    illness?


    At that thought, Benjamin decided to use this incident as a breakthrough when he


    asked Victoria questionster. “I’ll go in and try again.”


    Before Bane could answer, Benjamin quickly went back into the room.


    When Bane saw that, stormy clouds seemed to loom over his expression. Why did


    Benjamin go in without waiting for my answer? Did Benjamin have an assumption


    about our rtionship?


    When Benjamin entered the room again, he noticed that Victoria was sitting in the


    same position she had assumed earlier. She didn’t even budge.


    Thinking about the clues he discovered just now, Benjamin walked over to the chair in


    front of her and sat down. Then, he quietly examined her.


    After about three minutes, he couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Selwyn, don’t you feel tired


    sitting like this?”


    Her posture was odd, and even though she leaned against the couch, it would be


    extremely ufortable if she remained in that position for a long time.


    Just as expected, his question didn’t intrigue her at all. Victoria simply gave him an


    indifferent nce and remained silent.


    Benjamin could only give a dry chuckle. “I have a topic you might be interested in.


    Would you like to hear it?”


    However, this sentence couldn’t attract her attention, so he decisively continued, “Do


    you want to leave this ce?”


    When he posed the question, he paid extra attention as he observed her, fearing that he


    might miss the slightest change in her expression.


    Just as expected, after he asked the question, a slight ripple appeared on Victoria’s


    face before he looked at him earnestly.


    Her expression immediately told Benjamin that he was right on the money. This is


    probably the reason behind her sickness.


    Benjamin pushed his sses, finally rxing. “Miss Selwyn, if you want to leave this


    ce, I may be able to help you.”


    Finally, Victoria regarded him in earnest. “Help me? How?” She spoke her first words


    ever since he came into this room.


    Her voice was light and soft but also weak. She even panted as she spoke. Her illness


    must have affected her physical health as well.


    Benjamin felt heartache and helplessness every time he encountered patients like this.


    “How do you wish for me to help you?”


    He had to gain this patient’s trust as soon as possible.


    Victoria looked quietly at him. In what way would she wish for him to help her?


    There was confusion in her eyes. “I don’t know.”


    “You don’t know?” Benjamin seemed to have grasped another breakthrough. “Why?


    Don’t you have any ideas in your heart?”


    “I do.” Victoria nodded gravely.


    “What is it?”


    At that question, Victoria, who was finally willing to speak a few words to him, began to


    fall silent again.


    Benjamin didn’t urge her. Instead, he waited patiently for her.


    Seeing that she hadn’t spoken up after a long while, he said, “Perhaps you can try telling


    1. me. If it’s not possible, we can think of another way.”


    Victoria shook her head. She was still rejecting him.


    “It’s okay, you won’t be able to help me. Just leave.”


    At the mention of her innermost thoughts, Victoria began to resistmunication.


    Before this, she was just sitting there, unmoving. But now, after rejecting him, she got


    up andy on the bed.


    When Benjamin saw her like that, he knew he shouldn’t bother her any further, so he


    had no choice but to go out.


    The three were still keeping watch at the door. When they saw himing out, they


    quickly gathered around him, just like before.


    “How did it go?”


    Benjamin shook his head. “She has an extremely heavy burden on her heart, and she’s


    not willing to reveal it to me.”


    He paused, then looked at Bane.


    “However, I have to say something. Mr. Morison, the root cause has to be addressed. I


    can see that even though Miss Selwyn refuses tomunicate with me, her train of


    thought is normal and orderly when shemunicates. Perhaps it’s time you have a


    proper talk with her.”


    With that, Benjamin took out his name card and passed it to Jessie.


    “Miss Selwyn will probably refuse to see me for the rest of the day. If you still want me


    to have a look at her, I cane over at the same time tomorrow. However, every


    patient has their circumstances. I can do my best, but I cannot guarantee that it’ll


    work.”


    When Benjamin said those words, he was looking straight at Bane.
