Chapter 218 A Brokenhearted Woman Won''t Turn Back
Keh lifted his chin slightly, squinting his eyes.
After a while, he sneered, "You''re just a little girl who hasn''t grown up yet. Don''t meddle in adult affairs!"
After saying that, he left with the entourage of bodyguards, showing extreme coldness.
Eloise was afraid of him.
At that moment, Eleanor screamed, "Dad... your hand..."
William rolled over and sat up.
He raised his hands, which were fractured and almost useless. He would never be able to y the
piano again.
William was in so much pain that he lost consciousness.
He felt it was a punishment from Madeline up in heaven!
Although Eloise disliked them, William saved her when she was young, so she called a doctor for
William but didn''t speak to them.
Trembling, William said, "Eloise, do you also think I''m terribly guilty? I just... thought that Madelyn and
Eleanor are sisters, and Ben is Eleanor''s brother-inw. It''s right for families to help each other."
Eloise wanted to speak but choked up several times.
Finally, she exhaled deeply and asked, "What is considered ''right''?" Eleanor always clings to my
brother, but you continually indulge her and create the potential for misunderstandings! All you do is
show partiality and try to force Eleanor on my brother... Mr. Bet, my parents avoid stating some
things to save face, but I will make it evident to you now. With her tumultuous personal life, Eleanor
would never be epted by my family! You may not be aware of the reason my brother broke up with
her. He discovered her sleeping with a fitness teacher, and there were used condoms all over the
floor... Isn''t that scandalous, Mr. Bet?"
William''s face turned pale.
He looked at his adopted daughter with deep sorrow.
He had always thought she was willful but innocent in other aspects, utterly unaware of her...
promiscuity!
Eleanor gritted her teeth, "You''re talking nonsense!"
Eloise rolled her eyes, "You know damn well whether it''s nonsense or not! Go get yourself checked at
the gynecologist, you might have contracted all sorts of diseases a long time ago! And... don''te
here and disgust us again, or else I''ll call uncle Ryan!"
Eloise let out a sigh of relief.
She felt satisfied, but when she thought about Madelyn and Everest, her eyes welled up with tears...

After everyone left, Benjamin wanted to talk to Madelyn in the hospital room, but she still refused to
She turned her back to him.
Benjamin watched her for a long time before silently leaving.
He went to visit Cam.
Cam''s leg injury was severe, and she still couldn''t leave bed to walk. Otherwise, she would definitely
take care of Madelyn herself. She had heard about the child not being well and shed tears of heartache
every day, her eyes almost swollen from crying.
Benjamin pushed open the door and called out hoarsely, "Mom!"
Cam was adjusting her leg and, upon seeing him, inexplicably burst into tears again. She was in so
much pain that she couldn''t utter a word.
Benjamin handed her a tissue and poured a ss of water.
Cam wiped away her tears,posed herself, and said softly, "Ben, I understand what you mean...
you still want to be married to Madelyn! But marriage isn''t taken lightly. I know you''re capable and
haven''t lost anywsuits. You went to Monatiz with some concerns about Eleanor. But Madelyn is
pregnant now, and you''ve had that kind of rtionship with Eleanor before. You shouldn''t leave her
alone and go to Monatiz !"
Benjamin nodded.
He slowly squatted down, resting his head against Cam''s leg. "It''s my fault! Mom... I don''t want to
separate from Madelyn. I want a chance to make it up to her."
Cam couldn''t help but cry again.
Make it up...
Right now, Everest lies in an incubator. How can he make it up?
This kind of heartache is fatal to a woman. It''s not like having another child will make it better.
No matter how many children you have, they are not Everest.
Cam touched his face and whispered, "Madelyn really likes you. If she didn''t like you that much, she
wouldn''t keep giving you chances! Just think about what happened between Vivian and Grayson. If it
were someone else, would Madelyn trade herself for him? Definitely not! It''s because you''re
Benjamin... You''ve been through so much together, but sadly, you still don''t appreciate it. Maybe it''s
because you have too much and everythinges too easily..."
"But in marriage, once a woman''s heart dies, she won''t turn back!"
...
Benjamin listened in a daze.
He knew deep down that everything Cam said was true.
Because he obtained her too quickly, he didn''t cherish her!
He had a firm grip on Madelyn through the numerous breakups and reconciliations. He thought that
even if she got angry when he went to Monatiz, she would eventually forgive him. She wouldn''t stay
mad for long.
He still treated Madelyn like a little girl.
But he forgot that they were married, and she was his wife.
Cam shook her head gently. "Ben, I can''t help you! If Madelyn feels unhappy with you and wants to
separate, I respect her choice."
Benjamin remained silent.
At that moment, a doctor and a nurse entered the room to check Cam''s leg, and he conversed with

the doctor on the side.
Afterward, he told Cam, "Mom, I''ll go see Madelyn. Rest well."
Leaving the hospital room, he was overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness...
Benjamin stood there for a long time.
He heard the sound of high heels approaching. Paisley came over with documents and told Benjamin,
"I''ve rescheduled everything except for the work in your hands."
Benjamin nodded.
Paisley wanted to see Madelyn and ask about the child, but she decided against it after careful
consideration.
She felt a sense of pity.
Benjamin signed the documents, seemingly calm andposed. But when he closed them, his eyes
stung intensely...
Paisley gently said, "Spend more time with Madelyn. She needs someone by her side right now."
Benjamin smiled faintly.
In fact, Madelyn didn''t need him.
Although she was physically weak, she didn''t need anyone other than epting the nutritional meals
sent by the family. And she only took a few bites of the meals.
Benjamin was also staying at the hospital.
Every day, he could only see Madelyn for half an hour when he visited Everest.
Standing together, they would look at the little baby.
Only then did he feel that they were still a couple. Only then did he think that Madelyn was still his wife.
But Madelyn refused to speak to him.
She was immersed in her own world, ignoring everyone around her.
A week passed, and Madelyn became even thinner.
That day, a doctor approached him and asked him to talk privately in the office.
On the desk was a medical report, Madelyn''s recent physical examination results. The arrows on the
report were rming, making Benjamin''s trembling fingers grip the paper.
The authoritative obstetrician with connections to the rk family said, "Ben, your wife''s health is very
poor. Because of the child, she is extremely anxious and refuses to take nutrition!"
Benjamin''s throat tightened. "I''ll convince her!"
The doctor looked at him briefly before softly saying, "She has postpartum depression!"
Postpartum depression...
Benjamin''s face turned pale.
He knew what that term meant.
The older female doctor patted his shoulder. "I will prescribe antidepressants for her, but the key lies in
resolving the emotional issues... Ben, spend more time with her!"
Benjamin nodded, about to end the conversation when Alexander called. His voice was tense, "Ben,
<pe quickly! The child... something''s not right!"
