I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Introduce Someone to Harper

Harper hesitated, looking down at the floor, her mind subconsciously drifting to the fact that Lauren was still living at Pineview Villa.

Instead of telling Paul, she simply shook her head and smiled, "No."

Harper didn't want to worry Paul. Even though this hospital stay was a ploy to deal with Benjamin, she wouldn't risk Paul's health in any way.

"If he dares to bother you, just let me know. I'll handle him," Paul said firmly.

His eyes filled with the love of an elder as he looked at Harper.

"Okay, I know you always have my back, Grandpa," Harper replied with a smile.

She patted Paul's leg, but the combination of skipping breakfast and the strong smell of disinfectant in the ward made her suddenly feel queasy. Without warning, Harper rushed to the bathroom and vomited. After emptying her stomach, Harper felt a sense of relief.

She washed her face before returning to Paul's side.

Paul watched her closely and asked in a low voice, "Harper, what's wrong with you?"

She shook her head calmly. "I'm fine, Grandpa. Probably just caught a cold these past few days. Don't worry."

Though Paul didn't say anything, he continued to watch her closely. "Harper, are you hiding something from me?" Harper froze.

She was never good at lying, especially to Paul, who loved her unconditionally.

She bit her lip and replied with a smile, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? How could I possibly hide anything from you?"

"Harper, even though we haven't spent much time together, I know you're a good kid. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'll always be on your side."

"Grandpa, I really am fine. Please don't worry," Harper insisted, causing Paul to fall silent.

After a long pause, he finally said, "Since you're feeling unwell, and you're here in the hospital, let the doctor take a look. It'll ease my mind."

Paul reached for his phone to make the call, but Harper hesitated and stopped him, looking conflicted and hesitant. "Grandpa, I really don't need a doctor. Please don't ask anymore, okay?" "Harper, don't you trust even me?"

Harper fell silent, sitting quietly with a pale, somber expression.
