I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 385 Overthinking

Eleanor sighed, her voice tinged with guilt, "Harper, it's all my fault. If I hadn't caused you trouble, none of this would have happened. It must be because of me. I'm old now. I don't need any surgery. I've lived long enough." "Grandma, it really has nothing to do with you. Please, don't worry yourself."

But Eleanor couldn't stop blaming herself, convinced it was all connected to her. Overcome with emotion, her health faltered, forcing her to call for a nurse. After taking her medication, thankfully, no serious incident occurred. Harper felt a lingering fear, an indescribable feeling weighing on her heart.

She whispered soothingly to Eleanor, "Please don't talk like that anymore. No matter what, I'll always be there for you. If you don't want to cause me trouble, then please cooperate with the treatment. I'm pregnant now, and it would hurt me if you didn't listen." Harper spoke softly for a while, unsure if Eleanor was taking her words to heart, but eventually, Eleanor stopped protesting.

Harper stayed with Eleanor in the hospital until she fell asleep, then left.

Returning to her car with a stern, expressionless face, she instructed the driver to take her straight to the office.

Just a moment ago, Benjamin had told her he loved the mother of his child, yet now, rumors about him and Lauren were swirling.

Harper found it rather amusing.

She was also relieved she hadn't responded to him.

If she had given in to a moment of confusion and answered him, her self-esteem would have been trampled into the dust.
