I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 399 Sacrifice

"I'm okay, and I just wanted to chat with you. Dr. Gene just came by this morning, and we owe it all to Benjamin. Without him, we might not have had the chance to meet an expert like Dr. Gene," Eleanor said earnestly. Harper understood naturally.

She nodded to show she understood.

Eleanor continued, "Harper, have you been in touch with your family lately?"

Eleanor naturally meant the Mitchell family, but it took Harper a couple of seconds to realize.

She looked at Eleanor and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Eleanor just smiled kindly, her heart exceptionally benevolent and her thoughts especially thorough. She said softly, "I'm preparing for surgery, and I'd like to see your mother before I go in. It's not convenient for me to visit the Mitchell Manor now. Could you ask if she might come to the hospital?"

Harper looked at Eleanor with a cold expression, filled with endless questions, but she asked emotionlessly, "Why do you want to see her?"

Eleanor has been in the hospital for so many days that the Mitchell family could know this.

Although the Mitchells weren't what they used to be, rumors about certain things still reached their ears.

Yet, until now, Jennifer hasn't gone to visit Eleanor. Harper couldn't deny feeling resentful, but she thought she had no right to demand attention from others, which was why she felt compelled to be extra kind to Eleanor. Eleanor never mentioned why she wanted to see Jennifer.

But she insisted that Harper should try to find Jennifer and ask her to come.
