I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 398 She Is an Adult

"Don't overthink it. Annie is an adult. Even the best of friends can't share or make decisions for her, you understand?" Benjamin said. Harper didn't make a sound, nor did she respond.

Even though she knew Benjamin was right, she still felt guilty for not taking better care of Annie.

Harper had almost gone without sleep the entire night, and an hour later, she couldn't keep her eyes open any longer and fell asleep. Benjamin laid her on the couch, covered her with his jacket, slightly turned up the air conditioner, and then left the hospital room. He picked up his phone, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately called Larry.

At this time, Larry was still asleep and was surprised by the call. "Benjamin, it's so early, what's up?"

"Just you?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course, it's just me. You think you're here with me?" Larry said, his tone teasing. Benjamin spoke indifferently. "Annie's in the hospital. She just had her stomach pumped and hasn't woken up yet." "What happened to her?"

"I don't know the details, only that she got alcohol poisoning in the middle of the night."

Benjamin's tone was light, but Larry felt the weight of his words.

Larry was silent, not knowing what to say.

Benjamin simply added, "Just think about it."

With that, he ended the call without giving Larry a chance to say more.

Annie woke up around eight in the morning, just as Benjamin had left for the office, leaving Harper alone by her side.
