CHAPTER 29 

Benjamin came home very hungry, holding a long package in one hand. He wanted to eat something spicy, so he cooked extra spicy chicken fry and then went to his room for a bath. 

Lisa slipped into the kitchen and took the chicken fry and rushed to her room. Both she and Roshan gorged on it and loved the taste. 

Meanwhile, inside Benjamin‘s room. “How long is she going to take to bathe?” Benjamin wondered. Having waited ten minutes doing nothing but sitting on his bed, he asked. “Can you come out?” Inside the bathroom, Rebecca was still there, sweating from having stayed there since afternoon. Nobody came to help her, and she had even cried a couple of times. Even after Benjamin entered the room just now, she was so angry she didn‘t call for his help straight away. Now, Benjamin was asking her to come rit, so wiped her face clean. 

Standing on one leg, she opened the door. Benjamin was on his bed and was peering at her, looking mildly annoyed, “C–Can you carry me to my bed?” she asked, Benjamin‘s expression didn‘t change. “Don‘t you have the maids?” if it was him before he heard Rebecca‘s speech on the stage, he would have jumped when she asked him to carry her, but now, his heart wasn‘t so eager to help her. It felt heavy for a valid reason. 

“You are right here, aren‘t you?” she hesitantly replied, but he stayed silent. “Will you help me or not?” she asked again. Even though she was talong the support of the doorpost to stand on one foot, she could only stand that way for so long. Benjamin got up and unfolded his sleeves. When she gave a puzzled look, he said, “I don‘t want to be touched by you, you know.” He went to the shelves and picked up her gloves. Rebecca‘s jaw dropped. “You‘ve gotta be kidding me.” “I wish I was,” he came to her, walking slowly and steadily without blinking. She was wearing long shorts that reached up to her knees. The curvy shape of her knees didn‘t stir his heart, but then again, the little mole right above her konee was able to catch his attention. He quickly looked back up at her face, “Did you just stare at my legs?” she asked. “O–Of course not,” he stopped before her. “I was wondering where my hands should hold

he doesn‘t even look at me! He‘s finally showing his true colors! All men are the same!” As she squinted her eyes harder, she noticed the package put on her bed. The 99 dollar receipt glued to it was signed by Benjamin. “Why did he put his package on my bed?” she was about to push it off the bed, but then a thought crept up in the back of her mind. Her hands froze for a second. “Is this what I think it is?” she opened the package with anticipation, and her expectations were met. Her face gained some glow, and she almost smiled as she looked at not one but two walking sticks with elbow crutches. No one in the family brought her a walking stick, and she didn‘t expect him to be the first one to buy this much–needed tool. Not just one, but two of them. She pressed her lips together in a bit of regret for having just called him a fool. “L... I thought he was angry at

The chubby maid had remembered seeing Lisa take it, but she said, “I don‘t know.” She then went out of her way to say, “Today‘s dinner menu is chicken, so if you want, you can wait.” “Wait?” Benjamin frowned. It would take at least one to two hours to
