Chapter 18 Benjamin woke up again , the strong smell of disinfectant filling his nostrils . The effects of the alcohol had not completely worn off , and combined with the weakness from excessive blood loss , his mind felt foggy . After opening his eyes , he stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before his consciousness fully returned . Margot , who had been keeping watch by his side , saw that he was finally awake and immediately rushed over , her voice choked with emotion and her face full of pain . " Benjamin , how could you be so foolish ! For a woman , you were willing to risk your life ? If something happened to you , how would your mother go on living ! " Harvey , standing nearby , also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Benjamin awake , but his face was extremely grim , his eyes burning with barely contained anger and disappointment . " Benjamin ! Look at yourself , risking your life for a woman ! You've disgraced the Bagnall family ! Since Isabel is de- termined to leave , you should show some backbone and pull yourself together ! Hurry up and choose a woman who matches our status and get married , so you can carry on the Bagnall family line ! " Margot wiped her tears and echoed from the side : " That's right , Benjamin , there are plenty of good women in this world ! If Isabel can't stand by you through hardship , it's her loss ! Why torture yourself over her ! " Hearing his parents ' words , Benjamin was stunned at first , then burst out laughing . Margot was startled by his manic laughter . " Isabel , she knew I was faking amnesia all along ! She knew everything ! " " Dad , Mom , why didn't you stop me back then ? If I hadn't brought Gianna home , Isabel wouldn't have left me ! " Margot was taken aback , a faint sense of guilt toward Isabel rising in her heart , but she stubbornly retorted : " So what if she knew ? It's no big deal for a man to have a few flings outside ! " " Since she's the Bagnall family's daughter - in - law , she should know her place ! As long as she obediently acts as Mrs. Bagnall , who could threaten her position ? Making such a scene is just petty and undignified ! " Benjamin looked at Margot in disbelief . After he married Isabel , Margot had always treated Isabel with care , even personally making soup for her from time to time . He never expected such harsh words to come from Margot's mouth . " Mom , if Dad had someone else outside , could you be so understanding ? " Hearing this , a flash of anger crossed Margot's face : 0.0 % 12:47 wwwwww " How could that be the same ? Isabel and I are not the same ! Your father and I are perfectly matched ! " " We only agreed to let her marry in because you were so fond of Isabel . She's pretty and well - educated , so we thought she could give the Bagnall family an outstanding grandson ! " " Who knew she would be so disappointing , finally getting pregnant but unable to keep the child ! " " Being able to marry into the Bagnall family was already a huge blessing for her , but she didn't cherish it . She made a huge fuss over Gianna and even dared to secretly get a divorce ? I really regret agreeing to let you marry her ! " These cold words were like poisoned needles , stabbing one by one into Benjamin's heart . He suddenly struggled to sit up , grabbed the water cup on the bedside table , and smashed it hard onto the floor ! " Shut up ! You're not allowed to talk about Isabel like that ! " The sharp sound of shattering glass and his roar nearly made Margot fall over in fright , but Harvey caught her just in time . Seeing this , Harvey stepped forward and slapped Benjamin across the face ! " Ungrateful son ! How dare you shout at your mother over a woman ?! " Harvey wanted to slap Benjamin again , but Margot held him back tightly . " Enough , enough , our son just woke up , he's still sick ... " Harvey's chest heaved violently as he shook off Margot's hand and glared at Benjamin , dropping a bombshell . 63.7 % Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
