Bennett had a suspicion that she was suffering from food poisoning, He wiped the corners of her mouth clean before carrying her to the garage. He placed Claudia in the back seat of the car, started the engine in a hurry, and drove away from the villa.

Soon, a black Bentley could be seen racing down the highway at high speed in the dead of night.

There was a hospital two kilometers away from the villa. Due to the lack of traffic at night, Bennett was able to reach their destination in under ten minutes,

As soon as they entered the hospital, Claudia said that her stomach was hurting again and that she needed to use the restroom.

And so Bennett carried her to the nearest restroom he found.

The hospital only had squat toilets, Because Bennett was worried that she would faint from exhaustion, he stayed outside the cubicle instead of leaving the restroom.

Claudia had never experienced such severe diarrhea before. The last of her inhibitions crumbled as she vomited her guts out,

A few minutes later, a doctor examined her and concluded that she was indeed experiencing the effects of food poisoning.

After the nurse administered an injection to her, she threw up again for a bit, on the floor this time, until her stomach settled down.

Bennett transferred Claudia to a clean hospital bed and requested that the on-duty nurse bring a mop to clean up the vomit.

Claudia started to feel better, but all the vomiting she did depleted her strength.

She rolled to her side on the bed and watched as Bennett mopped the mess on the floor. Suddenly, the rims of her eyes reddened,

Once Bennett had finished cleaning up, he stowed the mop away and returned to Claudia's side, only to find her crying.

She had her hand over her eyes, and he gently pulled it away, asking, “Cece? Do you still feel sick?"

He scowled, seeming less calm and collected than usual.

Claudia took a deep breath and shook her head. She pointed at her chest and replied, "I feel uncomfortable here."

“Your chest hurts? Hang on. I'll call the doctor..."

He turned to leave, but the woman on the bed grabbed his hand before he could do so.

When Bennett looked back at her, Claudia was staring at him with teary eyes.

"You haven't done something like that before, have you?"

He normally had a strong aversion to filth, but he cleaned up her vomit just now.

Upon hearing that, Bennett finally understood why she was crying.

He sighed with relief and settled on the chair next to the bed, He reached out and placed a comforting hand on her cheek.

“I'm doing things that I haven't done before because I have a wife now."
