Chapter 13 Reluctant To Part“Because I don't love him.” Kathleen eyes were cold.You don't love him?However, he thought that Kathleen actually loved Samuel.The previous night, hearing her roaring atSamuel hysterically, he knew that she loved him. Otherwise, she would have given up on the fightfrom the beginning.She was devastated and upset only because she was in love with him.”"He musthave not known how good you are,” said Benjamin in a raspy voice.”It doesn’t matter how good Iam. He doesn't love me anyway.” Kathleen took a deep breath, then continued, “Let's not talk abouthim anymore. Right, you said that you wanted to be a policeman when you were young. It turns outthat you've actually become one now.”Benjamin smiled.In fact, it wasn't him that wanted to be apoliceman but Kathleen.There was one time when Gemma and Kathleen were talking about howseductive uniforms were, and he had borne it in mind since then.He knew that Kathleen likedpolicemen, so he became one. After she was adopted by the Macari family, Gemma and he was alsoadopted by different families respectively.Even though they didn't keep in touch as much since then,he remembered everything that Kathleen had said.“Actually, a policeman is only an occupation,”answered Benjamin.”I'm jealous of you and Gemma because you guys can do what you like. Samueldoesn't let me go out and work. Otherwise, I would have already become famous,” said Kathleen infrustration.Benjamin smiled. “You're only twenty-three years old. It's not too late for you to debutnow."“You're right.” Kathleen grinned.However, she didn't have a chance to debut anymore.She hadto give birth to a baby, so she didn't have time for it. There was no hope for her to make a debut inthe future too.If the others found out that she had an illegitimate child, Samuel would definitelyknow about it too.For her baby, she could not appear in the public.She certainly would not do

it After eating, Kathleen went to pay the bill.She swiped her card but found that the transaction wasunsuccessful. What's going on?Benjamin noticed the situation, so he paid with his card instead.”I'msorry about that.” Kathleen was helpless and awkward.Benjamin stared at the black card in her handand said, “Kathleen, spending other people's money means you're being controlled bythem.”Kathleen pursed her lips.She agreed with Benjamin's words.The black card was given to herby Samuel.Hence, he could freeze the card whenever he wanted.This man has gone overboard. Iwonder what's in his mind.“Let’s go. I'll send you home,” said Benjamin.”Benjamin, you can carry onwith your work. I still have other stuff to deal with,” said Kathleen gently.”Are you really going to befine on your own?” Benjamin frowned.”I'll be okay.” Kathleen nodded."All right, then.” Benjamindidn't want to force her.Kathleen and he walked out of the restaurant together.When they arrivedon the side of the road, Benjamin gathered his courage and said, “Kathleen, I still don’t have yourcontact number."Kathleen blinked several times out of surprise.”Actually, Gemma wants it.”Benjamin used his sister as an excuse.”Okay.” Kathleen took out her phone.At that moment, a blackmotorcycle drove toward them.The man who was on the motorcycle suddenly took out a baseballbat from behind.”Be careful!” Benjamin knew that the man was targeting Kathleen.He pulled herinto his arms to protect her.Bang!The baseball bat landed on the back of Benjamin'shead.”Benjamin!” Kathleen shouted in shock.However, Benjamin wrapped Kathleen tightly in hisarms.He was afraid that the man would try to hurt her again.The man didn’t attack themanymore.Initially, he had intended to end Kathleen's life with one hit What he never expected wasthat Benjamin would willingly sacrifice his life to protect her.He would be caught if he continuedattacking.Hence, the man drove off.Kathleen held Benjamin in her arms as he was swaying andunable to stand upright. They then staggered backward and slumped onto the ground.Kathleenimmediately pulled out her phone to call the ambulance and the police.Soon, the ambulancearrived, and the paramedics carried Benjamin into the vehicle.The policemen and Kathleen went to ahospital nearby.The hospital was Goodwill Hospital. The policemen were taking Kathleen'sstatement.She was dumbfounded the entire time.As she had never experienced something like thatin her entire life, she was completely stunned.The police officer noticed that she was notemotionally stable. Hence, he said, “Ms. Johnson, should I notify your family?"“I don't have anyfamily members. My parents are not here anymore.” Kathleen then raised her head. Her eyesreddened as she continued, “Please make sure to catch the culprit."“Don“t worry, we will. It's ourcolleague who's injured. We will do our best in replaceing out the culprit,” answered the policeofficer."Thanks.” Tears streamed from Kathleen's eyes.If Benjamin was dead because of her, shedidn’t know how she could give Gemma an explanation.”Kathleen!” Gemma's voice was

heard Kathleen raised her head and saw Gemma running over in a nurse uniform.”You two knoweach other?” The police officer was surprised."The injured person is my brother, and this is myfriend. I'm a nurse in this hospital,” replied Gemma.The police officer understood the situation andsaid, “We will be going back to investigate the incident now. I will notify you all if we have anyupdates.”“Okay. Thanks for your hard work.” Gemma was calm.The police officer nodded andleft.Looking at the blood on Kathleen's body, Gemma knew how serious Benjamin's condition was.Infact, she was shaking.Due to her occupation, she had faced many deaths in the past few years.Hence, she forced herself to remain calm in any situation.”Kathleen.” Gemma reached out her handand touched Kathleen's face.Kathleen was trying to hold her tears in. However, at that moment, shecouldn't help but burst out in tears.“Gemma, I'm sorry. Benjamin is hurt because he was trying toprotect me. I should be the one lying on the sickbed now.”If she caused Gemma to lose the onlyfamily member she had left, she would never forgive herself."Don’t be like this, Kathleen. Stopblaming yourself. My brother will certainly not want to see you in this state. To him, the mostimportant thing is to protect you.”Kathleen was stunned.”Everything is going to be all right.Benjamin will survive this. He's reluctant to part with you and leave this world."Kathleen burst out intears after hearing that.She didn't want to drag anyone into the mess.However, Benjamin was stillhurt because of her.Gemma couldn't help but let her tears fall too.She lowered her body andtouched Kathleen's forehead with her own. “It's fine, Kathleen. We will all be okay. Everything will beover soon."At that moment, the light above the operating room door was turned off.A doctor cameout from the room.Kathleen and Gemma walked over.”Dr. Green, how's my brother?” Gemma knewShawn Green, the doctor in charge."The patient's brain is severely injured. If he can survive for thesethree days, he will be fine. If he can't...” Shawn looked at Gemma with a meaningful look andcontinued, “You know what will happen since you're also a medical personnel.”"Thanks, Dr. Green.”Gemma's face turned pale.”You're welcome. Don’t worry. We will do our best to treat your brother,”comforted Shawn.Gemma choked up, “Okay."The eyes of Kathleen were reddened.She turnedaround and left."Kathleen, where are you going?” asked Gemma in surprise.“I'll come back soon.”Kathleen gritted her teeth.She took the elevator upstairs.Everyone in the elevator was looking at herwith odd gazes as they saw that she was covered in blood."Miss, are you hurt?” asked a lady withconcern.Kathleen shook her head numbly as she answered, “I'm fine."Right then, the elevator arrivedat a floor.Kathleen stepped out of the elevator.She walked toward a ward, then pushed open thedoor forcefully.
