Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 136: The Golden Canary in the Cage

When they returned from the hospital, Martina couldn’t hide her worry on her face.

Even though Benjamin was the one who got injured, he seemed completely unaffected,

appearing as if nothing had happened at all. Right now, his main concern was Martina’s attitude towards him, and nothing else mattered.

In this strange twist of fate, it seemed like Martina had finally shown some glimpses of her past feelings for him, even if it was just a tiny bit.

The two of them returned to their hotel room. Martina had brought back some

medication from the hospital, including bandages for dressing wounds and oral medication mainly for anti–inflammatory and antibacterial purposes.

Martina immediately boiled some hot water for Benjamin and kept on fussing over him.

“Why are you so impulsive? Back then, even without you, I would’ve just had a minor arm scrape, but you got injured in the back,” she scolded, worry evident in her voice.

The doctor said at the time that if Benjamin hadn’t been lucky, he might have punctured his lung, and that would have been much harder to treat. If the lungs get infected, it could

lead to a dangerous condition.

Just the thought of that possibility made Martina’s heart broken, and she couldn’t calm

down for a long time.

“Please don’t do such impulsive things again. Regardless of the situation, people need to be a bit selfish and consider themselves more. You’ve done well before, right?” she continued. “I don’t want to see anything like this happen again. Please promise me that you

won’t do it anymore.”

“For the next few days, maybe you should take a break from work and focus on healing!” she suggested.
