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.

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

won’t do it anymore.”

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