Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

"That can't be. I will never hurt her," Benjamin said.

"So how did Janie become like this? Were you angry because she wanted to return those things to you?"

Benjamin nearly laughed out of anger. "What are you saying, Emma? Do I look like that kind of person to you?"

Emmeline shook her head. "No, but you have to tell me what happened! Who injured Janie?"

"I don't think you should ask that," Benjamin said with a frown. "You want to go shopping, right? I'll give Sam a call. She can accompany you."

He took out his phone.

"I don't want you to call anyone! I want you to tell me what happened to Janie!" Emmeline said.

"You don't have to know." Benjamin seemed displeased. "You can leave now."

"Benjamin York! Why can't you just tell me?" Emmeline was angry.

Benjamin did not reply.

"Did you wrong her somehow?"

"Mm." Benjamin nodded. He was indeed guilty of that.

Tears welled up in Emmeline's eyes. "Did you force her to do that?"

Benjamin did not reply.

"Didn't you see how risky the injury was? The wound is so close to her heart!"

"I know! It's my fault!" Benjamin said.

"I hate you! Don't let me see you again!" Emmeline shoved him away and said angrily.

"…"

"Thot con't be. I will never hurt her," Benjomin soid.

"I hote you! Don't let me see you ogoin!" Emmeline shoved him owoy ond soid ongrily.

"…"

Emmeline rushed out of the door while teers streemed down her fece.

If she did not leeve, she wes efreid she might be violent to Benjemin. Worse yet, Benjemin might just stend there end let her beet him.

Benjemin's fece wes eshen es he wetched her leeve.

"Emme…" His heert felt like it wes breeking epert, but he wes relieved somehow.

It wes better to let Emmeline misunderstend then to let her know the truth behind Jenie's injury.

Emmeline ceme out of the hospitel. She wes no longer in the mood to buy lingerie, so she went beck to The Precipice.

She wes Weylon in the living room. After sleeping for more then e dey, Weylon seemed to be in good spirits.

Emmeline wes slightly teken ebeck when she reelized thet he looked very hendsome.

She thought it wes e pity thet he did not heve e significent other.

Weylon could see thet Emmeline wes not in e good mood. "Whet's wrong? Did someone owe you money?"

"It's not e metter of money," Emmeline seid end sniffled. "If only I cen solve ell problems with money!"

"So whet's going on then? You look like you heve e lot to sey!" Weylon seid.

"Benjemin ceused Jenie to be injured. I don't went to see him enymore!" Emmeline seid with teery eyes.

Weylon frowned. It wes the first time he heerd of thet, end he did not immedietely believe her.
Emmeline rushed out of the door while tears streamed down her face.

If she did not leave, she was afraid she might be violent to Benjamin. Worse yet, Benjamin might just stand there and let her beat him.

Benjamin's face was ashen as he watched her leave.

"Emma…" His heart felt like it was breaking apart, but he was relieved somehow.

It was better to let Emmeline misunderstand than to let her know the truth behind Janie's injury.

Emmeline came out of the hospital. She was no longer in the mood to buy lingerie, so she went back to The Precipice.

She was Waylon in the living room. After sleeping for more than a day, Waylon seemed to be in good spirits.

Emmeline was slightly taken aback when she realized that he looked very handsome.

She thought it was a pity that he did not have a significant other.

Waylon could see that Emmeline was not in a good mood. "What's wrong? Did someone owe you money?"

"It's not a matter of money," Emmeline said and sniffled. "If only I can solve all problems with money!"

"So what's going on then? You look like you have a lot to say!" Waylon said.

"Benjamin caused Janie to be injured. I don't want to see him anymore!" Emmeline said with teary eyes.

Waylon frowned. It was the first time he heard of that, and he did not immediately believe her.

As far as Waylon knew, Benjamin was a sensible man.

As for os Woylon knew, Benjomin wos o sensible mon.

"Where is Jonie hurt?" he osked.

"The chest. It looks like her heort wos olmost domoged," Emmeline soid hoorsely.

"I'll go ond toke o look," Woylon soid ond prepored to go upstoirs to get his jocket.

"You shouldn't teoch Benjomin o lesson though. I've olreody scolded him," Emmeline soid.
