He shook his head and pointed to a room next door and said, "Go in and take a bath, and be careful not to touch your wounds."
I lowered my head and looked at myself. I was kicked by Steve on the ground this morning. My body was indeed very dirty.
I got up and went in, and Benjamin said again: "Turn on the heating, don't get cold."
His indifferent tone didn't match his concerning words at all.
"Alright."
I didn't have any clothes to change into, so I put on a white bathrobe and went out, while Benjamin was reading carefully with his head slightly down.
When he was alone, he was always quiet.
Benjamin had took off his bathrobe, his thick black hair was slightly wet on his head, his sleeves were rolled up at will, revealing his firm forearms.
Hearing the movement, he tilted his head to look at me.
"Come here.' He commanded me, I stopped for a second and still sat beside him.
Benjamin closed the book and said: "Emma, every time I see you, you seem to be in an awkward situation. What have you done with yourself?"
What have I done indeed?
But the way I saw it, he was my lucky star, being there whenever I got into trouble.
The first time I was framed by Charlotte, the first person I met when I went out of the bar was him, and he was also the one who I slept with.
When we met for the second time, Steve beat me half to death, and he caught me the moment I was unconscious.
When we met for the third time, Charlotte and Steve shattered my self-esteem completely.
The fourth time we met, I was forced to abort a child but he came mysteriously. I still didn't know why he knew that I had an accident.
On the fifth time, he bailed me out from the police station.
Looking back, none of them seemed like a good memory.
I came back to my senses and said, "I was blind to be with Steve."
He agreed with me, "Indeed."
For a while, there was only silence between us.
I hesitated for a long time and said, "He took pictures of me."
Benjamin paused, tapping his fingertips lightly on the cover of the book he had just read. It was a Spanish magazine.
"I know." Benjamin's eyebrows perked up, like an iceberg poking out of the ocean's surface, revealing mysterious danger.
Benjamin was a very indifferent man, but sometimes he was very lively. It sounded very contradictory but it was just the way he was.
My university's major was criminal investigation psychology which gave me a unique perspective when it came to people's expressions and way of speaking.
But when I studied him carefully, I was at a loss.
He knew how to conceal himself very well, which gave people a mysterious feeling, and even inadvertently charm people.
I couldn't see him through at all.
I said worryingly, "I'm afraid he will threaten me with this tomorrow."
I lowered my head slightly, feeling embarrassed in my heart.
This was a shame, but I could only ask him for help.
Hearing this, Benjamin raised his eyebrows and looked at me with extreme indifference deep in his eyes. He said, "He wouldn't dare."
The tone was unusually firm.
I was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
"Do you think I will let him keep them to threaten you?" Benjamin smiled: "Emma, you are my woman. I am responsible for whatever it is as long as it concerns you. So you don't have to worry."
I wondered: "What did you do?"
In fact, these words Benjamin said moved me very much. My heart couldn't help but pound in my chest like a wild beast, but I knew I had to restrain myself.
