Chapter 492 Birthday Party
Harper held Eleanor's hand and whispered soothingly, "It's okay, don't worry." She then continued, "I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first and come back tomorrow."
"All right, go ahead and deal with your matters. There's no need to visit every day. I'm doing just fine. You are pregnant now, so you have to be careful. Do you understand?"
Harper nodded and left.
But not long after she left, Benjamin arrived.
They had missed each other.
Eleanor couldn't help but tease, "Did you wait for Harper to leave before coming here?"
"She left?"
Benjamin had been meeting a client nearby and knew that Harper was at the hospital, so he had come especially to visit.
Hearing that Harper had just left, he called her on the phone.
The call went through, but no one answered.
He narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of confusion.
Eleanor said, "She might be driving. Do you want to head to her company to look for her?"
Benjamin smiled gently, "No need, I'll just chat with you for a bit."
"Really?" Eleanor replied with a smile.
He nodded in agreement. "Really. How have you been feeling?"
Benjamin chatted with Eleanor for nearly an hour, showing no sign of impatience and managing to discuss any topic with her, making Eleanor very happy.
But deep down, he was still puzzled over where Harper had gone, and she hadn't replied to his phone calls.
He thought, "It doesn't take more than an hour to go from the hospital to her company. Once she gets to the company, doesn't she check her phone?
Or did she not go to the company at all but somewhere else instead?"
