Chapter 308 I Care About My Wife
Early in the morning, Madelyn woke up.
She felt like she had just had a dream.
In her dream, Benjamin had regained his memories and said gently, "Madelyn, I'm back!"
Madelyn sat up and touched her cold cheeks which were wet with tears.
At the bedroom door, Benjamin carried breakfast and looked at her with a hoarse voice, "Why are you crying?"
He walked over and placed the breakfast on the bedside table. He touched her forehead and said, "It's not too hot anymore!"
Madelyn stared straight at him.
Her nose was slightly red, making her look pitiful, which made the man pity her. Benjamin said in a low voice, "Don't look at me like that. I'm afraid I can't control myself."
Madelyn's lips trembled, but she didn't have the courage to ask.
Later, she calmed down a bit and asked, "How did you come here?"
Benjamin placed a pillow behind her and tried to feed her porridge. Madelyn declined and ate two mouthfuls before realizing that she hadn't brushed her teeth.
Her expression was a bit cute.
Benjamin couldn't help but reach out and lightly pinch her face. "In special circumstances, I can be lenient with you!"
Madelyn shook her head. "I don't have an appetite."
She still wanted to ask why he came here.
Benjamin leaned closer to her, his handsome face very close to hers, so close that their breaths mixed together. His dark eyes stared at her with an oddly gentle tone, "Are you doing well after the divorce? You're sick like this, and you're still carrying everything on your own!"
Madelyn wanted to move away, but he reached around her from behind and lightly embraced her waist, slowly stroking her.
There was no desire in his touch. He was just comforting her.
Benjamin was good-looking and so gentle with his touches that Madelyn found it hard to resist. But she tried to push him away, saying firmly, "I can have other people take care of me."
"Joseph? Or that Michael who acts like a pretty boy?" Benjamin asked. "Madelyn, do they love you the way I do? If they do, why do you reject them?"
Madelyn was struggling to breathe under his weight.
She felt nauseous again.
Benjamin noticed her discomfort and loosened his grip, giving her water and medicine.
Madelyn broke into a sweat.
She remembered that she had an appointment to see a property today.
Benjamin said softly, "Take care of yourself first. I'll deal with it in your place."
Madelyn was taken aback.
Just then, Joseph knocked on the door. Benjamin turned to look at her, and Madelyn said, "Don't open the door."
Benjamin snorted, "Am I not fit to be seen?" Then, he opened the door.
It was indeed Joseph, holding breakfast in his hands. The atmosphere became a bit tense between Benjamin and Joseph, but Joseph quickly smiled and asked, "How's Ms. Green doing?"
"She's fever-free now but still not feeling well," Benjamin stepped back and let Joseph enter. Joseph nodded and put down the breakfast.
He noticed the breakfast on the bedside table, and his gaze dimmed.
From start to finish, he knew he didn't stand a chance. Not only did Madelyn reject him tactfully, but also Benjamin was the one who discovered him and gave him a chance. Without Benjamin, he wouldn't be where he is today.
Joseph couldn't bring himself to do anything too treacherous.
Later, he and Benjamin discussed the property.
Madelyn was lying in the inner room, listening quietly.
Later, she fell asleep. But her last bit of consciousness was that she had somehow regained the feeling of having someone to rely on. Just like when she recklessly bumped into Eleanor, she wasn't fearless, and a pair of hands held her, telling her, "Madelyn, don't be afraid."
This sense of security, from beginning to end, could only be given by Benjamin, making Madelyn feel like she was sinking.

Madelyn slept in the hotel for a whole day.
When night fell, fiery clouds appeared in the sky, and the red glow was spectacular.
She took a shower and felt much lighter.
The door was pushed open, and Benjamin came in with two bento boxes. Seeing her back turned towards him, he asked gently, "Are you feeling better?"
Madelyn turned to look at him quietly.
Since his amnesia, they had been together for more than half a year.
She thought she knew him, but now she needed help understanding him. What was Benjamin thinking now? Was he only being nice to her to remarry her?
And was last night just a dream?
Benjamin sensed her struggle and smirked, "You're the mother of my two children, and I currently have no plans to remarry. Is it that strange that I'm treating you well?"
Madelyn silently walked over to the small dining table and sat down.
She was a little hungry.
Benjamin prepared the food, watching her eat with a smile. "You behave so well when you're hungry. But once you're full, you won't pay any attention to me, right?"
Madelyn was impressed with him. Even while eating, he could make such ambiguous comments.
She glared at him.
Benjamin smiled and talked to Madelyn about his thoughts on the property they had seen today. He had great vision and was very persuasive when he spoke. Even though Madelyn had achieved some success now, she still couldn't help but admire his ability.
Finally, he said thoughtfully, "But the other side also has some dirty secrets, so I suggest that if the property costs more than 51 million, it's not worth buying."
This number was almost the same as Madelyn's bottom line.
She murmured in agreement.
Benjamin looked at her in her bathrobe. She had a gentle look in her eyes. He couldn't help but touch her chestnut-colored hair and said, "You're so well-behaved right now, like a little mother."
