Chapter 28
After that incident, I never saw Amelia again.
I tried to find her many times, but she had already left.
I was very worried about her, a girl who was sick; what should she do?
And the medication to control HIV is not cheap.
I used to be there for her, providing the support she needed, but now that she’s gone off the grid, how am I supposed to get her the meds she relies on?
It wasn’t until a friend found out that she sold Benjamin’s house and transferred all his assets that I breathed a sigh of relief.
Benjamin was a young man with some achievements, and after dividing the family property, he still had about 5 million.
As long as Amelia doesn’t spend extravagantly, that 5 million should be enough for her to live the rest of her life.
In just half a month, Benjamin’s world collapsed.
As soon as he was released from prison, he became unemployed.
The company, due to his HIV status, opted to pay him compensation and let him go.
After all, money can be made again, but life is only once.
The house was also sold by Amelia, and without a place to shelter from the wind and rain, Benjamin was like a homeless dog.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a snowy night.
After finishing work, as soon as I reached the entrance of the neighborhood, I saw him sitting in the snow, dressed in just a thin coat.
He was shivering from the cold, and people who didn’t know the situation might think he was pitiful.
But I was different.
My heart was like this icy weather.
Not a trace of pity, even though I once loved him deeply.
As soon as he saw me, he immediately got up and ran towards me.
I instinctively took a few steps back.
He knew I was avoiding him, so he stopped.
“Ollie, I only have you and our son now,” he said, trying to get close to me.
He wanted to win my sympathy.
I responded with a cold laugh: “You’re thinking too much, neither me nor our son are yours.
“Ollie, I really know I was wrong.”
“I was also deceived by Sophia. Please forgive me, will you?”
“From now on, we should be a family of three; our child shouldn’t have to grow up without a dad.”
After saying this, he even knelt down.
He thought I would soften, but I still said harsh words.
“Benjamin, you are really disgusting!
“You, with your skewed morals and decaying ethics, why on earth should I forgive you? It feels like I’ve been cursed for eternity to cross paths with you and get caught up in this mess.”
I had never spoken harshly to him before.
For a moment, he was so stimulated that his face turned pale, and his hands clenched into fists.
I turned away, done with the sight of his repulsive face.
Suddenly, at that moment, he grabbed my shoulder.
I turned slightly, and under the streetlight, his menacing stare was cast upon me.
He sneered coldly, “You think just because we’re divorced, we’re done for good?”
“You’re mistaken. We share a son, and he’s obligated to take care of me in my twilight years.”
His words left me speechless.
I’d always tried to sever all ties with him, never considering that our son was the unbreakable link between us.
I roughly shook off his grip on my shoulder and strode forward, never glancing back.
All that echoed was his mocking laughter, ringing out behind me.
