I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Trended

Due to the commercial shoot, the area was crowded, and sticking around would only attract more onlookers. He was there to ask her about something from a year ago, so he didn't want to waste more time. After a moment's consideration, he walked over to her.

Lauren's eyes also showed a hint of a smile. She raised her arms and let him scoop her up in a princess carry, her hands naturally wrapping around his neck.

Being so close made Benjamin's expression grow cold, his eyes distant and frosty.

Lauren gave Emily a look, and she quickly understood, pulling out her phone.

Benjamin carried her from the riding arena directly to his car, with Rue and Emily following.

In the car, Lauren looked apologetically at Benjamin and said, "Benjamin, I'm really sorry you had to come all this way, and now you even have to take me to the hospital."

Benjamin's face was unreadable, his gaze fleeting. He asked, "Tell me what the person you remember looks like."

"Now? Maybe we should wait until we get to the hospital." Lauren suggested, indicating it wasn't a good time.

After that, Benjamin fell silent.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital, where Rue accompanied Lauren for a check-up while Benjamin stood outside the examination room, smoking.

Unbeknownst to him, the media had snapped photos of him carrying Lauren from the racecourse to the hospital and posted them online.

The news quickly trended.

Everyone knew that Lauren and Benjamin had once dated, but Benjamin was now married to Harper, a fact publicly acknowledged by the Martin Group's official account.

The complex relationships among the three were hot topics online.

"Did Benjamin and Harper get a divorce?"

"Did the Martin family cut ties with the Mitchell family after their downfall?"

"Can the involved parties respond?"

"Where are Lauren's PR and manager? Why isn't anyone responding?"

"Does this mean he's back with Harper after a secret divorce?"

"Really? Then why was Benjamin carrying her?"

Harper was at a loss for words, unsure how to explain.

Eleanor was visibly upset. Aging and confined to the hospital, she didn't want to be a burden on others, especially Harper, which led her to doubt herself.

Harper, feeling helpless, finally picked up her phone to contact Benjamin. "I'll call him, and let him speak to you directly, okay?"

Eleanor nodded in agreement.

Harper dialed Benjamin's number. The call went through, but no one answered until it automatically hung up.

She tried two more times with the same result.

Harper gripped her phone tightly and tried to maintain a composed look as she faced Eleanor, but ultimately, she had to be honest.

"He might be busy. Let's try again later, okay?" Harper comforted.
