Expressing feelings was one thing, but facing someone directly was an entirely different challenge. Sharlene's disbelief was palpable as she stammered, "I had no idea! My parents never mentioned they visited you.

I..." Her voice trailed off, growing softer and softer, until it was barely a whisper, lost among the sterile smells of the hospital room. Quintina let out a heavy sigh, her gaze drifting to the window, as if searching for clarity in the outside world. "It's not that I harbor any ill will towards you, Sharlene. But honestly, aside from the family drama, you and Benny are simply not meant for each other. You both have this stubborn streak, neither of you willing to bend even a little.

How could you possibly find happiness together?" "Back then, you had the courage to break up with him for the sake of studying abroad. In the future, who's to say you won't leave him again for something else?" Sharlene shook her head vigorously, her expression a mix of defiance and hurt. "No, Auntie! Benny and I have matured. We won't..." "You will," Quintina interjected, her voice firm and unwavering. "And your family will too.

Benny is intelligent, but he lacks the skills to navigate these tangled family dynamics." "He needs a partner like Madeline," she added, her tone final, as if sealing a fate. Sharlene's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and she instinctively bent forward, a gesture of apology. "I'm truly sorry on behalf of my parents, but-" Her gaze darted towards Bennett, who stood silently, a figure caught in the crossfire of their conversation.

"I have never wronged Bennett." "You do know your son well, and he is indeed considerate in many ways," Quintina acknowledged, "but he simply doesn't understand how to love someone. He's like that with everyone. As for the Madeline you mentioned, I've looked into her too." "Do you really believe they are a good match? It seems to me that Madeline is simply willing to indulge him and put him on a pedestal." Bennett stood there, observing the heated exchange with a heavy heart, his voice low but commanding as he said, "Everyone, out.

I need some peace." Within moments, the room was emptied, leaving him alone in the sterile confines of the hospital. **0.00%** **12:09** **Chapter 15** **288 Vouchers** Bennett's hands clenched tightly, fingers digging into his skin as he covered his face, unable to suppress the sobs that surged from deep within him. Yes, it was clear to everyone. His five years with Madeline had only been possible because she had been willing to accommodate his flaws. He felt it deep in his heart, and he was certain Madeline knew it too.

Yet, she had chosen to stay by his side for five long years, even agreeing to marry him. She had always understood the kind of person he was. In the end, her love stemmed from her willingness-her willingness to embrace all his shortcomings. He should have recognized this truth long ago, instead of allowing anxiety to cloud his mind, ultimately leading him to run away. Why had he worried so much, only to push Madeline away? They had been so close to tying the knot. Just one more step, that's all it took. And he was the one who had shattered it all.

Tears streamed down his face, each droplet a silent testament to his grief, soaking into the quilt beneath him, leaving behind small, damp marks. Bennett had always prided himself on being emotionally stable, never allowing himself to cry over anything trivial. He had never believed anything was worth shedding tears for; when faced with challenges, he would simply devise a solution. But now, as the weight of regret, panic, helplessness, and confusion over losing Madeline crashed down on him, tears became his only means of expression. Where could he possibly go to find her?

The world felt so vast and unyielding. If she was determined to hide, would he ever see her again for the rest of his life? Bennett refused to let Madeline slip away like this. There were too many misunderstandings between them that needed to be clarified. There were still countless dreams they had promised to pursue together. He couldn't afford to lose her. **30.50%** **12:10** **Chapter 15** *** **288 iVouchers** Three years later, Bennett strode into the office, his expression as cold as the winter air outside.

In the span of three years, he had transformed into a prominent figure in the technology sector in New York. After the storm surrounding Sharlene had calmed, the hospital reinstated his position, but Bennett chose to walk away. With resolute determination, he ventured into the business world, seizing Edmund's resources and diving headfirst into the field of medical technology, an area he knew intimately. In those three years, he had evolved from a target of mockery, labeled a daydreaming nerd, to a respected figure known as Mr. Webster. Yet, it still wasn't enough.

He needed to rise higher, to reach further, so that Madeline could finally see him clearly. The large television screen in the office flickered with news reports. Bennett frowned, reaching for the remote to turn it off, but his hand froze as he caught a glimpse of a particular segment. "A landslide occurred in the mountains north of Berlin. A teacher from the University of the Arts Berlin and her husband, who were there for fieldwork, are currently missing, and their fate remains uncertain.

Only some of their belongings have been recovered..." Bennett stared, entranced by the image on the screen-a drawing board half-buried in snow, on which a camellia had been crudely carved. The lines on the leaves were chaotic, yet if one looked closely, they seemed to form a letter. He could almost hear that cheerful, slightly teasing voice echoing in his mind. "Bennett, look at my drawing board. Do you see anything different?" "No." "Come on, take a closer look." "No." "Alright, I'll spill the beans. This camellia was carved by my dad when he was bored in the hospital room.

It has my name on it. Look, isn't that a 'Maddie'?" **60.90%** **12:10** **Chapter 15** *** **288 Vouchers** The news on the television had already transitioned to another story, but in Bennett's mind, that crudely carved camellia lingered, an indelible image. There likely wasn't another one like it anywhere in the world. That missing teacher was still an artist... Suddenly, Bennett sprang to his feet, urgency propelling him forward. His assistant entered with a steaming cup of coffee, a puzzled look on his face. "Mr.

Webster, the meeting is in half an hour..." "Cancel it," Bennett commanded, his voice resolute. "Book me a flight. As soon as possible." "To Berlin." **12:10** **0** **91.16%** **Chapter 16** *** **288 Vouchers** Conclusion In the aftermath of the emotional turmoil that unfolded within the sterile confines of the hospital, Bennett found himself at a crossroads.
