Chapter 1385

“Hi, Benny, how are things going?”

“I need your help.

” Benny went straight to the point.

“Could you put me in touch with Carl? I have a message for him.

”

The assurance from the other end was swift.

“Don’t worry.

I promise, I’ll manage it smoothly.

”

“Thank you.

” Then Benny hung up the phone.

His mind momentarily wandered before recalling Flossie’s reminder about his medication.

He lingered for a moment, then decisively shut down his computer and exited his room.

Outside, Flossie was a bundle of nerves, debating whether to knock again but fearing she might intrude upon his solitude or worse, provoke his ire.

As she wavered, the sound of the door opening heralded Benny’s appearance.

Their eyes met, and Flossie, momentarily taken aback, quickly masked her surprise with a smile, “I was just about to remind you about your medication.

I’ve prepared a glass of water for you; it’s lukewarm.

”

Benny approached with a stoic demeanor, his gaze briefly settling on the cup before he methodically inspected the pills and swallowed them.

Witnessing his methodical behavior, Flossie’s smile faded into a more restrained expression.

After setting down the cup, Benny turned to retreat to his study but paused upon hearing Flossie’s voice.

“Benny.

” Flossie felt upset.

“Don’t you trust me at all?”

The hurt in her question was palpable.

Benny turned away from her, his voice icy with resolve.

“I nearly lost my life.

Caution is now my creed.

There’s much I still need to accomplish.

”

“Do you want to take revenge?” Flossie’s voice cut through the tension.

At her question, Benny spun around, his gaze piercing, tension etched in the clench of his jaw.

He pondered how she had unraveled his intentions so swiftly, but then it dawned on him-she was his savior; of course, she understood his heart.

Acknowledging the truth, he confirmed, “Yes, revenge is my pursuit.

With a step closer, Flossie reached for his hand, her eyes earnest.

“Let me stand by your side in this.

”

Benny’s initial reaction was a flicker of surprise, swiftly masked by a veneer of sarcasm.

“Do you even grasp who my enemy is? How dare you offer to help me?”

Flossie was aware of her limitations.

Yet, from the moment she had saved him, she had silently vowed to be his unwavering support.

“I don’t know who is your enemy,” she admitted, her head shaking slightly, yet her gaze remained unwaveringly resolute.

“Regardless of who stands against you, my support is yours.

From the moment I saved your life, I’ve committed to stand by you, unwavering.
