Margot peered through the window on the ward's door and saw that Benjamin was already asleep. The light shone on him, making his complexion even paler.Margot adjusted her breathing and softly pushed the door open. Then she stepped inside.However, she felt a sharp gaze on her as she closed the door.Margot paused and blinked. She turned around, and a bright smile appeared on her face."Why are you awake? Were you waiting for me all this time?"Margot approached him with a lunchbox.Benjamin furrowed his brows as he looked at her. "Why are you back again?"She even changed her attire.She was wearing a red dress, and her long hair looked alluring. She looked completely different from her previous dirty and beggar-like appearance.A strange sensation stirred in Benjamin when he saw her like this.It was an odd feeling. It made him uncomfortable.How could that young girl evoke so many emotions in him?Margot placed the lunchbox on the cabinet and asked, "Are you hungry?"Be
Noticing him feeling gloomy, Margot flashed a playful smile at him. "Take your time to consider. I'm good at my job. I will definitely take good care of you. Of course, you can cover my meals if you don't want to pay a wage.""Do you think I'm short of money?" Benjamin couldn't help but retort.A mischievous glint flickered in Margot's eyes. "So, does that mean you agree? Then just pay me a salary according to the market rate."Benjamin was speechless. He cursed himself for his carelessness. He had actually fallen into this young girl's trap.Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin observed her. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Why was she so mature?She even knew how to play tricks. She didn't seem like she was seventeen or eighteen at all.Margot walked over and helped him up. "Let's have something to eat first, and then you can rest."Benjamin didn't resist either. After all, she was now his caretaker.The more he thought about it, the more exasperated he became.Marg
"Be careful!" Margot immediately came over to support him. After he lay down, she carefully tucked him in with the blanket. Seeing his furrowed brows, she asked, "Still feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?"She was about to leave after saying this.Benjamin instinctively held onto her hand. "I'm fine."Her hand was small and soft. But she was too thin. She felt too bony.Benjamin glanced at her hand and released it. "I'm going to sleep. You can go now."Margot blinked. "But I have nowhere else to go."Hearing this, Benjamin paused. He pursed his lips. "Then stay here."He had completely given in."Okay."Margot nodded and sat down on the sofa, watching him sleep.Her gaze made Benjamin uncomfortable. It was too intense, like she had many things to share with him.Didn't they only meet a few times?He did have some impression of her. He knew that she was an orphan from the orphanage.But they had no prior interactions. So why was Margot so in love with him?"Don't loo
Margot quickly returned with two lunchboxes in her hands. She placed them on the table and helped Benjamin to his feet. Immediately afterward, she set up the small table.Benjamin said, "I need to use the bathroom.""Sure, go ahead."Margot fiddled with the containers.Benjamin furrowed his brows, "I'm feeling dizzy and weak."Margot fell silent for a while, then helped him up from the bed.Benjamin draped his arm over her shoulder, and his entire weight pressed onto her.Margot found it a bit strenuous. She was really quite frail now.Benjamin complained, "You're too thin. Your bones are poking into me."Margot remained silent.After entering the bathroom, she helped him onto the toilet seat and left.However, Benjamin's voice echoed from the bathroom within just a few minutes."I'm done."Margot furrowed her brows slightly, but a smile tugged at her lips. "Mr. Inkling, have you managed to put your pants on properly? It wouldn't be appropriate if I walked in just like thi
Margot was slightly stunned. She then accepted the envelope. It was thick, indicating there should be a substantial amount inside.She lowered her eyes slightly to conceal her emotions. She had to accept the payment now. Otherwise, Benjamin would surely continue suspecting her.Harris glanced at her. "Please take good care of Mr. Inkling.""Don't worry."Margot smiled. Then, she headed to the kitchen to start preparing soup.Making the soup would take a while, so she sat in the living room and started watching a TV drama.As she watched the TV show, she suddenly felt dazed.Since returning to the present after being reborn, she hadn't contacted Tamara yet.Tamara was probably still with the Simmons. The Simmons family hadn't faced any financial difficulties. She was still the cherished daughter of the family.Margot's brows furrowed slightly.Should she intervene in Tamara's affairs?She knew Tamara would live a happy life as she was the daughter of the Moore family from Cla
Margot gave him a puzzled look. "What are you doing?"She thought he needed to go to the bathroom or get up from the bed. To her surprise, as soon as she approached, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him. They were now only inches apart.Margot was shocked and looked at him curiously. Her grin was sly. "Mr. Inkling?"Benjamin stared into Margot's bright eyes and felt his heart stir.His mischievous thoughts disappeared in an instant, and he cleared his throat. He frowned. "Why are you so close to me?"Margot was taken aback. Wasn't he the one who pulled her in?Benjamin released her wrist and said awkwardly, "Go away." Margot suddenly reached out and touched his forehead. "You're not running a fever. Why are you acting so weird?"Benjamin fell silent.However, instead of moving away, Margot stayed in the same position. She tilted her head at him. Upon seeing the faint blush painting his paled cheeks, her smile deepened."What were you planning to do?" Margot te
"Sure," Benjamin answered softly with his eyes lowered. Margot happily left the room with the phone in hand.A smile tugged at Benjamin's lips as he watched her leave. But as soon as he realized this, his smile immediately faded away. What was wrong with him? They had only known each other for a short time. Why was he being led around by her?He didn't like the feeling. He threw the fork down and crossed his arms.Margot successfully set up her phone number and logged into Instagram. However, she grew hesitant when deciding who to follow. Should she get in touch with Tamara? Should she tell her about the future?Margot felt conflicted."Margot Zimmerman." Just then, Benjamin's voice rang from the bedroom. Since the door wasn't closed, he didn't have to yell for her.Margot hummed in acknowledgment and entered the room. "Yes?"Benjamin huffed coldly, "Add me on Instagram. I don't want to have to shout for your attention."Margot nodded. "Sure." She gave him her acc
It felt natural like it was meant to be. Benjamin's brows furrowed until Margot placed the final plate on the table. She stood by the window with a smile on her face. "Enjoy your meal."Benjamin didn't say anything. He silently picked up his spoon and started eating. The table was filled with dishes meant to nourish the body, yet they tasted surprisingly good. His eyes lit up after the first taste of the soup.He glanced at her and wondered how a skinny girl like her managed to cook so well. It was obvious she was malnourished. And she lived in an orphanage as well. How did she cultivate her cooking skills?Benjamin was curious. "What are you looking at?" Margot sensed his gaze and asked, confused.Benjamin asked, "Didn't you grow up in an orphanage? Are you allowed to cook there?""Yes," Margot lied through her teeth. "Well? Isn't my cooking delicious?"In her previous life, after leaving the orphanage, she had worked hard and always dined out, which eventually led to gast
