Chapter 34 A Promise

Catalina immediately denied her idea.

She said to herself in her heart, "Who is Bennett?

He had just thrown his temper at me about this a few days ago, so how would he suddenly change his

mind?

Also, with his status, he would not condescend to visit my grandmother in person, would he?

But if it's not him, who will it be?"

"I feel that your handsome husband is familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before. Has he

been here before?"

Hearing this, Catalina was stunned for a moment.

"Can it be Aaron?" she thought.

Catalina frowned at the possibility.

Then she quickened her pace subconsciously.

On the one hand, she firmly believed that it was Aaron. She thought maybe he came to apologize

because of his guilt.

On the other hand, she was still expecting the so-called "boyfriend" to be Bennett.

Catalina walked quickly to the ward.

When seeing the scene inside, she was stunned for a moment.

Except for Maggie in the hospital bed and her aunt who was busy peeling fruit at the bedside, there

was no one else.

Aaron was not there.

Of course, Bennett wasn't there as well.

But somehow, Catalina still felt a faint sense of loss.

She thought, "What am I thinking?

How could I possibly think that the visitor was Bennett?"

Catalina sneered at her overconfidence in her heart.

"Why are you standing still here? Go in."

A deep and thick male voice suddenly sounded above Catalina's head from behind.

Catalina was startled.

When she looked back, her eyes lit up unconsciously, and her pupils dilated.

To her surprise, the man standing in front of her was really Bennett.

Bennett held the kettle in one hand and put the other in his trousers pocket. He looked down at her and

asked, "What are you looking at? Am I so attractive?"

Catalina didn't speak.

She felt that Bennett was as conceited as ever.

The warm winter sun filtered through the stained-glass windows of the ward and fell on Bennett's tall

body, looking like it had draped him in a misty gauze of gold.

He was like a god who exuded a natural light. He was noble, arrogant, and dazzling. He was

completely incompatible with the simple ward and the kettle in his hand.

Suddenly, Bennett leaned over, bent his finger, and knocked on Catalina's forehead. "Continue

appreciating me after we go home."

Catalina shrank her head in shock, and her watery eyes brightened a little.

Bennett's finger seemed to have tapped on the pool of her heart.

The placid surface of the pool instantly rippled because of him.

When she finally calmed down, Bennett had already bypassed her and entered the ward with the kettle

in his hand.

"Lina, what are you doing there? Come in quickly!"

Maggie happily greeted Catalina standing at the door.

Hearing this, Catalina finally came back to her senses.

"Grandma!"

She called Maggie in a sweet voice and walked in.

However, she was still very suspicious.

She thought, "It's hard to understand why the man who blew me out of the room with a cold face the

other day suddenly took the initiative to show up here.

What's more, he even helped Grandma fill the water kettle.

This was not what this superior young master would do.

Even Aaron would not do such a thing when he came to visit Grandma before."

Thinking of this, Catalina couldn't help glancing at Bennett again.

At the bedside, Bennett leaned over and whispered to Maggie. While he was inquiring after Maggie's

health, he interpreted with great accuracy the identity of a grandson-in-law.

Catalina could see that Maggie was delighted to see him.

Her heart was filled with warmth in an instant.

At the same time, she felt that Bennett's mind was really hard to ponder.

"Come here, Lina. Help peel an apple for Bennett."

Catalina's aunt found an excuse to pull Catalina aside and whispered with a smile, "I'm so glad to see

this, Lina. Bennett is the boy who used to come to our house looking for you when you were kids, right?

Unexpectedly, he is getting more and more handsome as he grows up. He's really a man of striking

appearance!"

The more she looked at Bennett, the more she liked him. "Look, he's way better than your ex-boyfriend!

He's a nice guy. See how happy he coaxed your grandmother. I haven't seen your grandmother so

happy for a long time."

Catalina looked back at Maggie who was in the hospital bed.

She did not know what Bennett had said to Maggie, who kept smiling.

Catalina's aunt added, "Bennett has booked a VIP ward for your grandmother. He said that she can

move in after the patient living there discharges this afternoon."

"What?"

Catalina was surprised.

"He's really considerate, isn't he?"

Catalina looked at Bennett in amazement.

It happened that Bennett also turned to look at her.

Their eyes met, and Catalina blushed. She immediately looked away and pretended to continue to peel

the apple as if nothing had happened.

"Lina."

Suddenly, Maggie, who was in bed, called her name.

"What's wrong, Grandma?" Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Come here. I have something to say to you."

"Okay!"

Catalina put the almost-peeled apple into the fruit tray, washed her hands, and then walked to Maggie's

bedside.

"Grandma."

She sat down on the bedside and took Maggie's hand.

She tried to ignore the man standing next to her.

Somehow, at that moment, she was shy to look at him.

The feeling was so subtle that even she didn't know why.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Catalina asked Maggie.

Maggie placed Catalina's hand on one hand, then held out the other to Bennett.

Catalina was stunned for a moment.

Bennett was also stunned, and he seemed to hesitate.

Catalina knew that Bennett had always been serious, even obsessive, about cleanliness. Therefore,

she knew that he would not hold hands with others casually.

"Grandma, he..."

Catalina was about to explain for him, but to her surprise, the next second, Bennett took the initiative to

reach out and hold Maggie's hand covered with senile plaques.

Catalina was taken aback.

She was really surprised.

She had not expected that he would cooperate with her in acting this play.

"I'm so happy today. Even if Death wants to take me away now, I can close my eyes in peace!"

Maggie held their hands as she spoke, looking deeply moved.

"Grandma, you are talking nonsense again. Didn't I say that you are not allowed to say such unlucky

words again?"

Catalina pretended to be angry and refuted Maggie's words.

Bennett looked down at her sitting on the bedside.

Just because of Maggie's words, her pretty eyebrows had furrowed tightly, and her eyes were also wet,

making her lovable.

Bennett was slightly stunned and then said to himself in his heart, "Lovable?

She? Impossible!"

Bennett frowned with displeasure.

"Okay, I will never say that again."

Maggie promised and then said, "But you two also have to promise me that you will love each other

forever."

As she spoke, Maggie put Catalina and Bennett's hands together tightly.

Catalina was startled.

Her small hand struggled almost reflexively in Bennett's big one, and she tried to withdraw it.

Her small face was quickly flushed.

Bennett's hand was actually cold, but as soon as their hands touched, Catalina felt as if she had been

burned by a fire, which spread rapidly through her whole body along her palm.
