My Husband's Betrayal My Brothers' Revenge (Rebekah) novel Chapter 86

Benjamin took Rebekah to the hospital. After examining her leg, the doctor's expression grew serious.

"This is a new injury on top of an old one. She needs to be admitted for observation. If this doesn't heal properly, she could have lifelong complications."

The doctor's words finally brought home the severity of what he had done. A chill went through Benjamin. He looked at Rebekah, his voice softening with regret. "I'm sorry, Rebekah. It was my fault. I'll hire the best medical team. I'll take responsibility. Even if it doesn't heal, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."

Rebekah looked at him under the harsh, sterile light of the hospital room. He was still handsome, with his sharp brows and high nose bridge. His eyes, usually so intense, were now soft with concern, just as they had been when they were first married.

But she had seen behind the mask. She would never again hold any hope for him. Who wanted to be taken care of by him for a lifetime?

Her voice was cool and distant. "You can go."

Benjamin frowned. "Your leg… you can't move. I'll stay and look after you."

"You injured me for Candice's sake. How can you rest easy without going to check on her?" Rebekah's gaze was flat, her dark eyes empty of emotion.

Benjamin opened his mouth but couldn't find a rebuttal. Candice had been hurt that morning, and although the Griffin family had gotten their pound of flesh at the Fletcher estate, Sienna's mother was a petty woman. He worried she might still take her anger out on Candice. He had brought Rebekah to the hospital, so checking on Candice for a moment should be fine.

He looked back at Rebekah, his expression conflicted. "Since you're so concerned about her, I'll go see how she is. You get some rest. I'll be back soon."

With that, he left, his steps quick and purposeful, disappearing from the room in an instant.
