Chapter 5

The house was dark. Leonore did not turn on the light and sat alone in the darkness.

It was as if she had broken down and cried countless times in the dark night before, her beloved gently held her in his arms and comforted her with a gentle voice.

With a click, the sight suddenly became bright.

The girl instinctively closed her eyes and slowly adapted to the cold white light.

However, she heard Hamish unpleasantly question why she did not turn on the lights.

She did not answer, just stared at his left chest with a daze after her eyes adapted to the light.

Dear, if you knew that the person who carried your heart now bullies me like this, you would be very angry, right?

But it's okay, I will definitely fulfill your wish and keep your heart beating vividly.

Hamish felt uncomfortable. He hated this kind of look from Leonore the most, as if she was looking through him at someone else.

However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he disdainfully put it behind his mind and sneered in his heart.

Everyone thought that Leonore loved him deeply, so how could she possibly look for the shadow of someone else in him?

But it was just him thinking too much.

Thinking of this, the man walked to me and took out a box somewhat awkwardly.

Leonore was taken aback for a moment, and her thoughts instantly returned.

She saw Hamish take out a gold necklace from it and throw it into her arms like a piece of trash, saying, "It's just a broken silver necklace. Do you care so much? I bought you a new one, so don't wear that one anymore."

After speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing hesitantly. "Sarah was wrong about what happened today, but you shouldn't be like a fool and just go straight into the cage. Have you forgotten that you are most afraid of dogs?"

Leonore gave an emotionless smile.

He did not remember when he forced me into the dog cage, but now he remembered that I had a traumatic experience with dogs?

Who was he pretending to be so affectionate for?

Seeing her did not say anything, he thought she was still angry and unconsciously was about to lose his temper.

However, seeing the scars on her exposed arms, he could not help but soften his temper.

Even he himself did not expect that he would put the necklace on her himself, and he was very careful not to hurt her.

Looking at her slender white neck, which seemed to be easily broken, he inexplicably felt that his softest spot had been poked.

But before he could put the necklace on her neck, he suddenly heard a clear sound, followed by a slight numbness in his arm.

Leonore actually slapped his hand away and rejected his kindness?

She sat up straight, moved away from the man, and said in a distant tone, "I'm sorry, I don't like other people's things."

Her whole body was tense, giving off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".

He was taken aback for a moment, but later realized her disdain, and a look of shame and anger appeared on his face.

"Leonore, you're not going to stop even if I treat you well, right? Who are you pretending to be so hypocritical for?"

He was panicked for a moment. It was not like he had never quarreled with Leonore before, and it was not like he had never humiliated her before.

But all of that was to test whether Leonore truly loved him. Every time he softened, she would reconcile with him, gently lying on his chest and listening to the strong beating of his heart.

Why was the usual situation changing now?

The panic disappeared in an instant, and Hamish arbitrarily attributed it to her still playing a tantrum.

He had already humbled himself, so what else did she want?

Chapter 6

Hamish ignored Leonore’s struggle and forcefully put the gold necklace on her neck, not even caring about her being suffocated by his rough actions.

Watching her patting her chest and panting heavily, his heart was filled with a strange sense of satisfaction.

See, I said she was just throwing a tantrum, how could she not love me?

He was in a good mood, so he crossed his arms, which was unusual for him, and waited for Leonore to calm down. Then he slowly asked what the dish would be tonight.

She was afraid that his nutrition would not meet the needs of his heart, so she always cooked for him in various ways and even took the nutritionist certification exam, which made everyone envious.

But this time, Leonore, who had always been extremely attentive to him, said with a reddened nose and a flat tone that she had not prepared it yet.

Hamish was stunned. He did not expect to get this answer.

He craved the dishes Leonore’s cooked and even turned down Sarah's invitation to go to the bar for a drink, but Leonore said she had not prepared it yet?

There should be a limit to losing his temper!

"What do you mean? Leonore, if you don't want to live anymore, just say it! Let's break up!"

He showed his biggest trump card and looked at me leisurely.

Leonore seemed to have triggered a mechanism. She finally raised her head slowly and looked straight at him for the first time.

Yeah, it's not time yet, there's still one month left.

Only by confirming that her beloved heart was truly worry free could she leave without any worries.

She smiled mechanically, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't break up."

She did not give him any promise, just blurted out a few words dryly, because she knew they would not have a future.

He received her confession of guilt as he wished, and just as he was about to curl up his lips, his mobile phone rang.

He glanced at it and then turned on his hands-free device.

Sarah's crying voice came. "Hamish, please come and save me. I met a group of hooligans in the bar. They blocked me in the bathroom and I couldn't get out ... ah, don't come over here!"

There was a loud noise coming from the other end, as if something was hit.

"Hamish, I know Leonore may be jealous as usual. But can you come and save me? I really need you ...."

Leonore could not tell whether Sarah's tone was fake or not, she only saw Hamish's face change drastically.

He glared at her fiercely, put on his clothes, and left without hesitation.

"Sarah has been considering your feelings up to this point, yet you dare to give me a cold shoulder! Leonore, you really don't know what's good for you!"

Hamish slammed the door with a loud bang, making a deafening sound.

As he left, Leonore forcefully took off the expensive necklace and threw it into the trash can, then uncontrollably began to retch.

She was almost about to vomit bitter bile before she forced herself to stand up and suppressed the urge to vomit.

So disgusting.

Everything related to him made her feel disgusted.

The good thing was, it would soon be over.

For more than half a month after that, Hamish did not go home.

However, Sarah's social media continuously updates her daily life with Hamish.

Leonore heard that in order to save the girl, Hamish beat those thugs into the hospital, and finally paid a large sum of money to settle the matter privately.

However, she fell ill due to excessive fright and kept pestering him all day long.

At first, Leonore was a bit worried that she would not be able to see him in person and would not be able to observe his physical condition. Fortunately, Sarah's social media updates gave her full confidence.

Chapter 7

There were no signs of adverse reactions on his body, and in a few days, Leonore would be able to leave him.

Completely leave Benjamin's heart.

She listened to Nicole cursing Sarah for being full of pretensions and cunning, but there was not the slightest ripple in Leonore’s heart, she just looked over the cases.

Even though she stayed in this hospital because of Hamish, she had to be worthy of the white coat she was wearing and the trust of every patient and family member.

Everyone said the registration fees she offered was affordable and she was a humble and skillful doctor. They praised the hospital for having such a talented person like her worked here.

Only in front of Hamish would she lose her dignity and be degraded to nothing.

Now that there were still a few days to go before she left. She had already communicated with the hospital and cancelled the registration quota for the next few days.

Leonore could not delay other people's treatment, so all she could do now was treat every of her patient seriously.

Just when she thought that these days would pass so smoothly, she unexpectedly received a call from Sarah the day before I left.

Her voice was urgent. "Leonore, Hamish had an accident while swimming, please come and save him!"

Hearing he had an accident, Leonore’s heart sank unconsciously.

But then she thought of his teasing before and found it boring.

As if Sarah could see through her thoughts, her voice was filled with pleading.

"Leonore, I know it was my fault about what happened to you with Black Jack before, but this time it's true! Hamish hasn't come back since he went into the water, please come and see him!"

Leonore froze, but still chose to anxiously pick up the car keys.

When Leonore rushed all the way to the outskirts, Sarah was standing by the river with a group of people, anxiously stepping back and forth but at a loss as to what to do.

Seeing Leonore come, her face revealed hope. Sarah grabbed her hand and begged her to go down to look for Hamish.

Leonore was an excellent swimmer. She did not delve into why Sarah did not call for rescue hotline. She hurriedly took off her coat and jumped in.

It was because Leonore saw his watch in the turbulent river mouth.

The watch was given to him by Sarah, and Hamish liked it so much that it never left his body.

Now it had been washed to the river mouth, there was only one possibility ....

She did not dare to think about it and searched for him anxiously.

The river was turbulent, causing her, who was already weak and frail, to sway in all directions. She did not even have time to take a good breath and plunged into the bottom of the river again.

Her beloved's heart was on him, nothing could happen to him!

Hamish must carry the hope of Benjamin and Leonore and live well!

Now autumn had arrived and the river had turned icy cold.

Leonore’s hair was disheveled and stuck to her face that she could not even open her eyes. She looked so miserable, but she still took a deep breath and jumped back into the water.

He could not die. Hamish could not die!

He was lucky enough to get her beloved's heart, how could he die so irresponsibly!

She would never allow Benjamin's heart to be wasted by him!

But as time passed bit by bit, she only felt that her physical strength was gradually failing, and the hope in her heart was gradually becoming faint.

Despair slowly grew in her heart and gradually spread throughout her body.

Hamish was death, and Benjamin's heart was gone.

Leonore failed to fulfill Benjamin's last wish.

She had nothing left ....

She clenched her fists tightly, trying hard to calm down, but finally let out a desperate roar.

Tears flowed down her face.

In that moment, Leonore did want to stay in the river forever.

But in the next moment, she heard the sudden burst of laughter on the river bank.
