Chapter 23
Susan wanted to have a talk after returning to her room.
Ben glanced at her and said, “No need to thank me.”
Susan blinked and said in a gentle manner, “Fine. Since we got married, there’s no need to say thank you.”
Ben Landor, “…??”
Was that what he meant?
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath, “Susan, I remember I have told
you…”
“I remember. You can’t show me your love, and we can only be nominal ⚫ couples.” Susan interrupted quickly.
Ben said, “Yes. I helped you today because…”
“Because I’m Mrs. Landor, and you don’t want me to embarrass you.” Susan thoughtfully continued.
Ben was speechless again.
Susan had said everything he wanted to say. What else could he
say
next?
Ben looked at Susan.
Susan looked innocent.
After a long time, Ben said fiercely, “It’s good that you know!”
Susan was not sad at all. She just looked at Ben gratefully. “Anyway, if it weren’t you today, I would definitely have been forced to give a blood transfusion. Ben, I still want to say thank you.”
Ben frowned and suddenly said in a horrible tone, “Ben?”
Susan was nervous, “Is there anything wrong with this title?”
Ben stared at her.
An hour ago, this woman sweetly called him honey.
But now she called him Ben again!
Why did he feel uncomfortable?
But he could never express his feelings.
Ben remained indifferent, “Nothing wrong.”
It was obvious that he was angry. Susan was confused and she didn’t.

know what had she done wrong.
Looking at the innocent look on her face, Ben snorted. “I have to deal with the business. Go and handle yours affairs.”
Then he turned on his laptop and started working.
Susan didn’t dare to disturb him, so she just sat obediently near him.
She wanted to read a book at first, but at that moment, she was somehow a little uneasy and couldn’t read anything at all.
Susan simply put the book aside, and then she looked at the ceiling in a daze.
Ben suddenly spoke after a long period of silence.
“Yana will be fine. Carl has contacted the blood donor. He offered 150 thousand dollars, so the donor agreed to rush to the hospital.”
Huh?
Susan came to her senses and looked at Ben in dismay.
How did he know that she was thinking about that?
Although she knew that Yana did it on purpose, her disease was real. If she didn’t get a timely blood transfusion, she would really die.
Therefore, Susan was cruel when she said the words, but after all, she was her sister, and she still couldn’t let her die.
She didn’t say what she was worried about. Unexpectedly, Ben took the initiative to tell her.
“Your mind could be read because of your looks.” Ben mocked, “You’re still worried about her after being treated so badly. You deserve to have been a blood transfusion tool for so many years.”
After watching the scene of the Miller family and searching for the information, Ben had already figured out the situation.
Yana needed to be transfused timely so as to treat her disease.
For so many years before. it must be Susan who gave the transfusion. Otherwise, Yana wouldn’t have taken it for granted when she asked Susan for blood.
Therefore, the chicken soup that Susan drank was always added with medicine. After coming to the Landor’s family, she hated palms so much. Because she must keep eating these things in order to recover quickly
after the transfusion at the Miller residence. She was already tired of

those things.
Susan pursed her lips and kept silent.
Noticing her closed eyes, Ben regretted saying such harsh words.
But he was too awkward to apologize.
Ben looked at Susan’s black hair in a daze.
She was really a troublesome creature, tender, kind, and very fragile.
Never mind. He should be more gentle.
Ben became kinder but he still sounded awkward.
He said, “Well, forget it. I will protect you. In the future, you will never be forced to give even a single drop of blood.”
Susan raised her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling, as if they were filled with all the stars and the moon.
She didn’t say anything, just replying with a nod.
Ben suddenly felt so comfortable.
After that day, Ben who had been at odds and reluctant to go home, began to go home every day.
Susan was also surprised to find that the meals at the Landor residence become much more abundant.
Moreover, Ben began to enjoy cooking delicious food for her.
The dishes were so delicious that although she wanted to control her diet, she always ate a lot without realizing it.
For just a week, Susan began to worry a little when she looked at herself in the mirror.
Was her face rounder?
She was still very thin now. But if it went on like that, she might become fat quickly.
She had to control her diet.
Susan made up her mind and ran into Charlie downstairs.
Grandpa said with a smile, “Susan, the boss of Aroma Restaurant invited me to try the new dishes today, but I don’t want to go. You can try it with Ben at noon.”
Aroma Restaurant.
Susan was cheerful.
This was one of the most famous high–end restaurants in Coraland. Every time Aroma Restaurant launched a new dish, the foodies from all over the country would pay a thousand dollars for only one invitation. Carl often took Yana there for a dinner. Every time they came back, Yana would tell her very carefully how exquisite and delicious the dishes in Aroma Restaurant were.
But Susan, in order to guarantee her blood volume, had to eat the food decided strictly every day. Therefore, she had never had a chance to enjoy the food in Aroma Restaurant.
Now that Susan was free from the shackles of blood transfusion, as soon as she heard the name of the restaurant, she yearned for it.
Charlie looked at her with a smile, “Go ahead, I’ll have the driver take you there, and Ben will come over later.”
Susan responded, holding the invitation card, and she went out happily When the car started, she couldn’t help but slap her head.
What about the diet?
If she went to a place like Aroma Restaurant, how could she control the diet?
Susan struggled for a while, but soon she comforted herself.
Forget it. She would start the diet tomorrow.
The second floor of Aroma Restaurant was closed to the public today.
The invited guests were either famous foodies or business tycoons. When Susan entered, she even saw several famous stars.
The server respectfully led Susan to her seat.
Not long after she sat down, she looked up and found two acquaintances sitting at the next table.
Susan was speechless,
It was really a small world,
Wasn’t she too unlucky?
Susan wanted to stand up and leave, but she was a little unwilling when thinking about the delicious food.
Moreover, she had never done anything wrong. Even if there was a person needed to leave, it would not be her.
Thinking of that, Susan calmed down
