Chapter 69 Make a Compromise Because of You
Emery kept screaming.
Emery was wild with joy and rubbed her hands. She asked carefully, "Mr. Shaffer, can I shake your hand?"
Bennett said nothing.
Bennett wanted to refuse.
Bennett glanced at Catalina coldly, as if to let her solve it.
Catalina knew that Bennett was a clean freak, but she really didn't want to hurt Emery because Emery was so enthusiastic. When Catalina was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, she suddenly saw Bennett take his right hand out of his pocket and reluctantly reached out to Emery.
Emery screamed again.
She quickly wiped her hands back and forth on her clothes and then cautiously and excitedly shook hands with Bennett.
Emery thought, "Dear me!"
"I'm actually shaking my idol's hand!"
"It's amazing!"
"I'm gonna never wash my hands for the rest of my life."
Catalina was stunned on the spot.
It was hard for Catalina to believe that Bennett actually met Emery's request.
Catalina didn't understand until she saw Bennett's chilly gaze.
Bennett's gaze clearly showed that he put it on Catalina.
Catalina thought, "So, he made a compromise because of me."
"It's impossible!"
Catalina scrunched her nose.
Catalina continued to think, "Maybe he took the initiative to stretch out his hand just because Emery is beautiful."
A few seconds later, Bennett forcefully pulled his hand back from Emery's palm. He quickly wiped his hand with a tissue and sprayed disinfectant. Then Bennett finally felt comfortable.
"Take it easy. He is a severe clean freak. He shakes hands with anyone like this."
Catalina was afraid that Emery would be sad, so she quickly comforted Emery.
"I see."
Emery said adoringly, "I know everything about my husband... No, it's your husband. I know everything about your husband. I'm so excited! Lina, you're so lucky. You're my idol's wife, which really makes me jealous!"
Catalina was speechless.
Catalina thought, "What the hell!"
"It's so embarrassing now!"
Soon, Darnell came with several doctors.
Catalina felt that she just had a minor injury and Bennett made a big thing of it, and she thought it was unnecessary to let so many doctors come to check on her. However, looking at Bennett's solemn face, Catalina didn't dare to say no, so she had to sit obediently on the chair and let the doctor disassemble the medical gauze for her to check the injury.
Bennett stood aside, frowning and looking at Catalina's injured arm.
He didn't relax his brow until he saw that Catalina's arm reduced the swelling.
Bennett took a step to go out for some fresh air.
"Bennett."
Catalina hurriedly stopped Bennett.
Bennett turned his head in confusion.
"Since you are here to provide medical assistance, I will let the villagers come to see a doctor tomorrow!"
Darnell was at a loss for words.
Doctors were all confused.
They thought, "Why don't we know we came here to provide medical assistance?"
"We're world-class famous doctors hired by Mr. Shaffer at a daily price."
Bennett looked back at Catalina, who had a naive look on her face.
Catalina was blinking her pretty eyes, looking at Bennett expectantly.
Bennett originally wanted to refuse, but he said, "As you like!"
After speaking, Bennett left without looking back.
Catalina was happy. She hurriedly thanked the doctors who came to provide medical assistance and then looked at Darnell. "I can't believe that you're so kind. I used to despise you, and I will respect you like everyone else in the future."
Darnell coughed a few times.
Catalina's sudden changes and compliments made Darnell a little embarrassed, but Darnell quickly calmed down.
Soon, Darnell became arrogant as usual. He crossed his arms over his chest and said with a smile, "Well done!"
"Lina, Lina"
When Catalina entered the room, she was pulled to the bed by Emery.
"Why?"
"Look! I'm gonna tear up all these photos!"
As Emery said this, she tore the photos of Bennett and Claire to pieces and threw them into the trash can.
"It's okay. I don't care about it."
"Drop the act! Let me tell you. From now on, I will support you and Bennett firmly. I just took a lot of photos of you two. Look!"
"What?"
"This is a photo of you taking the medicine. Look at the way Bennett looked at you. His eyes were so soulful!"
"Nonsense."
Catalina didn't think so.
Bennett was cold and indifferent with a poker face.
"I found that you are really good at visualizing."
"I'm not. What I said is true. I saw his eyes, and Bennett must like you very much!"
"Are you crazy? You said he likes me so much, right?"
Catalina was amused by Emery's crazy words and continued, "All right, stop visualizing. We're not a normal couple, and it's just a sham marriage. He married me not because of love but because of Claire. Actually, it is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. In short, Claire and he are a real couple. You were right before. As for us... We have long been destined to have no relationship. Besides, even if there's doomsday, Bennett will never like me."
"You're so exaggerated! He clearly likes you because I saw his soulful eyes!"
Emery was confused.
She wondered if she got it wrong.
Emery thought, "It's impossible!"
"The eyes can never tell a lie."
"I'm gonna go out to wash my face! Hurry up and put away your scrapbook! Otherwise, Bennett will laugh at you if he sees it."
"No!"
Emery held her scrapbook in her arms as if it was a treasure.
Catalina shook her head without saying anything and left the room holding her washbasin and towel.
It was already dark outside.
Catalina thought, "Where will Bennett live tonight? I heard that they also brought a big tent. They'll probably live in it, but can he get used to it?"
"After all, this is a mountain area, and there are many mosquitoes and bugs. Bennett is a clean freak. Asking him to stay in such a place for a few days is tantamount to torture for him!" While thinking, Catalina held the basin and walked to the water pump.
Catalina put the basin on the ground and pressed the water pump hard with her uninjured left hand.
However, it was strenuous for Catalina to press the water pump because it was seriously aging and her right arm was injured. After half a minute, nothing came out of the water pump. Catalina was about to go back to the room and ask for Emery's help.
Unexpectedly, when Catalina got up, a powerful arm suddenly appeared from behind. The person held the pump and pressed it down hard, and the water came out. Within a few seconds, Catalina's basin was filled with water.
Catalina turned around and thanked the person.
But when Catalina saw the person, she was stunned.
Bennett put his hand into his pocket. He stood upright in the night like a pine.
It was dark and cool outside. The moonlight streamed on Bennett's shoulders, which made him look stronger, cooler, and more elegant.
There was no expression on Bennett's cold face.
