Was that it? No… I didn't even know about Chloe when he visited London.
"You have no idea what you're saying," I rolled my eyes. "And don't call Sophia, our daughter. She's just mine."
"No matter what you try to say to convince yourself, the fact remains that she was also my daughter," he sighed as he squeezed the toy. "I'm trying to fix things between us, and you're busy frolicking around with some guy who just wants a convenient baby sitter for his half orphan daughter."
"I'm not a convenient baby sitter," I frowned. "Ben doesn't even think of me like that."
"That's the thing. You always doubt, even when the truth is staring right at you in the face," he sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Let me guess, you think he's in love with you."
"I… he is," I replied.
"Has he said it?" he asked. "Or has he spent most of his time telling you how much of a help you've been in taking care of his daughter?"
Ben had never said it… his actions were enough. But, he did always focus on how I took care of Chloe.
No, Olivia…. Don't let him dissuade you.
"I can see the doubt in your eyes," he said. "Does he know about your bad luck? Let me guess after you told him, he gave you some words of encouragement and said he'd take your bad luck. Classic thing any man would say to keep you tied to them."
"Shut up! Ben isn't like that.. he isn't like…"
"Me?" He raised a brow. "I don't know if that's a good thing or not. But I just want to talk to you. My place isn't so far from here. We can talk and if you still can't forgive me, then we can part ways."
There was no way he'd stop at just talking.
"Just so you know, if you refuse, I know where your new Sophia learns," he threatened.
I turned around and attempted to leave but he held my hand, "Where are you going? Just wait."
"Jason, let go!" I screamed, but he continued to struggle with me.
He pulled me close to himself and made an attempt to kiss me, but I hit his mouth.
"Ah!" He let go of me and the teddy, holding his mouth in pain.
I picked up the teddy and wanted to run, but he grabbed me by the collar and pulled me back. He hit me so hard that I stumbled and hit the right side of my temple against the tree, slumping instantly.
I felt so cold, unable to move.
"Olivia? Olivia? Oh my God, I didn't mean to," Jason tried shaking me, but my eyes were closing.
I'm sorry Ben. I know you said that you'd help me get rid of all this bad luck, but I don't think it's ever going to leave.
I blacked out.

The Emergency Situation
Ben
"No more!" I groaned as I stretched my body.
I looked around, and everyone seemed exhausted as well.
"Why did I have to help with your work anyway?" Ethan frowned as he took a seat in the waiting area.
I sat next to him and watch patients enter and exit. The day was extremely busy, as we had an influx of patients requiring emergency attention.
