Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop

Chapter 129

Catalina threw out several questions in a row.

"Come in and let's talk. I will explain the whole situation to you clearly."

Upon hearing this, Catalina hesitated and carried her luggage, following Ralph into the villa.

As soon as they entered, Catalina felt a strange atmosphere.

The air was filled with a strong smell of disinfectant, overpowering the fragrance of the sophora flowers.

The initially transparent glass windows had been activated with the privacy function, allowing only

people inside to see outside, while those outside remained unaware of the inside.

Catalina also noticed disinfectant bottles placed in various corners of the hall.

This...

Catalina looked at Ralph in confusion.

If Ralph was here, then... where was Bennett?

Where was he?

"Mrs. Shaffer, please have a seat."

Ralph leaned on his cane, gesturing for Catalina to sit down.

Then, he instructed someone to bring a bottle of disinfectant, handing it to Catalina, "I'm sorry, it's part

of the procedure."

Although Catalina didn't understand the meaning behind this, she followed Ralph's instructions and

disinfected her hands with the sanitizer. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Weren't you wondering why it was my people who picked you up from the airport?"

Ralph sat down on the sofa facing Catalina, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Shaffer, but I arranged your entire trip, and

the interview was just a cover-up."

"Why?" Catalina asked, surprised.

She frowned.

"Because of Mr. Shaffer."

"..."

Bennett?

"What exactly are you planning to do?"

Ralph sighed heavily and pointed towards the direction of the bedroom, "Mr. Shaffer is critically injured

and needs someone to take care of him. But he doesn't accept anyone's help, so..."

"Critically injured?!"

Catalina suddenly stood up from the sofa.

Her face turned pale instantly, "What do you mean by critically injured? How bad are his injuries? Is he

in the room?"

Catalina threw out several questions in a row and hurriedly headed towards the room.

"Mrs. Shaffer, I'm sorry, please wait."

Catalina had only taken a few steps when a man in black stopped her.

She turned back, looking at Ralph with a puzzled and slightly annoyed expression, "Let me see him

first."

"You have to put on a sterile suit first."

"What's wrong with him?"

As soon as she heard this, Catalina's eyes turned red with anxiety. She hurriedly asked, "Where is the

sterile suit? I'll change into it right away."

"Take Mrs. Shaffer to conduct the disinfection."

Ralph instructed the servant.

"Yes."

Catalina followed the servant in a hurry.

She was led into a professional disinfection room, where there was a large sterilization device that was

very professional and advanced.

It took Catalina about fifteen minutes to complete the disinfection process and put on a sterile suit. Only

then did she follow Ralph, who had already changed into a sterile suit, and pushed open the door to

Bennett's bedroom.

As soon as she entered the room, Catalina was shocked.

On the bed, Bennett's face was pale, lying there silently as if there were no signs of life.

His head and chest were wrapped in gauze.

The gauze was stained with blood.

As for other parts, they were covered by the bedding so that Catalina couldn't see the specific situation.

His handsome face was pale.

Even his thin lips lacked any trace of color.

The once spirited and imposing Bennett now lay on the bed, devoid of vitality.

Tears welled up in Catalina's eyes involuntarily.

"What on earth happened? How did he get injured? And it's so serious."

Catalina's voice choked with emotion.

Ralph sighed, "In fact, Mr. Shaffer has experienced bloody situations since he was a child. This time,

he developed a fear of blood. He is the heir of Shaffer Group and many people have set their sights on

him. Although these foreign forces have been pacified to some extent in recent years, we have become

complacent because they have not caused any trouble for a long time. We never expected that they

would come back after several years."

It turned out that Bennett's fear of blood was due to childhood trauma.

Catalina looked at the horrifying wounds on his body and felt heartbroken.

"Where do these forces come from and what are their goals? Have you figured it out? Who knows if

they will come again? And why didn't you send Bennett to the hospital instead of keeping him here?"

"We will find out eventually, but the most urgent matter is Mr. Shaffer's health. We can't send him to the

hospital because his condition cannot be made public, as it might cause instability in the company.

Besides, this place is safer and more discreet than a hospital. You don't have to worry, Mrs. Shaffer.

Apart from security, all the walls, including the glass, are bulletproof, so it's not easy for anyone to

break in. As for medical conditions, as you just saw, we have the most professional doctors in the world

and the most advanced equipment. So there's no need to worry about that."

That makes sense.

She doesn't need to worry about it.

Ralph will take care of Bennett properly.

"So you brought me here... to take care of him?"

"Yes."

Ralph nodded and gestured to Catalina to follow him, saying, "Let's go out and talk. Let Mr. Shaffer

rest."

"Okay."

Catalina followed Ralph out of the ward.

At the moment the door closed, she couldn't help but turn around to look at the man on the bed.

He would be fine.

She told herself in her heart.

After all, there were the most professional doctors here, and they won't allow anything to happen to

Bennett.

They left the bedroom, removed their sterile suits, and put them in the recycling bin.

"You also know what kind of person Mr. Shaffer is. Now that he is seriously injured and lying in bed, it's

inconvenient for others to care for him, even if it's just helping him clean his body..."

Ralph shook his head. "He doesn't want anyone to touch him, regardless of gender.

Catalina frowned, feeling speechless and a little distressed. "He's already injured like this, and he's still

so stubborn?"

"Yes. He's an unruly child."

Ralph sighed and continued, "I have no choice but to think of you. If you're willing, you can stay here. If

you don't want to... I'll book a flight ticket to send you back to Sayton. But everything you see here must

be kept confidential."

Catalina pressed her lips tightly as if seriously considering this matter.

Then she asked Ralph, "Ralph, why do you think Bennett would be willing to accept my care?"

"I don't know. I just feel that you can win him over."

Ralph didn't say it directly.

Catalina let out a long sigh.

She was very conflicted.

She had agreed to stay away from this man, to forget about him, and to treat Warren Shaffer

wholeheartedly. But now...

Once she agreed, she would be with this man day and night in the following days.

It would be difficult for her to remain steadfast after she finally decided, right?

Seeing Catalina's dilemma, Ralph sighed again. "It's okay, Mrs. Shaffer. If you find it difficult, you don't

have to agree. I won't force you. As for Mr. Shaffer..."

"...I agree."

"Huh?"
