I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 242 Is She Okay?

"Where is she?" Harper's reaction was palpable, her grip on Benjamin's arm tightening as she spoke, "Is she... Okay?" Her voice wavered, laden with concern. She almost cried when she asked the question.

Benjamin replied in a subdued tone, "She's at a small hotel. I've informed Larry. We should get there before him, right?"

Harper nodded eagerly, ready to rush out with Benjamin immediately. Benjamin halted her, "Wear a coat, it is cold outside."

Though Harper frowned, she refrained from protesting, ultimately complying with his request.

Minutes later, they were en route to the small hotel. Benjamin drove with speed but caution, ensuring safety.

Upon arrival, Harper hastily unbuckled her seatbelt and dashed out of the car.

Curtis had been awaiting their arrival, and upon seeing Harper, he hurriedly approached, "Ms. Martin..."

"Where is she? Take me to see her," Harper asked urgently.

Curtis glanced at Benjamin before nodding, leading Harper inside the hotel to the second floor.

"The room door is unlocked. Ms. Jones is inside, having some soup. Please go in," Curtis informed Harper before she swiftly entered the room. Annie was seated, sipping soup. As Harper entered, Annie looked up at her, her eyes filled with tears.

"Annie, how are you?" Harper's tone softened as she approached, her gaze assessing Annie's condition. Annie looked right but was still tired and pale. Harper asked her with tears in her eyes, "What happened to you? Why didn't come to me for help?"

Harper seemed to catch a cold with a hoarse voice.

Annie, clad in plain attire, explained, "I got caught in the rain and developed a fever. I've been resting here for the past two days. I wanted to reach out to you. But I was afraid that tarry would contact you and make a scene. I planned to wait until I felt better before contacting you."

Annie embraced Harper, and her voice was heavy with emotion. "I am sorry that I made you worried."

Harper sniffed and held back her tears eventually. She checked again and made sure Annie was safe and healthy.

Annie reassured her, "I'm fine."

Harper's tone turned serious as she admonished, "The driver who picked up you was arrested as well. You were lucky this time, but don't put yourself in danger again. Promise me."

Annie was afraid as well as she heard something about the driver from Curtis. But she was worried that Larry may find her the most. So she didn't call the police or ask for help that night.

Annie nodded earnestly, promising to be more cautious in the future. Then she asked, "Did Anderson contact you before?"

"Yes, it happened once and he wasn't suspicious. No worry."

Their conversation was interrupted by a knock at the door, followed by Curtis' voice, "Mr. Martin, Mr. Ellison is here and wishes to see Ms. Jones."
