Fleeing the Gilded Cage: Don’t Want to be the Billionaire’s Wife Chapter 118
Chapter 118: Benjamin’s Change
Recently, Martina had been to the hospital more frequently than before, and her body had become much weaker.
Benjamin had the doctor conduct a thorough examination, and fortunately, her health was still alright, with no lasting effects. As
long as she took better care of herself in the future and had a better mood, there wouldn’t be any problems.
After being discharged from the hospital, Benjamin originally intended to take Martina home. However, Martina glanced at the
time and realized that although she was running a bit late for the studio, it wasn’t excessively late.
She couldn’t just laze around all the time, so she decided to let Benjamin drop her off at the studio.
At first, Benjamin disagreed, concerned that Martina’s body hadn’t fully recovered yet.
He thought that going to work might further weaken her. But Martina took the initiative and used the doctor’s words to convince
him. In reality, she simply didn’t want to stay at Benjamin’s home.
“The doctor said that if I want to recover quickly, having a good mood is the best choice, right? I don’t want to stay cooped up at
home every day, feeling like a prisoner. Just drop me off at the studio. After all, I’m an adult, and I understand my own body. I’ll
be fine.”
Whether it was because Martina’s words pleased Benjamin or for some other reason, this time Benjamin finally didn’t refuse. He
instructed Simon to turn the car around and brought Martina to the building where her studio was located.
As Martina got out of the car, she heard Benjamin roll down the window and give her some instructions. “I’ll pick you up tonight.”
To be honest, Martina wasn’t used to someone like Benjamin, who was so busy, making the effort to come and pick her up. But
recently, she had seen too many behaviors from him that didn’t match his usual self, so she didn’t say
After getting off the car, Martina went straight to the elevator of her studio, her eyes seemed a bit unsettled.
yining and agreed this time. “Okay.”.

Inside the studio, Elena had already arrived early and was preparing to start her work. But as soon as she saw Martina, she
pushed everything else aside.
She clung to Martina, as if they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, even though it had only been one night. Seeing Martina
standing unharmed in front of her today, she couldn’t contain her excitement.
Initially, Elena thought that after what happened yesterday, with Benjamin’s paranoia, he might choose to prevent Martina from
coming to the studio. She had already prepared herself to call Martina later to find out the situation, but unexpectedly, Martina
arrived.
Elena was extremely excited in her heart, showering Martina with kisses and hugs, and conducting various inspections. It made
Martina feel a bit embarrassed, and in the end, she could only pretend to be angry and push Elena away.
“Well, I said I’m fine. Yesterday was just a minor accident. You don’t have to be so worried,” Martina said, trying to reassure
Elena.
But even with Martina’s words, Elena still worried. “How can you call it a minor accident? Yesterday, my brother already told me
the investigation results.”
Martina blinked her eyes. “What did your brother tell you?”
Clutching her fist tightly, Elena replied, “He told me how that idiot Rick Timber treated you and how he was manipulated by
someone. It’s scary to think about it. How can a man. easily be manipulated by a woman? But Rick Timber wasn’t a good person
to begin with. I think he deserved it. Last night, he was taken away by Benjamin’s people!”
Martina’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. If she guessed correctly, Benjamin would definitely not let Rick off easily.
But Benjamin’s recent behavior had been really strange, which was truly puzzling. If it wasn’t merely due to dissatisfaction or any
other reason unrelated to love, why would Benjamin act this way? Would it truly bring any benefits to himself?
Benjamin was a businessman who liked to approach everything and everyone from a business perspective. Martina had already
become accustomed to this way of interacting, but now Benjamin suddenly changed.
Listening to Elena’s constant chatter, Martina fell into contemplation. Later, it was Elena’s persistent waving in front of her that
finally snapped her out of her thoughts.
“Martina, what are you thinking? Did you go to the hospital for a check–up yesterday?

Everything is fine, right? Let me tell you, you really scared me. I was so afraid that we wouldn’t see each other today!” Elena
inquired with concern.
Martina finally came back to her senses and shook her head. “I’m fine, just a bit startled.”
She didn’t inform Elena about being drugged, fearing that it would only cause her friend more worry.
Just as Elena breathed a sigh of relief, Martina took the initiative to ask, “Actually.... there’s something I’ve been unable to figure
out.” .com fast update
Elena paused for a moment, tilting her head and inquiring, “What are you referring to?”
Martina rested her chin on her hands, and her gaze seemed somewhat unusual. Her eyes were fixed on Elena, as if that was the
only way to keep her thoughts stable. “I just don’t understand why Benjamin is treating me like this.”
Elena instantly became interested. “How is Benjamin treating you? Is he playing some kind of binding play with you again? Or
did he take advantage of your vulnerable state? Let me tell you, if the current Benjamin dares to do that, you should just hit him.”
It was unclear what kind of thought process Elena had, as to how she immediately came up with these random things??
Martina smiled, “No, it’s not that. What I wanted to say is not about those things. I just feel that Benjamin has been really strange
lately.”
Elena was puzzled.
“Why does he keep crossing his own boundaries time and time again, and even get angry several times for my sake?” Martina
continued after a short pause.
As Elena brought up this topic, she also thought of some strange occurrences, such as the last time they had dinner together,
which had never happened before.
She certainly didn’t believe that this precedent was due to her own identity. On the contrary, she was well aware that it was likely
to happen because of Martina.
Now that even Martina was saying it, it made Elena think of more and more peculiar things.

“Now that you mention it, I’ve noticed it too,” Elena said. “Oh, by the way, Martina, I have a small piece of insider information I
want to tell you, but after I tell you, please don’t get too excited.”
“Alright, just tell me straight, I won’t get excited.” Martina nodded, her gaze shifting to the window, and it was unclear what was in
her mind.
