After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife - Chapter 184
#183 “He Deserves to Know the Truth.”
In a whirlwind of panic and adrenaline, Alexander and Sophia bundled Ben into the car and raced to the hospital, their hearts
pounding with fear and worry. The drive felt like an eternity, each passing moment filled with anxious anticipation as they prayed
for Ben’s safety.
Upon arrival, they burst through the hospital doors, their faces etched with concern as they pleaded for help. Nurses and doctors
sprang into action, wheeling Ben away on a stretcher as they assessed his injuries.
Sophia’s hands trembled as she signed the necessary paperwork, her mind a jumble of frantic thoughts. She couldn’t bear the
thought of losing Ben, he was her childhood friend.
As they waited for news on Ben’s condition, time seemed to stretch on endlessly. Alexander paced the sterile corridors, his
footsteps echoing in the empty hallways as he struggled to contain his anxiety. Alexander might not have liked Benjamin, but he
would never want anything bad to happen to him.
Finally, a doctor emerged from the operating room with an update — Ben’s injuries were serious, but thankfully not life-
threatening. Sophia breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders slumping with exhaustion and relief.
With Ben stable for the time being, Sophia made the decision to stay by his side until he regained his strength. Alexander offered
his support, knowing that Sophia needed him now more than ever.
As they settled into the uncomfortable hospital chairs, Alexander thought it was time to tell Sophia the truth about Benjamin.
“Sophia, there’s something | need to tell you,” he began, his voice hesitant as he braced himself for her reaction.
Sophia turned to him, her brow furrowed in confusion. “What is it, Alex? You look so serious,” she said, her voice tinged with
concern.
Taking a deep breath, Alexander plunged ahead, his words tumbling out in a rush. “Sophia, Ben… he’s not just your childhood
friend. He’s your half- brother.”
Sophia’s eyes widened in shock, her mind reeling with disbelief at Alexander’s revelation. “What?” she gasped, her voice barely
above a whisper. “How is that possible?”
Alexander hesitated, his heart heavy with the weight of the truth he was about to reveal. “Your father… and Ben’s mother,” he
explained, his voice faltering as he struggled to find the right words.
Sophia’s hand flew to her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears as the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. “Oh my God,” she
whispered, her voice choked with emotion. “I had no idea. Who told you that?”
“It was my mother,” Alexander admitted, his tone tinged with regret. ” She confided in me before everything unfolded.”
Sophia’s eyes widened in shock, her mind reeling with the revelation. “Your mother?” she repeated, her voice barely a whisper.
“But why would she keep it a secret for so long?”
Alexander’s gaze softened with understanding as he considered Sophia’s question. “I think she wanted to shield us from the pain
and turmoil that revealing such a truth might cause, “he explained, his voice gentle as he reached for Sophia’s hand. “Perhaps
she hoped that by keeping it hidden, she could protect our families from further harm.”
Sophia’s brows furrowed with concern, her heart heavy with the weight of the revelation. “But keeping something like this a
secret… it only breeds more pain and confusion,” she murmured, her voice tinged with sadness. “I wish she had trusted us
enough to tell us sooner.”
Alexander squeezed her hand reassuringly, offering her a small smile of comfort. “I know, Sophia. But she did what she thought
was best at the time,” he said softly, his tone filled with understanding.
“Sophia, | think we need to tell Ben the truth,” he suggested, his tone gentle but firm.
Sophia shook her head, her eyes clouded with worry. “No, Alex, we can’t, ” she said, her voice trembling with uncertainty. “Not
now, not while he’s still recovering. It would be too much for him to handle.”novelbin
Alexander sighed, knowing she was right. “Okay, we’ll wait,” he agreed, his voice tinged with resignation. “But we can’t keep this
from him forever, Sophia. He deserves to know the truth.”
Sophia nodded, her shoulders sagging with the weight of their secret. “I know, ” she whispered, her voice barely audible above
the hum of the hospital machinery. “But for now, let’s focus on helping him get better.”
“Okay, Sophia,” Alexander said. “I think we should go home and get some sleep.”
“But what if Benjamin wakes up?” Sophia asked, her brows furrowing with worry.
“I’ll call someone to take care of him.
