Benjamin Shaw’s attitude made Christopher Turner feel very unusual. Benjamin Shaw had always been dismissive towards him, but today he not only spoke to him but also took the things Christopher was carrying.

For the past six months, he had only seen a son-in-law indifferent to him, indifferent to the point of pretending not to see him even when he did.

"These are prepared by Alice’s mother. She said you were injured and hospitalized because of Alice, and she feels very sorry about it, so she sent me to express an apology on behalf of our family." Christopher Turner didn’t dwell much on Benjamin Shaw’s sudden change; he handed the items to Benjamin Shaw, letting him deal with them as he wished.

Benjamin Shaw casually placed the items on the bedside cabinet. As he did so, he didn’t forget to respond to Christopher Turner, "Last night’s incident can’t be entirely blamed on her; it was my fault first."

He blurted out these words as if they had been waiting on the tip of his tongue, effortlessly spoken.

"... It’s not your fault; if anyone’s to blame, it’s that girl’s impulsiveness." Christopher Turner didn’t expect Benjamin Shaw to admit his fault first, and was momentarily stunned before responding.

Regardless of whether the other’s words were sincere, he felt obliged to say so. After all, it was his daughter who caused the hospitalization, and they are inevitably bound to meet as in-laws, so he couldn’t afford to strain their relationship.

Benjamin Shaw only gave a slight pull of the corners of his lips and avoided further discussion on last night’s rights and wrongs with Christopher Turner. He gestured to the bedside and suggested, "Please, have a seat."

Previously, he found this man extremely annoying, but today this man seemed not so irritating, even quite agreeable.

"Thank you."

Perhaps it was a habit formed over the past six months, as Christopher Turner always remained courteous with Benjamin Shaw. They didn’t seem like people who once had an in-law relationship, more like strangers who had just met.

After thanking, he sat down by the bedside. Once seated, he suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Although Benjamin Shaw was the Turner family’s son-in-law, he was quite unfamiliar with the Turner family. In the past six months, he could count the number of times he went to the Turner family on one hand.

Due to unfamiliarity, at this moment, he also didn’t know what to say to the person who just sat down.

Both men didn’t know what to say, and the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became awkward, leaving them both feeling uneasy.

Squeak!

At this moment, there was the sound of a door opening from the entrance.

Upon hearing the door opening, the two uneasy men reacted as if they heard something wonderful, turning to look at the entrance.

Seeing who walked in, Benjamin Shaw’s eyebrows knitted together, "Why are you here?"

Seeing Sophie Snow suddenly appearing in the ward, Benjamin Shaw was genuinely surprised and puzzled. How did she find out about his hospitalization? He hadn’t called her.

"I heard you were injured and hospitalized, so I came to check on you." Sophie Snow closed the door and walked toward Benjamin Shaw, who was sitting on the bed. As she approached, she saw Christopher Turner sitting with Benjamin Shaw.

She didn’t know Christopher Turner, but a quick assessment led her to mistakenly assume he was Benjamin Shaw’s father, so she quickly smiled and greeted, "Hello, Uncle!"
