A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 976 The Gut Feeling

"Food stalls?" Rae was a bit stunned.

"You think it isn't good?"

"No! No!" Rae hurriedly shook her head, "I just think that you don't seem to be the kind of person who is willing to eat at food stalls!"

"Oh?" Benjamin raised his eyebrows while smiling, "Do I look like an unusual person?"

"You're a person who is exquisite in all aspects so I can't tell!" Rae said bluntly.

Benjamin, however, smiled faintly. His eyes that were staring at the front flashed with complexity. He swerved the car and said to Rae, "Someone is following us at the back!"

Rae did not find someone following them but Benjamin found it quickly. Rae's first reaction was that perhaps it was a colleague of her police force. She was also somewhat muttering in her mind as she was afraid that her colleague would saw her be with Benjamin and then thought she tipped off. However, she actually did not have that intention.

Therefore, Rae immediately calmed down after being torn for a while, "Where?"

Benjamin turned his head to glance at her and said meaningfully, "I thought I had met two teams of people who followed me today but I didn't expect that I misunderstood you! I didn't see the one at the back wrongly, my gut feeling is very keen!"

Rae thought inwardly that he really had a keen gut feeling. She indeed followed him and as she was found out, she pretended that she was buying a gift.

Benjamin looked in the rear-view mirror and then the car was abruptly swerved to make a U-turn. This sharp U-turn instantly left the one at the back far behind. Because of the traffic light, the person following them was blocked at once. But, it was indeed as what Rae thought. The person following Benjamin was the police!

After giving the person the slip, Benjamin's lips seemed to have a hint of excitement. It looked like he was not afraid at all, but felt very excited.

Rae felt a little strange. Usually, wasn't someone who was being followed very anxious or jittery and even very scared. This man's behaviour was really very strange and not understandable.

However, before Rae had time to think about it deeply, she heard the person beside her speak, "I've given the person the slip. What do you want to eat later?"

Rae froze, turned her head and met Benjamin's attractive eyes. Facing these eyes at that moment, Rae had a very familiar feeling. Her sight had a trance but very quickly, Rae regained her presence of mind and said, "Anything, I'm not a picky eater!"

"I don't expect that Miss Baxter is actually not a picky eater at all!" Benjamin spoke teasingly.

Rae smiled faintly and did not say anything.

Benjamin added, "Rae, why do you have to be a policewoman? Why don't you go to the company of your family?"

Many people had asked her this question before. Rae's usual answer was always like this, "It's my personal preference!"

"Hmm!" Benjamin nodded, "You have a cool personality!"

"Maybe!" Rae did not like this kind of compliment, "Where is Mr Newman from?"

Like a casual conversation, Rae asked casually.

"My ancestral home is in City B but I grew up in another place!"

"Where?"

"City J!" said Benjamin.

Rae nodded.

The car soon stopped at food stalls. The two of them got out of the car.

Rae felt that it was really strange to eat at food stalls with a well-dressed person like Benjamin. However, it had been a long time since she had come out to eat at food stalls with someone. It had been five years. All her fun had been deprived. Now, someone suddenly suggested eating at food stalls so Rae was quite excited.

Especially when she saw there were many rows of tables, chairs and people lined up in a long queue, her appetite was triggered.

Rag ordered the spiciest lobster. Soon, a large plate of it was served. Rae started eating. It was very spicy. Rae kept sticking out her tongue after just biting once. Her whole tongue and lips turned red due to the spiciness. But, the spicier it was, the better her appetite was. Rae was busy eating and absolutely did not notice that the eyes of Benjamin who were sitting opposite her and staring at her darkened slightly. Rae ate two lobsters in a row. When she looked up, she saw that Benjamin was looking at her and did not eat. There was a very charming smile on his face. Out of the blue, he took a piece of tissue, got up, stretched his long arms over and helped Rae wipe off the red pepper oil on her lips. He said, "Rae, you look so cute when you're eating, your mouth is all stained!"

As he said, he wiped all the stain off.

Rae was shocked and was a bit stunned for a moment.

This action was really not suitable for people like them whose relationship was not close and they were not even friends. Rae just felt weird as this kind of action was really inappropriate.

Benjamin threw away the tissue and saw her apparently embarrassed face. So, he smiled faintly and said, "Sorry for the abrupt action! I saw that your hands were holding things so I helped you. I forgot to ask your opinion!"

When Rae heard him say so, she did not know what should she say and just smiled embarrassedly, "It's okay!" When Benjamin heard this answer, his eyes flashed again. His lips curled into an even more charming smile. Seeing his smile, Rae was once again in a trance.

Soon, she regained her presence of mind, lowered her head and continued to eat lobster.

Benjamin also joined her. He was also huffing and puffing due to the spiciness just like her and even gulped down cold drinks.

The two of them ate for more than half an hour and chatted during the meal. They were just talking about inconsequential topics.

When they were about to finish eating, Rae's phone suddenly rang.

Rae said to Benjamin, “Bear with me, I'm going to answer the phone!"

"It's okay!" Benjamin showed that he totally understood, "You may go, there is an open place at the front!"

He pointed over to the parking lot.

Rae took a glance and walked towards that side.

Benjamin went to pay.

Rae looked at the phone as she walked. Her phone was showing the phone number she had just saved, which was Adam's number.

He called her at this time?

Rae still answered the phone, “Hello?"

Immediately, Adam's somewhat apprehensive voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "Rae, I, I contacted the people in the hospital. I want to stay in City B for a while, I'll do my rehabilitation here!" "Oh!" Rae's tone was not very enthusiastic either. It was unhurried but polite, "That sounds good. Wherever you are, you should do your rehabilitation well!"

"Well, can I ask you to do something?" Adam was still very cautious.

Hearing his voice, Rae felt bad and said, "Say it!"

"The day after tomorrow, that is, the weekend, could you come with me to see the doctor?"

Rae thought about it and felt that it was Adam's dependence on her. She did not want to go and wanted to refuse him but she found it hard to refuse him due to her sympathy. It happened that there were many things that she needed to know from Adam so she said to him, "Adam, I can go to see the doctor with you. However, you have to be clear about one thing. The more frightened and unconfident you're, the worse it will be for your leg to recover! You must be confident, don't think too much. Your priority now is to do rehabilitation!"

Rae walked while talking on the phone, completely unaware that Benjamin had walked over and was standing right next to her.

Rae spoke briefly to Adam again. When she hung up the phone and turned back, she met Benjamin's attractive eyes. A rippling light seemed to flash in his eyes. She was astonished. She was a little chagrined that she was too careless. Although it was not an important matter, her vigilance was still too low. She, as a detective, surprisingly did not even notice that Benjamin had walked over and heard herself talking on the phone. This was indeed a problem.

But, the good thing was that it was not a big deal. Otherwise, there would really be a problem if she was so careless when handling a big matter. Seeing Benjamin stop despite seemingly wanting to say something, Rae could not help but ask, "Benjamin, do you have something to say?" Benjamin nodded, "Yes. Sorry for my deed just now, I heard you calling and also heard the last sentence!"

Rae felt very strange because whenever she was a little suspicious or a little disgusted with Benjamin, he was always able to eliminate the misunderstanding and make her no longer continue to feel disgusted. Rae only felt strange but she could not tell what exactly was strange.

At this time, Benjamin said, "I apparently heard that your friend is going to do rehabilitation exercise, is it correct?"

Rae nodded and said to him, "Yes, I have a friend who has been disabled for several years and his legs are not able to work normally. Now, he wants to do rehabilitation exercise but he isn't confident and needs me to give him a boost."

Benjamin nodded understandingly, "If you need to introduce the right doctor to him, you can tell me. I know a friend who is a doctor that specialises in rehabilitation exercises. Maybe I can give you guys help. Of course, this is entirely up to your friend as he may not trust me!"

Benjamin's enthusiasm made Rae instantly have a lot of good impressions of him. She immediately smiled at Benjamin, "Is it? Which hospital is your friend in?"

"Municipal Rehabilitation Hospital!" Benjamin said.

"That's great!" Rae said, "I'll have to ask him about this, maybe he hasn't found the right doctor yet. It would be better if you can introduce him to us!"

"Okay!" Benjamin took out his phone and found a phone number, "You enter this phone number first!"

While saying this, Benjamin read out a number.

Rae quickly jotted down. Benjamin then said, "This person is called Cian Hall! If you guys go to him, just say you're my friend. He'll give you a lot of advice and guidance!"

"Thank you!" Rae sincerely said thank you.

"You're welcome, Rae!" Benjamin smiled gently and elegantly, "But he is really an expert especially in rehabilitation exercises. He has a deep understanding of human bones and he perhaps can give you guys help, but it depends on how you guys decide?"

"I know, I'll convince him!" Rae assured.

"Let's go, I'll send you back!" Benjamin wiggled the keys in his hand and asked her, "Are you going home or?"

"I'm going to the hospital to see a patient!" said Rae.

She did not say who was she going to see and only said that she was going to the hospital. But, she did not say what was she going to do.

Benjamin's eyes, however, keenly moved and he asked casually, "Is your friend sick?"

Rae was stunned and shook her head.

"Then is it your family member?" Benjamin asked another question.

Rae nodded, "It's my mother. She had a car accident and is now recovering!"

"I see, so it was your mom who had the car accident!" Benjamin became serious, "I'll go to see her tomorrow morning. It isn't auspicious to see a patient at night so I'm not going tonight. Let's go, let's go to the hospital first!"

"No need!" Rae wanted to refuse.

"Rae, are you thinking that we just met a few days ago and we're still not friends so you don't want to trouble me?"

Seeing Benjamin mention exactly what she had in mind, Rae was once again surprised. Did he know how to read a person's mind?
