Chapter 1260 No Doctor Willing To Treat Them
Seeing the triumphant expression on his face, Arissa couldn''t help but smile too.
“Look at that grin on your face. It''s not like it''s the first time a child has called you ''Daddy''!” she teased
yfully.
“But it''s Oliver''s first time,” Benjamin said, unable to contain his excitement. “It feels different from how
Gavin calls me. It''s special.”
Arissa was unsure how to respond. “What''s the distinction?” she inquired.
Benjamin yfully pinched her cheeks and countered, “Did you feel any difference when Tim called
you ''Mommy''?”
Arissa smiled with narrowed eyes and murmured, “I thought you couldn''t tell the difference.”
Her response momentarily left Benjamin speechless.
Noticing the speechless expression on his face, Arissa couldn''t help but chuckle softly. “What prompted
Oliver to suddenly call you ''Daddy''?”
The children used to call him Mr. Graham. What made them decide to change the way they address
him all of a sudden?
As Benjamin was about to respond to her curious gaze, his phone rang, prompting him to step aside
and answer the call.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Graham, they''re at their breaking point,” Ethen reported in a businesslike tone, devoid of emotion.
Benjamin''s lips curled into a slight smile. “How long has it been?” he inquired.
“About three hours.”
Benjamin snorted coldly in response. Not bad.
“Come back then,” he ordered.
“Understood, Sir!” Ethen swiftly directed his subordinates to retrieve Justin and Julian from the sea.
After tucking his phone away, Benjamin casually faced Arissa, feigning an air of nonchnce.

“What was the call about?” she asked.
“Some work-rted matters. Nothing important,” Benjamin replied as if nothing significant had
urred, calmly pushing her wheelchair along theke.
The gentle evening breeze picked up its intensity, prompting Arissa to adjust her cloak. Tilting her head,
she gazed at him. “The wind seems to be getting stronger. Shall we head back up?”
A tinge of concern was evident in his eyes as he looked at her. “Are you cold?”
“Not really. It''s just that the wind is making my hair all messy,” she said while stroking her hair.
Benjamin immediately halted in his tracks and gathered her hair in his hands, putting it into a neat bun.
“Is this better?”
A smile crept across her face as she touched her hair. Surprisingly, it held up quite well without a hair
clip. “Yes, much better.”
After tucking a few more loose strands of hair neatly behind her ears, the man continued their stroll
along theke. “You''ve spent the entire day cooped up in the ward, so it''s good toe out and get
some fresh air.”
Since it was still early, Benjamin thought they might as well spend more time outdoors.
After strolling for another ten or so minutes, he finally led her back to the ward.
With their strength drained, Julian and Justin were hauled up to the deck by Ethen. They appeared
disheveled and incapable of making any arrogant remarks, their arrogance now reced with fear and
exhaustion.
“You should count yourselves lucky to be alive,” Jack scoffed, delivering a kick to each of them.
The two men were too weak to retaliate.
“I won''t spare you if you dare toy your fingers on the children again!” Bradley added, delivering a
couple more forceful kicks thatnded squarely on their faces, leaving them in excruciating pain and
unable to utter a word.
As a precaution, Ethen instructed a doctor to examine them to ensure they were not in critical condition
before leaving them ashore.
They tied Julian and Justin together and left them by the seaside for the night.
Throughout the night, there was no one toe to their rescue. Shivering in the cold wind, they
trembled with fear, enduring a night of misery and despair.
The next day, they were discovered in a pitiful state, suffering from high fevers and looking disheveled
and miserable.
Their unfortunate condition became an inte spectacle, attracting significant attention and subjecting
them to immense humiliation.
Their already dire situation waspounded by the fact that it seemed no doctors were willing to
extend medical assistance to them, a decision possibly influenced by Benjamin''s instructions or
influence.
After a night of freezing temperatures and enduring high fevers, Julian and Justin were left with no
choice but to grit their teeth and bear the difort.
Their current predicament served as a stark and harsh reminder of the severe consequences that
followed when one dared to offend Benjamin.
Justin was gued with deep regret as he pondered his actions. Why did I sacrifice myself for a
woman who doesn''t even love me? It''s just not worth it!
