Chapter 1274 Maniac


    Ethen could tell Benjamin was in a foul mood, but he had to bite the bullet and endure the scolding.


    After all, he supposedly couldn''t figure out who the perpetrator was.

    “Mr. Graham, please give me another two hours!” Ethen replied fearfully. If I still can''t give him an


    answer by then, I''m sure he''s sending me to a deserted ind as punishment. However, the boys


    warned me. If I tell Mr. Graham about it, I''ll be in trouble. Ugh! I''m in such a difficult position! Having


    said that, I would rather cross the boys because I can at least negotiate with them.


    “You have one hour!” Benjamin issued the ultimatum. It''s just a small matter. Why can''t Ethen settle it?


    Something fishy is definitely going on here.


    Arissa and Shaun exchanged nces when they heard that. After that, he quickly gave her an IV drip


    and fled.


    Before he left the ward, he waved at Mary, signaling her to leave as soon as she could.


    “Issa, I should head home. Rest well!” Mary sensed the weird atmosphere. I should leave while I can


    and let the married couple talk in private.


    “Okay.” Arissa nodded.


    After everyone left, Arisa asked Benjamin, “Were you on the phone with Ethen just now? What did you


    ask him to investigate?”


    Benjaminposed himself and replied, “I asked him to find out who assaulted Julian!”


    Arissa froze momentarily. Oh? So, it really wasn''t them?


    “Yes. We need to investigate that thoroughly. After all, this person did us a big favor!” she joked.


    Seeing that Benjamin was keeping mum, she mulled over it and asked, “Who p*ssed you off? You''re so


    cranky.”


    Seeing that Benjamin was keeping mum, she mulled over it and asked, “Who p*ssed you off? You''re so


    cranky.”


    “Is it that obvious?” Benjamin nced over and saw her sitting by the bed. In the next moment, he


    walked toward her and helped her lie down. “You have to lie down when you''re on an IV drip!”


    Arissa hummed in response and stared at him. “What happened to you?”


    Benjamin knew she was worried about him, but he didn''t want to tell her things that would agitate her.


    “It''s nothing. A few idiots annoyed me!” he replied evasively.


    Hearing that, Arissa held his hand and toyed with his fingers. In a gentle tone, she urged, “It''s okay to


    tell me. What exactly happened?”


    At times, one had to vent to feel better.


    Benjamin gazed at her and sighed. “If I tell you, I''m only going to frustrate you. You need to rest.”


    Since he was unwilling to open up, Arissa had no choice but to ask directly, “Is it because of Julian?”


    She didn''t mention Cindy because she didn''t want to throw Shaun under the bus.


    Benjamin''s eyes gleamed as he stared at her steadily, making her feel somewhat guilty.


    “Shaun told you about it, didn''t he?”


    The sentence sounded more like a statement than a question.


    Arissa smiled awkwardly in response. How is Benjamin so smart? When Shaun told me about it,


    Benjamin was on the phone.


    “So? Are you still not telling me about it?” she asked.


    Benjamin pinched her fingers gently and answered, “They caused trouble in the hospital, and I chased


    them out!”


    “Good job!” Arissa showed her support.


    “Don''t you think what I did was heartless?” Benjamin raised a brow.


    “No! They said mean things, so they truly deserve it! If I were there, I would''ve hit them!” Arissa


    snarled. She was so angry that her cheeks turned rosy instantly.


    A twinkle appeared in Benjamin''s eyes, and he was no longer as irritated.


    He then pinched her cheek and asked all of a sudden, “What if she was right?”


    Arissa became angrier as she stared at him in disbelief. “Are you crazy? Why would you call yourself a


    b*stard?”


    Touched, Benjamin caressed her head.


    There and then, he told her about his family. “In actuality, this is all because of the foolish things Dad


    did when he was younger. He and Cindy knew each other from the beginning, but he married my mom


    because it was an arranged marriage. After my parents got married, my mom was p*ssed off when she


    found out Cindy and my dad had two children together. Initially, my mom wanted a divorce, but my dad


    refused to ept it. I don''t even know if he ever loved her. After so many years, he has neither brought


    that woman home nor taken my mom back...”
