Miracle Cutie (Amelia and Benjamin) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 The Hospital Showdown

Jimmy flat-out refused to go to the hospital.

Jack took a deep breath, forcing himself to speak calmly “Benjamin’s the one who told you to come. He’s also the one who said to call Peter”

The name “Benjamin” hit like a bucket of ice water, Jimmy, who’d been yelling at Jack a second ago, jumped off the bed so fast he almost tripped.

All the attitude vanished.

He shoved his feet into his shoes while prying for info. Why does Benjamin want us at the hospital? I haven’t seen him in forever. Does he… miss me or some hing?”

Jimmy was terrified of Benjamin.

To be exact, every single one of the younger kids was se red stiff of him.

Jimmy had never actually been hit-he’d been too sickly for that.

Benjamin had never raised a hand to him. But Jimmy bad watched Benjamin beat Daniel and Lucas almost senseless.

The worst time was when Daniel, in his rebellious phase started hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Those so-called friends didn’t just drag him out partying; they tried to get him hooked on drugs.

The plan never even got off the ground-Benjamin found out first.

Daniel almost didn’t survive the lesson.

Jack, Forrest, and Hugh had all rushed over the second they heard, because they knew how bad it was.

Little Jimmy had tagged along, clinging to Jack like always.

One trip was all it took. Jimmy had been traumatized for life.

Even though he was grown up, the fear stuck.

Jack watched Jimmy already dialing Peter, shoes on in two seconds flat, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Benjamin’s name worked better than anything he ever said.

Suddenly, the idea of letting Benjamin handle Peter didn’t sound half bad. Might save him a few gray hairs.

Jimmy was still on the phone. “Just stop asking and get ever there.”

He had zero clue why they were going, so of course, he couldn’t explain it to Peter!

Everyone raced to the hospital.

By now, Nina had already been transferred there, too.

Her eyes needed a more thorough check.

But she hated doctors with every fiber of her tiny being She sobbed and reached for William the whole

Her chubby little arms flailing, and the nonstop “Granda” broke William’s heart into a million pieces.

He insisted, “Nina, just a little longer, okay? Once your eyes are all clean, we’ll go home.”

William knew she was terrified of hospitals and doctors

But right now, he couldn’t just scoop her up and leave!

While the doctor was still examining her, several people ran into each other at the hospital entrance.

The second Jimmy spotted Peter, his whole face lit up. e completely ignored Benjamin’s stormy expression and bolted straight over.

“Peter! You came!” Jimmy exclaimed.

“Yeah. Why’d you call me here all of a sudden?” Peter asked.

Peter was tall and decent-looking, just from an average amily.

Jimmy didn’t care about money anyway-he knew hardly anyone was richer than his family.

Jimmy said, “Benjamin told us to come. I don’t know what’s going on either.”

In front of Peter, Jimmy suddenly turned into the perfet obedient boy.

The moment Peter heard “Benjamin,” he knew exactly who that was.

It made things even weirder.

He’d always wanted to get close to Benjamin, but he also knew the man kept everyone at arm’s length.

Why would Benjamin suddenly summon him out of the blue?

A bad feeling started crawling up Peter’s spine.

Before he could voice it to Jimmy, Jack-finally at the end of his rope-strode over.

He grabbed Jimmy by the back of the neck and yanked im to his side.

Jack sneered, “Wouldn’t say a word in the car, but now you won’t shut up?”

Jack was so furious with Jimmy that he felt like checking himself into the hospital next.

He snapped at Jimmy, then turned an icy glare on Peter before Jimmy could explode.

He warned, “This is your last warning. Stay the hell away from Jimmy!

“If you touch him again, don’t blame me for what happens-”

Before Jack could finish, Jimmy broke free, angrily clinging to Peter’s arm.

Jimmy shouted, “I’m the one who went after him! If youre gonna hurt someone, hurt me!
