Chapter 506 Someone Was Heartbroken
Finished
After Amelia saw her finger, Nina showed it to everyone in the house, and both dogs once they got home.
The two dogs were busy eating.
If their food plates hadn’t been too tempting to leave behind, they would’ve run away from Nina’s complaining.
Nina babbled, “Nina hurt.”
As she tattled, she climbed all over the dogs to play.
Every time the dogs played with her, they were completely worn out afterward-like, totally exhausted.
Nina ran around the house bugging everyone, and still wasn’t satisfied.
She wanted to go see Jane.
Amelia looked at how dark it was and checked the time on her phone. She refused Nina flat-out without a second thought.
She said, “If you miss Grandma, call her on the phone.
“It’s too late today. We need to get ready for bed.
“We’ll go to Grandma’s for dinner tomorrow.”
Tomorrow was an important day-Barry was finally coming home from the hospital.
He just needed to rest at home for a while to get better.
Amelia was going to take Nina over for a meal, but she didn’t dare mention Barry ahead of time.
She knew Nina would demand to go see him right away if she found out.
Nina said, “Mommy, go Grandma.”
She had already called Jane, but she still wanted to go over.
Amelia didn’t budge. “Nina, if you insist on going out, we can only go to Sunbeam Daycare. No other places.”
The threat of daycare made Nina behave immediately.
Nina said, “Mommy, food.”
She dropped the going-out topic and asked for a snack instead.
Amelia could tell she was just saving face. “Let Mommy feel your tummy.”
She walked over and touched Nina’s stomach.
It wasn’t empty at all-she wasn’t hungry.
But Amelia still gave her a small packaged cookie anyway.

Nina took the cookie and walked off.
Amelia let her be. She said to Benjamin, “Watch her. I’m going to take a shower.”
Benjamin nodded in agreement.

The whole family was getting cleaned up and ready for bed early. Meanwhile, in a hospital room, Donna and Lorna-who’d fought with Amelia earlier-were wide awake.
Night had fully fallen outside the hospital window.
Lorna sat on the bed, her face gloomy.
She snapped, “How could you pick a fight with Benjamin?
“I could’ve fixed it if you’d slapped Hugh, even.
“But you had to mess with Benjamin.”
Donna stared at her, stunned.
By the time she’d arrived at the hospital, she’d learned who Benjamin really was-the head of the Graham family.
He was extremely powerful, but he was friends with Hugh.
Donna thought the Riley family, who’d always been kind to Lorna, could calm him down even if he was angry.
But Lorna was acting way too panicked.
She was normally calm and in control, never flustered by anything.
This time, she was truly scared.
Donna stood there, confused, and asked, “Is Benjamin really that dangerous?”
Lorna took a deep breath and didn’t want to say another word to her.
She’d kept Donna around because, even though Donna was stupid and impulsive, she was useful for getting on Stella’s nerves.
But now that Benjamin was involved, Lorna had no choice but to let Donna go, no matter how much she didn’t want to.
Lorna quickly pulled herself together. “You can head back and rest now.”
She pulled out her phone and transferred a large sum of money to Donna.
Lorna added, “Spend it on whatever you want-travel of shopping.”
Her voice was steady as she said, “Don’t contact me for awhile. I need to find a way to see Benjamin.
“Benjamin holds grudges more than anyone, and he’s got the worst temper.
