Nina asked several times, and when she realized Amelia wasn’t going to get up yet, she finally hugged Benjamin’s leg, her little face full of distress. “Daddy, scared!”
Nina had been through an emergency at the hospital before, back when Benjamin wasn’t awake.
But once he woke up, William and Daniel had sent him the videos and photos from that day.
So Benjamin knew exactly how miserable Nina had looked.
Liam, the one who had tried to harm Nina, had been “coincidentally” taken away by people from the casino before he could be officially sentenced.
The casino demanded repayment. When he couldn’t pay, they collected the debt in their own brutal way.
It was said that Liam was sent to an online streaming room, where his hands and feet were amputated live, attracting countless viewers to tip.
Liam’s mother, after he was taken away, searched for him obsessively and had even lost her sanity in the
process.
Neither Daniel nor Benjamin had ever told Amelia about their situation.
Now, seeing Amelia still unconscious, Benjamin lifted Nina into his arms. “No need to be afraid.”
Nina sniffled, still scared, sitting on his arm.
“Daddy, scared of doctors,” she said clearly.
Every time she saw a doctor, it meant injections or medicine.
Over time, she had grown fearful of hospitals and doctors.
“Daddy, close door!” Nina suddenly remembered and pointed toward the door, wanting Benjamin to shut it.
Seeing how scared Nina was, Benjamin walked over.
Before closing the door, he peeked outside-Freya had ready left.
He silently made a mental note to repay Freya for this favor.
Then, he shut the door.
Once the door was closed, the hospital room was left with just the three of them.
Benjamin had already had his clothes, laptop, and Nina things delivered.
For now, he didn’t open the laptop. He brought out nuber cards and a picture book to do a routine learning session with Nina.
He told Nina, “Nina, today we have a goal. Learn three umbers and read the picture book for thirty
minutes.
“With this plan, you might not catch up to the knowledge I had at your age, but you won’t fall too far behind.

“Now, you can choose-numbers first or reading the picture book?”
Benjamin pushed the number cards and book toward her.
They sat face-to-face on the carpet, looking at each other.
“Daddy.” Nina blinked and made a third choice. “Watch sprinkler truck!”
The sprinkler truck Nina mentioned was from a cartoon
Although Nina couldn’t recognize numbers or letters, she could identify many types of vehicles: excavators, cranes, trucks, cement mixers, fire trucks, police cars, ambulances… she knew them all.
Benjamin was stunned. He maintained a calm tone as he told Nina, “Sprinkler truck isn’t an option.
“You can only choose between the picture book and the number cards.”
Benjamin was serious about teaching, but Nina wasn’t.
She picked up both the cards and the book, then threw them down.
“Sprinkler truck! Just a little bit! Nina good! Watch little bit! Daddy!”
Nina was good at begging Amelia for TV time, so now she tried the same with her dad.
She climbed into Benjamin’s lap, her chubby little body pressed against him.
Before Benjamin could say anything, Nina pouted and planted kisses on him.
She kept kissing while coaxing him, “Please, Daddy! Daddy, just a little!”
