Chapter 68: Attack of the Illness
Juliana looked upstairs. It was the sound of something falling to the ground.
Benson was smashing things.
Bang, bang, bang.
The sound got louder.
Juliana frowned tightly as she lifted her foot to go upstairs.
Old Mr. Leach pulled her back, "Jill, what are you doing?"
Juliana looked up at the second floor, "I'm going to check on Benson. I can't let him keep going like
this."
Old Mr. Leach didn't let go but pulled her tightly, "No, you can't go. Benson is having an attack and he
doesn't recognize anyone right now. If you approach him, you'll be seriously injured, or worse, dead!"
Juliana, "Grandpa..."
Old Mr. Leach still did not let go, "I didn't ask you to get yourself killed here. Just wait. He'll make it
through the night."
Old Mr. Leach choked up when he said the last sentence.
If Benson got through it, he would be in worse shape and closer to death.
But if he didn't make it... the one who died tonight would be...
Old Mr. Leach did not dare to think or cry.
Juliana heard Benson smashing things frantically upstairs and couldn't imagine that his attack this time
was so much worse than the last one.
In just a moment, there came eight bodyguards. They quickly went upstairs, followed by the sound of
breaking through the door.
Juliana keenly noticed that there was a figure hidden in the darkness outside, which was the sniper. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Everything was ready.
Juliana heard the sound of chains and she was worried, "Grandpa, I'll go up and take a look. They can't
do that to Benson."
She wondered if the bodyguards were trying to tie Benson up in chains.
She dared not imagine. It was Benson, who could not be tied up like a prisoner.
He was such a proud and noble man that he should not suffer such pain.
Old Mr. Leach was moved but he still refused, "No, you are so fragile. You will die if you go up there."
The women whom old Mr. Leach had sent to Benson were beaten severely and put in the hospital
before he had had an attack.
Last time Juliana had come out unharmed also because Benson had not had an attack.
Today, Benson's attack was more serious than ever and someone might actually die.
Juliana, "I won't."
At this time, the sound of breaking the door came from upstairs. The bodyguards had already dashed
in. The chains were clanging as if they were thrown out.
Juliana's face changed slightly and she lifted her foot to go upstairs.
Old Mr. Leach pulled her, "They have experience and will get Benson under control. Don't you go up
there."
Bang, bang, bang.
There was the sound of a fight upstairs, and the sounds of the bodyguards discussing.
But...
Bang, bang, bang.
Soon there were screams from the bodyguards and the sound of two of them falling out of the door.
Juliana pushed old Mr. Leach's hand away, "This won't work. I have to get up there."
Their use of violence against violence didn't work at all.
That was when a commanding voice came from the doorway, "Stop her."
The bodyguards who fell at the door heard the order and immediately rushed over, blocking the
stairway and standing in Juliana's way.
Juliana ignored the bodyguards and looked back at the man who came through the entrance.
The man wore gold-framed glasses and had a somewhat feminine aura, but the glasses neutralized it
and made him seem gentle.
Old Mr. Leach saw him as if he had seen a savior, "Zach, go check on Benson and calm him down as
soon as possible."
Zach nodded, then walked up the steps and stood next to Juliana as he looked her up and down,
"You'll only get him killed if you go inside."
