Chapter 26 You Can't Make Any Sounds
Daryl pulled Benjamin towards the sofa to make him sit with her. She gently touched the boy's head and said,
"Bennie, don't worry about me. | will recover soon."
Benjamin did not want to add to his mother's worries. He then hugged her and said, "Mommy, I'll protect you
from now on."
Hearing this, Daryl felt all warm inside. "Okay, Bennie."
When Zack went downstairs, he saw Daryl's affectionate gesture towards his son. The two of them didn't notice
him, and this made him frown.
Dillon saw his boss's sour face.
"Well, Mr. Ji, what would you like for dinner?"
Dillon said on purpose to remind Daryl and Benjamin that Zack was there.
After hearing what Dillon said, Daryl looked up at the stairs and saw Zack's tall figure.
Benjamin also raised his head and told Dillon, "Dillon, ask the chef to prepare sfood that is easy to pick up.
Mommy's arm is injured and it's very inconvenient for her to use chopsticks." "Yes," Dillon replied.
Zack's expression grew dark. He walked towards the mother and son with his long slender legs. "What
happened?" he asked in a low voice. She just went out one day for shooting, but cback with an injured arm.
"Nothing."
Daryl subconsciously shrank back. "It's just an accident.
However, Zack did not care about what she said. He reached out and grabbed her arm. He then lifted her sleeve
and saw her arm was bandaged with gauze dressing.
Squinting his eyes, Zack said coldly, "Daryl, you better explain towhat happened."

"What?"
Zack's dangerous aura made Daryl nervous and unable to react. Judging from the tone of how he asked, she felt
as if she destroyed this man's most beloved treasure, even though she was the one in pain. Left with no choice,
she chose to tell him the full truth.
She knew that even if she lied, he would still find out. She would get more furious then.
After Daryl barely finished her words, she felt that the man in front of her grew even colder.
On the other hand, Benjamin's handsface tensed up after hearing what Daryl said. The expressions of the
two were in sync.
"Mommy, that's too much!" Benjamin could not help but clench his fists.
"I'll ask Rollins to punish that crap crew tomorrow!"
Even Benjamin was this mad; Daryl wondered if Zack would blow up the whole set. However, Zack only gave his
son a warning look. "Benjamin Ji," he said coldly and sternly.
Benjamin was furious, but he seemed to have forgotten that his father was still here. He apologized, "Daddy, I'm
sorry! Mommy, | said something without thinking. Please don't be scared."
Daryl shook her head and looked at the boy with gentle eyes. "I'm moved that you care forso much. But
being too irritable is bad, okay?"
"Okay, Mommy!"
Benjamin nodded. He could not help but think that his mother was the kindest person in the world. She was so
considerate and understanding when she disciplined him.
When Zack saw Daryl's gentleness towards Benjamin, he gritted his teeth. He felt unseen and invisible.
While comforting Benjamin, Daryl felt a slight chill down her spine. She turned around abruptly only to see
Zack's malicious expression.
"Well, it's actually not that big of a deal."
Daryl tried to console him. She took out two ointments from her bag. "Look, | have two ointments here."
Hearing this, Zack lowered his eyes to look at the ointments. Vigilant as he was, he reached out and took the two
ointments from her hand.
Daryl was confused. 'Does this man even know what he's doing? | don't think he understands how ointments
work."
"Who gave you this ointment?"
After observing for a few minutes, Zack stared at her coldly.
Hearing this, Daryl moved closer to him and asked curiously, "It's from the assistant director. What's wrong with
it?"
She could not help but feel a little nervous. Was there really something wrong with the ointment?
"| did not use it as Sofia was not by my side back then. Sofia cback later with the other ointment. And she
applied the one she bought on my arm."
Zack raised his eyes and squinted at her suspiciously. "Really?"
Daryl nodded repeatedly. "I'm serious!"
"Dillon!"
Zack called out.
"Yes?"
"Send this ointment to the testing lab," Zack commanded. He handed the ointment to Dillon.

"Yes, sir."
Dillon took it and left.
"Is there any problem with the one bought by Sofia?"
The assistant director's ointment was sent to the testing lab. Daryl thought that one bought by Sofia should be
okay.
"No, there isn't."
Zack shook his head.
Daryl let out a sigh. She wanted to take it back from his hand, but he threw it into the trash bin. Daryl took a
deep breath and asked, "Zack, why did you throw it away?" "Trash,"
Zack replied simply. He then called the family doctor.
Daryl was choked by that reply. 'How dare he say that the ointment bought by Sofia was trash? He himself is
trash!" she thought angrily.
"You can curse if you want, but you can't make any sounds."
It was as if Zack saw through her. "Besides, you should stop looking so ferocious.
Your face makeslose my appetite."
Daryl felt completely defeated. She was no match for this man in bickering.
"Mommy, Daddy is always so mean and unreasonable,"
Benjamin said and got close to her. "You just really need to get used to it."
Zack glanced coldly at Benjamin and said,
"Now that you said so, | need to do something to show how | mean | can be. From tomorrow on, you must run for
thirty minutes more."
