Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1326

Benjamin was heading back to his office when he suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Dr. Benjamin."

He turned around and spotted Tarquin and Lowell. For a second, he just stared, surprised.

"Tarquin? When did you get back?"

Lowell jumped in before Tarquin could answer, "Tonight, Dr. Benjamin. What happened back there?"

Benjamin rubbed his temples, exasperated. "Victor's really drawn the short straw with that granddaughter of his. She's got zero empathy, no sense of ethics, no conscience, and the bedside manner of a rattlesnake. Total disaster. She's arrogant, rude, and impossible to work with. Honestly, I can't think of a single redeeming quality."

"She's not even competent, but her temper's off the charts!"

Tarquin frowned, skeptical. "You really think Sabrina can find a cure?”

Benjamin snorted. "If she manages to pull that off, I'll eat my stethoscope. I know exactly what she's capable of, and trust me, it's not much."

"So why is she so confident?" Tarquin pressed.

Benjamin threw up his hands. "I have no idea what's going on in that crazy woman's head."

Tarquin glanced toward the conference room, deep in thought.

As he and Benjamin headed down the hall toward the office, they kept talking.

"The situation's getting out of hand," Benjamin said, voice low. "The first batch of patients are barely hanging on, and now we've got new cases popping up. This virus is way worse than the last outbreak we had. I suggested we call Victor in, see if he could lead the team. Sabrina shot me down immediately."
