“Archie!” Estella quickly ran over to Lucian.
Lucian flung his arms around her as he was afraid the baby dolphin's parents would violently attack anyone in sight.
Benny was quick enough to stand behind Estella to protect her. He stayed close to Lucian and asked, “Archie, are you all right?”
Archie nodded to indicate that he was fine. However, his gaze remained fixed on that overweight kid.
The keeper's reprimand proved effective, for the baby dolphin's parents stopped trying to attack them.
Otherwise, the overweight child could potentially be at risk, for the force of impact from the collision could be enough to cause his bones to fracture.
The overweight kid was planning on yelling at Archie, but the two adult dolphins caused his entire body to become rigid with fear.
“Daddy? Daddy!” he screamed in terror.
The keeper moved quickly and with great empathy to soothe the agitated adult dolphins, preventing them from taking out their fury on the plump kid.
The baby dolphin had no idea what was happening, but it obediently hid behind its parents.
The overweight man was taken aback when he suddenly realized that his son had almost been involved in an accident. Despite his desire to act quickly, his body was slow to respond.
He tried to run to the swimming pool, but his bulky frame made it difficult for him to climb over the railing.
“What is going on? How could the dolphins try to hurt a kid?” he yelled at the keeper the moment he arrived at the poolside.
He shot a fierce glare at Archie, who was still in Lucian's embrace. “What do you think you're doing, barreling into my child like that? Do you have a death wish?”
Lucian got to his feet and stood in front of the three children in a defensive manner.
Right this moment, he unleashed his hostile aura without holding back.
Roxanne's expression turned grim as she stood up and walked down the stairs to the pool.
“Fatty, that's utter nonsense! Your son nearly killed the baby dolphin! It was him who didn't follow the rules!”
