“Do you think I'm heartless?”
Benjamin leaned down to look at her.
His breath brushed past her face, sending a warm and tingling sensation throughout her body as his familiar scent enveloped her.
Arissa gulped. “No!”
They should never be compassionate toward their enemies.
Arissa had no more sympathy for Nick after learning that he had intended not only to harm Benjamin but also their entire family, including her children.
Benjamin's eyes darkened, and he bent down to peck her on the forehead.
“Grandpa is awake! He's awake!”
Suddenly, they could hear their children's cheers and exclamations coming from the ward.
Their eyes lit up, and they rushed into the ward.
Darius was awake, with the six children standing around his bed.
“Grandpa!”
Arissa quickly pulled the children to one side and reminded them, “He just woke up, so you guys have to quieten down!”
She looked at Darius joyfully as Benjamin pressed the button to call for assistance. He walked up to Darius, asking, “Dad, how are you feeling?”
“Mm...”
Darius' voice was hoarse. Arissa rushed to pour a glass of water and handed it to Benjamin.
Benjamin accepted it and gave it to Darius. “Take a sip.”
After Darius drank a bit of water, the doctors came in.
Benjamin quickly stepped aside for the doctors.
A dozen doctors started giving Darius a thorough checkup as Benjamin, Arissa, Edwin, William, and the six children waited at the side.
Mary also came rushing in upon hearing Darius was awake.
“Old Mr. Graham is awake?”
“Yes, he just woke up!” Arissa told Mary gleefully.
Mary was elated to hear that.
She looked in the direction of the bed but couldn't see Darius as the doctors had him surrounded.
After a few minutes, the doctors told Benjamin, “Mr. Graham, Old Mr. Graham is fine now. He just needs more rest!”
“Okay!” Benjamin nodded.
“Thank you, everyone!” Arissa smiled.
