Chapter 834 Good News

“Just some of them,” replied Benjamin, looking at the woman. Ethen had passed down Benjamin’s orders to a few schools in Dellmoor, but not all. However, it was for sure that none of the better schools in the city would accept the kid.

Arissa nodded when she heard the man’s reply. If that was the case, it did not concern them whether or not the rest of the schools wanted to accept that woman’s kid.

There was no need for her to feel guilty. “Is that woman going to be arrested?” she asked. Without replying, Benjamin fixed his gaze on Arissa before turning the woman’s head around to face him. The next moment, he pressed his lips against hers.

Arissa could almost feel her head spinning from the man’s passionate kiss and stopped fretting about other matters. When they arrived at the hospital, Benjamin planted another kiss on the corner of Arissa’s lips.

Looking at the woman who was blushing, his gaze darkened as he felt waves of desire rise within him. He wouldn’t have stopped if they did not have something to attend to.

“Are you able to get out of the car?” Benjamin asked teasingly while pinching the woman’s cheek lovingly. Arissa was panting and her face was flushed red.

“Of course!” she replied after casting a self-conscious glance at the man. Benjamin brushed his finger against her nose and got out of the car. “Come on!”

Arissa cleared her throat before stepping out of the car. Standing next to the car door, Benjamin put his hand on the headliner to prevent the woman from bumping her head against it.

Then, the couple headed into the hospital together. “I wonder how Grandaunt is feeling today!”

Arissa had only spoken to Mary on the phone the previous day but did not visit her at the hospital. “She should be fine. If there’s anything wrong, Shaun would have called me,” Benjamin replied, reassuring the woman.

Arissa nodded. When both of them reached the ward, there was still about an hour left to Mary’s surgery. Mary had just finished her breakfast with the help of a nurse.

When the old lady saw the couple, she greeted them with a smile on her face. “Why are you guys here? Don’t you have to work?”

“Grandaunt, knowing that you’re having your surgery today, how can we work in peace? Since he’s the boss, it wouldn’t matter what time we go to the office. Don’t worry about us.”

Arissa sat by Mary’s bedside and held the old lady’s hand while expressing her concern for her. “It’s just a minor surgery. You guys didn’t have to come!” Feeling extremely touched, Mary replied, “Do Tim and the other kids know about my surgery?”
