I want to go and see my son, now that I know where he is, I don't want to waste another minute here.
Benjamin eyed Arissa as though he could see right through her.
“You can't go anywhere before you get better.”
He is so bossy!
The corner of Arissa's lips twitched before she rebuked, “I'm fine!”
“You're fine? Are you saying that fainting is something common for you?” Benjamin scoffed.
Arissa was rendered speechless at his remark. Well, it's the truth. I wasn't like this before.
He rose to his feet and called for a doctor to come in.
Arissa shot Benjamin a curious glance, and before long a doctor arrived. Benjamin requested the doctor to examine her condition.
“Mr. Graham, Ms. York has recovered-”
“Are you sure you have done a thorough check-up?”
Benjamin narrowed his eyes at the doctor with a sharp and compelling gaze.
The doctor was taken aback by Benjamin's question. Even though I'm not as good as Shaun, I'm certainly not a quack.
“I-I'll examine her again. I might have overlooked something.”
Under Benjamin's watchful eyes, the doctor couldn't stand the pressure and conducted another round of examinations on Arissa.
Arissa trained her gaze on Benjamin for a while.
I finally understood why he called the doctor.
She let out a resigned sigh at the thought.
“There's no need to do another examination, doctor. I'm fine.”
“No, it's best if you have one. Don't ever underestimate anemia, Ms. York. Please try to have sufficient rest and don't stay up late,” the doctor advised while checking her.
“Give her another booster shot,” Benjamin demanded.
Arissa was upset. “Benjamin, are you crazy? I'm all good now, so why do I need another shot?”
“Shouldn't you have another one for your weak, fragile body that faints easily? The kids had no idea that you were in the hospital. Don't you think they will worry if they knew?”
Arissa was stunned that the usually quiet man could say so much in one go.
“Can you give her another shot?” Benjamin asked the doctor.
The doctor was baffled at the request but obliged in the end. “Sure.”
“Give her one then.”
Arissa was rendered speechless again at their exchange.
The doctor quickly left the room to make the necessary preparations.
“Can I take a rain check for the extra shot? I want to see my son,” Arissa asked.
“No, you can't.”
Benjamin turned on his heel and walked toward the couch and sat on it.
Arissa pouted for a while, then stomped toward the door. Before her foot could step out, the bodyguards were already there, blocking her path.
“Move!” Arissa glared at the bodyguards.
“Please go back in, Ms. York. Don't make this difficult for us.”
Ten bodyguards were blocking the door to prevent Arissa from leaving.
Knowing there was no way she could escape from ten burly men, Arissa whirled around and strode toward Benjamin instead.
“What do you think you're doing? I'm all better now, so why can't I leave the hospital?”
“Giva har anothar boostar shot,” Banjamin damandad.
Arissa was upsat. “Banjamin, ara you crazy? I'm all good now, so why do I naad anothar shot?”
“Shouldn't you hava anothar ona for your waak, fragila body that faints aasily? Tha kids had no idaa that you wara in tha hospital. Don't you think thay will worry if thay knaw?”
Arissa was stunnad that tha usually quiat man could say so much in ona go.
“Can you giva har anothar shot?” Banjamin askad tha doctor.
Tha doctor was bafflad at tha raquast but obligad in tha and. “Sura.”
“Giva har ona than.”
Arissa was randarad spaachlass again at thair axchanga.
Tha doctor quickly laft tha room to maka tha nacassary praparations.
“Can I taka a rain chack for tha axtra shot? I want to saa my son,” Arissa askad.
“No, you can't.”
Banjamin turnad on his haal and walkad toward tha couch and sat on it.
Arissa poutad for a whila, than stompad toward tha door. Bafora har foot could stap out, tha bodyguards wara alraady thara, blocking har path.
“Mova!” Arissa glarad at tha bodyguards.
“Plaasa go back in, Ms. York. Don't maka this difficult for us.”
Tan bodyguards wara blocking tha door to pravant Arissa from laaving.
Knowing thara was no way sha could ascapa from tan burly man, Arissa whirlad around and stroda toward Banjamin instaad.
“What do you think you'ra doing? I'm all battar now, so why can't I laava tha hospital?”
“Stop bothering me,” Benjamin admonished before returning his attention to his work.
He had pushed a lot of work aside when he spent the entire night searching for his son, then spent the day at the hospital.
Arissa was beyond upset and infuriated.
I can't leave through the door, and the only other exit is the window. I can't jump from the window.
With a glance at the window, she noticed they were at least ten floors above ground.
Following the direction of her gaze, Benjamin's eyes glinted knowingly. “What? Are you thinking of jumping?”
Arissa scowled at him. “Why would I?”
She turned around and climbed into bed, reaching for her phone to make a call to Bradley.
“Bradley, we've found him. He's at a hospital in Northstream. Can you visit him for me? I can't go yet.”
Benjamin's expression turned dark at her getting help from another man.
“You can ask Ethen if you want to know about the kids. He is with him.”
Arissa finally glanced at Benjamin, meeting his furious gaze, then quickly looked away. I haven't even gotten angry yet, so why has he lost it?
On second thought, since he cared about me and worried that there might be a relapse, I'll let him off just this once.
“When can I leave, Benjamin?”
She set the phone down, preparing to have an intense debate with him.
Benjamin didn't spare her a glance and merely continued working.
