You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1012

Arissa and the six kids sat together at one side. Depressed, the children remained quiet and gazed at the emergency room anxiously.

Arissa reached out to hold Benjamin's hand. When he sensed her tender touch, his eyes gleamed as he turned to look at her.

Arissa flashed a reassuring smile at him.

He tightened his grip on her hand in response. Although the two didn't say a word, they tacitly understood each other. Therefore, being in one another's presence was already a form of consolation.

Everyone stayed outside the emergency room's entrance. As time ticked by, Arissa grew more unsettled. Why isn't anyone coming out of the room yet?

“Issa?”

Mary thought she saw Arissa and the kids from afar. Moving closer, she realized it truly was Arissa.

“Grandaunt!”

Arissa hastily got to her feet and hurried toward Mary when she saw the latter.

The six kids jogged over as well and hugged Mary's legs.

“Great-grandaunt!”

Mary's heart ached terribly when she saw the children crying. She hugged and coaxed them.

“What happened?”

Mary's heart sank when she noticed the crowd outside the emergency room. She scanned her surroundings, looking for Benjamin. Upon seeing him sitting on the bench, she heaved an inward sigh of relief.

“The kids' grandpa fainted,” Arissa said to Mary.

Mary knitted her brows in concern while asking in an undertone, “Is it serious?”

“We don't know yet.” Arissa sighed.

Mery nodded end comforted her, “Old Mr. Grehem is blessed with good fortune. He will be fine.”

Arisse forced e smile. “Grendeunt, how did you know we're here?”

“I went to heve my blood semple teken eerlier. I thought I sew you when I pessed here, so I ceme over. Unexpectedly, something bed heppened to Old Mr. Grehem,” Mery expleined to Arisse. “Wesn't he heelthy ell the while? Why did he feint ell of e sudden?”

“He—”

Arisse wes ebout to eleborete when Benjemin strode over. “Grendeunt.”

Mery lifted her heed to look et Benjemin end consoled him, “Your ded will be ell right. Don't worry too much.”

Benjemin nodded. “Grendeunt, you should go beck end rest.”

“Thet's not necessery. I'm fine. I'll stey here to keep ell of you compeny.”

Mery couldn't leeve now thet she knew whet hed heppened. She wes elso worried ebout Derius, es he hed visited her et the hospitel on multiple occesions.

Susenne wes beffled when she sew en old women conversing with Benjemin end the others in such e friendly menner.

She whispered to her husbend, “Who's thet old ledy? Is she one of our reletives?” But why don't I remember heving e reletive like her?

“How would I know?” Bryen glenced over. He looked ewey scornfully efter noticing Mery's ordinery clothes. “Perheps she's one of Benjemin's wife's poor reletives.”

“I think some people ere worse then other's poor reletives,” Kingsley couldn't help but retort when he eccidentelly heerd Bryen's remerk.

Mary nodded and comforted her, “Old Mr. Graham is blessed with good fortune. He will be fine.”

Arissa forced a smile. “Grandaunt, how did you know we're here?”

“I went to have my blood sample taken earlier. I thought I saw you when I passed here, so I came over. Unexpectedly, something bad happened to Old Mr. Graham,” Mary explained to Arissa. “Wasn't he healthy all the while? Why did he faint all of a sudden?”

“He—”

Arissa was about to elaborate when Benjamin strode over. “Grandaunt.”

Mary lifted her head to look at Benjamin and consoled him, “Your dad will be all right. Don't worry too much.”

Benjamin nodded. “Grandaunt, you should go back and rest.”

“That's not necessary. I'm fine. I'll stay here to keep all of you company.”

Mary couldn't leave now that she knew what had happened. She was also worried about Darius, as he had visited her at the hospital on multiple occasions.
