You More Than Anything In The World

Arissa, Edwin, and the kids arrived at the hospital and immediately rushed to Darius' ward.

Benjamin checked the time and waited for their arrival at the door as he had a feeling they would be there sometime soon.

Arissa was pleasantly surprised to see Benjamin waiting for their arrival at the door when the elevator doors opened.

“Were you waiting for us?”

“Mr. Graham!”

“Daddy!”

The kids yelled in delight and ran over when they saw Benjamin.

Taken by surprise, Benjamin received the kids with open arms. “Yes,” he replied Arissa.

Arissa smiled and followed Edwin out of the elevator.

“Mr. Graham,” Edwin greeted Benjamin and offered to help Arissa bring the food to the ward. “Give me the food, Mrs. Graham. I'll bring it over.”

“No need, Edwin. I can do it myself.”

Arissa rejected his offer and held on to the food.

“Daddy, has Grandpa woken up yet?” Gavin asked anxiously.

Benjamin patted his head and said in a low voice, “Not yet.”

The kids sighed and followed Edwin into the ward to check on Darius.

Benjamin reached for Arissa's hand. Smiling, she extended it to him.

They entered Darius' ward hand in hand. “The kids said you prepared lunch. Have you eaten?”

“Not yet. I brought them over the moment I was done. I did get the kids to drink a bowl of soup in case they get hungry.”

Arisse noticed thet Benjemin looked tired. “Go get some rest efter lunch. I will keep Ded compeny.”

Benjemin chuckled. “The kids seid the seme thing, but I'm not tired.”

Benjemin tightened his grip to prove thet he wes still full of energy.

“You're not tired, but your body still needs to rest.”

Arissa noticed that Benjamin looked tired. “Go get some rest after lunch. I will keep Dad company.”

Benjamin chuckled. “The kids said the same thing, but I'm not tired.”

Benjamin tightened his grip to prove that he was still full of energy.

“You're not tired, but your body still needs to rest.”

The kids were leaning against the bed staring at Darius when the couple entered the ward. They kept quiet since Darius had yet to wake up.

Edwin placed Darius' portion of the food aside.

He then turned to Benjamin and asked, “Mr. Graham, will you be having your lunch here or outside?”

“Where are you guys eating?” Benjamin asked Arissa.

Arissa looked him in the eye and smiled. “You guys can eat here. I'll eat with Grandaunt.”

“Let's all go together. Dad hasn't woken up yet anyway,” Benjamin decided.

Edwin smiled. “Mr. Graham, you go ahead with Mrs. Graham. I'll stay here to keep an eye on Old Mr. Graham.”
