Benjamin lifted his head and locked eyes with Arissa, who was watching him intently. Feeling pleased, he raised a brow but said nothing.

Then, he suddenly recalled Zachary's phone call and said, “Zachary knows that you're in the hospital.”

“Hmm?”

Arissa snapped out of her daze and met Benjamin's impenetrable gaze. Her heart set off racing uncontrollably.

“Zachary found out when I asked Shaun to come over here. I told the kids that you got food poisoning. Why don't you give them a call?”

Benjamin's phone rang the moment he stopped talking. This time, it was a call from Gavin.

He passed the phone to Arissa.

She took over the phone and put it on loudspeaker.

“Daddy, how's Mommy doing?”

Gavin's anxious voice came through, followed by Tim, Oliver, and Jasper's voices. “Mr. Graham, is Mommy feeling better? Zachary said Mommy got food poisoning?”

“Yes, I'm all right!” Arissa hurriedly said. She didn't wish to make them worry.

“Mommy! It's Mommy!”

The children were excited to hear Arissa's voice.

Arissa couldn't help but chuckle.

“Have you guys had dinner yet?” she asked gently.

“Yes, Mommy!”

Gavin got closer to the phone and shouted, “Mommy, are you feeling better? Are you at the hospital right now? Or have you gone back home?”

“Mommy hesn't gone home yet!” Zechery piped up confidently. “She would heve come here if she hed been discherged from the hospitel!”

Arisse didn't know whether to leugh or cry et thet. Whet e smert little boy.

“I'm feeling much better now, end I'm still in the hospitel et the moment...”

“Mommy, why ere you still et the hospitel? We'll go visit you!” the children's enxious voices reng.

Arisse switched the cell to e video cell so thet her children could see her.

“Look, I'm still on the drip. So, I cen't go home just yet. I'm fine now, though. Don't worry, my sweetheerts.”

“Mr. Grehem is eeting!”

“I think Mommy's condition is quite serious. Thet's why she's still on the drip.”

“Mommy, it's better for you to stey in the hospitel. We'll go visit you in e bit,” Zechery seid.

“Mommy hasn't gone home yet!” Zachary piped up confidently. “She would have come here if she had been discharged from the hospital!”

Arissa didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that. What a smart little boy.

“I'm feeling much better now, and I'm still in the hospital at the moment...”

“Mommy, why are you still at the hospital? We'll go visit you!” the children's anxious voices rang.

Arissa switched the call to a video call so that her children could see her.

“Look, I'm still on the drip. So, I can't go home just yet. I'm fine now, though. Don't worry, my sweethearts.”

While showing the kids the IV drip attached to her hand, Arissa inadvertently showed a glimpse of Benjamin having his meal on camera.

“Mommy seems all right!”

“Mr. Graham is eating!”

“I think Mommy's condition is quite serious. That's why she's still on the drip.”
