“I'll ask Dr. Bailey later to confirm whether you're fit to be discharged, Grandaunt. Also, you don't need to worry about the cost of staying here. It's important that you recover well.”

Considering Mary might be worried about spending too much on hospital fees, Arissa had no choice but to persuade her.

“She's recovering quite well. I was also present when Shaun performed a routine examination on her. However, I think it's best for her to do a full body checkup before she gets discharged!” Darius said to Arissa.

Arissa nodded.

“Whatever you guys decide is fine by me.” Mary did not insist on being discharged from the hospital as she did not want the others to worry about her.

Arissa then chatted with the elders for a while. She had also discussed Mary's discharge from the hospital with Shaun when he came over to the ward.

Shaun was well aware of Mary's current condition since he had been following up on her.

“Don't worry, Arissa. Mdm. Mary has been recovering quite well. I'll bring her for a body checkup now. If there are no major problems, she can be discharged.”

“Thank you!” Arissa said gratefully, hoping that Shaun would take good care of Mary.

“You're most welcome, Arissa. If you really would like to thank me, prepare a delicious meal for me when I visit you in the future,” Shaun whispered to Arissa, afraid Benjamin would hear him.

“Sure. I'll make whatever you want to eat!”


Arissa readily agreed. It was a request that she could fulfill easily.

Meanwhile, Darius and Mary looked at them in amusement.

“Old Mr. Graham, Mdm. Mary, I'll take you both for a medical examination now!” Shaun said as he gestured for the elders to leave the ward.

“Do I really have to go too?” Darius glared at Shaun.

“Don't you want to be discharged? It's a must for you to get a medical examination. Otherwise, Benjamin will skin me alive if you're feeling unwell again.”

Shaun then pointed toward Benjamin, who was busy with his work.

Darius' mouth twitched as he peered at his son. “Fine, fine! I'll go get myself examined!”

Arissa smiled as she watched them leave. Despite wanting to finish watching her movie, she wasn't able to do so.

Sneaking a glance at Benjamin, Arissa felt hesitant to ask for his help because he seemed busy.

She thought of going to the bathroom by herself. However, Benjamin's voice was heard just after she sat up.

“You need to use the bathroom?”

“Y-Yes...” She stared blankly as he approached her. Did he grow a few extra pairs of eyes? I saw him concentrating on his work just now. While the others were talking to me, he didn't bother to join in the conversation either.

“Why are you in a daze?” Benjamin asked as he stroked her nose affectionately.

Pursing her lips, Arissa mumbled, “Weren't you busy with your work just now? How did you know I need to go to the bathroom?”

Benjamin chuckled softly and pointed at his own eyes.

“I have good peripheral vision!”

Arissa's lips twitched. “You're certainly good at multitasking!”

Benjamin bent over to pick her up, then waited for her to hold the drip before turning around to head to the bathroom.
