You More Than Anything In The World

In the morning, the six children, Darius, and Mary showed up in the ward to keep Arissa company.

Arissa asked Tim, “Tim, did you have fun at the gathering with your grandpa last night?”

Tim glanced at her, lowered his head, and responded softly, “Yes. There was a lot of delicious food, and Grandpa's friends also introduced me to many new dishes.”

On the way there, Darius, Gavin, and the others had briefed Tim to ensure their cover story was flawless.

Arissa was relieved. Noticing Tim had his head down, she thought he was shy, so she encouraged him, “You should go out more with your grandpa in the future and get to know more of his friends.”

Tim shot a furtive look at his mother, feeling a little guilty. However, compared to making her worry, he would rather tell her the white lie.

The kids left after accompanying her to finish her breakfast, but they didn't go to school.

Darius was afraid a kidnapping incident like yesterday would happen again, so he brought them back to the Old Manor.

Arissa didn't sense anything amiss. Benjamin didn't go to the company and stayed with her as usual in the hospital.

Later in the day, Shaun came to give her an infusion.

Not long after, Arissa drifted off to sleep.

When Ethen came to deliver documents to Benjamin, he reported the work progress to the latter in the corridor.

“Mr. Graham, how should we handle the situation now?” Ethen sought Benjamin's advice in an undertone.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. “How are they doing now?”

“They were just sent to the hospital. Both are down with cold and fever.”

Ethen also reported the matter about Justin and Julian getting featured on the news to his boss. “Mr. Graham, should we suppress the trending news?”

Benjamin snorted. “That's not necessary.”

Ethen glanced toward the ward and reminded Benjamin, “Mr. Graham, aren't you afraid Mrs. Graham will find out?”

Benjamin arched his brow, seemingly unfazed. “The news doesn't mention the duo doing anything to Tim and Zachary anyway.”

Mr. Graham has a point. Sensing Benjamin's indifference, Ethen didn't speak further. “I'll go inside to visit Mrs. Graham.”

“She's asleep.” Benjamin turned to his subordinate. “Don't come to the hospital unless necessary. Arrange more people to watch over Gavin and the kids.”

“Understood!” Ethen nodded and turned around to leave.

Right after he left, Bradley came to visit Arissa. However, he didn't get to meet her and was also sent away by Benjamin.

That day, Arissa didn't see many people.

While playing with her phone, she suddenly saw a pop-up news and gossiped with Benjamin about it. “Benjamin, why were Justin and Julian found on the beach together? Were they kidnapped?”

“I'm not sure.” Benjamin was uninterested.

She glanced at him, then at the news report, which didn't reveal any important information.

Nonetheless, she couldn't resist a touch of schadenfreude when she saw the two in a pathetic state. “Perhaps they did too many bad things, and someone took revenge against them because of how despicable they are.”
