Chapter 1060 Grape Seeds

After their meal, Arissa rested for a while before calling Darius.

At that moment, Edwin had just arrived with food, and everyone was about to start eating.

Judging by Darius' voice, Arissa could tell that he was getting better, so she was no longer

as worried.

“Are you feeling better today, Dad? Benjamin and I are busy, so we can't visit you today,”

Arissa said apologetically to prevent Darius from getting disappointed.

“I'm doing great! Don't worry about me. The kids told me you guys hurried out on a

business trip last night. I was wondering where you guys were!” Darius smiled, and he

didn't seem to mind.

Arissa chuckled upon hearing that. Luckily, the kids didn't tell him I'm in the hospital.

“Dad, rest well. Benjamin and I will visit you as soon as we're done with our work!”

“Carry on with whatever you guys need to do. Everyone's keeping an eye on me at the

hospital. Even Gavin and the kids are here! Don't worry about me.” Darius was overjoyed

because he was surrounded by his grandchildren.

“We're about to eat. Your grandaunt is here as well. Have you guys eaten?” Darius asked.

“We have. Enjoy your meal, Dad! I should hang up now.” Arissa hung up the phone so that

Darius and the rest could eat in peace.

Arissa had wanted to call Mary after calling Darius. However, she changed her mind after

finding out that Mary was with Darius.

“Here! Take your medicine.” Benjamin delivered her a bowl of medicine.

The pungent smell of the medicine threw Arissa off, and she avoided it with a frown on her

face.

Benjamin found it funny when he saw the look of disgust on her face. While sitting next to

the bed, he stirred the bowl of medicine with a spoon and asked, “Do you want me to feed

you, or do you want to drink it yourself?”

Benjamin had a mischievous look in his eyes as he stared at her.

“I'll drink it myself!” Arissa replied in frustration. Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't need to take

medicine?

Arissa glanced at the bowl of liquid medicine and shot Benjamin a pitiful look. “Can't I just

consume the capsule?”

Benjamin consoled gently, “Shaun said that consuming it this way is more effective.”

Arissa had no choice but to take a deep breath, take the bowl, and down it while pinching

her nose.

The moment she finished the bowl of medicine, Benjamin quickly gave her some water to

cushion the bitterness in her mouth.

“Don't you have any candies?” She stared blankly at Benjamin.

Benjamin felt bad for her and patted her head. “We ran out of candies at home.”

He turned around to take a bunch of grapes. He plucked one of them out and fed it to her

after peeling the skin.

“Eat this. This is better than candies.”

Arissa ate the grape immediately, and its sweetness made her feel better. “Oh, it's

sweet!”

Seeing that she was about to spit the seeds out, Benjamin reached out his hand to her

mouth.

Arissa was stunned. “Give me some tissue.” I can't spit the seeds into his hand. Even if he

doesn't mind, I'll still feel bad!

“Just spit it out. I'll wash my hands later.”

Upon taking another look at his face, Arissa could tell that he really didn't mind it, so she

lowered her head and spat out the grape seeds.

Benjamin went on to peel a few more grapes for her.

“Just give me some tissue, and I'll eat on my own. I'm sure you have things to attend to.”

Arissa took the grapes and told Benjamin to go back to work.

“It's fine.” Benjamin continued peeling the grapes and feeding her.

Arissa only started eating on her own when Ethen came to look for Benjamin.

Indeed, grapes are nutritious for pregnant women.

“Mrs. Graham,” Ethen greeted.

“You're here!” Arissa felt awkward because she wasn't used to how Ethen addressed her.

After all, they were colleagues.

“Just eat a few more and stop. Otherwise, you'll feel bloated,” Benjamin advised. He then

wiped his hands with napkins and gestured for Ethen to report his work progress.

“Okay.” Arissa stuck her tongue out and carried on eating.

She didn't bother peeling those grapes. Instead, she would just spit out the skin and the

seeds.
