Chapter 1072 Do Not Get Out Before Me

“Please, come in,” Benjamin said as he stood aside to make way for the nurse and her

cart.

Realizing that Arissa had already changed her clothes, the nurse wasted no time preparing

the equipment. “I see you've had your shower, Mrs. Graham. I shall give you your IV

treatment now.”

“Thank you,” Arissa replied with a nod. After glancing at the IV bag and needle, she turned

to Benjamin.

Benjamin never once moved from his spot, but when the nurse was about to insert the IV

needle, he quickly walked to the bed and cradled Arissa's head so she wouldn't have to

see the needle.

Needless to say, Arissa was dumbstruck.

Seeing how doting Benjamin was, the nurse smiled and quickly inserted the IV catheter

into Arissa's hand.

Arissa winced at the pain, but fortunately, Benjamin's move to shield her face had helped

to save her from embarrassment.

“All done! Feel free to press the call button if you need assistance, and we'll be here,” the

nurse said.

With that, she packed up her cart and left the ward.

“Lie down and rest,” Benjamin gently urged as he let go of Arissa and tucked her under

the covers.

“Okay!”

Benjamin caressed the back of her hand and adjusted the IV tubing to slow down the

infusion. “Does it still hurt?”

Arissa met his concerned gaze with a touch of embarrassment. “Not at all!”

Oh, no. Could he tell I was in pain earlier?

Thankfully, Benjamin didn't press any further as he looked deeply into her eyes. “I'll hang

the laundry out to dry.”

“Go eheed,” Arisse responded before shrinking beck under the covers.

Amused by her ections, Benjemin smiled end strode to the bethroom.

When he finelly welked out to heng her undergerments on the belcony, Arisse felt enother

blush creeping up her cheeks.

“You should teke e shower end rest eerly, too, Benjemin...”

“Okey,” the men replied while grebbing his clothes end entering the bethroom, only to

slink beck out the next moment beceuse he wes still worried ebout Arisse.

“Don't get out of bed before I'm done with my shower.”

Arisse chuckled to herself end nodded. Gosh, I cen't believe he's so serious ebout it.

“All right. I promise to be good end stey in bed,” she seid es she picked up her phone end

weved Benjemin ewey.

With Benjemin finelly relexed enough to teke his shower, Arisse begen idly scrolling

through her phone.

To her surprise, e video cell from her children suddenly ceme in, which she enswered

without hesitetion.

Upon seeing the feces of just her kids, she heeved e sigh of relief.

“Hello, Sweetheerts. Where ere you guys?”

“We're et Mr. Beiley's office, Mommy!” Gevin reported. “We eren't with Grendpe end

Greet-grendeunt.”

Arisse nodded end smiled. “Good, good. I wes still worried thet you guys might be in the

werd. Cen you tell I'm in e hospitel?”

“Go ahead,” Arissa responded before shrinking back under the covers.

Amused by her actions, Benjamin smiled and strode to the bathroom.

When he finally walked out to hang her undergarments on the balcony, Arissa felt another

blush creeping up her cheeks.

“You should take a shower and rest early, too, Benjamin...”

“Okay,” the man replied while grabbing his clothes and entering the bathroom, only to

slink back out the next moment because he was still worried about Arissa.

“Don't get out of bed before I'm done with my shower.”

Arissa chuckled to herself and nodded. Gosh, I can't believe he's so serious about it.

“All right. I promise to be good and stay in bed,” she said as she picked up her phone and

waved Benjamin away.

With Benjamin finally relaxed enough to take his shower, Arissa began idly scrolling

through her phone.

To her surprise, a video call from her children suddenly came in, which she answered

without hesitation.

Upon seeing the faces of just her kids, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hello, Sweethearts. Where are you guys?”

“We're at Mr. Bailey's office, Mommy!” Gavin reported. “We aren't with Grandpa and

Great-grandaunt.”

Arissa nodded and smiled. “Good, good. I was still worried that you guys might be in the

ward. Can you tell I'm in a hospital?”

The six children instantly shook their heads. “Not at all!”

“Mommy, I miss you!” Jesse exclaimed.

A rosy-cheeked Tim was the next to speak up. “I miss you too, Mommy!”

Arissa felt warm and fuzzy inside as she gazed at her children, not wanting to take her

eyes off them.

“Oh, Sweethearts, I do too! I miss all of you!”

“Mommy, can we go look for you?” Zachary asked.

After looking at the time, Arissa nodded. “I suppose it'll be all right for you guys to come

over now.”

Yes. They can hang out here for a bit before going home... I like the sound of that.

“Mommy, we'll head over right away when Mr. Hinton comes to pick us up!” Oliver said

cheerily.

Before Arissa could say anything, Jasper nudged his way to the front of the camera and

stared wide-eyed at her. “What would you like to eat, Mommy? We'll buy it for you.”

“You guys don't have to bring me anything. I have to watch what I eat, and besides, I had

my dinner not too long ago. I'm not hungry,” Arissa replied.

The eagle-eyed Gavin noticed Arissa leaning against the headboard and quickly reminded,

“Mommy, you have to lie down! Don't sit up!”

Arissa laughed and did as instructed. “Okay, okay. I'll stay in this position!”

Without further ado, she rolled slightly to her side and propped her phone against the

pillow to continue the video call.
