Chapter 1091 Keeping A Secret

The two elderly people were delighted to see the children.

They asked them about their life in school, and the children happily told them about it. The atmosphere in the ward

was lively.

When Edwin brought food over, the children thought of heading upstairs to have the meal with their mother.

However, Darius stopped them.

“Sweethearts, wash your hands. It's time to eat.”

At that, the children shared a look with each other. They could not leave right then, or else they would raise their

grandfather's suspicions.

“Okay,” Gavin answered before leading his younger siblings to wash their hands.

While Darius and Mary were distracted, the children whispered among themselves.

“Do we have to eat here?” Zachary started.

Gavin answered, “Grandpa's asking us to eat. If we go and look for Mommy now, he'll surely be suspicious!”

Oliver sighed. “We should have found an excuse to leave earlier.”

“Let's look for Mommy after we eat, then,” Tim suggested.

Jasper bobbed his head. “That's all we can do, or else Grandpa's going to find out that Mommy's in the hospital.”

“Then let's hurry up and eat so that we can go to Mommy as soon as possible,” Jesse said.

When Darius realized that the children were not back yet, he walked over and said to them, “What are you

mumbling about? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat.”

The children giggled sheepishly before rushing off to wash their hands.

Meanwhile, Benjamin and Arissa were eating as well, and Benjamin was feeding her soup.

“The kids must be eating with Dad.”

Arissa missed the children and wanted to eat with them. After all, she had not been able to have a proper meal with

them after starting her stay in the hospital.

“It's good that they're eating downstairs. If they come up now, Dad will be suspicious,” Benjamin said as he fed her

another spoonful of soup.

After dinner, Benjamin cleaned up the place and said, “I have to leave for a while. I'm going to look for Shaun.”

“Is something the matter?”

“I need to talk to him about Dad's matter.” Only after tucking her in did he turn to leave the ward.

Arissa watched him until he closed the door.

However, not long after, someone opened the door. She thought it was Benjamin, but it turned out to be Ethen and

Bradley.

“Why are you two together?” Arissa asked, studying them. The two of them seemed to have gotten closer to each

other.

“We just came from the office, Mrs. Graham. Where's Mr. Graham?” Ethen asked.

He was confused to see no sign of Benjamin in the ward.

“He just left to look for Mr. Bailey.”

Ethen nodded, but instead of going to Benjamin, he decided to keep Arissa company with Bradley.

Meanwhile, Benjamin had gone to Shaun to find out more about Darius' condition.

“Can my father be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?” he asked.

Shaun chuckled. “Old Mr. Graham is mostly fine. He's been insisting to go home for the past two days. If you want

him to be discharged, I can arrange for a test tomorrow. If everything's fine, he can go home.”

Benjamin nodded. “Sure.”

Darius had recovered, so naturally, he would have to be discharged from the hospital. If he continued staying, the

chances of him finding out that Arissa was there too would be higher.

Shaun watched Benjamin leave with a smile on his face and shook his head.

When Benjamin returned to the ward, he was greeted by the sight of Arissa, Ethen, and Bradley chatting joyously.

He pursed his lips.

Sensing something amiss about Benjamin, Ethen stood up and greeted, “Mr. Graham.”

“Mr. Graham!” Bradley subconsciously straightened his back as well.

Benjamin raked his gaze across them and asked, “Why are you guys here?”

Ethen gave Benjamin a glance. Knowing that Benjamin did not want them to disturb Arissa, he said cautiously,

“There's something I want to talk to you about.”
