Amidst Benjamin's deep breathing in his sleep, sleepiness

gradually descended upon Arissa.

Before she knew it, she, too, was in dreamland.

‘When she woke up the next day and didn't see Benjamin, she

had a sudden realization. She grabbed the alarm clock beside

her and saw that it was nine o'clock.

“Argh!” Arissa exclaimed as she jumped out of bed. She

hurried into the bathroom before dashing out in the blink of an

eye.

She ran down the stairs, only to be greeted by silence. It was

quiet, with nary a soul in sight.

“Grandaunt? Sweethearts?”

Have they gone to the hospital?

Hearing the sound outside, Edwin rushed out of the kitchen.

‘When he saw Arissa looking around, he informed her at once,

“Ms. York, Mr. Graham has brought everyone to the hospital.”

Arissa was annoyed. “Why didn't they wake me up?”

Why did | oversleep? How could | have not heard anything in

the morning?

She had slept through the entire night uninterrupted.

Edwin smiled. “Mr. Graham said that you were sleeping

soundly and told us not to wake you up. Ms. York, Mdm. Mary

will be staying at the hospital for a while now. You should wash

up while | reheat your breakfast.”

Arissa was embarrassed because of Edwin's nosy gaze.

“What time did they leave?”

“Alittle past six.”

That's early!

Arissa pursed her lips before heading back upstairs to brush

her teeth.

In ten minutes, she got herself dressed and came back down

with her handbag.

“Mrs. Graham, come over and have your breakfast. I'll take

you to the hospital after that.”

Edwin was waiting by the staircase with a smile.

Avrissa felt nonplussed. “Edwin, you're teasing me again by

addressing me as Mrs. Graham.”

Edwin chuckled. “William told me that you promised to register

your marriage with Mr. Graham. Are you going back on your

word?”

Avrissa cleared her throat awkwardly and murmured, “I did that

to pacify Old Mr. Graham.”

Edwin's eyes widened. He said in a serious tone, “Mrs.

Graham, Old Mr. Graham will be saddened if you change your

mind.”

Arissa's lips twitched. She went to the dining room to grab

something to eat along the way.

“Mrs. Graham, you should have your meal here at home. Mr.

Graham has instructed me to boil the medicinal soup for you.

It's ready. You can have it once you finish your breakfast.”

Arissa was stunned. "What medicine is that?”

Edwin answered, “The one you have been taking prior to this.

It's good for regulating your health.”

“Okay.”

Avrissa settled down for breakfast. She could already taste the

bitterness on her tongue.

Edwin was amused when he saw how Arissa was grimacing in

fear of the medicine.

“Mrs. Graham, Mr. Graham has already

gotten Mr. Bailey to adjust the composition of the medicine. It's

not going to be bitter.”

Touched by the gesture, Arissa looked at Edwin. “It's not?”

Edwin nodded. “That's right. It's not. Mr. Bailey assured us of

it. If you still feel that it is, we'll get him to further adjust the

formula.”

Avrissa sighed in her heart as she resigned herself to drinking

the medicine.

While they were eating, Edwin's phone rang. It was Benjamin

on the line.

“Mr. Graham!”

Avrissa looked up.

“Okay. Mrs. Graham just got up and is having breakfast... All

right.”

After exchanging a few words with Benjamin, Edwin handed

the phone to Arissa. “Mrs. Graham, Mr. Graham wants to talk

to you.”

Avrissa felt simply embarrassed.

“Hello?” she answered.

“Are you having breakfast?” Benjamin's deep voice rang out

and traveled into her ears.

“Yeah.”

“Remember to take your medicine once you finish your

breakfast,” Benjamin reminded in a tone that had no room for

dissent.

“Okay.” She let out a cursory acknowledgment.

“Arissa, take your medicine!” Benjamin's voice was deeper by

afew octaves.

“I know,” she answered in resignation.

“Grandaunt has completed her checkup and has been put on a

drip. There's no need for you to hurry over. The kids are here

too. You can come by later or even in the afternoon,” Benjamin

said.

Arissa listened as she ate. “Has Grandaunt's condition

stabilized?”
