Chapter 759 The Children Care For Him
Benjamin rubbed his tummy and replied, “I’m okay!” The corner of Arissa’s lips twitched as she knew the man was
trying to act tough. “You aren’t supposed to have spicy food! See? You must have worsened your condition,” she
grumbled in disapproval.
While nagging at him, she still poured him a glass of water. “Drink some water,” she ordered. Benjamin emptied the
glass and lost appetite to eat anything else.
Arissa could tell how uncomfortable he felt and advised him, “Why don’t you wash up and get some rest?”
“Daddy, are you okay?” Gavin hopped off his chair and rushed to Benjamin’s side. “Yes, I am,” Benjamin assured
the young boy while caressing his head.
“Mr. Graham, you should be honest!” Zachary came over too and stared sternly at Benjamin. Meanwhile, Tim
frowned and urged, “If you are not feeling well, you should see a doctor.”
“Yes, I will.” Benjamin nodded with a smile. “Mr. Graham, you should go lie down then!”
It was Oliver’s turn to express concern. “You shouldn’t try to put up a brave front, Mr. Graham. If you are feeling
unwell, you have to seek medical assistance. You will get better after taking some medicine,” Jasper advised.

The way the six children showed their concern touched Benjamin’s heart.
“I do feel a little uncomfortable, but don’t worry. It’s nothing serious.”
“Mr. Graham, maybe you should eat more. Who knows, but it might help relieve the heat.”
Immediately, Zachary scooped up some mild food that was suitable for Benjamin. “You should eat this!”
A surge of warmth enveloped Benjamin like a hug. “You can have it. I’m not hungry.”
“No, you should have this. That way, you won’t feel as terrible,” Zachary insisted.
Arissa watched the children fuss over Benjamin and said, “Zachary is right. Maybe you should eat more to soothe
your stomach.”
Given the situation, Benjamin could only heed their instructions and help himself to more food.
At the same time, Arissa gestured to the children. “All right, you guys. Eat up and prepare for bed.”
Obediently, the six children returned to their seats to finish their meals.
At that moment, Edwin placed a pill bottle on the table and told Benjamin, “Mr. Graham, you’ll feel better after
taking your meds.”
Benjamin knitted his brows, and Arissa took note of the slight change in his expression.
“Edwin is right. You should take your meds after the meal,” Arissa persuaded.
Benjamin merely glanced at her in response.
Arissa promptly looked away.
As the six children continued to eat, they kept tabs on Benjamin, wanting to ensure he was feeling okay.
Benjamin could tell how worried they were and warmly reassured them, “I am all right. Don’t worry!”
“Hmph! We aren’t worried.” Zachary snorted, pretending as if he couldn’t care less.
“Exactly! We’re worried about Mommy. If you fall sick, Mommy will have to overwork herself to care for you,”
added Jasper, curling his lips in disdain.
“Yes, this isn’t about you. We only feel bad for Mommy,” Oliver echoed.
Gavin also commented, “Stop flattering yourself!”
The children’s defensive responses made Arissa let out an amused chuckle.
Benjamin furrowed his brows and scanned the children as well as Arissa before a glint flashed across his eyes.
Suddenly, he bent forward and acted as if he was in pain.
Instantly, the six children widened their eyes in shock, concern written all over their faces.
The sight made Benjamin happy.

the hospital!”
“No, it’s all right. I’ll be okay after taking some medicine,” Benjamin casually replied before helping himself to more
food.
He then drank some milkshake and cringed when he realized it was too sweet for him. Thus, he placed the
milkshake in front of Arissa and said, “You can have it.”
Arissa glanced at him. “This is quite sweet. I don’t think you are used to it, so you shouldn’t touch it.”
She pushed aside the dishes that he couldn’t eat.
“Should I cook you some pasta instead?”
Benjamin made a face. He already had pasta in the afternoon, so he didn’t feel like having the same thing again.
“No, it’s okay. I don’t usually have supper, anyway.”
Benjamin stopped after having his fill and watched Arissa and the kids enjoy themselves.
“Remember to take your medicine. Then, you can take a warm bath and head to bed. You will feel better
afterward,” Arissa reminded.
“Okay,” Benjamin acknowledged but did not budge.
