Chapter 1057 Work Is Secondary

Benjamin listened intently as Jonathan spoke about Danna's case.

“Boss, the trial is tomorrow. You and Arissa...”

“She's not going!” Benjamin replied firmly. She was pregnant and deemed unsuitable to be present in such a hostile

environment.

Jonathan looked at him calmly, silently inquiring whether he would attend the court hearing.

“I'll leave you to handle the case. I only care about the outcome!” Benjamin looked stern, and his intention was

clear.

The woman could simply languish in jail for all he cared. The process leading up to that was inconsequential.

He had faith in Jonathan's capabilities.

Jonathan nodded and assured, “Boss, you can count on me!”

“You should head back and prepare for the trial. Is everything ready?” Benjamin glanced at him.

“Everything has been sorted out. I will review the case again today.”

Benjamin nodded. There was nothing else to be said.

After staying for a while, Jonathan and Shaun left.

Since the latter was heading to the hospital, Benjamin had him bring the six little ones and Bradley over.

The hospital room became quiet, with Arissa lying in bed receiving her IV drip.

Benjamin sat by her bed, holding and stroking her hand.

“Does it hurt?”

Arissa looked at his furrowed brow and smiled weakly. “No. It's just a little cold!”

Benjamin held her hand in his, rubbing it gently to keep it warm.

“I'll get you a cup of hot water!” He got up and poured some hot water, then waited for it to cool a little before

feeding it to her.

The temperature in the hospital room was low, and she was also receiving her IV drip.

After drinking the water, Arissa felt much better and even started sweating.

She lay comfortably on the bed and assured the man guarding her bedside, “I'm feeling much better. You can go

about your work.”

The man tenderly tucked her in, then eased the drip rate and continued to massage her hands.

Arissa could feel the warmth emanating from his palms, and her heart was filled with satisfaction.

As time passed, she gradually fell back asleep, her drowsiness taking over her once again.

A while later, Ethen sought out Benjamin to update him on their work progress. By then, Arissa was already fast

asleep.

When she finally stirred awake, the IV drip had finished, and Benjamin was intently working beside her.

Arissa lay on the bed for a while so as not to disturb him.

However, Benjamin sensed that she had woken up and turned to look at her.

He got up and walked over, bending down to touch her face. “How do you feel?”

“Pretty good, but my back is sore from lying down,” Arissa replied with a soft grin. She sounded as though she was

whining like a child.

The man's eyes flickered. “Let me give you a massage!”

Arissa smiled sweetly and glanced at him. “I want to use the bathroom!”

Benjamin assisted her to sit up and draped his coat over her shoulders.

“I'm not cold!” Despite her protest, she still cooperated and put on the coat.

“Wear it so you don't catch a cold,” Benjamin reminded her softly as he buttoned her up before carrying her to the

bathroom.

Arissa felt like a little helpless and vulnerable toddler when Benjamin carried her in his arms.

“I should have no problem walking slowly by myself...”

However, the man's piercing gaze met hers as he warned, “There's no need for you to walk by yourself when I'm

around.”

Arissa bit her lip, knowing better than to argue. “Okay...”

“I'll carry you wherever you want to go.”

A warm sensation filled Arissa's heart as she looked at him. “Will I disturb you?”

Benjamin arched an eyebrow, his gaze unwavering.

“I'm here to accompany you. Work is secondary!”

Arissa smiled gleefully. “All right, all right. I'll just let you know if there's anything.”

After acknowledging her words, Benjamin put her down and said, “Go on and use the bathroom now.”
