NovelEnglish“Well, according to the results of the examination, it's the same
as before and hasn't worsened.”
Avrissa broke into a smile. She was relieved by the news.
“Why didn't you wake me up in the moming? | overslept
because of you!”
Benjamin snorted. “How is it my fault? | didn't do anything!”
Avrissa's ears burned. She quickly snuck a glance in Edwin's
direction and saw that the latter was tidying up the kitchen.
Gosh, his words are so suggestive.
“All right. | want to continue with my breakfast.”
“Okay,” Benjamin grunted but didn't end the call.
Avrissa cocked a brow. “Have you and the children had your
breakfast?”
“They're having it with Grandaunt right now,” Benjamin
answered casually.
“Aren't you having anything?” Arissa sensed that something
was amiss.
“Yeah,” Benjamin said. “I'm on my way to work.”
Avrissa knitted her brows. “Work is important, but your health is
‘even more so. You'd better get
something to eat before starting work, or you may end up
having gastric.”

Benjamin was delighted by the concern she showed him.
“Okay!”
Cognizant of%enjamin's good mood, Ethen looked in the
rearview mirror.
“I'l have breakfast if you bring it over,” Benjamin requested in
a gentle tone, causing Arissa's cheeks to burn.
Oh my!
“I still need to go to the hospital.”
“You can go there after bringing me breakfast,” Benjamin
asserted in a deep and domineering voice.
Just as Arissa was pondering upon the route to take between
the hospital and Benjamin's office, he ended the call before
she could reply.
“Edwin, you can have your phone back.”
Edwin came over and took back his phone.
“Mrs. Graham, what did Mr. Graham tell you?”
Faced with Edwin's gleaming eyes, Arissa frowned. “He told
me to send him breakfast.”
Edwin chuckled under his breath and said gleefully, “Mr.
Graham must be missing you already. In that case, you should
bring him breakfast to cheer him up.”
Arissa blushed.
“Edwin, why don't you send it to him?”
Edwin declined, “I can't. If | do so, Mr. Graham will definitely
dock my pay. Since he has specifically requested you to do it,
you should just go since it's not going to take much time. You
can head to the hospital to visit Mdm. Mary once you're done.”
Avrissa felt embarrassed if her colleagues were to see her.
After all, she had already missed work for a few days.
How am | going to explain myself if | suddenly turn up with
breakfast for Benjamin? No one knows about our relationship.
Arissa was filstrated with the issue.
Edwin, however, ignored her concerns, as he was confident
about her.
He went off to prepare and pack Benjamin's breakfast, which
consisted of a bunch of pastries that were good for the
stomach.
After finishing her food, Arissa drank the medicinal soup under
Edwin's watchful eye.
Even though it wasn't as bitter as before, it was impossible for
something that was boiled from a combination of tens of herbs
to taste nice. Just the smell alone was enough to make her
feel nauseous.
“Mrs. Graham, slow down.” Edwin furrowed his brows, worried

With a bitter expression on her face, Arissa pinched her nose
and downed it in one gulp.
Edwin handed her a cup of water and a sweet to cleanse her
palate.
“Mrs. Graham, here's a sweet.”
Avrissa threw it into her mouth without any hesitation.
The next moment, a sweet sensation burst into her mouth and
washed away the bitter aftertaste.
“Edwin, the medicine tastes horrible! It was no longer bitter,
but it ended up tasting worse.”
“Is it still bitter?” Edwin glanced at her.
Arissa shook her head. “No, it's not, but it's more horrible than
before.”
“Huh?” Edwin was shocked.
Heaving a sigh, Arissa turned around and left the dining room.
“Edwin, we'll leave once | get myself changed.” She then ran
upstairs.
Edwin stretched his head to take a look. Is she making an
excuse to throw up the medicine?
Feeling concerned, Edwin went after her.
Nevertheless, he stopped outside the bedroom door and
listened for any movements.
