Chapter 1060 Grape Seeds
After their meal, Arissa rested for a while before calling Darius.
At that moment, Edwin had just arrived with food, and everyone was about to start eating.
Judging by Darius' voice, Arissa could tell that he was getting better, so she was no longer as worried.
“Are you feeling better today, Dad? Benjamin and I are busy, so we can't visit you today,” Arissa said apologetically
to prevent Darius from getting disappointed.
“I'm doing great! Don't worry about me. The kids told me you guys hurried out on a business trip last night. I was
wondering where you guys were!” Darius smiled, and he didn't seem to mind.
Arissa chuckled upon hearing that. Luckily, the kids didn't tell him I'm in the hospital.
“Dad, rest well. Benjamin and I will visit you as soon as we're done with our work!”
“Carry on with whatever you guys need to do. Everyone's keeping an eye on me at the hospital. Even Gavin and the
kids are here! Don't worry about me.” Darius was overjoyed because he was surrounded by his grandchildren.

“We have. Enjoy your meal, Dad! I should hang up now.” Arissa hung up the phone so that Darius and the rest could
eat in peace.
Arissa had wanted to call Mary after calling Darius. However, she changed her mind after finding out that Mary was
with Darius.
“Here! Take your medicine.” Benjamin delivered her a bowl of medicine.
The pungent smell of the medicine threw Arissa off, and she avoided it with a frown on her face.
Benjamin found it funny when he saw the look of disgust on her face. While sitting next to the bed, he stirred the
bowl of medicine with a spoon and asked, “Do you want me to feed you, or do you want to drink it yourself?”
Benjamin had a mischievous look in his eyes as he stared at her.
“I'll drink it myself!” Arissa replied in frustration. Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't need to take medicine?
Arissa glanced at the bowl of liquid medicine and shot Benjamin a pitiful look. “Can't I just consume the capsule?”
Benjamin consoled gently, “Shaun said that consuming it this way is more effective.”
Arissa had no choice but to take a deep breath, take the bowl, and down it while pinching her nose.
The moment she finished the bowl of medicine, Benjamin quickly gave her some water to cushion the bitterness in
her mouth.
“Don't you have any candies?” She stared blankly at Benjamin.
Benjamin felt bad for her and patted her head. “We ran out of candies at home.”
He turned around to take a bunch of grapes. He plucked one of them out and fed it to her after peeling the skin.
“Eat this. This is better than candies.”
Arissa ate the grape immediately, and its sweetness made her feel better. “Oh, it's sweet!”
Seeing that she was about to spit the seeds out, Benjamin reached out his hand to her mouth.
Arissa was stunned. “Give me some tissue.” I can't spit the seeds into his hand. Even if he doesn't mind, I'll still feel
bad!
“Just spit it out. I'll wash my hands later.”
Upon taking another look at his face, Arissa could tell that he really didn't mind it, so she lowered her head and spat

Benjamin went on to peel a few more grapes for her.
“Just give me some tissue, and I'll eat on my own. I'm sure you have things to attend to.” Arissa took the grapes
and told Benjamin to go back to work.
“It's fine.” Benjamin continued peeling the grapes and feeding her.
Arissa only started eating on her own when Ethen came to look for Benjamin.
Indeed, grapes are nutritious for pregnant women.
“Mrs. Graham,” Ethen greeted.
“You're here!” Arissa felt awkward because she wasn't used to how Ethen addressed her. After all, they were
colleagues.
“Just eat a few more and stop. Otherwise, you'll feel bloated,” Benjamin advised. He then wiped his hands with
napkins and gestured for Ethen to report his work progress.
“Okay.” Arissa stuck her tongue out and carried on eating.
She didn't bother peeling those grapes. Instead, she would just spit out the skin and the seeds.
