Chapter 1086 A Secret Visit
“Mr. Graham, is Mrs. Graham feeling better?” asked William worriedly.
“She's much better. She could've been discharged today, but I had her stay another couple of days in the hospital,”
responded Benjamin in reassurance.
“That's good, then!” William was visibly relieved. “Oh, by the way, Zayden came over to look for Old Mr. Graham
earlier. It was very upsetting for Old Mr. Graham.”
“Is Dad all right?” Benjamin's brows knitted into a frown. Zayden! That man just doesn't know when to give up!
“He's better now and has fallen asleep,” reported William and subsequently explained briefly the happenings
earlier.
Benjamin's face darkened. Glancing at Arissa and seeing that she was still sound asleep, he snuck a visit to Darius'
ward with William.
After seeing with his own eyes that Darius looked fine and was sleeping soundly, he finally felt relieved.
He hung around in the ward for a moment before exiting, instructing the bodyguards to guard the door well. Then
he turned to William, reminding him, “Don't let my dad know that I've been here.”

back.”
“In another couple of days,” uttered Benjamin tersely as he shot a final glance at the ward and then turned to
leave.
William gazed at him until he stepped into the elevator before going back into the ward to look after Darius.
By the time Benjamin returned to the ward upstairs, Arissa had awakened and was just about to use the bathroom.
As Benjamin entered the room, she asked, “Where have you been?”
Seeing her trying to get out of bed, Benjamin strode toward her at once and bent down to help her with her shoes.
“I went downstairs to have a look at Dad.”
Smiling, Arissa hooked her arms around his neck, and he scooped her up in his arms.
“How's Dad? Is he any better?” Arissa was concerned about Darius' state of health.
“Yeah. It's just that Zayden and Vivian came to see him earlier. William said that got him worked up quite a bit.”
Arissa's brow furrowed into a frown as hatred surfaced in her eyes. “How dare they still come to see Dad! What a
shameless couple!”
“But Dad didn't entertain them and told them to leave.” Benjamin stroked her head soothingly when he saw the
anger on her face.
Arissa used to be uncertain about Darius' attitude, but now, she was willing to believe that he would not help the
Adams family.
“Yes, Dad definitely wouldn't bother about them. Otherwise, he would have said something.”
If Danna had not crossed the line, it was still possible that Darius might have helped her for the sake of the good
relationship they used to have.
However, some people were simply doomed to destruction because of their own evil actions and poor decisions.
She asked for this.
“Let's not talk about this now,” said Benjamin as they arrived at the bathroom.
Arissa hurriedly relieved herself and allowed him to carry her back to the bed. “I could've just walked.”
“No. You mustn't walk until you've fully recovered,” stated Benjamin in a non-negotiable tone.
Glancing at the domineering man, Arissa replied docilely, “I know that. Didn't I wait for you to return just now?”
Benjamin glared at her. “Hmph! Don't think I didn't notice that you were trying to go to the bathroom yourself
earlier!”
Arissa stuck out her tongue cheekily and replied in a soft voice, “Well, I didn't know where you went.”

“What are you looking at?” Benjamin flicked her nose affectionately.
“Why don't we go home now?” Arissa suggested. She knew that he wouldn't be able to work if he spent all day
keeping her company in the hospital.
“We've talked about this. You'll stay here for another few days until you've fully recovered.” Benjamin pinched her
cheek lightly.
Arissa pouted. “Yes, I know. I'm just worried that you'll be tired. You won't be able to work if you stay here with me
all day.”
The edges of Benjamin's thin lips lifted slightly. “Don't you worry about my work. I'll attend to the urgent matters
and hand the rest to Ethen and the others. They'll be fine without me.”
“Then why are you always so busy?” she asked with her gaze fixated on him. She knew more than anyone else
what a workaholic he was.
Benjamin looked deeply into her eyes, his heart brimming with contentment.
“That was before I met you. Now that I have you, my life has become much more interesting.”
A blush instantly crept onto Arissa's face.
