Chapter 274 Held On To Her Clenched Fist
Arissa stared at Benjamin happily.
“See, the doctor said you will recover today.”
Benjamin stared at Arissa, who was grinning widely and snorted. He proceeded to lean against the
headboard.
“Anyway, it’s time to take your pills.”
Arissa poured him a glass of hot water and brought his medicine over.
Benjamin did not say anything further and took his pills like he was supposed to.
“Do you still remember what you promised me yesterday?”
He decided to mention about yesterday’s promise since he had nothing better to do at the moment.
His question caught Arissa slightly off guard. It took her a while before she recalled what he was
referring to and smiled awkwardly.
“I’ll whip up something delicious for you later, okay?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn’t have to cook him breakfast since Kingsley and Shaun already brought food over in the
morning.
“Didn’t you say I’ll get discharged today?” Benjamin asked in a flat tone.
“Whatever you say, Graham. It’ll be best if you can get discharged today. I’ll whip you something
delicious when we get home. If not, I’ll make you whatever you want later and bring it over to you,”
Arissa coaxed.
Before long, the nurse pushed a cart into the ward and gave Benjamin his injection.
Arissa’s heart ached for him when she saw that he was being injected in the same arm.
“Graham, why don’t you inject on the other arm?”
Surely, it’ll hurt if he kept injecting the needle into the same arm.
Benjamin gave her a look and extended his left arm over to the nurse. “Just do it on this arm.”
Arissa was bereft of speech.
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
“It’s not the same spot anyway,” Benjamin replied faintly.
The nurse gave a slight chuckle as she injected into another vein.
“Be careful not to touch it.”
She soon left with the cart after making sure everything was fine.
Arissa came over and placed a pillow under Benjamin’s arm to make him feel more comfortable.
He stared at her. “Where did you live with the kids before this?”
Arissa paused, confused as to why he would suddenly ask her such things.
“We stayed in a small town far from here at first. I brought them out of the country after a while.”
She had to take precautions since her enemies were in the country. Hence, fleeing the country was her
only option.
Benjamin noticed the look of hatred in her eyes. He held on to her clenched fist and gently pried them
open, just in case she hurt herself.
Arissa stared at him blankly.
“I’ll make sure she pays for this,” Benjamin promised before giving Jonathan a call.
“Have you looked into the case?”
Jonathan hasn’t replied to my messages since yesterday. Benjamin frowned.
Since when did he become so inefficient?
“I was just about to call you. Let’s talk later.”
“Meet me at City Hospital then,” Benjamin replied.
“What are you doing in City Hospital?”
Jonathan wasn’t aware that Benjamin had been hospitalized. Regardless, Benjamin couldn’t be

He arched his brow as Arissa reached out for his phone to put it back in its rightful place. “I want to
check my emails.”
Arissa retracted her hand. “Are you done with those documents?”
“Yes,” Benjamin replied.
With that, Arissa left him to his work. She then went over to the balcony to check on the clothes.
Not long after, they were visited by Ethen. He brought some documents and breakfast over, unaware
that they had already eaten.
Benjamin instructed Ethen to take the documents away, gave him a few tasks, and told him to leave
them alone.
“Eat up.”
Arissa’s mouth twitched. “I’m not hungry yet.”
Benjamin simply gave her a look and returned to his work.
Arissa sat down and began to scroll through her phone.
When the smell of food wafted over, she felt the urge to eat even though she wasn’t hungry. Her eyes
lit up when she saw what Ethen had brought them.
Breakfast foods from Drawbridge Dining! She picked up a fork and dug in.
Benjamin looked up and smiled when he saw her eating sneakily.
