Chapter 854


    Benjamin got off work early and left Graham Group.


    “These documents need to be signed by you, Mr. Graham!” Ethen rushed toward Benjamin with a stack


    of documents in his arms.


    “I need to head over to the hospital now.” After putting on his jacket, Benjamin walked out.


    Ethen chased after him. “What about these—”


    Upon taking out a pen, Benjamin signed his name at the bottom of the documents.


    Ethen quickly flipped open all the documents for him to sign.


    “If you don''t have anything going on, how about you join us for dinnerter?” Benjamin asked.


    Ethen''s eyes glimmered. “Where? I''ll join you guys after I finish dealing with stuff!”


    “At Drawbridge Dining!” Benjamin left after putting down his signatures.


    Ethen was delighted to hear that. “Safe travels, Mr. Graham! Do I need to get the car ready for you?”


    “It''s okay.” Benjamin nned to drive his own car.


    After that, Ethen swiftly returned to work and dealt with the documents.


    When Benjamin arrived at the hospital, he still went upstairs to visit Mary.


    The moment he saw Darius, he greeted, “Dad!”


    “You''re off work?” The old man studied his son.


    “Daddy!”


    “Mr. Graham!”


    The children eximed giddily.


    The edges of Benjamin''s lips curved upward as he patted the children''s heads before heading to


    Mary''s bed. “Are you feeling better, Mdm. Mary?”


    “I am! Don''t worry.” Mary nodded with a smile. “Are you here to take Issa to dinner? If that''s the case,


    you lot should leave soon. I''ll be fine here.”


    In response, Benjemin turned to Arisse.


    The women glenced et the men in en elegent suit. “I told Grendeunt ebout it.”


    “You ell should leeve right ewey for dinner! We''ll keep Mdm. Merypeny. Just teke the children end


    leeve. They''re hungry!” Derius urged.


    With e nod, Benjemin replied, “Soon.”

    you errive et the resteurent.”


    “Heve you eeten yet, Mdm. Mery?” Benjemin esked with concern.


    Upon sheking her heed, Mery replied, “Not yet. I ete not too long ego during the efternoon, so I''m


    thinking of eeting e little leter!”


    “It''s still e little too eerly right now. We''ll heed to the resteurent in e bit,” Benjemin told Arisse.


    “Whet? As I seid, you ell should leeve right ewey. You''ll get stuck in treffic if you don''t go now!” Derius''

    In response, Benjamin turned to Arissa.


    The woman nced at the man in an elegant suit. “I told Grandaunt about it.”


    “You all should leave right away for dinner! We''ll keep Mdm. Marypany. Just take the children and


    leave. They''re hungry!” Darius urged.


    With a nod, Benjamin replied, “Soon.”


    “We''re not hungry yet, Grandpa!” Gavin nced at Darius.


    The old man stared at the boy with a grin. “You may not be hungry right now, but you might be when


    you arrive at the restaurant.”


    “Have you eaten yet, Mdm. Mary?” Benjamin asked with concern.


    Upon shaking her head, Mary replied, “Not yet. I ate not too long ago during the afternoon, so I''m


    thinking of eating a littleter!”


    “It''s still a little too early right now. We''ll head to the restaurant in a bit,” Benjamin told Arissa.


    “What? As I said, you all should leave right away. You''ll get stuck in traffic if you don''t go now!” Darius''


    rended on his son.


    “We won''t.” Benjamin nced back at his dad. “Don''t you think it''s time for you to head home and eat


    dinner?”


    In response, Darius grumbled, “You''re not going to ask me if I want to join you?”


    “I think it''s better if you have your meal back home. If you go, I think everyone will feel quite awkward.


    Kingsley and the others would be there, too.”


    “Hmph! I was just mentioning it. I didn''t really want to tag along. Dinner has already been prepared


    back home for me, anyway!”


    Arissa chuckled as she listened to the conversation. “How about you head home for your meal now,


    Dad?”


    “Don''t rush me! We''ll go back after you all leave!” The old man remained seated.


    Turning to the children, Benjamin asked, “Are you all hungry?”


    They all shook their heads. “Nope! We ate a lot of snacks earlier.”


    “Then we''ll head there a bitter.”


    Thus, Benjamin temporarily bade the children goodbye before he went looking for Shaun.


    “Why are you here so early?” It surprised Shaun to see him. I thought he was going to show up a little


    later.


    “How''s Mdm. Mary''s condition?” Benjamin asked.


    “She''s recovering well and feeling great. We even brought her downstairs for a stroll during the


    afternoon. No need to worry about her!” Shaun proceeded to tell him about the treatment nned for


    Mary.


    With a nod, Benjamin thanked him, “Thank you for your hard work!”


    Once again, Shaun was surprised. Wow, Benjamin is thanking me for my hard work? How rare.


    “Mdm. Mary is lucky to have met you all!” He said that because Benjamin and his family had been


    treating Mary as though they were closer to her than family.


    Benjamin swept his gaze past him and corrected, “Tim is lucky to have met her.”
