Chapter 1209


    “Why?” Arissa felt bewildered and puzzled. He went to the office yesterday, so why isn''t he going


    today?


    Since her condition had improved greatlypared to the day before, Arissa said, “I''ll be fine at the


    hospital. Grandaunt and Dad will probably apany meter on. Don''t worry about me, okay?”


    He stared deeply into her eyes, seemingly with mixed emotions.


    Since Benjamin remained silent, Arissa was unaware of the situation, assuming he was just concerned


    about her.


    After sending the children to school, Ethen and Jack went to the office to pick up the documents and


    brought them to the hospital.


    “Are you feeling better, Mrs. Graham?” It seemed as if Jack was even tanner now than when shest


    saw him.


    Arissa was startled for a bit before she nodded. “Yes, I''m feeling better now. Why are you so tan all of a


    sudden?”


    Grinning sheepishly, Jack scratched the back of his head and replied, “It is all due to the long training


    sessions under the sun.”


    “Oh.” Arissa nced at him and saw nothing but glistening, white teeth smiling at her.


    Jack was then signaled aside by Benjamin, and he hurriedly informed Benjamin about the ind''s


    situation.


    Meanwhile, Ethen sorted out the documents they had brought over from the office for Benjamin.


    Since the ward had a desk, it became Benjamin''s temporary work area for now.


    Arissa was curious about the base as she listened to Jack''s briefings to Benjamin, thinking that it would


    be a fun and interesting ce.


    “Do you guys train the whole day?” she asked Jack.


    “More or less so.” Jack nodded, hesitant to say anything further.


    Benjamin swept a nce at Arissa and said, “As soon as you recover, I''ll take you on a tour around the


    ind.”


    Jack and Ethen widened their eyes in disbelief as they gazed at Benjamin. Looks like Boss trusts Mrs.


    Graham with all his heart now.


    Feeling happy, Arissaughed. “Sure!”


    She hadn''t been to the base before.


    “Has Gavin been there before?”


    “Yes, he has,” Benjamin responded before giving Jack instructions. “A strict selection process is


    mandatory. Our standards should never be lowered!”


    “Yes, Mr. Graham!” Jack replied as he saluted.

    “You can return to the office with Ethen.” Benjamin then dismissed them with a wave of his hand.


    After quickly exining the arrangement of the documents to Benjamin, Ethen left with Jack.


    “You can watch some shows if you''re feeling bored. However, just make sure you don''t tire yourself


    out,” Benjamin said as he handed a tablet to her.


    Arissa chuckled. “Won''t I disturb you while you work?”


    Benjamin ruffled her hair gently as he replied, “Not at all.”


    Since he was supposed to apany her, a little noise wouldn''t bother him.


    Arissa was touched by his reply. She picked a movie, turned the volume down, and began watching it.


    It was only then that Benjamin went back to his work.


    A whileter, when Darius and Mary arrived at the ward, Benjamin was busy working while Arissa was


    watching a movie, creating a cozy and warm atmosphere.


    Both Darius and Mary looked at each other and smiled.


    Noticing the two of them in the ward, Arissa quickly invited them to sit down.


    “Dad, Grandaunt, have you had breakfast yet?”


    “Yes. Edwin brought us some breakfast this morning.”


    Taking a seat beside the bed, Mary asked with a smile, “How are you feeling today?”


    “Much better,” Arissa said cheerfully as she looked at them.


    Seeing that she was energetic and lively, Darius felt relieved. “What would you like to eat, Issa? I''ll get


    it for you.”


    “Thank you, Dad!” Arissa felt quite bad for having the elders worry about her.


    “Are you feeling better, Dad?”


    “Yes, I''m fine. I can be discharged today as well.”


    Darius gave a dismissive wave as he continued, “I would have wanted to go homest night if both of


    you hadn''t been concerned about me.”


    When she saw Darius in good spirits and looking radiant, Arissa breathed a sigh of relief.


    “So, did the doctor say you''re allowed to go home now?”


    “Shaun has examined me just now and says I''m fine.”


    Feeling ecstatic, Darius added, “You should also try to get discharged as soon as possible.”


    Arissa smiled. “I will!”


    She then turned to look at Mary. “You should rest more too, Grandaunt. You don''t have toe here to


    keep mepany.”


    “I know. Actually, I was considering leaving the hospital today as well. It''s not a good thing to continue


    staying in the hospital anyway. Wouldn''t it be better if Darius and I were discharged together today?”


    Having recuperated well at the hospital, Mary was already fine.


    She only needed to follow up with regr body checkups.


    Once Mary was discharged, she would be able to take care of the children. She could not do anything if


    she stayed in the hospital.
