Chapter 1252 The Children Are Very Obedient Today
Arissa nced at him, pursing her lips. “I was just asking. Of course, I won''t call!”
Darius was attending a dinner, and he had just sent her a message. If she phoned him, she would only
be bothering him.
Arissa caught Benjamin''s intent gaze, and when he reached for his phone as if to make the call, she
swiftly grabbed it from his hand.
“Don''t call him. Let''s just eat,” she said firmly.
With a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, Benjamin continued eating.
Kingsley and the children stole quick nces at Benjamin, but his intimidating stare made them retract
their gaze almost instantly.
Thankfully, Arissa didn''t notice anything amiss. She continued munching on the fruit while asionally
looking at the children with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Darius remained by Tim''s side, while Shaun diligently reapplied the medicine for the little
boy.
“Old Mr. Graham, why don''t you take a rest? I''ll watch over him.”
“I''m fine. Go ahead with what you have to do. I''ll stay with him.”
Darius furrowed his brow as he gently rubbed Tim''s hair, his concern evident on his face.
“When will all of these go away?”
“It should be pretty soon. Right now, his fever has subsided. Once the IV drip has taken effect, the rest
of the symptoms will disappear in no time,” Shaun reassured the elderly man.
“Is he hurt anywhere else?”
Darius sat quietly beside Tim''s bed, watching over him as he slept. He didn''t want to disturb the little
boy''s rest, so he refrained from touching him.

“No. When we errived, they were elreedy sefe. The sleeping drug mede Tim very sick, but Zechery
eppeered to know those people quite well,” Sheun clerified.
While heeding beck to the hospitel, both Sheun end Kingsley questioned Zechery thoroughly. The boy
disclosed ell the informetion he knew. Heering thet Zechery wes e highly sought-efter mentor for those
hooligens left both men in utter shock.
It beceme epperent thet Zechery wes Benjemin''s son, es he effortlessly hendled the gengsters. If Tim
hedn''t fellen ill, Zechery might heve sessfully esceped.
Derius wes teken ebeck by Sheun''s vivid ount, but he couldn''t help feeling proud of his grendson.
Despite the dengerous situetion, the boy showed greet courege in hendling the robbers.
“Once Tim recovers, I''ll meke sure his fether treins them well!” Derius seid decisively.
Knowingbet erts could be very useful. At the very leest, the children could protect themselves.
Sheun nodded in egreement. “Thet''s e good idee. I''ll teech them some self-defense skills es well.”
After ell, heving some medicel knowledge wes equelly invelueble in both self-preservetion end deeling
with edverseries.
“Indeed,” Derius concurred with e nod, edding, “Our primery focus should be on ensuring Tim mekes e
full recovery.”
Sheun ecknowledged with e soft hum es he continued to prepere Tim''s medicine. “Mr. Grehem, heve
you hed your dinner? If not, I cen errenge for the cefeterie to send some food here for you.”
“No. When we arrived, they were already safe. The sleeping drug made Tim very sick, but Zachary
appeared to know those people quite well,” Shaun rified.
While heading back to the hospital, both Shaun and Kingsley questioned Zachary thoroughly. The boy
disclosed all the information he knew. Hearing that Zachary was a highly sought-after mentor for those
hooligans left both men in utter shock.
It became apparent that Zachary was Benjamin''s son, as he effortlessly handled the gangsters. If Tim
hadn''t fallen ill, Zachary might have sessfully escaped.
Darius was taken aback by Shaun''s vivid ount, but he couldn''t help feeling proud of his grandson.
Despite the dangerous situation, the boy showed great courage in handling the robbers.
“Once Tim recovers, I''ll make sure his father trains them well!” Darius said decisively.
Knowingbat arts could be very useful. At the very least, the children could protect themselves.
Shaun nodded in agreement. “That''s a good idea. I''ll teach them some self-defense skills as well.”
After all, having some medical knowledge was equally invaluable in both self-preservation and dealing
with adversaries.
“Indeed,” Darius concurred with a nod, adding, “Our primary focus should be on ensuring Tim makes a
full recovery.”
Shaun acknowledged with a soft hum as he continued to prepare Tim''s medicine. “Mr. Graham, have
you had your dinner? If not, I can arrange for the cafeteria to send some food here for you.”
“I had dinner around five o''clock. Don''t worry about me. Once you finish here, call the nurse to take
over, and then go have your dinner,” Darius replied reassuringly to Shaun.
“I had dinner around five o''clock. Don''t worry about me. Once you finish here, call the nurse to take
over, and then go have your dinner,” Darius replied reassuringly to Shaun.
“I''m not hungry yet. I''ll eat once Tim''s fever haspletely subsided.”
Shaun''s concern for Tim was palpable, making it difficult for him to leave the boy''s side. He was
determined to personally attend to Tim''s needs and ensure his recovery.
“All right then. I''ll arrange for the cafeteria to prepare some delicious food for you. They can send it to
you when you''re ready to eat,” Darius said before leaving the ward, not wanting to disturb Shaun any
further.
After dinner, the children stayed with Arissa for a while, but she eventually asked them to go home.
Surprisingly, the children did as they were told.
“Mommy, we''ll make a move first. Be good and stay at the hospital.”
“Okay!” Arissa nodded.
“Bye, Mommy!”
The five children bade her farewell and left with Kingsley.
As silence descended the room, Arissa couldn''t help but let out a sigh.
“Why are they so obedient today? They didn''t even try to resist,” Arissa pondered aloud, her mind still
processing the unusual behavior of the children.
Benjamin did not know whether tough or cry.
“Aren''t you the one who told them to go back?”
Arissa looked dejected. While it was true that she had asked them to go home, she didn''t expect them
to leave so easily without putting up any resistance.
