Chapter 256 Like His Wife Dariusâ eyes glinted. After all, he wasnât born yesterday, and he was still very sharp for his age.
They rushed off that afternoon and returned in high spirits a few hours later. When they were asked about what they had been up to, they simply stayed quiet.
Could Benjamin be in trouble?
He hasnât returned any of my calls yet.
Darius didnât move and continued eating with his grandchildren.
After eating, he asked his butler to call Ethen and ask about Benjaminâs whereabouts.
âMr. Graham? He went out. I didnât go with him. He went out with Ms. York. Jasper and the others will go and fetch them when theyâre done,â Ethen fibbed.
Benjaminâs condition was already stable, but Ethen didnât feel like telling Old Mr. Graham that Benjamin was in the hospital this late at night.
He didnât want to cause them to overreact and leak the news to the media.
âWhere did they head off to?â Edwin asked.
âOh! Thereâs another call coming in, so I need to go! Call Mr. Graham for anything else, okay?â
Ethen immediately made up an excuse so he could hang up.
Edwin raised an eyebrow and reported, âSomething seems fishy.â
Benjamin was definitely not at a business gathering, because if he was, Ethen would know the venue.
He probably knew and was purposely hiding it from them.
Darius nodded.
âCall Benjamin again.â
Back in the hospital, Benjamin was finally awake.
Arissa immediately rushed toward him and helped him sit up.
âAre you feeling better?â
Benjamin glanced at her and said, âIâm going to the washroom.â
âSlow down!â Arissa bent down and took his slippers.
He looked at her strangely, curious as to why she was suddenly doing all this.
She was acting like his wife, and doing all of this was completely natural.
She didnât know what he was thinking and simply helped him put his shoes on so he could go to the restroom.
Benjamin washed his hands and quickly washed his face too before walking out.
âAre you feeling better?â
Arissa stood waiting in front of the door and immediately started helping him to his bed.
âIâm a little tired.â
Benjamin was actually feeling much better after resting, but he purposely said that to mislead Arissa.
âThen go and lie down again!â
Arissa clearly didnât catch on.
Benjaminâs eyes gleamed and he leaned toward her, putting on a weak act.
She helped him onto the bed and took off his shoes for him.
She was already treating him like he was crippled.
Benjamin almost laughed out loud. âDo you think Iâm crippled or something?â
âHuh?â
Stunned, Arissa looked up and immediately her face reddened under his teasing gaze.

Benjamin was still looking at her while sitting up on the bed.
She avoided his gaze but continued to glance at him and noticed that the red flush on his face had already begun to subside.
She chuckled and said, âThe redness seems to be fading. Since youâre already feeling better, I bet youâll be fit to go tomorrow!â
Benjamin looked at his arms, which were already much better than before.
He no longer felt the itching on his body either, which meant that the medicine was working.
âAh, right! Your dad called you, but since you were sleeping I hung up. Zachary said that he probably wanted to ask you to go home for dinner, so I told both Zachary and Gavin that we went to a meeting and that they should spend the night at their grandpaâs place,â Arissa suddenly mentioned.
Benjamin raised an eyebrow at the sound of Darius calling him.
âDid he call me just to go home for dinner?â
Arissa met his intense gaze and she murmured, âI think so.â
He just scoffed lightly and reached out toward her.
âCan I have my phone?â
She passed him his phone and he unlocked it to see that he had, in fact, received a call from Darius about an hour ago.
He was just about to call him back when Edwinâs name popped up on his screen.
