Chapter 585 Sweet Talking Him To Eat Medicine Benjamin had thrown a sharp glance over, but the look in his eyes immediately softened upon realizing it was Arissa.
âWhy are you here instead of going to sleep?â he uttered while attempting to grab the document back. However, Arissa avoided him.
âMr. Frank told me youâre unwilling to take your medicine!â
A frown formed between his eyebrows. âSuch a blabbermouth!â
Seeing his tensed expression and his forehead beaded with sweat, Arissa did not argue with him.
âDo you have medicine here?â
As there was no response from the man, she began rummaging around. When she spotted the contents in the rubbish bin, she bent over to pick it up and stared at him, speechless. To her, the man before her eyes seemed to be much more difficult to please than a child.
âHow can you not take your medicine?â she cooed.
She then poured a glass of warm water, grabbed some pills, and passed it to him.
âHurry and take some medicine. Iâve already sent Ethen to go get you something to eat.â
Clenching his teeth, Benjamin tried to suppress the unbearable feeling.
Noticing more sweat droplets forming on his forehead, Arissa only grew more worried. âAre you all right?â
She hurriedly passed him some tissues to wipe his sweat away while reaching her hand out to rub his back.
After a while, Benjamin finally felt much better.
âTake your medicine first!â She passed him the glass of water and handed him the pills.
âItâs acting up because you skipped your meals again. Here, eat your medicine. Otherwise, the pain will come back again.â
Her soft and patient voice was exactly like how she would coax the kids to take their medicine. And because of that, Benjamin felt slightly better that he took the pills from her and ate them.
Then, she put the glass of warm water near his mouth, and the man took a few sips.
âDrink more.â
The man took the glass from Arissa and gulped the water down.
âGo lie down for some rest. Itâll take some time for Ethan to come back.â She put the glass away and looked at him concernedly.
Leaning against his seat, Benjamin responded, âI have a meeting later.â
Arissaâs tone turned a little more aggressive as she shot him a stern glance. âIs your health more important than your work?â
He had no choice but to lie down on the couch after her reprimand. âHelp me massage my head.â
Noticing how exhausted he looked, Arissa eventually walked up to him and crouched down a little to rub his temples.
âBenjamin, donât be so picky with your food in the future. Eat when thereâs something for you to eat. You have gastritis; you canât afford to go hungry, else itâll act up easily.â
âThatâs enough.â The man sounded weak and strengthless as he interrupted her.
âFine.â Arissa stopped talking and instead diverted her attention to rubbing his temples.
About twenty minutes later, Benjamin had already fallen asleep when Ethen returned.
âMs. York, should I wake Mr. Graham up to have his meal?â Ethen put the food he bought down as he asked Arissa softly.
She turned to look at the man, whose brows were still tightly scrunched up despite being asleep. âLet him sleep a little while more.â
Ethen shifted his gaze to Benjamin. âItâs rare of Mr. Graham to take afternoon naps.â
Indeed, ever since he worked alongside Benjamin, the latter would only get more sleep when he was ill.
Apart from that, he would only take a few hours off for sleep daily. Sometimes, the man would even go without sleep for a few days, and thus afternoon naps were undoubtedly a luxury for him.
But he did admire how Benjamin would still manage to stay so rejuvenated even without sleep.
The only downside of a lack of sleep for the man was that his temper would become extremely bad.
Arissa looked at Ethen. âGo have some rest too. Iâll stay by him.â

âIs it important?â Arissa asked.
She thought of pushing the meeting back to a later time since it was rare to see Benjamin sleeping so soundly.
âWe can wait till Mr. Graham wakes up before commencing the meeting. Iâll inform the others first.â
Arissa nodded.
With that, Ethen strode out and closed the door behind him.
Sitting at one side, Arissa could not help but stare at Benjamin.
The arrogance and vigor of the man had toned down while he was asleep. Compared to when he was awake, he radiated an air of gentleness and warmth.
His furry straight eyebrows, high-bridged nose, and delicate and chiseled facial features were all so perfect it looked as though it was Godâs most flawless work.
He looked handsome and flawless from every angle.
Heâs really good looking.
Before Arissa knew it, she was entranced by the visual before her eyes.
