Chapter 805 I Will Carry You In There According to the doctor she consulted previously, it would be difficult for her to conceive again given her situation, so she assumed that that would not be the case. âThank you, Dr. Leal!â
She then got up to see Liane off. âDonât worry about me, I can make my own way out. Take care to rest, and do have something to eat before that.
Also, remember to apply the cream!â
âOkay!â Arissa nodded. It was only after Liane went downstairs that she returned to her room to resume eating, after which she lay down to rest on the bed.
Initially, she did not think herself tired. In the end, though, she wound up fast asleep. She was not sure how much time had transpired before she felt someone touching her.
As soon as Arissa roused and saw what Benjamin was doing, she became self-conscious and hastily pulled the blanket over to cover herself.
âYou...â
Benjamin lifted his eyes to regard her. His lips curled up when he saw her face turn as red as a beetroot.
âWhat is there for you to be embarrassed about? Itâs not as though I have never seen you before!â
That caused Arissa to blush even harder. She shot a flustered look at him before she buried her face inside the blanket.
âBenjamin Graham, you pervert!â
Her shyness only made Benjamin chuckle as he pulled aside the blanket, and his voice was gentle and teeming with affection. âCome on, now. Iâm just going to help put this cream on. Itâs going to make things all better!â
âItâs fine. I can do this myself!â
Arissa felt like she desperately needed to go into hiding somewhere.
Her refusal elicited a subtle sigh from Benjamin. âOh, fine. You do it yourself then!â
Arissa was being driven insane at the manâs obliviousness toward the extent of her embarrassment.
âDo it now, or Iâll do it for you!â he threatened.
She turned and poked her eyes out to stare at the man.
âHmm?â
Benjamin pretended to move in closer, prompting Arissa to scurry off to the side. âIâll do it myself, so just turn around and look away!â
Staring at her for a moment, Benjamin nonetheless complied and did as asked.
Grabbing the jar, Arissa swiftly applied the cream to her wounds. Following that, she got dressed and stood up to go to the bathroom.
Owing to the manner her unhealed body was still smarting, her movements were a little stiff when she walked.
A pair of arms suddenly reached out from behind her and swept her up, giving Arissa quite the fright.
âIâll carry you in there!â
Benjamin peered down at her.
Red to the ears, Arissa turned away to avoid his gaze while Benjaminâs lips curled up slightly.
After carrying her into the bathroom, he placed her down on a chair.
Arissa stood to her feet hastily to wash her hands, but she cast a glance in Benjaminâs direction when she saw that he was still hanging around.
âAre you going to wash your hands?â
As she eyed the manâs hands, their well-defined and slender form brought a flush to her cheeks, which drove her to avert her gaze while banishing the errant thoughts from her mind.
Regarding her briefly, Benjamin then bent over to wash his own hands.
âAre you still hurting?â
âNot anymore!â
Arissa was a little miffed at him for sending the doctor over to check on her at home.
âWhy kick up such a fuss and call the doctor in over such a minor issue?â
Her murmuring caused Benjamin to furrow his brows, and he raised a hand to pinch her cheeks.
âWouldnât hurt to err on the side of caution!â
Swatting away his hand, Arissa then wiped the water from her face.
âWhy were you so careless last night?â
Benjaminâs gaze was unfathomable.
âIâll be more careful next time!â
Arissa started to blush again.
Who said that he abstains from women? This man is practically a lecher.
Benjamin stopped teasing her and ruffled her hair instead. âGet washed up. We have to go downstairs for lunch.â
Arissa watched the man walk out. She then hurried to wash her face and also relieve herself before exiting.
âLetâs go.â
Benjamin extended a hand to motion for her to go over.
âLet me get changed first!â
Arissa turned the other way to head toward the wardrobe.
Benjamin stuck both hands in his pocket. âThereâs no need for that since weâre not headed out. You are going to come straight back up to rest after the meal!â
âBut I want to visit Grandaunt at the hospital!â
Having slept through the entire morning, Arissa did not want to be reduced to a sloth.
If they were to continue staying in bed, she reckoned that others would likely catch on to what they were doing last night.
âShaun is over there taking care of Grandaunt, so thereâs nothing for you to be concerned about!â
Benjamin had followed her over and was now leaning against the door, his gaze fixated upon her.
Retrieving a set of athleisure wear, Arissa then turned to give him a heads-up, âIâm going to get changed!â

Scoot!â
