Chapter 846 Waking Arissa Up With A Call âGet back to work!â Slam! Arissa shut the door forcefully. She was too embarrassed and avoided eye contact with the bodyguard. With her head hung low, she scurried into the lobby of the hospital.
Benjamin watched as she fled the scene. A low chuckle rumbled in his throat. Glancing at the bodyguard waiting beside the car, he ordered, âLetâs go!â
The bodyguard got into the driverâs seat and drove Benjamin to the company.
Arissa ran all the way back to the ward, and her racing heart finally calmed down.
âMrs. Graham, why are you blushing? Did you do something bad?â Kingsley stuck his head out and shot her an inquisitive look as his eyes crinkled up.
Arissa gave a start.
âWhy are you still here?â
Both Kingsley and Shaun, who was walking over to them, burst out laughing.
âArissa wants to know why youâre still here,â Shaun teased him.
He then entered the ward to do his rounds.
âI was in his office earlier. Has Benjamin left?â Kingsley glanced around.
âYep. He went to work,â Arissa told him after she regained her composure.
Kingsley observed her carefully and noticed that her lips were a little swollen. He shot her a knowing look. âDid you send him off?â
âYes.â Feeling embarrassed, Arissa hurried into the ward to see Shaun examining Mary.
Kingsley grinned and entered the ward after her. However, he excused himself not long after.
âArissa, Mdm. Mary is doing well. Donât worry. You should get some sleep. I need to head back to my office now,â Shaun told Arissa.
âOh, thank you!â Arissa nodded.
After Shaun left, she lay on the couch to get some shut-eye.
She had just slept slightly over ten minutes when her phone vibrated.
Arissa jolted awake and quickly answered the call.
âHello?â
âWere you sleeping?â Benjaminâs mellow voice sounded at the other end of the line.
âYeah.â Arissaâs lips curled. âYou woke me up!â
Benjaminâs laughter sounded over the line. âYou should go back to sleep after I hang up. I forgot to tell you that weâre heading out for dinner tonight.â
Arissa froze. âIs it a business-related social event?â
âItâs Kingsley. He wants me to treat them all to dinner,â Benjamin explained.
âOh, all right then,â Arissa agreed readily. âCan we bring the kids, too?â
Benjamin let out a low chuckle. She never forgets about the kids, huh? âSure! Iâll pick you up at the hospital after work.â
âOkay,â Arissa answered.
âSleep,â Benjamin said and waited for her to hang up.
As he didnât hang up, Arissa asked, âIs there anything else?â
âNothing!â
Ethen had entered his office, so Benjamin had to hang up.
âMr. Graham, everyone is here. We can start the meeting now!â Ethen reported.
Benjamin inclined his head and got up to join the rest.
Arissa had just placed her phone aside when Gavinâs call arrived.
She rose to her feet and answered the call at the balcony.

âHey, Sweetheart. Whatâs wrong? Do you miss me?â Arissa asked gently.
Gavinâs shy giggle sounded over the line.
Jesse and Jasper inched closer to him and called out, âMommy!â
âMommy, Tim misses you, too!â Oliver chimed in.
Arissa beamed. âI miss you all, too. Tim, do you miss your great-grandaunt?â
After the surgery ended, Mary woke up and took a few bites of food before falling asleep. Thus, she forgot to inform the kids.
Arissa said in an apologetic tone, âSweetheart, I forgot to tell Great-grandaunt to give you a call. Iâm sorry!â
âItâs fine!â Tim chirped. He didnât blame her.
Arissa glanced at her watch. Are they all up?
âDid you wake up from your afternoon nap?â
âYes!â five kids chorused except for Zachary.
âSweethearts, where is Zachary?â
What is he doing?
