The More the Merrier

Chapter 1022

"Do you think I'm heartless?"

Benjamin leaned down to look at her.

His breath brushed past her face, sending a warm and tingling sensation throughout her body as his familiar scent enveloped her.

Arissa gulped. "No!"

They should never be compassionate toward their enemies.

Arissa had no more sympathy for Nick after learning that he had intended not only to harm Benjamin but also their entire family, including her children.

Benjamin's eyes darkened, and he bent down to peck her on the forehead.

"Grandpa is awake! He's awake!"

Suddenly, they could hear their children's cheers and exclamations coming from the ward.

Their eyes lit up, and they rushed into the ward.

Darius was awake, with the six children standing around his bed.

"Grandpa!"

Arissa quickly pulled the children to one side and reminded them, "He just woke up, so you guys have to quieten down!"

She looked at Darius joyfully as Benjamin pressed the button to call for assistance. He walked up to Darius, asking, "Dad, how are you feeling?"

"Mm..."

Darius' voice was hoarse. Arissa rushed to pour a glass of water and handed it to Benjamin.

Benjamin accepted it and gave it to Darius. "Take a sip."

After Darius drank a bit of water, the doctors came in.

Benjamin quickly stepped aside for the doctors.

A dozen doctors started giving Darius a thorough checkup as Benjamin, Arissa, Edwin, William, and the six children waited at the side.

Mary also came rushing in upon hearing Darius was awake.

"Old Mr. Graham is awake?"

"Yes, he just woke up!" Arissa told Mary gleefully.

Mary was elated to hear that.

She looked in the direction of the bed but couldn't see Darius as the doctors had him surrounded.

After a few minutes, the doctors told Benjamin, "Mr. Graham, Old Mr. Graham is fine now. He just needs more rest!"

"Okay!" Benjamin nodded.

"Thank you, everyone!" Arissa smiled.

"There's no need to thank us at all. You're being too polite."

After the doctors mentioned a few more precautions, they left the ward.

"Grandpa, you're finally awake!"

"Grandpa, we were so worried about you!"

"Grandpa, are you hungry? We brought delicious food for you!"

"Grandpa..."

Darius felt blessed as the six children surrounded him.

A smile spread across his face as he comforted them, "I'm fine. Don't worry!"

The children started at him unblinkingly.

Arissa and Benjamin were also watching Darius.

Arissa poured another glass of water and was about to feed Darius when William took it from her. "Mrs. Graham, let me do it."

Passing the glass to him, she said to Darius, "Drink some water first before eating anything, Dad."

"Okay!"

Darius noticed that while Benjamin's family was present, there was no one from Bryan's and Nick's families. He couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. They are all cold-hearted people. None of them really care about me.

"Old Mr. Graham, drink it slowly!"

Shaun had come back after eating. Upon realizing that Darius was awake, he hurried over to the ward.

"Old Mr. Graham, you're awake?"

Darius glanced at him and smiled. "Yes, I'm awake. I must have given you all a scare."

"Haha! It's great that you're awake. Benjamin was so worried when you were unconscious..."

Shaun could feel Benjamin's glare. He glanced at Benjamin and sheepishly smiled.

"Old Mr. Graham, Benjamin might have fired me if you remained unconscious any longer!"

Darius looked at Benjamin and felt warmth in his heart. "You should go and get some rest. There's no need to stay by my side anymore."

"I'll head back to the company in a while," Benjamin replied.

Arissa turned to question Benjamin, "Are you not going to rest?"

He's going to the company right after Dad woke up?

Benjamin stared at her fixedly. "I'm not tired!"
