Chapter 745 Work Overtime With Me Tonight
The six little ones turned to look at Benjamin and saw that their father was busy. They stuck out their tongues cheekily and kept quiet after that.
Seeing how well-behaved the kids were, a satisfied smile appeared on Arissa’s face as she passed them a water bottle for them to drink some water. “Mommy, you should drink some too!” Gavin gazed at his mother and said.
Arissa nodded. Tim took out his textbook and started reading with a serious expression on his face. “You shouldn’t be reading in the car!” Oliver adjusted his glasses while reminding his brother.
Arissa noticed it as well and quickly stopped Tim from doing that. She kept the boy’s book and said, “Sweetheart, don’t read when the car is moving. It would hurt your eyes. Read when we get home!”
“Okay!” Tim answered as his face blushed. Arissa pinched the boy’s cheek affectionately while Zachary, Jasper, and Jesse looked at them smilingly.
For the rest of the journey, Arissa and the kids kept their voices low when they spoke. Although Benjamin was working, his ears were pricked up, listening to the conversation that was going on in the car at the same time.
When they arrived at the hospital, Benjamin kept his tablet and got out of the car before carrying the kids out. Arissa looked at the man and teased, “I thought you wouldn’t notice that we’ve reached!”
Benjamin cast a glance at her and replied, “I always stay alert to my surroundings even when I’m concentrating on my work!”
Arissa was surprised that Benjamin could hear them even though they were speaking so softly.
Benjamin turned to instruct his bodyguard to buy some buns before entering the hospital with his family.
“Mr. Graham, so sorry to have disturbed you while you were working!”
Benjamin turned his head slightly and said to the woman who looked completely unapologetic, “Work overtime with me tonight!”
“Work overtime?” Arissa froze for a moment.
What does he mean by that?
Benjamin took them to see Mary without replying.
After that, he went to look for Shaun to understand the situation while Arissa and the kids stayed with Mary.
“Great-grandaunt!” the six little ones crowded around the bed and greeted Mary sweetly.
With a benevolent expression on her face, Mary patted the kids’ heads lovingly.
“Is school over?”
“Yup, Great-grandaunt. We came to visit you right after school. Are you happy?” Jasper replied.
“Of course I’m happy!”
“Great-grandaunt, we missed you so much when we were in school. Did you miss us?” Jesse asked.
“Yup, I missed you guys so much!”
“Great-grandaunt, are you hungry? Daddy’s bodyguard went to get some buns. He’ll be back soon!” Oliver said.
“I’m not hungry. Mr. Bailey bought me some food just now.”
“Great-grandaunt, are you feeling better today?” Zachary asked.
“Yup, I’m feeling great today. Don’t worry!”
“Great-grandaunt, Tim worried about you the most. He wanted to call you but was afraid that he would disturb your rest!” Gavin said.
Mary was touched by the kids’ concern for her. She looked at the little ones before landing her gaze on Tim, who had not spoken at all.
“Tim, you have to concentrate when you’re in class, yeah? I’m well taken care of in the hospital so you don’t have to worry about me. Just focus on your studies!”
“Yup, Great-grandaunt. I will do that!” Tim nodded obediently while stroking the back of Mary’s hand, which had a needle stuck in it, and said, “Great-grandaunt, your hand is swollen!”
“Don’t worry. It’s not painful at all!” Mary replied with a smile.
Noticing the bruise on the back of Mary’s hand where the needle was, Tim frowned and started blowing on the bruise.
Arissa, who was sitting at one side, saw the children’s concern for Mary and felt a sense of gratification.
Mary was delighted to have the company of the kids.
The hospital ward was much livelier with the six little ones around, and laughter could be heard constantly.
Just then, Benjamin and Shaun walked into the room, and Shaun added another dosage of solution to Mary’s IV drip.
“This IV session would only finish in the evening,” he said.
Mary smiled and replied, “That’s all right. I’m not in a rush.”
Shaun nodded and said, “Mdm. Mary, take a nap if you’re tired!”
The old lady nodded.
“Just focus on resting and don’t worry about anything else. Let Shaun know if you’re feeling uncomfortable,” Benjamin reminded Mary.
“I will!” Mary nodded and replied with a smile on her face before continuing, “You guys must be tired after a whole day of work. You should go back and rest. I’m fine!”
