Chapter 249 Who Is Going To Take Care Of Me
“Eat this for now. I’ll make you something good tomorrow,” Arissa promised.
Benjamin snorted softly in response.
Catching the insult in his voice, Arissa felt embarrassed.
“I promise I’ll never do that again. My cooking skill is actually not bad, so just tell me what you like or want to eat.”
“Are you sure?” Benjamin showed subtle amusement in his eyes as he looked at the boastful woman.
“Of course! You’ve tried it, right? It wasn’t bad, no?”
Arissa was very confident in her cooking skills as not only did the kids love it, but even Benjamin emptied his plate the few times he tried it.
“How are you going to cook when there’s no kitchen here?” Benjamin reminded.
“I can make it at home and bring it over once I’m done!” Arissa answered while feeding him the soup.
“Who’s going to take care of me if you go back?”
Benjamin’s expression darkened.
Arissa glimpsed the look on his face and quietly said, “There are nurses in the hospital and your bodyguards are just outside. I can’t feel at ease leaving the kids at home.”
“There are people looking after them. Do you actually intend on leaving me, a patient, alone? How can nurses be the same?” Benjamin was infuriated.
Arissa was stunned by his reaction and looked at him.
Benjamin turned away from her gaze as he felt uncomfortable, amusing Arissa in the process.
“If you want me to look after you, just say it. That anger is unwarranted! Now, eat up!”
Hearing that, Benjamin glared at her, annoyed.
“Alright now. You should finish the soup before it turns cold. I’ll stay, okay?” Arissa patiently coaxed the difficult man.
“Do you think I’m some three-year-old kid?”
Benjamin tried to be intimidating, but the swell on his face had not come down, so he looked a little cute.
“Nope.” Arissa smiled. “I didn’t notice that.”
I’ve gotten used to talking with the kids.
After hearing that, Benjamin went silent.
And it took Arissa some more coaxing before he eventually opened his mouth to drink the soup.
“Next time don’t buy this outside food for me. It’s disgusting!”
Arissa sighed. “How can I make food for you if you don’t let me go back?”
“You can go back and make it tomorrow morning! Did you forget that you have to take care of me? Would I be in this state if it weren’t for you?” Benjamin was infuriated.
“Okay, okay. I know it’s my fault. You are hospitalized because of me. Please give me a chance to redeem myself by taking care of you until you’ve fully recovered, Mr. Graham. Now, open your mouth wide.”
Arissa held the bowl and spoon in each hand in front of Benjamin as though she was feeding a child.
Benjamin gave her a cold side-eye but drank the soup nevertheless.
“No more!”
After two bowls of soup, Benjamin was a little stuffed.
“But there’s still one bowl left,” Arissa said and looked at him
“I’m full!” Benjamin exclaimed.
Hence, Arissa rubbed her nose and sat on the side.
If you’re not going to finish it, I will. I’ll bear with this temper of yours since you’re in here because of me.
With that, Benjamin resumed his work after seeing her enjoying the food.
“You’ve not recovered yet, so you should focus on resting. You can work when you’ve fully recovered!” Arissa said after turning around, but Benjamin ignored her completely.
After that, she finished the soup and went to take out the trash.
When Arissa got back, Benjamin occupied her with task after task, and she did them all.
She had been taking good care of her children, so one man was not much of a problem for her.
She merely treated it as just a way to kill time.
Eventually, the IV drip finished, so Arissa called the nurse in to pull out the needle.
At the same time, Benjamin’s temperature had gone down, and the swelling was gone, leaving only patches of red that could hardly mask the man’s good looks.
So, the nurse was ogling at him for quite a while.
“Is there anything else?” Benjamin asked with a narrowed gaze and darkened expression.
