Chapter 260 Getting Him To Take Medicine
Arissa went to wash her hands and Benjamin’s gaze trailed her…
When he noticed how red her ears were, he smirked.
So she’s not that daring after all.
After she came out, she kept the ointment and poured a glass of water for him to down his medicine with.
“You should take your medicine now.”
Benjamin frowned as he looked at the white pills in her hands.
“No.”
Arissa widened her eyes. Why is he acting like a child?
“How are you going to recover if you don’t take your medicine?”
Benjamin glanced at her before laying back on the bed and picking up his phone to work.
Arissa didn’t know what else to do apart from pushing it in his direction once again.
Gently, she coaxed, “Take it. If Old Mr. Graham were to see you like this, he would be so worried. You wouldn’t want the kids to see you like this either, right?”
“Are you threatening me?” he asked with narrowed eyes.
“No. I’m just worried for you. Just take your medicine so you can get well faster. Then you wouldn’t have to get any more injections.”
Arissa put it right at his mouth and continued to convince him.
“If they’re too bitter, I can get you some candy.”
Benjamin rolled his eyes and downed all of the pills in one go before drinking some water.
At the sight of his tightly knitted frown, Arissa quickly went to the coffee table and got some grapes.
She quickly peeled one and shoved it into his mouth.
“It won’t be bitter after this.”
Benjamin’s annoyed expression immediately softened after the sweet taste of grape spread in his mouth.
“Go and shower or you’ll catch a cold,” he said firmly.
She glanced at him. So he knows how to care for others.
“My clothes aren’t here yet,” she said as she sat aside.
Benjamin frowned. “Go and shower anyway. They’ll be here soon.”
She turned to look at him and saw how serious he was.
Then, she finally got up to check if there was another towel in the washroom. Only after that did she close the door behind her to take a shower.
Benjamin called Edwin to ask him to hurry up and Edwin told him that he was already on his way.
Ethen brought some files over to Benjamin and heard the water running inside the bathroom. After glancing at the door, he looked over only to see Benjamin staring at him with a hint of warning in his eyes.
Ethen lowered his head and no longer dared to look anywhere else.
“Mr. Graham, I’ll come over tomorrow morning to get these files.”
“Okay.”
Benjamin indicated for him to put the files down and Ethen reported about Jack to him. “Jack is back, but I didn’t tell him you were here.”
“You don’t need to tell him.”
Benjamin frowned. Jack was known for having a big mouth.
Ethen nodded. Thankfully he didn’t tell Jack anything. If he had rushed over here, Benjamin wouldn’t have been able to rest properly.
“Mr. Graham, are you feeling any better?”
Benjamin glanced at him. “I’m fine.”
Ethen smiled at the good news. “If that’s the case, shall I head back?”
Benjamin just waved at him.
On the way out, Ethen bumped into Edwin.
“Ethen, how is Mr. Graham feeling?”
“He’s fine apart from some mild rashes,” Ethen replied. After a quick greeting, he left.
Edwin brought the two bags of clothes to the room and knocked. Only when Benjamin’s voice called out did he enter the room.
“Hello, Mr. Graham.”
Benjamin glanced at Edwin. “You can go home after putting down the things.”
“How did you suddenly get an allergic reaction? Are you feeling better?”
Edwin put down the bags and came over to look Benjamin up and down.
He seemed perfectly fine, but his face was still dotted with a few red patches.
“I was allergic to some natto that I ate, but I’m already feeling much better. Don’t tell Dad about this.”
Benjamin continued saying, “Let Gavin and the others stay over there for a few days. Please don’t let them know that we are here.”
“I got it. Please don’t worry,” Edwin said with a nod.
“You can go home,” Benjamin said as he picked up the files, ready to look through them.
Edwin looked at him and said, “Mr. Graham, are you sure you don’t need me to stay back and help you?”
“I have Arissa,” Benjamin replied without even looking up.
