Chapter 273 What Are Friends For

“I was almost sent to hell by those squawking birds. Boss, how will you explain yourself to my old man if I were to die of fright?” Kingsley whined.

Arissa found it really funny. She never knew Kingsley to be such a wuss.

“Is it really that scary?”

“Of course it is, Mrs. Graham. You should try it out with my boss. It was terrible the way those birds were cooing.”

Kingsley’s heart raced as he imitated the sound of the birds.

“I even got bullied by a monkey and thought it was a ghost. It was so scary.”

Shaun burst into laughter when he was reminded of the look on Kingsley’s face at the time.

Benjamin’s lips twitched.

“I’ve heard that bird sound before. It’s kind of scary.”

Arissa wiped the corner of her eye. She had laughed so hard that tears came out.

“Don’t worry, I will explain everything to your old man if you were to die of fright and I’ll even give you a proper burial.”

Benjamin smiled drily, causing their hairs to stand on end.

Kingsley was at a loss for words while Shaun broke into a fit of laughter.

On the other hand, Arissa was staring at Benjamin in surprise. I never knew he had such a vicious tongue.

After all, what are friends for?

Benjamin gave her a sideways glance as Arissa turned back to her breakfast.

Shaun and Kingsley left shortly after the meal to get some beauty sleep while Arissa cleaned up after them and took out the trash.

“Do you still need me to apply the ointment?”

She noticed that Benjamin had almost recovered from his allergy reaction. I think he should be fine without the ointment now.

“I still haven’t recover.”

Benjamin gave her a look.

Hearing that, Arissa brought the ointment over before calling out to the man that was sitting on the couch. “Scoot over then.”

Benjamin walked over, unbuttoned his clothes, and took them off.

Arissa’s face reddened at the sight.

It’s just a torso and I’m already smitten by the sight of it.

She swallowed hard and dared not look him in the eye. Nonetheless, she would steal glances of his sculpted body from time to time.

His muscular body build was a pleasant sight to behold.

Benjamin sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her. “Get on with it then.”

Arissa gave him a look, squeezed out some ointment, and applied it to his rashes.

“Is it still itchy?”

“No.” Benjamin felt much better after applying the medication.

“I should be able to recover after one more dose of injection.”

Arissa was pleased to hear that. Does that mean Benjamin will be discharged this afternoon?

“What are you smiling at?”

Benjamin was dazzled by her smile.

Arissa gave it some thought, turned to him, and exclaimed, “I’m happy because you’ll be discharged today!”

“Who says I’m going to get discharged today?” Benjamin harrumphed.

Arissa pursed her lips and stared at the arrogant man.

“You’re fine now, aren’t you? So why do you insist on staying here? Don’t you want to go home? There’s no way the hospital is more comfortable than your own home, right?”

Besides, the worst was over for him. He didn’t even need to get hospitalized.

It’s not like he’s going to have a relapse anytime soon anyways.

Benjamin smirked. “Do you want to go home?”

Arissa nodded. “Of course. I want to know how the kids are doing.”

Benjamin stared at her and replied softly, “They are well taken care of at the old manor. You don’t need to worry.”

“You’re not the least bit worried about Gavin?” Arissa turned to face him.

As a parent, she was constantly worried about her children when they weren’t within her line of sight. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She would only feel at ease after seeing her children personally.

Benjamin arched his brow and kept quiet.

Arissa quickly applied ointment over his rashes, helped him put on his clothes, and called for the doctor.

The doctor gave him a checkup and prescribed him some medication.

“Mr. Graham, the nurse will be over in a bit for your injection. You don’t need to take any more injections if your rashes are completely gone by this afternoon. Remember to take your pills on time so you can recover at a faster rate,” the doctor instructed before calling for the nurse.
