The More the Merrier

Chapter 763 Benjamin Left Early

Arissa glanced at the time and replied, “I think we’ll eat it in the hospital.” Edwin nodded and quickly headed to the kitchen to pack the food. Meanwhile, Arissa took the children’s water bottles to fill them up.

“Sweethearts, you all should drink more water. Refill it when the bottle’s empty, but be careful not to burn yourselves, okay?” she reminded the children. “Yes, Mommy!”

The six children nodded in acknowledgment. Arissa finished preparing everything, yet, Benjamin was still nowhere to be seen. After she helped the children into the car and was about to leave, Benjamin still did not show up.

“Edwin, is Benjamin not at home?” “Mr. Graham left early in the morning. Did you not know?” Edwin looked at her in confusion. With an awkward smile, Arissa answered, “I slept with the children last night, so I wasn’t aware of it.”

After bidding Edwin goodbye, she brought the kids to the hospital. As Edwin watched the car leave, he felt worried. Mr. and Mrs. Graham were fine the night before. Why did Mr. Graham leave early in the morning without informing Mrs. Graham?

He was not the only one who noticed that something was amiss. Meanwhile, in the car, the six children studied Arissa’s expression and could sense that she was upset.

“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Gavin asked out of concern. Zachary echoed, “Mommy, is something bothering you?”

Arissa snapped out of her trance and immediately felt better upon noticing the concern in the children’s eyes. She assured them with a smile, “I was just wondering if your great-grandaunt is awake yet.”

“Ms. York, we will see her soon!” Tim comforted her. Arissa caressed the children’s heads affectionately. “Would you guys like to have some food first?”
