Chapter 1012

Arissa and the six kids sat together at one side. Depressed, the children remained quiet and gazed at the emergency room anxiously.

Arissa reached out to hold Benjamin's hand. When he sensed her tender touch, his eyes gleamed as he turned to look at her.

Arissa flashed a reassuring smile at him.

The six kids jogged over as well and hugged Mary's legs.
