You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 1013

It was not until almost two hours had passed that Darius was wheeled out of the emergency room.

“Dad!” They all rushed forward.

Someone from Bryan's family nearly knocked Arissa to the ground. Fortunately, Benjamin caught her and helped to steady her, but his expression turned grim.

“Watch it!”

His fury was directed at Susanna.

“I'm all right,” Arissa reassured him before staring anxiously at Darius.

“Doctor, how's Old Mr. Graham?”

“How's my dad, Shaun?”

Shaun came out closely behind, but he ignored everyone else and walked straight up to Benjamin.

After taking off his mask, he reported to the latter regarding Darius' condition, “Old Mr. Graham is out of danger, Benjamin. There's nothing serious, but you still have to be careful not to agitate him too much.”

Benjamin could finally breathe a sigh of relief after hearing that. “Okay. Got it.”

Shaun then gave instructions to have Darius sent to the ward, and everyone followed suit.

Arissa herded her children there with Mary, discovering that the latter's ward was on the same floor.

“Old Mr. Graham needs to rest. Everyone should wait for him to wake up before visiting him. We don't need too many people here. Please go back, everyone!”

Using his authority as a doctor, Shaun helped Benjamin issue the instruction while standing at the entrance of the ward, preventing anyone from entering and disturbing Darius' rest.

Everyone standing outside the door took a glance, and only after confirming that Darius' condition was stable did they leave feeling relieved.

Bryan and his wife also left with their children.

The members of Nick's family saw them leave and decided they did not want to stay either, so they followed them. After all, Nick was still at the police station.

Nick's wife initially intended to ask Benjamin to intercede for her husband but ultimately decided against it as she believed Nick to be innocent. She thought that it must have been a mistake.

“Those people finally left. It's much more peaceful now!” Kingsley remarked with a scoff.

Jonathan nodded. “It's just for show!”

He was referring to the members of Bryan's and Nick's families.

“Mr. Bailey, can we visit Grandpa?” Gavin raised his head and asked Shaun. His brows were tightly knit, and his eyes were filled with worry.

The same expression was on the faces of Tim, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse as they fixed their red-rimmed eyes on the doctor.

Shaun's heart ached when he saw their worried looks. Crouching down, he patted their heads and said comfortingly, “Your grandpa just had surgery, so let him rest. Don't worry, Sweethearts. I'm here.”

He then patted his chest and assured, “You can come and play with him when he wakes up.”

“Okay. We got it. Thank you, Mr. Bailey,” the six children replied gratefully.



Shaun caressed their heads affectionately. “Such good children. You guys must've been so scared!”

“Of course not!” Jasper refuted while sniffling, looking extremely adorable.

“No? Why are your eyes so red then?” Shaun asked them teasingly.
