Chapter 370 Hemophobia

"Thank you!"

Arissa thanked him and wanted to head to the restroom by herself.

Yet, Benjamin supported her and also followed her in.

Awkwardly, Arissa waited for the man to leave. However, Benjamin continued to stay inside and did not seem like he was exiting. He had already turned around to give her the privacy she needed.

She gulped and softly asked, "Graham, could you wait outside?"

Benjamin turned around with a profound look in his eyes. "Hurry up!"

Arissa was dumbfounded, and her face turned as red as a tomato.

"How could I use the toilet if you are still here?”

Benjamin frowned and replied, "Why are you so shy? Hurry up! My hand is getting sore." The bag of IV drips was still in his hands.

Looking at the wall, Arissa whined, "You can hang it on the wall!"

Unfortunately, Benjamin acted as if he did not hear her and continued standing there with his back facing her.

Feeling shy, Arissa bit her lips.

Ugh. I have to use the toilet now. If I continue to argue with Benjamin, I might pee in my pants.

With no other choice, she cautiously stared at the man standing in the restroom in case he peeked over.

She felt her face grow hot after she finished relieving herself. Embarrassed, she quickly pulled up her pants and flushed the toilet.

Then, she headed to the sink to wash her hands.

Benjamin spotted her coming closer from his peripheral vision, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

Once Arissa finished washing her hands, she rushed out, attempting to hide her embarrassment. Unaware of the step by the door, she tripped.

Benjamin's heart almost stopped, and he reached out to catch her by her waist.

Frowning, he softly asked, "Why are you so clumsy? Did you hurt yourself?"

"Nope!"

Arissa stood up.

Out of nowhere, Benjamin handed the IV drip to her and instructed, "Take this."

Although Arissa was puzzled by his request, she still took it.

Before she knew it, Benjamin swept her off her feet and carried her.

"Oh!"

Arissa yelped.

Looking at the woman in his arms, he shushed her.

Immediately, Arissa kept quiet. She could only blink at him like a pitiful child.

There was a hint of amusement in Benjamin's eyes.

When Arissa's eyes met Benjamin's, she quickly averted her gaze and lowered her head shyly.

At the same time, Arissa spotted blood flowing back into the IV drip, and her heart skipped a beat.

"B-Blood-"

She felt shortness of breath and wanted to faint from the shock.

As soon as Benjamin spotted it, his expression changed, and he briskly strode toward the bed.

After he placed her down, he quickly fixed the IV drip in place.

Then, the blood slowly flowed back.

"Everything is okay now!"

Arissa looked at him, still feeling uncertain.

In response, Benjamin chuckled. "Are you hemophobia?"

Slowly turning her gaze to the drip, Arissa finally heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed the blood flowing back.

How frightening!

"I was shocked by the sudden sight of it!"

Benjamin did not argue with her and poured a glass of water for her.

"Are you hungry?"

Arissa nodded fervently in his direction.

Stroking her head with affection, Benjamin assured her, "I've sent someone to buy food for you. It won't take long."

Those words touched Arissa.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Arissa blushed and felt more alert than ever as Benjamin fixated his eyes on her.

"No." She shook her head.

Benjamin then adjusted the drip and informed her, "Earlier, Gavin called you. Since you were asleep, I did not wake you up."

Hearing that, Arissa anxiously grabbed her phone to return her child's call.

She did not even waste a second calling him back. Benjamin frowned at her actions.

As soon as Gavin received Arissa's call, he excitedly announced, "Mommy is calling!"

At once, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse rushed over to him. "Answer her call now!"

Nodding, the oldest child answered her call and placed it in speaker mode.

The five children chorused, "Mommy!"

"Is this Mommy?"

Arissa giggled at their sweet voices and gently responded, "Yes, it's me. Sweethearts, I heard you called me earlier."

"Yes!"

Gavin added, "But Daddy answered it, not you!"

Standing beside Arissa, Benjamin's heart soared when he heard what the boy called him.

"I was asleep earlier, so I couldn't come to the phone," Arissa explained.

"Mommy, are you feeling better?" Zachary asked out of concern.

Oliver also probed, "Mommy, you shouldn't stay in bed too much either. You should move around too!"
