You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 611

Arissa recalled how Benjamin kept coming in and out that morning when she sent Mary for the checkup. Finally, she realized.

Ah, Regan was at the hospital since then...

She stared at Benjamin, feeling touched.

"Don't feel moved."

Benjamin tapped on her forehead. "Go up and see Grandaunt."

Arissa glanced at him with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Okay." Benjamin tugged her toward the Inpatient wing.

He didn't forget to look over his shoulder at the kids. "Keep up."

The kids looked up at him with satisfaction, happy with his earlier performance, so they obediently dashed to keep up with him.

Arissa looked over her shoulder to check on the kids. "Sweethearts, come to the front."

A grin broke across all her six kids' faces as they hurriedly raced to the front.

"I wonder if Great-grandaunt has eaten yet?"

"I'm sure she misses us."

Arissa's eyes brightened as she looked at them. "Slow down. Careful not to trip."

Her gaze was trained firmly on the kids.

Benjamin cast a glance at her.

"You have to watch where you're going too."

Arissa shot him a side eye.

"This is a flat surface. I won't trip even if I don't look."

Her towering confidence crumbled in the next second.

She nearly slipped.

She urgently grabbed Benjamin's arm to break her fall. His eyes sharpened with amusement and a flash of anger at her blind confidence.

The floor was slightly wet.

Arissa was speechless by that fact. "Why is the floor wet?"

She regained her balance and stood up straight. With a glance at the kids, she exhaled a sigh of relief that they didn't walk over the puddle. They might've slipped otherwise.

"I told you to watch where you're going."

Benjamin's handsome face had turned stony.

Feeling guilty, Arissa shut her mouth embarrassingly. I thought he didn't mean it.

Benjamin gestured to Ethen. "Clean this up."

"Yes, Mr. Graham."

Ethen immediately went looking for the janitor. Luckily, Ms. York didn't fall.

The kids dashed back worriedly when they caught their mom almost slipping and falling.

"Sweethearts, don't come over here. Be careful."

Arissa stopped them urgently.

"Go wait by the elevator. Why are all of you back here?" Benjamin rebuked the kids with a displeased frown.

"Mommy, did you fall earlier?"

Gavin looked at her with concern.

"No, I'm fine. Just strained my thigh a little."

Arissa flashed Gavin a reassuring smile to comfort him.

"You have scared us."

Jesse patted her chest to calm her pounding heart.

Tim and the rest were staring at her with concern.

Arissa walked over to them and carried them onto the elevator. "I'm fine."

"Mommy, be careful when you're walking," Zachary reminded her with a serious look.

Arissa nodded. "I will."

She led the kids and stood at the side to let Benjamin enter. The elevator doors were about to close when Kingsley and Shaun blocked the door and squeezed in.

"Don't forget about us."

Benjamin shot them a glance and stood beside Arissa.

He swung his gaze to Tim. "Tim, close the doors."

"Okay."

Tim obediently complied and went up to the control panel to shut the doors. After contemplating briefly, he also pushed the button for their level of destination."

"Good job!"

Kingsley patted Tim's head adoringly.

"You learn so fast, Tim," Shaun complimented Tim too.

Tim's tan skin hid his blush, but everyone could see he was shy about the compliments.

Arissa was watching Tim with a kind look.

"Tim is a smart boy. What do you guys think?"

She was proud of Tim. Tim's studies were impacted by being stuck in a rural town but he's not dumb.

Kingsley chuckled and started his flattery.

"I didn't assume anything. I knew Tim was smart all along, just like you and Boss. As your child, he must have inherited your genes, so there's no way he'll be worse than the rest."

Arissa smiled.

A glint of admiration flashed across Kingsley's eyes. Arissa looks so pretty when she smiles.

Benjamin caught the admiration in Kingsley's stare and narrowed his eyes at Kingsley to throw him a silent warning.

Sensing the unpleasant gaze from Benjamin, Kingsley felt chills snaking up his spine and returned an awkward smile.

"Mrs. Graham is pretty."
