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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBenjamin 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!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Of course not!” Jasper refuted while sniffling, looking extremely adorable.
“No? Why are your eyes so red then?” Shaun asked them teasingly.
“That's because sand got in our eyes!” Jesse also denied that she had cried by retorting in
her cute voice.
The adults could not help but burst into laughter.
At that moment, Ethen inched closer to Benjamin and reported in a low voice, “Everything
has been arranged, Mr. Graham.”
The latter inclined his head a fraction.
By then, there were already several bodyguards stationed outside Darius' ward.
“Tell them that no one can enter other than us!”
“Understood.” Ethen nodded before giving out the instructions accordingly.
“Grandaunt, go back and rest. Everything is fine here now,” Benjamin said to Mary.
“All right.” The latter did not refuse, not wanting to cause them any trouble.
“You take the children back too. I'll stay and keep Dad company for a while.”
Benjamin also instructed Arissa to take the children home first since there was no need for
too many people to be around the hospital.
She looked at him and replied, “All right, I'll take them home. Let me know if Dad wakes
up.”
Benjamin nodded before instructing Ethen to drive them back.
