Chapter 982
All of a sudden, a truck rushed toward them from the junction.
Arissa's heart lurched when she saw the truck.
“Watch out!”
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid the truck.
Squeak! came the ear-piercing sound of the tires skidding on the ground.
Just as Arissa turned around to console the children, she hit her forehead against the back
of the chair. The world spun around her.
The children's faces were drained of all colors as they gripped tightly onto each other's
hands.
However, Benjamin didn't even have time to reassure them at that moment. He had
avoided a collision with the truck, but he could not avoid driving into the pedestrian lane.
After the terrifying moment, Benjamin finally turned to Arissa and asked worriedly, “Are
you hurt?”
Arissa could feel something wet on her forehead. She held her head and leaned against
her seat motionlessly because moving around would only make her dizziness worse.
She replied: “I'm fine. Check on the kids!'
Despite the dizziness she was suffering, she was distraught about the children.

At that, Benjamin quickly whipped his head around to check on them.
“Are you all hurt?”
The six children's faces were pale, and they had not fully come back to their senses as
they shook their heads in a daze.
Benjamin sighed in relief. He was glad that they were fine, and once that wave of relief
washed over him, he cast a grim look outside.
The truck had overturned, and a few other cars were caught up in the accident.
Nonetheless, the situation was not too grave, but traffic congestion had manifested, and
sounds of honking filled the air.
The bodyguard who had been following Benjamin's car came over to check on them.
“Mr. Graham, are you hurt?”
“No,” Benjamin said as he wound down the window. “Find out what's going on.”
“Yes, sir.”
The bodyguard then left to check on the situation.
After a while, Arissa turned around to look at the children. “Sweethearts, are you all
okay?”
That was so dangerous. If not for Benjamin's quick reaction and good driving skills in
avoiding the truck, we would have...
“Mommy, we're fine,” came Gavin's shaky voice. For a child his age, he was already pretty
calm.
Arissa checked on the other kids.
Tim was biting down on his lower lip, and even the usually collected Zachary was
completely pale as his hands trembled while holding onto his brother's.
Oliver's glasses were gone, and she guessed that the impact earlier had caused them to
fall off.
Jasper and Jesse were expressionless, but there were tears in their eyes.
Arissa hastily unbuckled her seatbelt, wanting to embrace her children, but Benjamin
stopped her.
In a solemn tone, he said, “You're hurt.”
“I'm fine. It was only a minor hit. I'm going to go to our kids.”
His face grim, Benjamin furrowed his brows tightly and ordered with a tinge of worry, “Sit.
I'm going to stop the bleeding for you.”
Finally, Arissa frowned and lowered her head to look at her hand. Indeed, there was blood
on it.

Zachary's eyes reddened instantly out of fear.
At that, the rest of the children returned to their senses. When they saw the blood flowing
down from Arissa's head, they were frightened.
All of them promptly unbuckled their seatbelts to bombard her with worried questions as
tears sprang to their eyes.
“I'm all right. Don't worry,” Arissa reassured them. “Are you all okay?”
The children bobbed their heads hastily. “Mommy, we're fine.”
“Mommy, that's a lot of blood!”
“It's okay...”
Benjamin took the first aid kit that they kept in the car to treat Arissa's wound.
“Don't move. I'll send you to the hospital now,” Benjamin said to her before asking the
children to sit back. Then, he reversed the car.
“I don't need to go to the hospital. It's just a scratch,” Arissa said, stopping him. She never
thought she would bleed from just scraping her head against the back of the seat.
I probably didn't realize it because the pain was too intense earlier.
“Just a scratch? You're bleeding!” Benjamin cried out before ignoring her and continuing
his way to the hospital.
The children remained quiet in the back as they stared at their mother anxiously.
