    Chapter 243 Are You Not Worried


    “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?” he asked in a deep voice as he frowned.


    “I did!” she eximed and red at him.


    “Who would’ve heard it when your voice is so soft?” he snorted.


    She was speechless.


    You’re the one who hurt me, yet you’re defending yourself?


    “Lie down properly. I’m not done yet,” she said as she tapped his thighs. The moment she did that, his


    gaze turned dark.


    She squeezed some ointments on her fingertips and started applying his back.


    He felt the coolness of the ointment as soon as she applied it. Other than the cooling sensation of the


    ointment, he felt a little numbing sensation.


    Something flickered in his eyes as his breathing becamebored.


    Arissa felt that the atmosphere was getting a little steamy, so she sped up.


    She didn’t think much about it when Benjamin was still unconscious, but when he looked at her as she


    applied the ointment on his body, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.


    Her face blushed.


    “Are you helping me to scratch the areas that itch?” he asked while staring at her with narrowed eyes.


    Her heart skipped a beat, and she grinned. “Just a little bit more,” she said and quickly applied the


    patches on his thighs before she put the ointment away. Right after she had done that, she reached for


    the nket and covered him up with it.

    Ah… That’s better. I can look at him more normally now.


    “Do you want to drink some water?” she asked to break the silence.


    Why is he staring at me like that? What is he looking at?


    “Mm.”


    Arissa quickly adjusted the head of the hospital bed and ced a pillow on his back. Once she was


    done with that, she turned to pour a ss of water for him.


    Benjamin was a little dumbfounded by her obedience. Is she behaving like this out of guilt for what


    happened to me?


    When she put the ss to his mouth, he took a few quick gulps.


    “Slow down!” she eximed. She was afraid that he would choke.


    “Shall I get a straw for you?” she asked.


    Benjamin lifted his head and red at her again. Her heart skipped a beat in response.


    “Are you treating me like a child?”


    “What? No! It’s easier to drink with a straw in this condition,” she denied while shaking her head


    immediately.


    In fact, that was how she took care of her kids when they were sick. However, she would never tell him


    that.


    Benjamin nced briefly at her before he took the ss from her and drank on his own.


    When Arissa saw how the lump on his throat moved up and down as he drank from the ss, she


    couldn’t help feeling attracted by that movement.


    Her eyes lit up.


    Oh? The swelling on his face and neck seems to have reduced.


    “Do you want some more?”


    “No,” he said and passed the empty ss to her, which she took from him almost immediately and put


    it aside.


    “Would you like to lie down?”


    “No. This is fine,” he said and reached for his phone. Benjamin only remembered that he wasn’t


    wearing anything when he touched his bare thigh.


    “Pass me my phone!”


    “Okay,” she replied and went to get his pants and dug around for his phone in his pocket. Once she got


    it, she quickly passed it to him.


    When she remembered that she hadn’t updated Ethen about Benjamin’s condition, she quickly took her


    phone out to type a text message.


    She texted him: Mr. Frank, Mr. Graham is awake now. He has gotten a little better, so don’t worry!


    “Who are you texting?” Benjamin asked as he nced at her.


    “Mr. Frank. He’s worried sick about you,” she replied and continued to check her phone for any


    messages that she hadn’t responded to.


    Benjamin frowned. “What about you? Aren’t you worried about me?”


    “I am!” she blurted out and blushed immediately. “I wasn’t only worried about you. I was scared to


    death when your body started burning up and fainted.”


    Benjamin felt a lot better when she told him that she was worried about him, but his heart sank when


    he heard the second part.


    Ugh. That’s embarrassing.


    “Don’t you know that you’re allergic to food like natto? Why did you eat so much anyway?” she nagged.


    “I’ve never eaten it before, so I wouldn’t know,” Benjamin replied arrogantly.


    Arissa had no way to counter that.


    “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that you can’t eat that,” she apologized.


    His lips curled slightly when he saw how sincerely she was apologizing. His mood became better right


    away.


    “Are you guilty?”
