Chapter 782


    Chapter 782 Who Is More Important


    Shaun asked Benjamin curiously, “What phone call?”


    Benjamin’s silence spoke volumes. The doctor stared at his silent friend. Realization dawned on him,


    and he asked cautiously, “Did you answer Rosetta’s phone call?”


    Benjamin pursed his lips in response. His actions immediately confirmed Shaun’s suspicions. He


    approached Benjamin and asked, “Are you still hung up on her?”


    No one had dared to mention Rosetta’s name in Benjamin’s presence since she went overseas. Today,


    however, Shaun had broken the sacred rule.


    Benjamin remained silent and stared into the distance. It was impossible to gauge his thoughts.


    “Rosetta’s back at the worst time. I mean, it’s your choice if you choose to be with her. But as your


    friend, I feel obliged to remind you that Arissa’s an excellent woman. She single-handedly raised four


    kids out of the six she birthed for you. It was a dangerous situation, and it mustn’t have been easy for


    her to pull through. Mrs. Graham’s a sensible woman, and I’m sure she’ll understand once you share


    your thoughts with her. Don’t do anything stupid to hurt anyone, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your


    life!”


    His and Kingsley’s observations told them that Benjamin truly cared about Arissa.


    However, with Rosetta’s untimely return, it was difficult to tell which woman held a more important


    ce in Benjamin’s heart.


    Shaun sighed, wondering if Benjamin had absorbed even a smidge of his lengthy advice.


    Atst, Benjamin announced, “I’m going in to see if they’re done!”


    He abruptly turned and entered the ward, trailed by Shaun.


    Arissa had finished feeding Mary, and the children were presently joking with the patient, who was


    beaming with joy.


    When Mary saw Benjamining into the ward, she smiled at him and said to Arissa, “Why don’t you


    all head back? There’s nothing else to do here, and I have ns to catch something on the TV with


    some fellow patients!”


    Arissa teased, “Wow, Grandaunt, how many friends have you made in the hospital?”


    “It’s boring here, and Dr. Bailey was kind enough to wheel me out so I could meet some patients. They


    all live on the same floor and invited me to watch television with them tonight!”


    Arissa was relieved that Mary had settled in well at the hospital. A short whileter, she went home with


    Benjamin and the children.


    Sensing that the children missed Mary dearly, Arissa cajoled, “You can video call your great-grandaunt


    tonight if you miss her!”


    “Okay!”


    Satisfied with their mother’s suggestion, the six children held hands and entered the elevator together.


    Benjamin held Arissa’s hand and strode toward the elevator.


    Arissa pulled her hand out of his grasp, and her surprise only grew when she met Benjamin’s gaze.


    He merely held her hand again and said, “Come on!”


    Is he extending an olive branch to me right now? Arissa’s heart churned with conflicting emotions.


    Still, it seemed unlikely given Benjamin’s serious demeanor.


    Amid her musings, Jasper raised his head and looked at Arissa. “Are we going home, Mommy?”


    Arissa stared at her son and asked, “Where else can we go?”

    He smiled cheekily and exchanged knowing nces with Zachary and the others.


    Then, he whined, “Mommy, you haven’t brought us out to y in a long time!”


    So he wants to y. Arissa smiled fondly and looked at the other children. “Do the rest of you want to


    go out too?”


    Oliver and Jesse nodded, while Gavin and Zachary shook their heads.


    Tim appeared bewildered, unsure of his response.


    “Everyone has different opinions!” Arissaughed at the scene.


    Jasper red at Gavin and Zachary, using, “Didn’t we agree?”


    “That wasst time!” Zachary flicked his brother on the head. “Mommy’s so tired after work. We


    shouldn’t go out!”


    Gavin nodded his agreement. “Yeah. We can go out another day!”


    Pouting, Jasper looked at Arissa. “Bring us out to y this weekend, Mommy!”


    Touched by her children’s thoughtfulness, Arissa immediately agreed to Jasper’s request.


    “Fine. Mommy will bring you out to y this weekend. Sorry, we’re a little tight on time today.”


    “Are you busy with somethingter, Mommy?” Gavin stared intently at his mother.
