Chapter 1098 Bumped Into Mary

Benjamin went to take a shower after Arissa had taken her medicine.

Arissa glanced in the direction of the bathroom and heard the sound of running water. After that, she got up, wore her slippers, and walked silently toward the door.

The moment she opened the door, she smiled when she met the gaze of the bodyguard nearby.

As she was looking around to find the elevator, the bodyguard walked up to her and asked respectfully, “Is there something you need, Mrs. Graham?”

“I want to pay Old Mr. Graham a visit,” Arissa whispered.

The bodyguard was stunned. He looked inside the ward and asked, “Did Mr. Graham let you out?”

Am I a prisoner? Arissa went on to lie by saying, “Yes. He said it's all right.”

The bodyguard didn't suspect anything, so he helped her to the elevator. “Walk slowly, Mrs. Graham!”

“Okay!” Arissa nodded and went into the elevator.

Upon reaching the floor below, she walked toward Darius' ward to sneak a peek at Darius.

“Mrs. Gra—” The bodyguards stationed outside Darius' ward saw Arissa, and their eyes lit up.

Arissa immediately gestured for them to keep quiet. “Don't make a sound. I just want to take a peek at him.”

With that, she approached the door and took a peek inside. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Darius talking to William energetically.

Since I'm already here, how can I not check up on Dad?

Arissa stood at the entrance for a while. When she turned around to leave, she bumped into Mary, who was walking out of her ward.

“Issa!” Mary hurried toward Arissa. She was over the moon when she saw Arissa because it had been days since she had last seen her.

Arissa also dashed toward Mary, and she pulled Mary back into the ward. “Grandaunt!”

“When did you two come back from your business trip?” Mary didn't notice Arissa's outfit because she was looking at Arissa's face the entire time.

Arissa smiled awkwardly and avoided the question. “I came to see you guys!”

“Why did you come to the hospital so soon after your business trip? We're fine. You should be resting at home!” Mary didn't give it much thought, and she believed that Arissa and Benjamin had just returned from a business trip.

Arissa asked Mary how she was doing and chatted with her for a while.

Suddenly, Mary asked, “Issa, why didn't you go into Old Mr. Graham's ward just now? I was on my way there.”

Arissa smiled and couldn't come up with an answer. Hence, she said, “It's late, Grandaunt. Perhaps you should just stay put. Rest early, okay? I'm going back soon. If I'm free, I'll pay you guys a visit tomorrow!”

“Why did you come to the hospital if you knew how late it was? Is Benjamin here as well?” Mary asked while holding Arissa's hand.

Arissa smiled and nodded. “He's with Dr. Bailey.”

Mary nodded in response, but she suddenly noticed that Arissa was in her pajamas.

Needless to say, she was stunned. “Um...”

Noticing Mary's gaze, Arissa smiled sheepishly and said, “I came out after taking a shower. I didn't bother changing my clothes.” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Mary kept sizing Arissa up, but again, she didn't grow suspicious.

“Go to sleep, Grandaunt! I'm going back now.” Arissa helped Mary get into bed.

“Fine. I'll sleep. Go back soon, okay? Don't worry about us.” Mary lay down on the bed and looked at Arissa lovingly. “Don't come here if you guys are busy. See you!”

“Okay!” Arissa nodded and tucked Mary in.

Meanwhile, Darius was staring at the door when he asked William, “It can't be Issa, right?”

William shot Darius a look in response. “That's impossible. No one told me Mr. Graham and Mrs. Graham are back from their business trip!”

“But I think I heard Ms. Connor calling Issa's name!” Darius couldn't take his eyes off the door.

William glanced at the door. “Old Mr. Graham, are you hearing things? If Mrs. Graham's back, she will definitely visit you. You must be hearing things because you miss her!”

“Is that so?” Darius became uncertain after he heard what William said.
