“Daddy, has Grandpa woken up yet?” Gavin asked once again.

Benjamin turned to check on Darius.

“Not yet.”

“Okay. We'll hang up now. Go keep Grandpa company.”

The kids ended the call after that.

Benjamin chuckled and put his phone away before returning to the ward to stay by Darius' side.

Meanwhile, at Yaleview, Arissa and Edwin were done preparing lunch. Arissa served the kids soup to ease their

hunger first.

“Come here, Sweethearts.”

The kids ran over when they heard their mother calling for them.

“What is it, Mommy?”

The kids surrounded Arissa and stared at her.

“Sweethearts, drink some soup first. I need to go to the restroom. We'll visit Grandpa and Great-grandaunt in the

hospital in a bit,” Arissa instructed the kids.

“Mommy, we want to eat at the hospital!” Zachary shouted.

“Drink your soup first. We still have time, and I don't want you to go hungry.”

Arissa quickly went upstairs.

She had rushed to prepare lunch when she returned home just now and had yet to change.

“Come on, kids. Hurry up and drink your soup. We'll leave right after. It'll take some time for us to get to the

hospital. You guys will be very hungry by then, so drink up,” Edwin persuaded the kids.

The kids had no choice but to sit at the table and drink the soup since it had already been served.

“Be careful, it's hot,” Edwin reminded the children affectionately.

“Mr. Whitley, are you not eating?” they asked.

Edwin smiled. “I'm not hungry yet.”

Arissa washed up hastily in the restroom and changed into a fresh set of clothes. She then removed her necklace

and earrings, as she still had them on, and placed them back in her jewelry box.

However, she did keep her bracelet on.

The kids were almost done with their soup when Arissa went back downstairs.

“Mommy, we're done!” the kids reported.

Arissa smiled. “That was fast.”

“Of course! After all, you were rushing us, Mommy,” Jasper said proudly.

“Let's go to the hospital, Sweethearts. Do any of you need to use the bathroom before we leave?” Arissa asked.

The kids looked at each other before shaking their heads.

“Let's go then!”

Arissa picked up part of the food she had packed for everyone while Edwin carried the rest since he would also be

visiting Darius at the hospital.

They traveled in a car with Edwin in the front passenger seat. He waited till Arissa and the kids were buckled up

before instructing the driver to drive.

The kids were elated to see Edwin coming along and chatted with him while Arissa texted Benjamin.

Arissa: Edwin, the kids, and I have departed for the hospital. Has Dad woken up yet?

Benjamin saw her text message and replied: Not yet.

Arissa sighed, concerned over Darius' well-being.

Arissa: See you soon!

Benjamin: Okay!

Arissa smiled when she saw his instant reply.

“Mommy, who are you texting?” Jesse scooted over to see but couldn't as the screen had darkened to lock itself.

Arissa glanced at Jesse and noticed that the rest of the kids were also staring at her. With a smile, she answered,

“It's your daddy.”

“Oh!” Jasper smiled teasingly.

Arissa stared at him. “What?”

Jasper merely grinned wider and kept quiet.

“Mommy, what did you say to Daddy?” Gavin's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Arissa looked at the kids with a smile.

“I told him we're on the way and asked if your grandpa has woken up.”

“Mrs. Graham, is Old Mr. Graham awake?” Edwin turned to face Arissa.

Arissa shook her head as her smile dimmed. “Not yet.”

The kids sighed, worried about Darius. “Why hasn't Grandpa woken up?”

“He will!” Arissa assured the kids.
