What Got Her So Emotional
Benjamin turned to look at Shaun. “Did you know she had all those health issues?”
Shaun then responded with a slight nod. “It’s best we get her to do a complete checkup. That way, we’ll
know for sure what’s going on.”
Benjamin, too, nodded and agreed that would be the best course of action.
When Bradley returned from the counter, Benjamin beckoned to the man. “Do you know what got her
so emotional?”
Bradley tried to look away when he answered, “Danna threatened Boss with her child. Maybe you
should ask Boss the details when she’s awake.”
With his eyes narrowed at Bradley, Benjamin emanated an aura so intense that the man shrank
fearfully in response.
Shaun quickly patted Benjamin on the shoulder when he saw how terrified Bradley was. “Let’s see
what Mrs. Graham has to say. I’m sure she’ll be awake soon.”
After glancing at Bradley for one last time, Benjamin turned around and went back inside the room.
Shaun swiftly pulled Bradley aside when the man was about to go in after Benjamin. “I know that you
know exactly what happened to your boss.”
Compared to Benjamin, Shaun was far less intimidating to Bradley.
“We should wait until Boss awakes.”
“You can tell me first. I promise I won’t tell Benjamin,” persuaded Shaun with a smile.
Still, Bradley shook his head in response. “This is Boss’ personal matter. It’s not right for me to talk
about it.”
Shaun then scowled at Bradley, for he never thought that the man would be so tight-lipped. “I’m a
doctor, remember? How am I supposed to know what’s wrong with her if you don’t tell me?”
Even though Shaun continued to persuade Bradley, the man still did not budge in the end.
On the other side, Benjamin could not help but knit his brows tightly when he stared at Arissa’s pale
face.
The man then leaned over to touch Arissa’s cheek as he wondered what happened that got her so
emotional.
He could not help but blame Danna, who remained troublesome even though she had been put away.
After staying beside Arissa for some time, Benjamin went out to the balcony and called Ethen to take
care of some matters.
Not long after that, Adams Group’s stock price plummeted like a landslide without warning.
Suddenly, Benjamin heard a groan coming from inside, so he quickly rushed back to Arissa’s side.
“Does it hurt somewhere?”
Arissa was stunned when she saw Benjamin. “Why are you here?”
However, Benjamin said nothing in response but caressed her cheek before calling for Shaun, who
nodded politely at Arissa as soon as he stepped inside the room.
Shaun then pressed the call button, which immediately got Benjamin glaring at him. “I don’t have
anything with me, so I can’t do the checkup myself,” explained Shaun with an embarrassed smile.
It was only then that Arissa realized she was in a hospital and remembered that she had passed out.
Afterward, the doctor did a checkup on Arissa and found all the indicators to be normal.
“Get some rest,” reminded the doctor, who slowed down the IV drip before leaving the room.
“Do you want some water?” Benjamin asked Arissa in a soft voice.
“Yes,” answered Arissa with a nod.
The man then helped Arissa up and got her a glass of water.
Standing nearby, Shaun could not help but be amused when he saw how caring Benjamin was.
“Boss, are you feeling better?” inquired Bradley the second he entered the room.
“Much better. Sorry for worrying you.” Even though Arissa was still weak, she tried to sound cheery.
“You almost gave me a heart attack when you passed out!” exclaimed Bradley.
However, all Arissa could remember was how painful her head was before she blacked out.
“You should drink more water.” Benjamin handed Arissa another glass of water while holding her up.
Only after she was done drinking did Benjamin help her lay back down.
Staring at the others, Arissa inquired, “Why are you all here?”
“I’m only here because of Benjamin. He was worried sick about you,” replied Shaun with another smile.
Arissa then shifted her attention to Benjamin, who immediately suggested, “You should get more rest.”
The man then gestured for Shaun and Bradley to leave the room.
After exchanging looks, the two decided to do as Benjamin wished since Arissa was fine.
