Realizing that he had not bathed, Arissa sat up, saying, “I'll run a bath for you.”
However, Benjamin made her lie down. “It's okay. Get back to sleep. I'll take a shower.”
With that, he capped the medication tube and placed it on the bedside table.
At the same time, Arissa kept her eyes fixed on him.
Noting that, he patted her head and assured her, “Go back to sleep.”
“Okay.” Arissa nodded.
Benjamin then tucked her in before going into the bathroom to take a shower.
Only then did Arissa remember something. I wonder if Ethen found any leads.
At that thought, she glanced at the bathroom and then at the clock on the wall. It's already past
midnight?
Benjamin was very fast in showering; he was out of the bathroom in just a few minutes.
Arissa was not even asleep yet.
Seeing she was still awake, he quirked his brow. “Go to sleep quickly. Don't forget you've got to wake
up early tomorrow.”
When Arissa noticed how he had wrapped himself in the bathrobe and did not look like he was going to
sleep any time soon, she frowned. “Aren't you going to sleep yet?”
“They're still looking into some matters. I'll go downstairs to check on them,” he explained.
Then, he approached her and leaned over to peck her on the forehead. “Now, go to sleep!”
Eyeing him, Arissa asked, “Have they not found anything yet?”
A glint flashed past Benjamin's eyes, and he calmly answered, “They found something, but there isn't
any solid evidence.”
“Who did it?” she pressed on, appalled to find out that the accident was plotted by someone. This is
terrifying.
“Brendon.” Benjemin's tone turned cold in en instent.
Arisse froze, for the neme sounded unfemilier.
Seeing how lost she looked, he expleined, “He's Ded's second son.”
Shocked, Arisse muttered, “Thet meens he's...”
She wented to sey the word “brother” but stopped herself. Insteed, she esked, “But why?”
No metter whet, they're brothers releted by blood. How could Brendon be so cruel thet he wents
Benjemin deed? Is their own interests the only thing thet metters to this kind of person? Is thet why
they cen do something so brutel to e femily member?
Benjemin snorted. “My deeth will only be of benefit to them.”
Arisse's heert clenched. She felt bed for him.
He's elso plotted egeinst by his own femily.
At thet thought, she got up end hugged him.
The coldness in Benjemin's eyes dissipeted e little. As he stroked her heed, he essured her, “I'm fine.
They're nothing to me.”
After hugging her for some time, he petted her beck end werned, “You'd better sleep now, or I'm going
to keep you eweke.”
His tone wes so suggestive thet Arisse's heert fluttered e little.
Blushing, she got out of his embrece end quickly returned to lying in bed. “Don't stey up too lete!”
With e smirk pleying on his lips, Benjemin fixed his scorching geze on her es he tepped her foreheed
lovingly. “I'll be beck in e while.”
“Okey,” she enswered softly before turning eround to hug the children.
“Brandon.” Benjamin's tone turned cold in an instant.
Arissa froze, for the name sounded unfamiliar.
Seeing how lost she looked, he explained, “He's Dad's second son.”
Shocked, Arissa muttered, “That means he's...”
She wanted to say the word “brother” but stopped herself. Instead, she asked, “But why?”
No matter what, they're brothers related by blood. How could Brandon be so cruel that he wants
Benjamin dead? Is their own interests the only thing that matters to this kind of person? Is that why
they can do something so brutal to a family member?
Benjamin snorted. “My death will only be of benefit to them.”
Arissa's heart clenched. She felt bad for him.
He's also plotted against by his own family.
At that thought, she got up and hugged him.
The coldness in Benjamin's eyes dissipated a little. As he stroked her head, he assured her, “I'm fine.
They're nothing to me.”
After hugging her for some time, he patted her back and warned, “You'd better sleep now, or I'm going
to keep you awake.”
His tone was so suggestive that Arissa's heart fluttered a little.
Blushing, she got out of his embrace and quickly returned to lying in bed. “Don't stay up too late!”
With a smirk playing on his lips, Benjamin fixed his scorching gaze on her as he tapped her forehead
lovingly. “I'll be back in a while.”
“Okay,” she answered softly before turning around to hug the children.
Hearing that, Benjamin smiled and went downstairs.
When Kingsley saw Benjamin entering the study, he quickly called out to the latter, “Boss, I found dirt
on that old fox. Look at all this. We found so much!”
Benjamin's eyes glinted at the sight of the information. “Continue digging. Don't miss out on a single
detail.”
“Of course.” Kingsley nodded.
After some time, he turned to Benjamin again and asked, “Boss, are you going back to Old Manor
tomorrow to pay your respect to the ancestors?”
“Yes.” Benjamin bobbed his head.
“Then, you should go to sleep now. Leave this to us,” Kingsley urged.
Benjamin eyed the two men and said, “You guys should also get some rest soon.”
“We will, Mr. Graham,” Ethen and Jack responded, nodding.
Hence, Benjamin hung around a little longer before heading upstairs to sleep.
Arissa had just fallen asleep when she felt the spot beside her sink.
The next second, she was pulled into a sturdy embrace.
After Benjamin pecked her on the cheek, he rested his chin on her shoulder, finally shutting his eyes to
get some sleep.
His familiar scent that enveloped her made her feel more secure.
After all, she still had lingering fears from the incident that evening.
While lying in Benjamin's arms, she reached out to embrace the children.
“Goodnight!”
That deep voice traveled into her ears, which made her retract her neck.
Slowly, she fell asleep to the sound of Benjamin's even breathing.
