Making Sure Arissa Takes Her Medicine
Amidst Benjamin’s deep breathing in his sleep, sleepiness gradually descended upon Arissa. Before
she knew it, she, too, was in dreamland.
When she woke up the next day and didn’t see Benjamin, she had a sudden realization. She grabbed
the alarm clock beside her and saw that it was nine o’clock.
“Argh!” Arissa exclaimed as she jumped out of bed. She hurried into the bathroom before dashing out
in the blink of an eye.
She ran down the stairs, only to be greeted by silence. It was quiet, with nary a soul in sight.
“Grandaunt? Sweethearts?”
Have they gone to the hospital?
Hearing the sound outside, Edwin rushed out of the kitchen.
When he saw Arissa looking around, he informed her at once, “Ms. York, Mr. Graham has brought
everyone to the hospital.”
Arissa was annoyed. “Why didn’t they wake me up?”
Why did I oversleep? How could I have not heard anything in the morning?
She had slept through the entire night uninterrupted.
Edwin smiled. “Mr. Graham said that you were sleeping soundly and told us not to wake you up. Ms.
York, Mdm. Mary will be staying at the hospital for a while now. You should wash up while I reheat your
breakfast.”
Arissa was embarrassed because of Edwin’s nosy gaze. “What time did they leave?”
“A little past six.”
That’s early!
Arissa pursed her lips before heading back upstairs to brush her teeth.
In ten minutes, she got herself dressed and came back down with her handbag.
“Mrs. Graham, come over and have your breakfast. I’ll take you to the hospital after that.”
Edwin was waiting by the staircase with a smile.
Arissa felt nonplussed. “Edwin, you’re teasing me again by addressing me as Mrs. Graham.”
Edwin chuckled. “William told me that you promised to register your marriage with Mr. Graham. Are you
going back on your word?”
Arissa cleared her throat awkwardly and murmured, “I did that to pacify Old Mr. Graham.”
Edwin’s eyes widened. He said in a serious tone, “Mrs. Graham, Old Mr. Graham will be saddened if
you change your mind.”
Arissa’s lips twitched. She went to the dining room to grab something to eat along the way.
“Mrs. Graham, you should have your meal here at home. Mr. Graham has instructed me to boil the
medicinal soup for you. It’s ready. You can have it once you finish your breakfast.”
Arissa was stunned. “What medicine is that?”
Edwin answered, “The one you have been taking prior to this. It’s good for regulating your health.”
“Okay.”
Arissa settled down for breakfast. She could already taste the bitterness on her tongue.
Edwin was amused when he saw how Arissa was grimacing in fear of the medicine.
“Mrs. Graham, Mr. Graham has already gotten Mr. Bailey to adjust the composition of the medicine. It’s
not going to be bitter.”
Touched by the gesture, Arissa looked at Edwin. “It’s not?”
Edwin nodded. “That’s right. It’s not. Mr. Bailey assured us of it. If you still feel that it is, we’ll get him to
further adjust the formula.”
Arissa sighed in her heart as she resigned herself to drinking the medicine.
While they were eating, Edwin’s phone rang. It was Benjamin on the line.
“Mr. Graham!”
Arissa looked up.
“Okay. Mrs. Graham just got up and is having breakfast… All right.”
After exchanging a few words with Benjamin, Edwin handed the phone to Arissa. “Mrs. Graham, Mr.
Graham wants to talk to you.”
Arissa felt simply embarrassed.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Are you having breakfast?” Benjamin’s deep voice rang out and traveled into her ears.
“Yeah.”
“Remember to take your medicine once you finish your breakfast,” Benjamin reminded in a tone that
had no room for dissent.
“Okay.” She let out a cursory acknowledgment.
“Arissa, take your medicine!” Benjamin’s voice was deeper by a few octaves.
“I know,” she answered in resignation.
“Grandaunt has completed her checkup and has been put on a drip. There’s no need for you to hurry
over. The kids are here too. You can come by later or even in the afternoon,” Benjamin said.
Arissa listened as she ate. “Has Grandaunt’s condition stabilized?”
