Chapter 1077 Is My Wife Okay

Arissa waited for news about the trial when she was done eating breakfast with Benjamin.

She would glance at the time occasionally, feeling anxious. She wanted to call Jonathan to ask about the situation but was worried she would disturb him.

“Why are you sighing?” Benjamin turned to look at her. She had been sighing multiple times now.

“Did I?” Arissa met his eyes, unsure if she had done it or not.

Benjamin shook his head and smiled lightly. “You've already sighed four times.”

Arissa smiled sheepishly in response.

The man took a seat beside her and put her phone aside. “Get some rest. You have a check-up later.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Arissa bit her lip and nodded. “All right.”

Benjamin patted her head and said gently, “Don't worry. Ethen will call me if something happens there.”

Arissa's eyes lit up instantly. “Ethen is there, too?”

Benjamin shot her a glance. “Are you that happy to hear that?”

The woman's lips twitched when she sensed his sarcastic tone. “What's wrong? I just wanted to ask about the trial.”

Benjamin cocked a brow. However, seeing how eager she was to know, he grabbed his phone and dialed Ethen's number.

“He didn't answer, so he's probably inside at the moment.” As he spoke, he held the phone in front of her to let her have a look.

Arissa glanced at it and let out a sigh.

“Look at you. You're sighing again!” Benjamin said and playfully pinched her cheek.

Arissa froze and realized she had indeed sighed again.

She pursed her lips and looked at him awkwardly.

Benjamin kept his gaze on her when suddenly a nurse walked in.

“Are you ready, Mrs. Graham? It's time for your check-up.”

“Yes!” Arissa answered.

Hearing that, the nurse pushed a wheelchair over.

Benjamin helped her up, then carried her to the wheelchair once he put on a coat for her.

“Let me do it,” he said as he pushed Arissa to the examination room.

The nurse could not help but feel envious when she saw the good relationship the couple had. “Both of you have a great relationship, Mr. and Mrs. Graham.”

Arissa could tell the nurse meant what she said. “You haven't seen how he orders me around! I used to take care of him when he was hospitalized. He'd ask me to do this and that. It was so troublesome!”

The nurse chuckled. “Perhaps Mr. Graham did it on purpose to tease you.”

“He did. He was being mischievous on purpose!” Arissa said, smiling widely.

Benjamin looked down at her. “I was being mischievous?”

Arissa snorted. “Was I wrong?”

Benjamin did not respond, and he continued to push her to the examination room.

He followed her into the room for her ultrasound. Following the doctor's instructions, he carried Arissa to the bed and knelt down to take off her shoes.

The doctor smiled gently at the sight before him.

Arissa retracted her legs and said softly, “I'll do it myself.”

“Don't move. We can go back early if the check-up finishes quickly.”

Benjamin swept a glance at her and pulled her feet close. He took off her shoes and helped her lie down.

“You should go out first,” Arissa said while lying on the bed.

“I'll stay here with you.” Benjamin stepped aside instead of leaving.

The doctor did not ask him to leave at the sight of this. They were husband and wife, after all.

“It's okay even if he stays.”

Arissa had no choice but to cooperate and soon finished her checkup.

“Is my wife okay, doctor?” Benjamin asked anxiously.

“She's fine. Mrs. Graham is recuperating well.”

The doctor only ended the session when he had done a thorough checkup.

Of course, Benjamin was glad to hear that. He helped Arissa to clean up the ultrasound gel and straightened her shirt. Only then did he carry her back to the wheelchair.

“You must be more mindful of your health once you return home. Make sure not to do any strenuous work or tire yourself out. The first few months of pregnancy are critical.”

Benjamin nodded and thanked the doctor for the reminder.

Arissa glanced at him, feeling touched.

He was never this polite when he had to stay in the hospital previously
