Chapter 1039 Naturally Happy About Our Child
Even after Arissa had been arranged to rest in a VIP ward, she was still in a state of befuddlement.
She touched her stomach. A mixture of shock, surprise, and fear brewed within her.
I'm pregnant again! I can still have kids. But the doctor said I'm showing signs of a miscarriage.
Thus, she was a touch anxious.
This is all on me for being so careless. If I'd realized it earlier, I wouldn't have gone horse-riding.
Glimpsing her stunned and worried expression, Benjamin bent down and caressed her stomach. “Does it still hurt?”
He had committed everything the doctor said earlier to memory. In all honestly, he felt slightly guilty while also
pleasantly surprised.
It's my fault for suddenly taking her horse riding. If we lose this child, I'll never be able to forgive myself.
When Arissa snapped out of her thoughts and met the man's anxious gaze, she shook her head at him.
“No, it doesn't hurt anymore.” Right then, she was on an IV drip.
Benjamin scrutinized her. After he had ascertained that she was no longer as pale, a trace of relief slithered
through him. He tucked the blankets around her.

Arissa nodded before she lowered her head and drank it.
Lifting her head, she directed her gaze to the man, only to see that he was still frowning.
“Sit down. I'm much better now.”
After putting the glass away, Benjamin pulled a chair over and sat down. He took her hand and kneaded it gently.
“If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me, okay?”
“Okay.” A sense of security enveloped Arissa.
“If I'd known, I wouldn't have taken you horse riding.”
Benjamin sounded very much apologetic, his voice colored with distress.
Arissa merely chuckled. “I was careless. I didn't even notice that my period had been late for a week.”
“That's not your fault.”
Stroking the hair on her forehead in anguish, Benjamin continued urging gently, “You've got to be good and stay in
bed. Just tell me if you need to go anywhere.”
Seeing how keyed-up he was, Arissa inclined her head in acquiescence.
I don't dare move around either when the doctor has already advised me to lie down as much as possible.
Subsequently, Benjamin patted her on the head. “Get some sleep. I'll have Edwin bring some food over.”
Arissa nodded, following the man with her eyes.
Benjamin went to the balcony and gave Edwin a call, ordering the latter to prepare some nutritious food and bring
it over.
As Arissa stared at the man's stalwart figure, her mind wandered. He really does like kids, right?
When Benjamin turned around and came back in after making the call, he caught her spacing out.
Sitting down, he leaned close to her. “What are you thinking?”
Arissa blinked, jolting out of her thoughts. Fixing her gaze on his handsome face, she asked softly, “Are you happy
about this child?”
She stroked her barely-visible belly, regarding the man nervously.
Benjamin was taken aback for a moment before he gave a muted sigh.
“What are you thinking about? This is our child, so I'm naturally happy about it!”
At his answer, Arissa breathed a sigh of relief.
“Rest first. Edwin won't be here too soon. I'll wake you up when he comes with food. Or do you want to eat
something now? If so, I'll go and buy some for you.”

“No, it's okay. I can wait.”
Arissa had eaten some food at the horse ranch, so she wasn't all that hungry yet.
Benjamin tucked her in. “In that case, sleep.”
Arissa nodded. One was more prone to drowsiness while on an IV drip, so she fell asleep in no time.
Benjamin stayed by the hospital bed for some time. Upon making sure that she was slumbering deeply, he tucked
the covers around her before standing up and going outside.
He went to the doctor's office and inquired about Arissa's condition in detail.
“Doctor, can she be discharged after the IV infusion?”
It went without saying that he wanted to transfer her to his own hospital.
Both Darius and Mary were there, so it would be easier to take care of them together. That aside, he would also be
more at ease if she were staying in his hospital.
“My suggestion is for her to remain hospitalized for a day or two for observation. Then, she can go home and
recuperate when her pregnancy has stabilized. Right now, it isn't advisable for her to be moved.”
After listening to the doctor's reply, Benjamin had no choice but to nix his plan to transfer Arissa back to his
hospital. Her health takes precedence. Let's wait until her condition has improved before transferring her back.
