Chapter 616 Moving Her Child Away
Tim asked, “Did you go to Mr. Bailey?”
Zachary nodded. “Yes. But we followed you there!”
Arissa knew what they were up to. She reminded them, “You shouldn’t have run around in the hospital!”
Will Regan come back? It will be bad if they run into him. It’s best for them not to see each other.
“Mommy, we just want to see Mr. Bailey!” Gavin responded.
Arissa nodded in acknowledgment.
Right then, Benjamin came in with Shaun.
“Show it to him,” Benjamin instructed her.
Arissa could barely hide her surprise. Did he head out to summon Shaun?
Shaun shot her an amused look. “Arissa, do you have a headache?”
Arissa shook her head as a flush crept up her cheeks. “I sneezed a few times, and that was about it. I don’t feel particularly unwell.”
Despite that, Shaun proceeded to take her temperature.
The electric thermometer showed that she wasn’t having a fever.
Shaun showed it to Benjamin. “She’s fine.”
Benjamin could finally relax.
Grinning, Shaun left some instructions. “Arissa, you should be careful. You don’t want to catch a cold, do you?”
“Okay.” Arissa nodded obediently. “I’ve just taken the medicine a while ago.”
Shaun shot her an approving nod. “Prevention is better than cure. It was Tim who got the prescription from me.”
Arissa turned to look at Tim, who blinked twice before averting his gaze shyly. She felt a surge of happiness.
“It’s getting late. Let’s pack up and leave,” Benjamin said.
Arissa glanced at the time and bobbed her head.
“You can leave. I’ll stay at the hospital to take care of Mdm. Mary,” Shaun said.
They should get back to the hotel to get some rest.
“Thanks, Mr. Bailey!” Arissa thanked him gratefully.
For the past few days, Shaun had worked really hard. He spent all his time in the hospital and didn’t really get to rest.
“It’s fine. I can take a nap in the doctors’ mess later,” Shaun assured her.
The temperature was dropping, so it would be best for Gavin and the rest to return to the hotel.
Arissa bid goodbye to Mary before leading the kids and Benjamin back to the hotel to get some rest.
Kingsley and Ethen left with them, too.
Back at the hotel, everyone washed up and went to bed.
Arissa made sure the kids were asleep before she went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When she emerged from the bathroom, Benjamin was sitting on the couch. At once, she halted in her tracks.
“You should take a shower and go to bed soon,” she said.
Benjamin whipped his head around and saw Arissa clad in a nightdress that exposed her attractive legs. His gaze promptly turned dark with desire.
Arissa had just stepped out of the shower, so she looked soft and inviting.
Her cheeks were pink and fluffy. It was an enticing sight.
“You should sleep in the adjoining room.”
Hearing that, Arissa was confused.
The kids had fallen asleep in this room, and she wouldn’t sleep separately with them in a new place.
Otherwise, they might wake up at night and cry if she wasn’t with them.
“I’ll sleep right here,” she said.
Having said that, she walked over to the kids and lay down beside them.
Ignoring the man’s presence, she tucked the kids in and prepared to sleep.
“Switch off the lights before you leave later,” she told Benjamin.
With that said, she shut her eyes and fell asleep.
As she didn’t get to rest all day, her energy was spent.
Benjamin’s brows snapped together when he heard her breathing turning stable. In the end, he switched off the lights and left the room.
Soon, he returned to the room after taking his shower.
The room was pitch black.
Benjamin could see clearly in the dark, so he strode over to the bed without any difficulty.
Standing beside the bed, he glanced at the spot beside Arissa.
He then looked at the kids.
Bending down, he moved Jesse, who was sleeping beside Arissa, to the other end of the bed. He then shifted Arissa carefully before joining her in bed.
It was midnight when a loud thump reverberated around the room.
Thump! It sounded like something had landed on the ground.
At once, Benjamin jolted awake.
