The More the Merrier

Chapter 1041 At Your Service

"Mommy is having a stomachache?"

Zachary was not entirely convinced, as it didn't make sense for Benjamin to summon Shaun over such a trivial matter.

"You're not telling me the truth! Didn't Mommy go horse riding with you? How could she have eaten anything bad that would have caused a stomach ache then? Even if that were true, Mr. Bailey wouldn't be needed because there would be doctors that could treat her there!"

Benjamin raised his brows just as Shaun entered the ward. "Boss, I've gotten a better understanding of Mrs. Graham's condition from the doctor and have taken a look at her test report-"

Benjamin quickly cut Shaun off. "Hush! You're disturbing her sleep!"

Shaun scratched the tip of his nose sheepishly when he noticed that Benjamin was on the phone.

"You need not fret yourself over your mommy. I'll ask her to call you once she wakes up. I trust you to take good care of Grandpa and Great-grandaunt over there," Benjamin reassured Zachary. With that, he hung up and went back into the ward.

Glancing at him, Shaun asked in a whisper, "Was it a call from one of the kids?"

"It was Zachary."

"How severe is her condition?" Benjamin pocketed his phone and asked, worried.

Shaun looked at Arissa and lowered his voice as he said, "It shouldn't be taken lightly, but neither is it too serious. It would be best for her to be on bed rest and not move around. She should also avoid getting too worked up."

Shaun explained Arissa's current condition while Benjamin took it all in attentively.

"I recommend that Mrs. Graham stay put in the hospital to be observed for several more days and to get an injection to stabilize her pregnancy. She can transfer to my place once her condition improves," Shaun proposed to Benjamin.

"Got it." Benjamin nodded.

Shaun handed him the pills and told him some other details.

"Boss, grind these pills and mix them with water before letting Mrs. Graham drink the solution."

"Okay." Benjamin noted it down.

Shaun stayed behind and waited for Arissa to wake up.

When Edwin brought dinner over for them, Benjamin woke Arissa up.

Arissa called out blearily, "Benjamin."

Blinking, she stared at the man standing at the side of the bed.

Benjamin bent over and caressed her head as he said soothingly, "Let's have dinner. You can go back to sleep after that."

"Sure." Arissa was still muzzy from sleep as Benjamin went to the restroom to grab a towel for her.

"Mrs. Graham, how are you feeling?" asked Shaun, checking Arissa's condition.

It was only then that she realized both Shaun and Edwin were present.

"Mr. Bailey, why are you here?"

Arissa struggled to sit up but Shaun stopped her from doing so. "Boss was worried and asked me to come over to check up on you." Benjamin returned from the restroom and strode over, pushing Shaun aside as he carefully helped Arissa up. "Take it easy."

He then placed a pillow behind Arissa to support her back.

"Okay, I'll be careful." Arissa nodded.

Not wanting to disturb the couple, Shaun turned away.

Subsequently, Benjamin wiped Arissa's face and wrapped her up in the blanket.

"I feel a little tired," Arissa responded to Shaun's earlier question and greeted Edwin.

"That's normal since you're on a drip." Shaun felt for the pulse on her wrist once more and queried meticulously. "Is your stomach still painful?”

"Not at all."

Arissa leaned against the headrest as she patiently answered the slew of questions from Shaun.

Edwin was not privy to what happened to Arissa. As such, he listened in on their conversation.

"Mrs. Graham, since you were bleeding, you should stay in bed as much as possible and avoid sudden drastic movements. Even getting up from the bed as you did just now is strongly discouraged. Be careful and take it slow. Try not to get too emotional, too."

Shaun gave Arissa some pointers, advising her to watch out.

Arissa nodded. "I'll take note of that."

"Also, don't get too nervous. Relaxing is key for a speedy recovery."

He added, "If you need anything, Boss will be at your service."

Amused, Arissa grinned when Shaun winked mischievously at her, signaling her to make good use of Benjamin.
