Chapter 615 Catching A Cold
A glint of playfulness flashed across Gavin’s eyes.
Benjamin believed him and frowned with concern.
“She has a cold?”
He met their gazes.
Gavin and Zachary nodded with somber looks.
Getting their confirmation, Benjamin turned on his heels and strode toward Mary’s room. He caught Arissa
coughing just as he opened the door.
He crossed the room and got to her immediately and placed his palm on her forehead to feel her body
temperature.
Arissa was stunned as she glanced at Benjamin with curiosity. She blinked her eyes when she noted the frown on his
forehead.
“What are you doing?”
“Did you catch a cold?”
Benjamin looked at her with concern.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtArissa’s heartstring was pulled.
Can he stop making me feel moved?
“No.” She shook her head with a smile.
However, the creases on Benjamin’s forehead didn’t smoothen.
“Then, why were you coughing?”
Arissa couldn’t come up with a retort. Everyone coughs once in a while.
“I choked on my saliva just now.”
With creases marring his forehead, he observed her expression and decided. “I think we should get Shaun to check
on you.”
The corners of Mary’s lips were tugged into a smile when she saw his concern for Arissa.
“We should have Dr. Bailey check on her. She even sneezed a couple of times earlier.”
Hearing Mary’s words, Benjamin glared at Arissa for trying to play it down.
“Don’t fall sick and spread it to Grandaunt later. That’ll be troublesome.”
Arissa was speechless at his reasoning.
“Come with me.”
Benjamin cast her a glance.
“Issa, go on. Have Dr. Bailey take a look at you.”
Mary gestured Arissa to go with Benjamin.
Arissa couldn’t refute any one of them. I can’t get sick and put Grandaunt at risk. With that thought, she trailed
after Benjamin.
Tim was already racing back with medication in his hands.
“Ms. York, take this medicine. It’s to prevent a cold.”
Arissa was moved when she saw Tim carrying a bagful of medication. With a sniffle, she bent down and pulled Tim
into an embrace.
“Sweetheart, did you go out to buy medicine for me?”
Oh, he cares about me. How sweet!
“I got these medicine from Mr. Bailey at the hospital, Ms. York. I didn’t buy them, so can you take them?”
Tim urged her with a frown.
“Okay.”
Arissa reached for the strips and packets of pills and turned to Benjamin. “Since Dr. Bailey prescribed all these
medicines I guess I don’t need to see him anymore.”
“Take your medication first.”
Benjamin left after saying that.
Arissa looked at him, then she turned around and led the kids back to Mary’s room.
Tim, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse all diligently went to get her a glass of water and had her sit down to take her
medication.
Gratification filled Arissa’s chest.
“Here you go, Mommy. Take your medication.”
Oliver felt the temperature on the surface of the glass and passed it over to Arissa once it had cooled.
Tim poured another glass of warm water on the side for her to rinse her mouth after she took her medicine.
“Okay.”
Arissa looked at her kids. “Where’s Gavin and Zachary?”
The kids exchanged a questioning glance with each other. None of them knew where they were.
“We don’t know where they went,” Jasper replied honestly.
Arissa’s stomach tightened with concern at their reply. She sent Jasper to the entrance and asked the security
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmguards there.
“Mommy, take your pills, and I’ll go ask around.
The minute Jasper ran out of the room, he saw his two brothers returning.
He instantly turned around and dashed back into the room to inform Arissa. “Mommy, they’re back.”
Arissa was relieved and took her medication.
Tim noticed the frown on her face and quickly handed the glass of water in his hand. “It won’t be so bitter after you
drink some water, Ms. York.”
“Okay.”
Arissa reached for the glass of water in his hand and patted his head before she gulped down the whole glass of
water.
Even the water he poured for me tastes sweet.
“Mommy, have some grapes.”
Jesse had plucked a handful of grapes from the fruit basket and held one near Arissa’s mouth.
Arissa opened her mouth at Jesse’s demand. “It’s so sweet!”
Jesse’s smile grew wider.
Gavin and Zachary came in then.
Seeing she was taking medicine, they asked, “Mommy, does the medicine taste good?”
Arissa didn’t know how to reply to their question but managed. “It wasn’t very bitter.”
Zachary giggled and glanced at Tim. “Tim was the one who asked Mr. Bailey to prescribe the medicines. Of course,
they’re not bitter.”
Tim was surprised. “You knew?”
Zachary and Gavin nodded their heads.
“We all knew.”
Tim’s face blushed after having been exposed.
