Chapter 1080 Zachary Skips Class

Seeing Arissa frown, Benjamin shot daggers at Shaun and said, “Be gentle!”

Shaun's hand trembled. He looked at Benjamin to find the latter glaring at him.

“Does it hurt?” Shaun asked Arissa carefully.

“It's bearable.” Arissa flashed him an awkward smile. The pain lasted only for a while. Turning to Benjamin, she

said, “Don't be mean to Mr. Bailey. It's only normal to feel a little pain.”

“Didn't you say it didn't hurt when the nurse inserted it for you? The reason you're feeling pain is that he doesn't

know how to do it,” said Benjamin while continuing to glare at Shaun.

That rendered Shaun and Arissa speechless.

“Don't listen to him. I'm fine,” Arissa said to Shaun.

“It's my fault for not doing a good job at it,” said Shaun with a smile. After fixing the needle for her, he adjusted the

speed of the drip.

Arissa gave him an embarrassed glance before glaring at Benjamin, who merely quirked his brow.

“All right, I've got other work to do. I won't bother you two anymore,” Shaun informed, then packed his things and

left.

“Look at you. Why were you so fierce to him? He didn't mean to walk in on us. I bet he won't dare to give me an

injection anymore,” she scolded.

Benjamin sat by the bed and placed a pillow under her hand. “If I didn't tell him that, he'll still do it carelessly the

next time. Did it hurt just now?”

Arissa pursed her lips and said nothing more. She did not want to argue with him on that topic anymore.

Benjamin held her hand and gently stroked the back of it.

His thoughtful gestures filled her heart with a warm sensation. “Do you want to lie down for a while?” she asked in a

gentler tone.

Benjamin's eyes gleamed. “I'm not tired.”

He continued sitting there and stroking her hand for some time before leaving to do his work.

Arissa glanced at her phone. Since Ethen had not returned Benjamin's call, she did not think it was appropriate for

her to call.

He must be too busy to return the call.

When she recalled her children had not been asking for her that day, she wanted to give them a call, only to

remember they had gone to school.

She gave Bradley a call to check if he was the one who sent them to school. However, no one picked up the phone.

She did not ask Benjamin either, for he seemed to be busy.

He's been keeping me company at the hospital the entire time. He probably doesn't know who sent them to school,

too.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a video call from Zachary.

Arissa quickly answered it. “Zachary!”

“Mommy! Are you feeling better?” Zachary stared at her unblinkingly.

“I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm supposed to be discharged today, but your daddy is worried and made me stay for a few

more days,” Arissa said.

“You should stay in the hospital for a few more days, Mommy.” Zachary looked at her with his bright eyes.

The sight of his face cheered Arissa up.

“Why are you alone? Where are your siblings?”

“They're in class!” Zachary giggled.

Puzzled, Arissa asked, “Aren't you in class, too?”

“I came to the restroom to give you a call because I was worried,” explained Zachary guiltily.

Smiling, Arissa said, “I'm fine. Go back to your class. Don't skip them!”

Zachary pouted and said, “I already know everything that's being taught. It's so boring. Anyway, we'll pay you a visit

after school.”

“Okay. Who sent you kids to school this morning?” Arissa asked while looking at him.

“Mr. Hinton. I think he went to the court after dropping us at school.”

Arissa was taken aback.

Bradley went to court? No wonder he didn't answer his phone. Did something happen to them? I haven't heard

from them the entire morning.

Seeing the frown on her forehead, Zachary asked, “Mommy, are you worried about the results?
