Shaun smiled because his suspicion had just been confirmed.

“If it hurts a lot, | can disinfect your wound again.”

“That's not necessary. It doesn't hurt that much,” Arissa

replied.

His remark brought a faint blush to her cheeks.

He seems to have found out about something. This is all that

jerk's fault!

Edwin glanced at her and perceived the hint of embarrassment

in her expression. Suddenly, the truth dawned upon him, and

his eyes widened in surprise.

“Mrs. Graham, don't be shy. It's better to let Mr. Bailey have a

look if it hurts,” he advised.

Then, he urged Shaun, “Mr. Bailey, please give Mrs. Graham a

more effective ointment!”

The latter nodded. “I'll go and get one. It'll fasten the healing

process once she applies some to her wound from time to

time!”

“Thanks!” Arissa was eager to end that topic.

Right then, her phone rang. The caller was Benjamin.

She picked up the phone and put it to her ear.

“Have you arrived at the hospital?” The man's voice traveled

from the speakers and into her ear.

“Yes,” Arissa answered in a low voice.

“Why is it so quiet there?” Benjamin sounded puzzled.

Arissa looked over and saw that the kids and Edwin were

trying to listen to her conversation with Benjamin. It amused

her.

“It's quiet because the kids aren't talking,”

she replied.

“Are they with you?”

“Yes!”

“Does the wound on your lips still hurt? If it does, get Shaun to

prescribe you another ointment.”

Arissa was embarrassed when Benjamin mentioned her

wound again.

“I got it. Get back to work. I'll hang up if there's nothing else!

Edwin and the kids are all here.”

“All right!” Benjamin answered.

He actually had nothing to talk to her about. All he wanted was

to hear her voice.

Shaun then came back with the ointment and passed it to

Arissa.

“Mommy, apply it to your wound! Let's see if it helps!” Gavin

urged. “Let me help you!”

After saying that, he wanted to take the ointment from her.

“It's okay. | can do it myself!”

Avrissa uncapped the tube of ointment and applied some to her

wound by using her phone as a mirror.

At that sight, Shaun chuckled and went into the ward to fetch

her a cotton bud.

“Arissa, use this. It works better.”

“Okay!” Arissa took it and spread the ointment over her wound

with the cotton bud.

She did it lighter than Benjamin, so she did not feel any pain.

Instead, the only sensation she experienced was the coolness

brought about by the ointment.

“This is much better than the one Benjamin

has!” she commented.

Shaun chuckled. “The one he has was from me as well.

Perhaps it has expired!”

“l guess.”

Realizing that everyone was looking at her, Arissa endured the

‘embarrassment, turned around, and threw the cotton bud

away.

“Get some rest, Ms. York!" Tim tugged at the hem of her shirt.

Delighted, Arissa stroked his head and replied, “Sweetheart,

I'm fine. The only difficulty | have is when | have to eat.”

The boy frowned and exhorted seriously, “You should eat

slower, then, Ms. York!”

His concern for her made her feel happy, and she nodded.

“Okay. | will!”

She then hugged him dotingly before asking Shaun about

Mary's condition.

“Arissa, Mdm. Mary's condition is under control. Since she has

just arrived here, we'll let her get used to her surroundings

before starting the treatment course for her. Don't worry,”

Shaun explained.

He was worried that Mary had yet to adapt to the environment.

Avrissa nodded. “Thank you very much!”

“It's my job. Benjamin will withdraw my research fund if | don't

take care of Mdm. Mary well enough! Hence, don't worry.

Mdm. Mary will receive the best treatment here. Also, you don't

have to stay here and look after her all day long. We can

manage,” he reassured.

Arissa was well aware of the quality of service the hospital

offered.

Besides, Benjamin was the owner. As long as he gave the

instructions, no one would dare to neglect Mary.

Furthermore, Shaun was in charge of Mary's treatment, so she

indeed had nothing to worry about.

“I'm free now, so I'll keep Grandaunt company,” Arissa said.

Shaun flashed her a smile. “I'll head inside to see if her IV drip

has finished!”

Arissa, Edwin, and all the kids followed him in.

Shaun then waited for the IV drip to finish before replacing it

with a new one.
