Chapter 985

A subtle smile formed on Shaun's lips when he saw them holding hands.

“All of you should go home early and rest. Arissa, even though everything's fine, you still need to get some rest,” he

exhorted.

In response, Arissa nodded and glanced at the children. They look much better.

“Mr. Bailey, could you give them a checkup too? They've gotten a fright just now,” she asked.

Noticing how energetic the six children were, Shaun smiled and assured her, “Don't worry. They look fine for now.

You can give me a call if anything happens. I'll be right over.”

The second the children realized their mother was worried about them, they nodded and reassured, “Mommy,

we're really fine. We were just a little shocked during the accident; we're all right now!”

Even Jesse nodded fervently.

At that, Arissa's furrowed brows loosened a little.

Aware that she was still worried, Shaun asked the children a few questions before saying to the couple, “They're

fine.”

With a nod, Benjamin said, “Then, we'll get going first.”

Arissa bid Shaun farewell, and the six children followed suit.

After leading Arissa and the children out of the hospital, Benjamin opened the car door to the passenger seat and

said to her, “Get into the car first. I'll carry them in.”

Afterward, he opened the backseat door and carried the children into the car.

However, Arissa still stood beside him when he was fastening their seatbelts.

“I think it's better if I sit with them in the backseat,” she voiced.

After all, the children had sat in the backseat on their own during the accident earlier and had gotten quite a fright.

Till then, she was still worried about their condition.

“Mommy, we'll be fine on our own. Go ahead and sit in the front,” said Gavin.

If Mommy were to sit at the back, it would be a little crowded, and she wouldn't be able to rest.

“Sit in the front, Mommy. We'll be fine,” Zachary, too, assured their mother.

Benjamin knew she was only worried about the children. Hence, he stroked her head and promised, “That incident

earlier won't happen again.”

Seeing how self-reproaching he looked, Arissa nodded. “Thank goodness you have a good capacity for emergency

response. Otherwise, we would've...”

Benjamin patted her head, saying, “Get in. Let's go home.”

“Okay!”

As Arissa turned around to enter the passenger seat, he covered the top of her head to prevent her from bumping

against the ceiling of the car.

He then helped her to fasten the seatbelt before she could even get to it.

“I'll do it. You just stay put, or you'll get dizzy easily.”

Arissa felt a warm sensation flood her heart. “How did you know I'd get dizzy?”

Benjamin stared fixedly at her before responding, “Because you paused for a moment just now.”

He could tell because of his own experience of accidentally bumping his head.

His reply astonished Arissa greatly. I was already very careful with my actions, yet he still noticed it.

After shutting the door, Benjamin got into the driver's seat and drove home.

That time around, they arrived home safely.

While studying Arissa, Benjamin asked, “Do you feel better now?”

“Yeah. Other than the slight pain at my wound, I feel much better already,” she replied with a nod.

“Don't get your wound wet when you take a bath later.”

“Okay.” As if reminded of something, she glanced at him and asked, “Do you still need to work later?”

Benjamin nodded. “Ethen will be coming over in a while. You can take the children upstairs to rest first. Don't wait

up for me.”

Arissa bobbed her head in response. Just as she got ready to bring the children into the house, he pulled her over

and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Her cheeks flushed instantly.

“Go in.” Benjamin stroked her head gently.

“Okay. Don't work until it's too late,” Arissa urged before taking the children upstairs to take a bath.

Only then did Benjamin pull out his phone and dial Ethen's number.

“What did you find out?”

Right then, Arissa turned around to glance at Benjamin, who was still in the yard. A pucker instantly formed

between her brows.

Today's car accident can't possibly be man-made, right?

“Mommy, we'll take a bath on our own. You should do the same too!”

Snapping back to reality, Arissa turned to the children and smiled. “It's okay. I'll keep you company. I'll take mine

when all of you are done.”

After all, the children had gotten a shock that day. She could not bear to leave them by themselves.

Hearing that, the six children did not reject her offer and headed off to take their baths.
