After ensuring that Edwinâs eyes were not on them, Zachary winked discreetly at Shaun, hinting at him by gesturing with his mouth.
Evidently, the boy was hinting at him that Gavin was fine and requesting him to keep it under wraps from Darius and his mother.
After Shaun entered the room, Arissa called out to him anxiously, âDr. Bailey, please check on Gavin now. He mentioned that heâs overeaten and feels like vomiting. Can you help to see if he has caught a cold or if thereâs anything wrong with him?â
âCalm down, Arissa. Let me check on him first,â Shuan put his medical box down and pressed on Gavinâs abdomen lightly. At the same time, he glanced obliquely at the boyâs countenance.
Moments later, it struck him why Zachary and the others were eager to tell him something earlier.
âIt seems that Gavin has a bloated stomach after overeating. Iâll give him some digestive tablets. Donât worry. He should be fine after that,â Shaun stated matter-of-factly.
âSo his stomach really is bloated?â Arissa furrowed her brows. Undeniably, she recalled how Gavin had eaten quite a lot when they were having breakfast earlier. On top of that, he took some more of the food brought over by Darius again.
In actuality, Gavin did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort. He shot Shaun a glance with a hint of warning. Hence, the latter replied nonchalantly, âYeah.â
âThey usually donât eat much but tend to eat a lot more whenever theyâre together with you,â Edwin told Arissa tactfully. He did not doubt Shaunâs judgment at all.
âI shouldnât have brought so much food over just now. Itâs all my fault.â Darius could not help blaming himself.
Arissa looked at them before asking Shaun, âIs there anything else wrong with him aside from a bloated stomach?â
âDonât worry, Arissa. There isnât any other problem,â Shaun reassured her with a smile and let Gavin swallow the digestive tablets. He then pretended to massage Gavinâs belly to boost his digestion.
Surrounded by the others, Gavin felt relatively awkward. Thus, he told Arissa, âMommy, Iâm feeling a lot better now. Youâd better catch some sleep now. Mr. Bailey will take good care of me here.â
Stunned upon hearing the boyâs words, Shaun turned to look at Arissa and queried, âArissa, are you feeling unwell too?â
âNo. Iâm only feeling a bit sleepy because I didnât sleep last night,â Arissa explained with a chuckle.
âDonât you know that staying up the whole night is harmful to your health? How could you do that when youâre not feeling well yesterday? I canât believe Benjamin just let you be! Oh my! Iâll be the one to be blamed again if you fall sick later!â Shaun wailed, utterly speechless.
Arissa could not utter any words to refute him.
Just then, Edwin cut in, âMr. Bailey, Mr. Graham is not at home at the moment.â
Shaunâs jaw dropped at that. âHuh? Heâs not at home? Did he step out last night?â
Edwin nodded.
âWhere did he go?â he asked.
Edwin looked at him and replied, âHeâs on a business trip.â
Shaun frowned. On a business trip?
âArissa, go ahead and have a rest. Donât worry about Gavin. Iâll take good care of him!â He tried to talk her into having a rest.
Darius echoed, âHeâs right. Issa, take a good rest. Weâll look after the kids. So donât worry, okay?â
âMommy, you should go to bed now,â Gavin urged her.
âMommy, go and have a good sleep. Weâll take great care of Gavin!â Jasper pushed his mother slightly toward the door.
Feeling touched by their words of concern, Arissa chuckled. âOkay. Iâll go for a rest now. Gavin, remember to tell Mr. Bailey at once if youâre not feeling well again, okay?â
âOkay. Donât worry, Mommy. Iâm fine, and Iâll take medicine on time!â Gavin convinced her.
Arissa tucked her son in before she left the room to have a rest.
After she stepped out, the five kids fastened their gazes on Darius. Zachary got straight to the point. âGrandpa, you should go down to have a cup of tea. Donât worry. Mr. Bailey will be by Gavinâs side.â
Flashing them a smile, Darius uttered gently, âItâs all right. Iâll go down after Gavin sleeps.â
Hearing that, Zachary and Gavin exchanged glances.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 442 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You Moments later, Gavin pretended to drift off to sleep after taking medicine.
Shaunâs lips twitched at the boy putting up a show.
Zachary gestured to his siblings and whispered, âLook, Gavinâs asleep now. Grandpa, letâs go downstairs.â
âGrandpa, letâs go downstairs to play games. Let Gavin have a good rest, okay?â Jesse grabbed her grandfatherâs arm coquettishly.
Oliver and Jasper, too, grabbed his other arm. âGrandpa, Mr. Bailey will take care of Gavin. Letâs go down for tea.â
âAll right. Letâs go then.â Darius had no choice but to take their suggestions. He only went down with his other four grandchildren after requesting Shaun to take good care of Gavin.
