Chapter 689 His Concern For Her Shaun smiled because his suspicion had just been confirmed. âIf it hurts a lot, I can disinfect your wound again.â âThatâs not necessary. It doesnât hurt that much,â Arissa replied.
His remark brought a faint blush to her cheeks. He seems to have found out about something. This is all that jerkâs 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.
âMrs. Graham, donât be shy. Itâs better to let Mr. Bailey have a look if it hurts,â he advised.
Then, he urged Shaun, âMr. Bailey, please give Mrs. Graham a more effective ointment!â
The latter nodded. âIâll go and get one. Itâll fasten the healing process once she applies some to her wound from time to time!â
âThanks!â 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.
âHave you arrived at the hospital?â The manâs voice traveled from the speakers and into her ear.
âYes,â Arissa answered in a low voice.
âWhy is it so quiet there?â 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.
âItâs quiet because the kids arenât talking,â she replied.
âAre they with you?â
âYes!â
âDoes the wound on your lips still hurt? If it does, get Shaun to prescribe you another ointment.â
Arissa was embarrassed when Benjamin mentioned her wound again.
âI got it. Get back to work. Iâll hang up if thereâs nothing else! Edwin and the kids are all here.â
âAll right!â 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.
âMommy, apply it to your wound! Letâs see if it helps!â Gavin urged. âLet me help you!â
After saying that, he wanted to take the ointment from her.
âItâs okay. I can do it myself!â
Arissa 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.
âArissa, use this. It works better.â
âOkay!â 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.
âThis is much better than the one Benjamin has!â she commented.
Shaun chuckled. âThe one he has was from me as well. Perhaps it has expired!â
âI guess.â
Realizing that everyone was looking at her, Arissa endured the embarrassment, turned around, and threw the cotton bud away.
âGet some rest, Ms. York!â Tim tugged at the hem of her shirt.
Delighted, Arissa stroked his head and replied, âSweetheart, Iâm fine. The only difficulty I have is when I have to eat.â
The boy frowned and exhorted seriously, âYou should eat slower, then, Ms. York!â
His concern for her made her feel happy, and she nodded. âOkay. I will!â

âArissa, Mdm. Maryâs condition is under control. Since she has just arrived here, weâll let her get used to her surroundings before starting the treatment course for her. Donât worry,â Shaun explained.
He was worried that Mary had yet to adapt to the environment.
Arissa nodded. âThank you very much!â
âItâs my job. Benjamin will withdraw my research fund if I donât take care of Mdm. Mary well enough! Hence, donât worry. Mdm. Mary will receive the best treatment here. Also, you donât have to stay here and look after her all day long. We can manage,â 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 Maryâs treatment, so she indeed had nothing to worry about.
âIâm free now, so Iâll keep Grandaunt company,â Arissa said.
Shaun flashed her a smile. âIâll head inside to see if her IV drip has finished!â
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.
