“Mommy is having a stomachache?”
Zachary was not entirely convinced, as it didn't make sense for Benjamin to summon Shaun over such a trivial matter.
“You're not telling me the truth! Didn't Mommy go horse riding with you? How could she have eaten anything bad that would have caused a stomach ache then? Even if that were true, Mr. Bailey wouldn't be needed because there would be doctors that could treat her there!”
Benjamin raised his brows just as Shaun entered the ward. “Boss, I've gotten a better understanding of Mrs. Graham's condition from the doctor and have taken a look at her test report—”
Benjamin quickly cut Shaun off. “Hush! You're disturbing her sleep!”
Shaun scratched the tip of his nose sheepishly when he noticed that Benjamin was on the phone.
“You need not fret yourself over your mommy. I'll ask her to call you once she wakes up. I trust you to take good care of Grandpa and Great-grandaunt over there,” Benjamin reassured Zachary.
With that, he hung up and went back into the ward.
Glancing at him, Shaun asked in a whisper, “Was it a call from one of the kids?”
“It was Zachary.”
“How severe is her condition?” Benjamin pocketed his phone and asked, worried.
Shaun looked at Arissa and lowered his voice as he said, “It shouldn't be taken lightly, but neither is it too serious. It would be best for her to be on bed rest and not move around. She should also avoid getting too worked up.”
Shaun explained Arissa's current condition while Benjamin took it all in attentively.
“I recommend that Mrs. Graham stay put in the hospital to be observed for several more days and to get an injection to stabilize her pregnancy. She can transfer to my place once her condition improves,” Shaun proposed to Benjamin.
“Got it.” Benjamin nodded.
Shaun handed him the pills and told him some other details.
“Boss, grind these pills and mix them with water before letting Mrs. Graham drink the solution.”
“Okay.” Benjamin noted it down.
Shaun stayed behind and waited for Arissa to wake up.
When Edwin brought dinner over for them, Benjamin woke Arissa up.
Arissa called out blearily, “Benjamin.”
Blinking, she stared at the man standing at the side of the bed.
