The More the Merrier novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Applying Ointment

After the director and the rest of the medical team helped Benjamin to settle down in the VIP ward and gave some instructions to Arissa, they left.

Arissa sighed when she saw Benjamin’s swollen face as he remained unconscious on the hospital bed.

She took the ointment prescribed by the doctor and applied it to his face.

Kingsley and Shaun came in at that moment.

“This guy’s will be disfigured,” Kingsley teased.

Arissa lifted her head to look at him. “Eh? That’s not true. He’ll look fine after the swelling goes down.”

Kingsley laughed. D*mn. I thought I can scare her. She’s quite smart!

How childish. Shaun shot a look at Kingsley before he turned to look at Arissa.

“So you’re Gavin’s mom,” Shaun said.

No wonder Benjamin treats her differently.

Arissa nodded and introduced herself. “I’m Arissa York.”

“I know. I’m Shaun Bailey,” he replied with a smile. He thought about the time when he almost got to meet Arissa in person.

Arissa nodded and continued to apply the ointment. “Um, when will the swelling go down?”

“The swelling should reduce after we give him a few shots, a few more bags of drips, and apply the ointment that you’re holding,” Shaun explained to her so that she wouldn’t be so worried anymore.

Arissa looked at Benjamin and considered taking off his clothes so that she could apply the ointment on his body. The red patches on his body were more serious than the ones he had on his face and neck.

Shaun suggested with a smile after sensing her hesitation. “If you want the swelling to go away sooner, it’s best to apply it everywhere. Besides, it’ll soothe his discomfort since it has some cooling effect as well.”

“Okay,” she replied.

He’s like this because of me. Applying the ointment on his body is nothing compared to that!

Once she made up her mind, she started unbuttoning Benjamin’s shirt.

The two men stood at the side as they watched her without offering their help. It was only when Shaun nudged Kingsley that the two of them left the ward to give Arissa some privacy.
