The More the Merrier novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372 You Are A Liar

Benjamin raised his brows as she sounded convincing.

“Arissa, I didn’t think you could lie so well. You were a great actress earlier!”

It startled Arissa.

She exploded with rage. “What do you mean by that? I did it so that the children wouldn’t have to worry!”

“They were still lies!”

Benjamin retorted, “You also told me many lies previously, so you are a liar!”

Stumped for words, Arissa leaned back on her pillow and refused to speak to him.

Benjamin scanned her from head to toe. After he adjusted her drip, he sat beside her bed.

Refusing to meet his eyes, Arissa looked elsewhere.

Benjamin still had more to say. However, he decided not to continue since she still looked pale.

Later, he got up to refill her water.

He walked back and insisted, “Drink up!” In response, she scowled at him.

Although she reached out her hands to take the cup from him, he pushed them away. Then, he fed her the water.

After she took a sip, she choked on the water.

Ahem… ahem…!

“Why are you like a child?”

Benjamin frowned and patted her back.

Arissa coughed a few times before she finally caught her breath.

Glaring at the man in front of her, she stated with annoyance, “I wanted to drink the water by myself. Yet, you insisted on feeding it to me. How could you blame me for choking after that? How is it my fault?”

Unsure of how else to respond, Benjamin pushed the cup into her hands. “There! You can drink it yourself.”

Arissa took over the cup and drank the water. She felt more comfortable afterward.

When she finished it, Benjamin collected the empty glass from her. “Do you want anymore?”

“Nope,” Arissa heatedly responded.

Scowling at Benjamin, she thanked him in a rude tone. “Thank you!”

Benjamin glanced past her and set the glass down.

Seeing how the IV drip was almost empty, he pressed a button for the medical staff. Within seconds, the doctor and nurse came.

“The IV drip bag is empty now,” Benjamin told them.

Following the procedure, the nurse came forward to take out the needle attached to Arissa. However, Arissa yelped as soon as she touched it.

Instantly, Benjamin grew protective of Arissa and scolded the nurse, “Be gentle!”

The medical staff was taken aback by Benjamin’s outburst.
