The More the Merrier novel Chapter 443

After ensuring that Edwin’s 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, “Dr. Bailey, please check on Gavin now. He mentioned that he’s overeaten and feels like vomiting. Can you help to see if he has caught a cold or if there’s anything wrong with him?”

“Calm down, Arissa. Let me check on him first,” Shuan put his medical box down and pressed on Gavin’s abdomen lightly. At the same time, he glanced obliquely at the boy’s countenance.

Moments later, it struck him why Zachary and the others were eager to tell him something earlier.

“It seems that Gavin has a bloated stomach after overeating. I’ll give him some digestive tablets. Don’t worry. He should be fine after that,” Shaun stated matter-of-factly.

“So his stomach really is bloated?” 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, “Yeah.”

“They usually don’t eat much but tend to eat a lot more whenever they’re together with you,” Edwin told Arissa tactfully. He did not doubt Shaun’s judgment at all.

“I shouldn’t have brought so much food over just now. It’s all my fault.” Darius could not help blaming himself.

Arissa looked at them before asking Shaun, “Is there anything else wrong with him aside from a bloated stomach?”

“Don’t worry, Arissa. There isn’t any other problem,” Shaun reassured her with a smile and let Gavin swallow the digestive tablets. He then pretended to massage Gavin’s belly to boost his digestion.

Surrounded by the others, Gavin felt relatively awkward. Thus, he told Arissa, “Mommy, I’m feeling a lot better now. You’d better catch some sleep now. Mr. Bailey will take good care of me here.”

Stunned upon hearing the boy’s words, Shaun turned to look at Arissa and queried, “Arissa, are you feeling unwell too?”

“No. I’m only feeling a bit sleepy because I didn’t sleep last night,” Arissa explained with a chuckle.

“Don’t you know that staying up the whole night is harmful to your health? How could you do that when you’re not feeling well yesterday? I can’t believe Benjamin just let you be! Oh my! I’ll be the one to be blamed again if you fall sick later!” Shaun wailed, utterly speechless.

Arissa could not utter any words to refute him.

Just then, Edwin cut in, “Mr. Bailey, Mr. Graham is not at home at the moment.”

Shaun’s jaw dropped at that. “Huh? He’s not at home? Did he step out last night?”
