The More the Merrier novel Chapter 445

The sight of Arissa lying on the bed worried the kids to no end.

“What happened?” Darius asked Shaun.

“What’s wrong with Mommy?”

The kids, who were already worried sick, panicked even further when they saw Gavin crying like that.

Plagued by guilt, Gavin sobbed as he said, “M-Mommy found out about our brother! It’s my fault! She overheard it because I didn’t hear her coming! She was crying so hard!”

The other kids’ eyes reddened upon hearing that.

Darius furrowed his brows, but he was so worried about Arissa’s condition that he didn’t have time to ask the kids what happened.

“Shaun, how is Issa?”

“She fainted from overwhelming sadness,” Shaun replied as he continued examining Arissa.

Darius knew her condition was rather serious when he saw how concerned Shaun looked. “Should we take her to a hospital?”

He figured a hospital would be much better equipped to treat her.

“Yes. Get the car ready.”

Shaun agreed to send her to the hospital when all attempts at waking her up had failed.

“Why isn’t Mommy awake yet?” Jesse asked while sobbing loudly in fear.

“Mommy’s just unconscious. She’ll wake up soon,” Zachary comforted his sister even though deep down, he was panicking like crazy too.

To their surprise, Arissa woke up right when Shaun was about to carry her into the car.

“Mommy’s awake!” Jasper exclaimed excitedly and wiped his tears.

“Mommy! You’re awake!” Oliver cried out in relief.

The kids were all excited and relieved to see that Arissa had regained consciousness.

“All right, you can put Issa down now that she’s awake,” Darius said as he stepped forward to hold Arissa steady.

“Are you okay, Mrs. Graham?” Shaun asked while helping her lie down on the bed.

“Yeah…”

Although Arissa was no longer overwhelmed by emotions like she was earlier, she was still trapped in a state of grief.
