The More the Merrier novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465 Not Painful

“Hey!” Pissed at his ignorance, Arissa glowered at Benjamin.

“Keep it down!”

Benjamin tilted his head slightly and speared her with a sharp gaze.

The corner of Arissa’s lips twitched again. “Benjamin, you’re restricting my freedom right now.”

Yet, Benjamin continued to play deaf and focused on his work.

Running out of options, Arissa plopped onto the bed, fuming.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across her mind. Weirdly, the kids haven’t called me.

Checking her call history, she noticed a missed call from Gavin earlier when she got in trouble in the morning.

She returned the call but Gavin’s phone was turned off.

Huh?

Arissa dialed Zachary’s number next but got the same result.

Why are their phones turned off?

She immediately tried calling Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse, but their phones were turned off as well.

Arissa frowned with concern.

Just as she was about to ask Benjamin, the doctor returned, and she swallowed her burning question.

“There’s no need for me to take this shot, right, doctor?” Arrisa tried to discuss her options again with the doctor.

“Ms. York, you must take it for your health,” the doctor advised, then peered at Benjamin. “Otherwise, Mr. Graham will be worried.”

Couldn’t come up with any other excuse, Arissa conceded and lay down for a shot.

Benjamin’s gaze swung to her briefly before returning to his work at hand.

“Ouch!” Arissa yelped when the needle pierced through her skin.

Benjamin frowned and glared at the doctor.

“Couldn’t you be gentler?”

Feeling more pressure, the doctor apologized instantly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Graham. I’ll be more careful.”

Arissa cast a side-eye at Benjamin. “Why did you scold the doctor? I didn’t even say it hurts, so why are you freaking out?”

He was sitting so still like a statue just a minute ago, and next, he opened his mouth to scold someone. Jerk!

“Didn’t you yelped earlier? If it didn’t hurt, then why did you do that?”
