The More the Merrier novel Chapter 804

Chapter 804 Benjamin Really Brought The Doctor In

Arissa’s face ran red to the ears as the mention of a doctor by Benjamin reminded her of Shaun. “No. I don’t need to see a doctor!” she promptly declined.

“I need you to work with me here because I can’t get away right now,” said Benjamin in his deep voice. He had left the house for an early meeting and had yet to wrap things up on that front.

He even had to get Edwin to help drop the children off at school.

“I’ve already taken a bath and am feeling much better already. Seriously, you don’t have to send the doctor.”

Arissa was quite self-conscious about the idea of being examined by a doctor, even if she was another woman.

Much less could be said of a male doctor who she knew personally, as she found that to be an extremely unsettling proposition.

She presumed that it was Shaun who would be sent to her, thus she felt the need to reiterate her stance.

“Soak for a little longer, and add a few drops of essential oil,” Benjamin recommended.

“Okay!”

Looking around, Arissa then added a couple of drops of essential oil from a bottle she managed to find.

“Stay in there for half an hour, get some food in you when you come out, and go to sleep,” Benjamin added.

“Got it,” she answered in the affirmative. “You should get back to it!”

“Yeah,” Benjamin replied before he hung up.

Pausing for a quick check, Arissa stood up from the bath water when the time was almost up. Her condition was much improved compared to when she had just awoken.

She slipped into her bathrobe, brushed her teeth, and washed her face before she stepped out of the bathroom.

Heading to the door, she opened it to retrieve the food Edwin had left outside.

Noticing how messy the sheets were, she then hastened to gather them up and had them replaced with a fresh set.

Once she had the room tidied up, she opened the windows to let the sun into the room. That helped make things cozier for her.

Then, she plopped herself down on the couch. Judging from the food Edwin prepared for her, it occurred to her that it was aimed at being nutritious over everything else.

Twitching her lips, she then proceeded to tuck into the pumpkin soup.

She had just about finished it when Edwin came upstairs with the doctor in tow.

“Mrs. Graham!”

Arissa went quickly to the door when Edwin knocked and was momentarily stunned when she noticed the woman beside him.

“Who is this, Edwin?”
