“Mommy, I'm okay,” Gavin repeated himself and shook his head.
Tim also shook his head and said, “I'm not hurt, Mommy.”
“Mommy, we're not hurt too. Don't worry about us,” Zachary said as he fixed his gaze on Arissa.
Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse nodded as well.
“Mommy, we're really okay. Have a look if you don't believe us!”
Oliver and Jasper lifted their shirts to let Arissa have a closer look.
Arissa pulled down their clothes and asked, “Did you guys get hit anywhere?”
She was still concerned, as the momentum from hitting the pedestrian lane was strong.
Hence, she was trying to make sure that they were truly all right.
The six of them shook their heads and said, “No.”
Upon confirming that they were indeed fine, Arissa heaved a sigh of relief.
“Mommy, we're really not hurt, but we were scared,” Gavin muttered.
The little boy frowned as he looked at the wound on Arissa's head.
Arissa hugged them and patted their backs. “Don't be scared. We're okay now!”
Benjamin approached them and patted Arissa on the shoulders.
“The kids are all right. Why don't you take a seat?”
She lifted her head to look at Benjamin and said in low voice, “I'm okay. Don't worry.”
Benjamin eyed her, and just when he wanted to head inside the examination room to find out more, Shaun showed up.
He had Arissa's report in his hand.
“How is she?” Benjamin asked apprehensively.
Shaun smiled and said, “Arissa's all right. There's no sign of a concussion as well.”
Benjamin was beyond relieved to hear that.
“I told you I was all right. You were the one who insisted that I come here!” Arissa teased.
Benjamin shot her a glance.
“Benjamin is just worried about you. It's good that you guys came here to check,” Shaun added with a grin.
He turned to say hi to the six children.
Meanwhile, Arissa trained her eyes on Benjamin and circled his arms around hers.
“Now that I'm okay, you can finally relax, right?”
