Benny is injured? He immediately got out of bed and took a few steps forward.
Gwendolyn immediately asked anxiously, “Where are you guys? Are you still at the basketball court?”
Nico sent his location to Gwendolyn, and the two of them immediately set off.
On the road, Gwendolyn looked quite flustered. She tightly gripped Cedrick’s arm, expressing concern. “If I had known Benny would get hurt, I should have gone with him…..
The incident happened just within the few minutes she was having breakfast with Cedrick, which she had brought over for him.
Cedrick knew his wife was worried about their child, so he quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, Gwenny. Although Benny is physically weak, he is still a boy after all. Besides, Nico and Joshua are both there, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
Gwendolyn kept mum, and the image of Benedict’s potentially pale face surfaced in her mind, filling her with unbearable self-reproach.
She couldn’t see her child, and her mind was already filled with all sorts of outcomes. She was truly worried.
Upon arriving at the basketball court, Gwendolyn hurriedly opened the door and ran down, searching for the figures of the two little ones on the court.
The sky had just been washed by rain, leaving the ground somewhat slippery. Cedrick was worried that his wife might fall, so he quickly ran after her and took hold of her.
“We’re all here now. If you fall, we’ll have to take care of another one. Nico will definitely take Benny to treat the wound. Let’s go check out Joshua’s medical room.”
Gwendolyn nodded in agreement, saying. “Yes. They will be in the medical room.”
She murmured the words of Cedrick over and over, her mind already in a state of chaos.
She just wanted to see her precious son as soon as possible, to check on the extent of his injuries.
Upon arriving at the medical office, she saw Zendaya puffing her cheeks, blowing air on Benedict’s wound, all while saying, “If I blow on the wound, it won’t hurt anymore. Mommy said so. Blowing on it is the power of love. Let me blow on it!”
The little one’s face was filled with utmost seriousness, making her reddened eyes exceptionally adorable.
Benedict remained silent, lifting his eyes to see the two people who had rushed over. “Mommy! Daddy!”
A bandage was wrapped around Benedict’s lower leg, which left Gwendolyn feeling somewhat uneasy.
As soon as Zendaya saw her mother coming, she immediately bounced off the bed and reached out for a hug, “Mommy, hug me.”
Holding his precious daughter in her arms, Gwendolyn looked at Joshua with a hint of worry and asked, “How is Benny? Are his injuries serious?”
Joshua said, “There’s nothing to worry about, Gwendolyn. It’s just a minor scrape. Children recover quickly, so the bandage can be removed tomorrow morning. Just remember not to get it wet during this time, and avoid eating anything spicy.”
“All right. Thank you very much.”
Cedrick picked up Benedict, and the family of four walked out of the medical office.
Like a child who had done something wrong. Nico followed behind them. Joshua shook his head and walked out.
Gwendolyn looked at Zendaya with a serious expression. “Zendy, can you tell me how your brother got hurt?”
She had clearly told Nico to take the children to the dedicated badminton court. It was indoors, and the floor was cushioned, so they generally wouldn’t get scraped or bruised.
It was raining outside, and with no one around to supervise, Gwendolyn thought the mischievous Zendaya would surely coax Benedict into playing outside with her.
The ground was wet, making it easy to slip and fall. So, it was possible that Benedict’s injury might have something to do with her mischievous antics.
Sure enough, after Gwendolyn asked that question, the little girl stuck out her tongue and said, “Benny got hurt because he was protecting me.”
