When Ethen realized it was getting late, he informed Benjamin of the fact.
“Mr. Graham, it's pretty late now. You should shower and get some rest. We'll take care of Mdm. Mary.”
Benjamin threw Ethen a glance and nodded.
When Ethen was on his way out, Shaun grabbed his hand. “I want to return to Dellmoor.”
Ethen was dumbfounded.
“Mr. Graham is just too much. Doesn't he know how great a doctor I am? How can he not trust my judgment? In that case, why did he even call me here?” Shaun fumed.
Tickled by Shaun's reaction, Ethen teased him, “Mr. Bailey, hasn't Mr. Graham been doubting your medical credentials all this while? So, why don't you calm down and figure out how to treat Mdm. Mary instead? By proving yourself to him, Mr. Graham won't ever doubt you again.”
“I've always been very successful, all right?”
Rolling his eyes at Ethen, Shaun headed toward Mary's room and took her blood pressure.
In the meantime, Benjamin stayed with his son for a while before dropping Arissa a message and taking a shower.
Once he came out of the bathroom, he checked in on Mary to see how she was.
When he saw Ethen watching over her in the room, he instructed, “You should get some rest. Let the nurse and bodyguards take over.”
“Understood, Mr. Graham.”
Ethen was touched by the fact that Benjamin had shown him concern.
After staying for a while longer, Benjamin returned to the room next door to sleep with his son.
Watching Tim in deep sleep, Benjamin frowned slightly before laying down beside him and putting his arm around his feeble-looking son to sleep.
He had not caught a single wink after more than thirty hours. Throughout that entire time, he was looking for his son while worrying about Arissa.
After the entire shebang, he could finally relax and drifted into sleep the moment his eyes closed.
The next day, Arissa woke up at four. When she saw the kitchenette in the suite, she instructed the suite's butler to bring her some ingredients. Subsequently, she began to busy herself.
When Gavin woke up and saw Arissa in the kitchen, he rushed to her side at once.
“Mommy!”
When she saw that he was awake, Arissa lips curled.
She asked softly, “Sweetheart, why are you up so early? You should go back to sleep.”
“Mommy, it's only five in the morning. What are you doing up so early?”
Gavin rubbed his eyes. What time did Mommy wake up?
“I was already awake. So, I decided to make something delicious!” Arissa replied with a smile.
After wiping her hands clean, she led him out. “You should go back to sleep.”
Gavin threw her a glance. “Mommy, I don't want to sleep anymore. Instead, I want to cook with you.”
Arissa narrowed her gaze at him. “Aren't you sleepy?”
He shook his head with a grin. “Not anymore. I want to learn how to cook from you!”
Arissa beamed. “Fine. In that case, you should go wash your face first.”
“Mmm-hmm!” Filled with delight, Gavin ran off to do as he was told.
Arissa smiled to herself before returning to the kitchen to cook oatmeal porridge. Halfway through the process, she proceeded to make buns.
Having brushed his teeth and washed his face at lightning speed, Gavin hurried back to help.
“Mommy, what should I do?”
Arissa gave him a look. “Help me shape the buns first.”
She put the dough she had prepared in front of him.
Sitting by the dining table, Gavin focused on his task. “Mommy, just like that?”
“That's right!”
Once the oatmeal porridge was done, Arissa joined her son in shaping the buns.
While both of them were busy in the kitchen, Zachary woke up to use the bathroom.
When he caught a glimpse of Arissa and Gavin cooking in the kitchen, he hurried up to them.
“Both of you are up early!”
Arissa grinned at him. “You too!”
Zachary nodded.
“Mommy woke up even earlier!”
Gavin asked Zachary, “Do you want to help us shape the buns?”
“Sure!” Zachary agreed before running off to wash his face.
With another pair of hands, their task was made a lot easier.
Subsequently, Arissa taught both of them how to shape the buns.
By the time it was six, breakfast was ready.
