Chapter 690 Arissa Was Not There

“Mdm. Mary’s asleep. Do you guys want to hang around at my office instead?” Shaun asked them. Arissa wanted to remain in the ward, and she requested Edwin to take the kids to the office since they would not be able to play freely there.

“Gavin, bring them to Mr. Bailey’s office. They haven’t been there before,” she said to Gavin too. “Okay, Mommy. I’ll be heading over with them now. If you get bored from staying here alone, you can come over too!” he replied.

The woman caressed her son’s head in response. Then, Gavin beckoned Tim, Zachary, and the others to head over to Shaun’s office to play.

The boy then began showing the kids around the hospital.

Tim, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse looked around curiously.

“Do you come here often, Gavin?” Zachary asked, puzzled.

Gavin nodded. “I came here for doctors’ appointments frequently when I was younger.”

In truth, the boy did not like hospitals.

However, that time around, he kept his aversion toward the place hidden because of Mary’s illness.

Both Edwin and Shaun knew that, and they were gratified to see how responsible Gavin was toward his younger siblings.

Gavin’s all grown up.

“It’d be best if you kids don’t come to the hospital often, but you’re always welcome to play with me in my office,” Shaun offered.

With a smile, he welcomed the six children into his personal space.
