The More The Merrier

He had a puzzled look on his face, but he remained quiet.

Like father like son. Shaun thought the boy had lost his temper.

“Your daddy asked me to check your body because he was worried about the mole on your hand.He said it wasn't there before. That's why I need to take some of your blood,” Shaun explained quickly.

“A mole?” Jasper blinked and raised his arm to look for the mole. “Oh. This...” he trailed off as he frowned.

Suddenly, he realized that he might have given himself away, so he quickly changed his expression and looked at them with a pout.

“What's the big deal! It's just a mole, isn't it?” he exclaimed.

Benjamin remained silent.

Shaun couldn't help but let out a small laugh when he compared Jasper's calm expression to

Benjamin's. However, he stopped smiling when Benjamin glared at him.

“Gavin, it'll be over really quickly. Dr. Bailey will only take a little of your blood and check on you for a bit. Don't you want to give your daddy peace of mind?” Edwin said gently to Jasper. Jasper turned pale when he saw the little ball of blood on his tiny finger. He couldn't stand the sight of blood.

Benjamin furrowed at Jasper's reaction toward blood. What's the matter with him? He would endure the pain in the past, so why is he acting so timidly now?

“Hurry up and stop his bleeding already!” Benjamin shot Shaun a glare, making the latter hurry toward Jasper.

“Gavin, hang in there! Let me get a little bit blood... and you're done!” he remarked after squeezing Jasper's finger. After getting enough blood samples into the blood collection tube, Shaun quickly put a cotton swab against the wound. “Good job! You'll be fine soon!”

On the other hand, Jasper squeezed his eyes closed the entire time. Anyone would feel bad for him when one saw how mad and afraid he seemed.

Edwin quickly hugged him as he applied some pressure against the swab so that Shaun could pack his stuff more easily.
