You More Than Anything In The World

Before the car stopped in front of the hospital, Arissa spotted Regan waiting at the main doors.

Her eyes darkened at the sight of him.

“Mommy, it's Regan!” Zachary turned to remind her.

The other five kids turned to look and when they saw Regan in the doorway, they all frowned in unison.

“What's he still doing here?”

Zachary glared at Regan angrily. That's Mommy's enemy! How dare he still come back after getting told off by Daddy?

“Mommy, let's go in through a different entrance,” Zachary suggested, not wanting his mom to get caught up with Regan again.

Arissa patted him on the head gently. “No need. Mommy will go in from here, but the rest of you will go in from the back.”

She didn't want Regan to know about her kids.

She remembered extremely clearly how Regan had chased her out.

He had personally chased her out cold-bloodedly.

Zachary frowned in disagreement.

“Mommy, you should follow us. If not, that guy is going to ruin your mood!”

“Yeah! Mommy, he's right! You should go in with us,” Oliver began convincing her as well.

“Mommy, what about you go in from the back and we teach him a lesson here!” Jasper said.

Tim nodded and said, “Ms. York, we shouldn't see him! If not, you're going to get bullied again.”

“Mommy, don't go down here. He's going to get on your nerves again,” Jesse said.

Arissa comforted the kids quietly. “If I don't see him now, he's going to come back to pester us.”

“He can come back all he wants! We're leaving soon!” Zachary said with a huge roll of his eyes.

Arissa chuckled. “Just go in from the back, you guys. I'll go and meet him.”

Without waiting for the kids to say anything, she got off the car and closed the door rapidly behind her.

The six of them stared after her in worry. Instead of asking the driver to go to the other side of the hospital, they continued to watch her.

Benjamin's car arrived almost right after she stepped out and he narrowed his eyes at the sight of her walking out.

“Mr. Graham, Ms. York has gotten off the car,” Ethen reminded, having seen her walk out as well.

Benjamin stared at her, still angry about what had just happened.

Even though he continued to stay in the car, he was still watching Arissa's every step closely.

Ethen chuckled quietly when he peeked at the rearview mirror and saw Benjamin's hidden worry.

Before Benjamin could realize it, Ethen quickly looked away and got off the car.

It was good that he chose to get off when he did, because he knew that Benjamin would have gotten even angrier if he happened to see Arissa getting mistreated.

Regan instantly walked toward Arissa with a faux sincere smile on his face, looking for all the world like a loving father.

“Issa, why are you here again?”
