“I think she has been asleep for less than half an hour!” Zachary checked his watch and glanced at Gavin and the rest.

“You're right! It's been less than half an hour!” Gavin nodded.

Arissa sat with them for a while outside the ward.

“Sweethearts, do you guys know where Mr. Bailey is?”

“I think Mr. Bailey is over there!” Jesse pointed in a direction.

Oliver glanced at her and asked, “Mommy, are you looking for Mr. Bailey? I can call him!”

“I'm looking for him, but you don't have to call him because he might be busy. I'm sure he'll come over in a while,” Arissa replied and stayed with the kids.

“Mrs. Graham, I can go look for Mr. Bailey!” Edwin suggested.

“Do you know where he is?” Arissa looked at him.

Edwin nodded. “This is Mr. Graham's hospital, so I know where Mr. Bailey is.”

How did I forget about that? Arissa smiled.

“Go on, then. If he's busy now, I'll go and look for him later,” she voiced.

The butler nodded before leaving to find Shaun.

At that moment, Gavin looked up at her and asked in concern, “Mommy, have you eaten?”

Arissa nodded. “I have! In fact, I had a lot of food!”

Jesse giggled and uttered, “Mommy, we ate a lot with Great-grandaunt at the hospital as well.”

“How about you guys? Have you guys eaten?”

Arissa glanced at the five older kids.

“Mommy, I've eaten!” Gavin answered.

“Mommy, I've eaten as well!” Zachary replied.

“Ms. York, me too,” Tim chimed in shyly.

Oliver adjusted his glasses again and smiled. “Mommy, we were still eating before you arrived!”

“Mommy! Mommy! Did you get scared when you woke up and couldn't find us this morning?” Jasper asked.

Arissa pinched his cheek. “I did! I only realized I had overslept when I woke up. When I came out, you guys were all gone.”

The six children grinned from ear to ear.

“Mommy, did you sleep well last night?” Gavin asked, staring at her with sparkly eyes.

“I did!” Arissa stroked his hair and asked the kids, “Did you guys sleep well?”

The kids nodded. “We did!”

Arissa then looked at Tim and asked, “Tim, did you sleep well?”

The boy nodded. “I did! I had a good night's sleep as well!”

Gavin and the others smiled. “We all slept well!”

“Mommy, did Daddy call you?” Gavin inquired.

“He did. I went to the office before I came here,” Arissa answered.

When she was talking, the kids were all staring at her.

Jasper then noticed the worsening wound on the corner of her lips.

“Mommy, it seems that your wound has worsened! It's swollen now!”
