You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 689

Shaun smiled because his suspicion had just been confirmed.

“If it hurts a lot, I can disinfect your wound again.”

“That's not necessary. It doesn't hurt that much,” Arissa replied.

His remark brought a faint blush to her cheeks.

He seems to have found out about something. This is all that jerk's fault!

Edwin glanced at her and perceived the hint of embarrassment in her expression. Suddenly, the truth dawned upon him, and his eyes widened in surprise.

“Mrs. Graham, don't be shy. It's better to let Mr. Bailey have a look if it hurts,” he advised.

Then, he urged Shaun, “Mr. Bailey, please give Mrs. Graham a more effective ointment!”

The latter nodded. “I'll go and get one. It'll fasten the healing process once she applies some to her wound from time to time!”

“Thanks!” Arissa was eager to end that topic.

Right then, her phone rang. The caller was Benjamin.

She picked up the phone and put it to her ear.

“Have you arrived at the hospital?” The man's voice traveled from the speakers and into her ear.

“Yes,” Arissa answered in a low voice.


“Why is it so quiet there?” Benjamin sounded puzzled.

Arissa looked over and saw that the kids and Edwin were trying to listen to her conversation with Benjamin. It amused her.

“It's quiet because the kids aren't talking,” she replied.

“Are they with you?”

“Yes!”

“Does the wound on your lips still hurt? If it does, get Shaun to prescribe you another ointment.”

Arissa was embarrassed when Benjamin mentioned her wound again.

“I got it. Get back to work. I'll hang up if there's nothing else! Edwin and the kids are all here.”

“All right!” Benjamin answered.

He actually had nothing to talk to her about. All he wanted was to hear her voice.

Shaun then came back with the ointment and passed it to Arissa.

“Mommy, apply it to your wound! Let's see if it helps!” Gavin urged. “Let me help you!”

After saying that, he wanted to take the ointment from her.

“It's okay. I can do it myself!”

Arissa uncapped the tube of ointment and applied some to her wound by using her phone as a mirror.

At that sight, Shaun chuckled and went into the ward to fetch her a cotton bud.

“Arissa, use this. It works better.”

“Okay!” Arissa took it and spread the ointment over her wound with the cotton bud.

She did it lighter than Benjamin, so she did not feel any pain. Instead, the only sensation she experienced was the coolness brought about by the ointment.

“This is much better than the one Benjamin has!” she commented.

Shaun chuckled. “The one he has was from me as well. Perhaps it has expired!”

“I guess.”

Realizing that everyone was looking at her, Arissa endured the embarrassment, turned around, and threw the cotton bud away.
