Chapter 443 Does He Not Care About You

After ensuring that Edwin's eyes were not on them, Zachary winked discreetly at Shaun, hinting at him by gesturing with his mouth.

Evidently, the boy was hinting at him that Gavin was fine and requesting him to keep it under wraps from Darius and his mother.

After Shaun entered the room, Arissa called out to him anxiously, "Dr. Bailey, please check on Gavin now. He mentioned that he's overeaten and feels like vomiting. Can you help to see if he has caught a cold or if there's anything wrong with him?"

"Calm down, Arissa. Let me check on him first," Shuan put his medical box down and pressed on Gavin's abdomen lightly. At the same time, he glanced obliquely at the boy's countenance.

Moments later, it struck him why Zachary and the others were eager to tell him something earlier.

"It seems that Gavin has a bloated stomach after overeating. I'll give him some digestive tablets. Don't worry. He should be fine after that," Shaun stated matter-of-factly.

"So his stomach really is bloated?" Arissa furrowed her brows. Undeniably, she recalled how Gavin had eaten quite a lot when they were having breakfast earlier. On top of that, he took some more of the food brought over by Darius again.

In actuality, Gavin did not feel the slightest bit of discomfort. He shot Shaun a glance with a hint of warning. Hence, the latter replied nonchalantly, "Yeah."

"They usually don't eat much but tend to eat a lot more whenever they're together with you," Edwin told Arissa tactfully. He did not doubt Shaun's judgment at all.

"I shouldn't have brought so much food over just now. It's all my fault." Darius could not help blaming himself.

Arissa looked at them before asking Shaun, "Is there anything else wrong with him aside from a bloated stomach?"

"Don't worry, Arissa. There isn't any other problem," Shaun reassured her with a smile and let Gavin swallow the digestive tablets. He then pretended to massage Gavin's belly to boost his digestion. Surrounded by the others, Gavin felt relatively awkward. Thus, he told Arissa, "Mommy, I'm feeling a lot better now. You'd better catch some sleep now. Mr. Bailey will take good care of me here." Stunned upon hearing the boy's words, Shaun turned to look at Arissa and queried, "Arissa, are you feeling unwell too?"

"No. I'm only feeling a bit sleepy because I didn't sleep last night," Arissa explained with a chuckle.

"Don't you know that staying up the whole night is harmful to your health? How could you do that when you're not feeling well yesterday? I can't believe Benjamin just let you be! Oh my! I'll be the one to be blamed again if you fall sick later!" Shaun wailed, utterly speechless.

Arissa could not utter any words to refute him.

Just then, Edwin cut in, "Mr. Bailey, Mr. Graham is not at home at the moment."

Shaun's jaw dropped at that. "Huh? He's not at home? Did he step out last night?"

Edwin nodded.

"Where did he go?" he asked.

Edwin looked at him and replied, “He's on a business trip.”

Shaun frowned. On a business trip?

"Arissa, go ahead and have a rest. Don't worry about Gavin. I'll take good care of him!" He tried to talk her into having a rest.

Darius echoed, "He's right. Issa, take a good rest. We'll look after the kids. So don't worry, okay?"

"Mommy, you should go to bed now," Gavin urged her.

"Mommy, go and have a good sleep. We'll take great care of Gavin!" Jasper pushed his mother slightly toward the door.

Feeling touched by their words of concern, Arissa chuckled. "Okay. I'll go for a rest now. Gavin, remember to tell Mr. Bailey at once if you're not feeling well again, okay?"

"Okay. Don't worry, Mommy. I'm fine, and I'll take medicine on time!" Gavin convinced her.

Arissa tucked her son in before she left the room to have a rest.

After she stepped out, the five kids fastened their gazes on Darius. Zachary got straight to the point. "Grandpa, you should go down to have a cup of tea. Don't worry. Mr. Bailey will be by Gavin's side." Flashing them a smile, Darius uttered gently, "It's all right. I'll go down after Gavin sleeps."

Hearing that, Zachary and Gavin exchanged glances.

Moments later, Gavin pretended to drift off to sleep after taking medicine.

Shaun's lips twitched at the boy putting up a show.

Zachary gestured to his siblings and whispered, "Look, Gavin's asleep now. Grandpa, let's go downstairs."

"Grandpa, let's go downstairs to play games. Let Gavin have a good rest, okay?" Jesse grabbed her grandfather's arm coquettishly.

Oliver and Jasper, too, grabbed his other arm. "Grandpa, Mr. Bailey will take care of Gavin. Let's go down for tea."

"All right. Let's go then." Darius had no choice but to take their suggestions. He only went down with his other four grandchildren after requesting Shaun to take good care of Gavin.
