Chapter 358 Benjamin Takes Care Of Her Throughout The Night
“Is there any Panadol soluble? I’ll just take two of that,” asked Arissa as she looked toward Benjamin.
She was feeling extremely uncomfortable due to her fever and could feel her teeth aching as well.
Noticing that the woman’s breathing was slightly labored, Benjamin gave Shaun another call, urging him to hurry.
“I’ll go and check. Get some sleep first!” Benjamin said to Arissa before heading downstairs to check if there was any fever medicine in the house.
He managed to find some Panadol soluble and threw them into a glass of water. Then, he went back upstairs and helped Arissa sit up on the bed.
“Arissa, drink some water!”
The woman’s head felt groggy as she started sipping on the water.
She had only detected the bitter taste of the medicine in the water when she had almost finished drinking the entire glass.
“Mmm…”
“Finish it!” Benjamin ordered.
Arissa had no choice but to finish up the medicine with her face all scrunched up.
After making sure that she had drunk it all up, Benjamin helped her lie down in bed.
When the man went to wet the towel to wipe Arissa’s face, Shaun arrived.
Carrying his medical kit, the doctor ran upstairs and asked, “How is Mrs. Graham?”
Benjamin frowned when he saw that Arissa had already fallen asleep in just a few minutes.
“When I called you just now, her fever was at thirty-eight degrees Celsius! She has just taken some Panadol soluble.”
Shaun took out his own medical equipment at once and checked Arissa’s body temperature.
“Thirty-eight point three degrees Celsius!”
The crease between Benjamin’s brows deepened when he heard that.
But it has only been such a short while. Why is it that her temperature has risen?
“Think of a way to bring it down!”
Shaun took a glance at Benjamin and started to treat Arissa without any delay.
However, after half an hour, the woman’s fever still had not subsided.
As such, Shaun gave her an injection.
Another half an hour later, Arissa’s fever finally subsided, and Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief.
Before Shaun arrived, he could only try to cool Arissa’s fever by dabbing a wet towel on her forehead.
The doctor took a look at his friend and teased, “Did you guys agree on taking turns to fall sick?”
Benjamin responded by rolling his eyes.
Shaun chuckled and said, “Look at how worried you are! Luckily, I stay pretty close to Yaleview.”
“Stop your nonsense and go get some rest in the guest room!”
Benjamin raised his voice at Shaun before he continued to take care of Arissa.
Seeing that, the corners of Shaun’s lips twitched.
He looked toward Benjamin and said, “Since Mrs. Graham’s fever has subsided, you can stop worrying. Is your stomach feeling better?”
“Yup!” Benjamin nodded.
“Even though you’re unlikely to have a relapse, you should ensure that you get enough rest as well,” Shaun reminded.
Benjamin nodded again.
He lay down on the bed next to the woman after Shaun left the room, touching her forehead intermittently.
The man felt his heart aching again when he noticed how tired Arissa looked even when she was asleep.
Leaning over, he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Benjamin did not dare to fall into a deep sleep throughout the entire night, waking up at intervals to check if Arissa’s fever had returned.
He only managed to fall asleep at daybreak.
Meanwhile, being tortured by her nightmare and fever, the woman was still sound asleep when the sky was already bright.
When the five little ones woke up, they pouted and frowned in displeasure when they noticed that Arissa was not there.
“Didn’t Mommy promise to sleep in our room?” Jesse said unhappily.
Jasper rubbed his eyes as he grumbled, “Maybe Mommy is already awake?”
Squinting his eyes, Oliver replied, “It’s just 6 a.m. now. Mommy wouldn’t wake up so early.”
Zachary nodded in agreement before glancing at the door. “Is it possible that Benjamin took Mommy away?”
A glint flashed past Gavin’s eyes as a crease appeared between his brows.
“I’ll go and take a look!”
The boy quickly jumped off the bed and ran out of their bedroom, heading toward Benjamin’s bedroom.
Zachary, Oliver, Jasper and Jesse caught up with their brother immediately, wanting to find out if Arissa was in the man’s room.
When the five little ones saw that their mommy was indeed there and was sleeping in Benjamin’s arms, they let out a loud snort and started complaining furiously.
“Mr. Graham is so shameless! How dare he hug Mommy!”
“I hate Mr. Graham for snatching our mommy away!”
