The More the Merrier

Chapter 417 No One Dared To Tell The Truth

The kids were plagued by guilt and fear of being scolded, so they felt a little better when they saw Benjamin comforting them instead of scolding them.

“Is Gavin really okay?” Zachary asked.

Benjamin cast a quick glance at Gavin, who was lying on the bed, before nodding at them. “Yeah, he’ll be fine. Mr. Bailey is an amazing doctor, after all.”

Shaun was nearly touched to tears when he heard Benjamin’s compliment, but he was so busy treating Gavin that he didn’t have time for such emotions.

Darius sat down beside Gavin and slowly loosened up his fingers that were tightly curled.

“We were scared witless when Gavin fainted all of a sudden, Mr. Graham!” Jasper sobbed.

Benjamin pulled him into his arms and wiped his tears dry before giving the other kids a hug.

“Don’t be scared. Everything will be all right.”

Zachary slowly calmed down when he saw that the adults were all present, especially with one of them being a doctor.
