Chapter 999

Arissa noticed Tim's injuries were not only from falling but also from bullying. Her heart twisted in pain at the thought of Tim being hit behind her back. The rim of her eyes turned red. Tears pricked the back of her eyes as she pulled him into a hug.

Suddenly, she felt a large hand gently patting her head, comforting her.

As she raised her head, her eyes locked with Benjamin's worried gaze.

“Okay, Arissa?”

Benjamin caressed her head again, hinting at her to regain her composure.

Stamping down the sadness she felt, Arissa let go of Tim.

“I'm really fine, Mommy. Don't be sad,” Tim comforted her when he noticed her red-rimmed eyes.

Arissa smiled faintly before pulling him into another embrace and giving him a peck.

Guilt surged within Tim. He wouldn't have shown his injuries to Arissa if he knew it would upset her.

Benjamin patted Tim's head. “Wait downstairs for us, kids. Your mommy will take a while to finish packing.”

Gavin knew Benjamin wanted to talk privately with Arissa, so he obediently led his brothers and sister out of the room.

“Tim, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, Jesse, let's head downstairs.”

Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse glanced at Arissa. “Mommy, we'll be downstairs.”
