You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040 Hiding The Truth

Shaun was in Darius' ward when he received a call from Benjamin.

“Boss—”

“Is it convenient for you to talk right now?”

At the sound of the children's voices from the other end of the line, Benjamin urged Shaun to find a more suitable location to further their conversation.

Shaun caught onto the severity of his tone and excused himself from the ward.

Darius and the five little ones eyed him on his way out.

Once Shaun was a safe distance away from the ward, he replied, “What is it, Boss?”

“I need you to come over to Second Hospital right away.”

“What's the matter, Boss? Are you okay?” Shaun's eyes widened when he heard what Benjamin said.

“It's my wife. She seems to be showing signs of a miscarriage. Come over quick!”

Benjamin briefly recounted Arissa's condition and urged Shaun to be on his way.

“I'll be there as soon as possible!” Shaun was flabbergasted. He turned around and was greeted by the sight of Zachary standing behind him.

“Mr. Bailey, why did Daddy call you?”

Zachary was exceptionally astute, and his piercing gaze was scrutinizing Shaun.

Shaun patted his head. “It's nothing to worry about. I have to attend a meeting now. Why don't you go back in and play with the others?”

Keeping the truth a secret from the little boy, Shaun made a mad dash to his office to retrieve his medical box and even dispensed some pills for pregnancy stabilization before heading to the hospital.

Zachary's brows wrinkled at the flustered state Shaun was in.

Mr. Bailey is in a hurry after a call from Daddy. This means that something's up. What could it be?

Zachary frowned as he tried to figure out the possible reason behind Shaun's hasty departure. Could Mommy be hurt?

His heart dropped as he instantly tried calling Arissa to no avail.

To his dismay, her phone was shutdown.

As such, he had no choice but to track Benjamin's location discreetly.

Benjamin's eyes narrowed as his phone's security system began ringing.

Who is tracking me?

He grimaced as it was indicated that the tracker was located at the hospital he owned.

Did the children overhear my conversation with Shaun?

Zachary deactivated the tracking system once he pinpointed Benjamin's whereabouts and immediately switched the screen to the footage of Second Hospital's surveillance cameras.

Shaun had no clue what Zachary was up to and had already arrived at Second Hospital.

“Boss, is Mrs. Graham all right?” Shaun inquired the moment he set foot into the ward, not even bothering to put away the things he was carrying.

“Have a look at her.”

Benjamin made room for Shaun to inspect Arissa.

Shaun took a seat and measured Arissa's pulse while she was still fast asleep.

The moment Benjamin saw Shaun's grim expression, the former's heart clenched with worry.

Is there something wrong?

“How is it?”

Anxiously, he enjoined Shaun to inform him about the results.

“The child's condition is unstable.”

Shaun then turned to look at Benjamin. “Was she bleeding?”

Benjamin nodded. “She told me there was some minor bleeding.”
