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.”

Benjamin explained Arissa's condition to Shaun once more and told him about the doctor's diagnosis.

Shaun pondered for a moment and advised, “Make sure she gets plenty of rest. I'm going to ask the doctor about

the test results. See you later.”

Benjamin inclined his head.

Shaun put his things down and hastened to find the doctor so that he could have a detailed understanding of

Arissa's current state.

Benjamin's eyes flickered when he received a call from his child. He walked over to the balcony before picking it up.

“Zachary,” he said.

“Is Mommy hurt?”

Just as Benjamin had expected, Zachary's desperate voice traveled from the other end of the line. He decided not

to question how Zachary managed to find out.

“She's fine.”

Benjamin decided to keep the truth a secret from Zachary for the time being.

“You're lying! I can see that you all are at the hospital!”

Zachary scoffed, not concealing the fact that he was spying on them.

Benjamin's gaze swept over Arissa, who was lying in bed. This child is just too smart to be tricked.

He deliberated whether or not to tell Zachary the truth.

“I'll find out myself even if you won't tell me!” Zachary threatened.

Benjamin sighed. “Don't worry. Your Mommy is fine now. She simply ate something that had gone bad.”

Benjamin felt it'd be better to reveal Arissa's pregnancy to the children at a later time.
