    Chapter 242 Applying Ointment


    After the director and the rest of the medical team helped Benjamin to settle down in the VIP ward and


    gave some instructions to Arissa, they left.


    Arissa sighed when she saw Benjamin’s swollen face as he remained unconscious on the hospital bed.


    She took the ointment prescribed by the doctor and applied it to his face.


    Kingsley and Shaun came in at that moment.


    “This guy’s will be disfigured,” Kingsley teased.


    Arissa lifted her head to look at him. “Eh? That’s not true. He’ll look fine after the swelling goes down.”


    Kingsleyughed. D*mn. I thought I can scare her. She’s quite smart!


    How childish. Shaun shot a look at Kingsley before he turned to look at Arissa.


    “So you’re Gavin’s mom,” Shaun said.

    No wonder Benjamin treats her differently.


    Arissa nodded and introduced herself. “I’m Arissa York.”


    “I know. I’m Shaun Bailey,” he replied with a smile. He thought about the time when he almost got to


    meet Arissa in person.


    Arissa nodded and continued to apply the ointment. “Um, when will the swelling go down?”


    “The swelling should reduce after we give him a few shots, a few more bags of drips, and apply the


    ointment that you’re holding,” Shaun exined to her so that she wouldn’t be so worried anymore.


    Arissa looked at Benjamin and considered taking off his clothes so that she could apply the ointment on


    his body. The red patches on his body were more serious than the ones he had on his face and neck.


    Shaun suggested with a smile after sensing her hesitation. “If you want the swelling to go away sooner,


    it’s best to apply it everywhere. Besides, it’ll soothe his difort since it has some cooling effect as


    well.”


    “Okay,” she replied.


    He’s like this because of me. Applying the ointment on his body is nothingpared to that!


    Once she made up her mind, she started unbuttoning Benjamin’s shirt.


    The two men stood at the side as they watched her without offering their help. It was only when Shaun


    nudged Kingsley that the two of them left the ward to give Arissa some privacy.


    “Does this count as a blessing in disguise for Benjamin?” Kingsley teased as he rubbed his chin and


    had a look of mischief on his face.


    Shaunughed. “Maybe.”


    “Since he’s okay now, let’s go y with Gavin and the others!” Kingsley suggested.


    Since Arissa is here to take care of him, there’s no need for us to be here anyway. It’s better for us to


    return to Old Manor of the Graham family to y with the kids.


    “Wait a moment!” Shaun said before he walked into the ward.


    Shaun walked in on them as Arissa was about to take off Benjamin’s belt.


    When she saw Shaun, she quickly retracted her hand. Ahh! That was so awkward!


    “We’ll be going first, Ms. York. Please take good care of him. Feel free to call me anytime if there’s


    anything. He’ll be fine after taking the shots, so don’t worry too much, okay? Please continue with what


    you were doing. The swelling would go away faster if you apply the ointment every three to four hours,”


    Shaun said to her and left his name card on the table.


    After Shaun left, she looked at the closed door and waited for a while. When she was sure that no one


    woulde in, she started taking off Benjamin’s shirt.


    The sight of all the red patches on his entire body was terrifying. She didn’t even have the time to


    check out his body. Instead, she quickly applied the ointment on the front part of his body. Once she


    was done, she did the same thing to his back.


    Just as she was applying the ointment on his waist, someone gripped her wrists suddenly.


    “Ouch!” she eximed as she felt that her bones almost cracked.


    She lifted her head and her heart tightened when she saw Benjamin ring at her. He had regained


    consciousness.


    “What do you think you’re doing?” he asked with furrowed brow when he saw that it was her.


    “I’m applying ointment on you!” she replied. His re shocked her.


    His eyes shed. The moment he saw his naked body, he raised his brow and stared at her.


    “Could you please let go of my hand?” Arissa blushed and tried to suppress the pain in her wrist.


    That hurts! Do you know that your grip is very strong?


    Benjamin let her go after realizing that he was still gripping her hand.


    Once her hand was free, she quickly massaged her wrist. There was a red ring around it.
