Chapter 1317 The Kids Did Not Eat It


    When the little kid offered the candy to Gavin and the others, they were all left speechless.


    They truly didn''t expect Regan to stop at nothing, even going so far as to bribe children.


    “We don''t want that. You can take it all away!”


    Gavin and his siblings were in agreement. They didn''t want to eat what Regan had offered. Instead,


    they passed it all to the little kid.


    The child was overjoyed, saying thank you as he kept them all in his own backpack. He was so excited


    that he even snuck in a snack during ss.


    “Is that lollipop delicious?” Jesse curiously murmured, watching the little kid enjoying it and feeling a bit


    tempted.


    “Do you want it?” Jasper turned to re at her, thinking the girl was about to be bribed by Regan.


    Jesse scrunched up her nose and exined in a hushed voice, “I do want it, but I can''t eat something


    bought by the bad guy.”

    Zachary patted the girl''s head gently and said softly, “I''ll buy one for you after school.”


    Jesse''s eyes lit up with excitement, and she pped her hands without making a sound. “Thank you,


    Zachary!”


    Zachary smiled and ruffled her hair.


    The siblings then focused on their lessons and didn''t pay much attention to anything else.


    As for Regan, whether he stayed or left was none of their concern.


    At the hospital, Arissa was waiting for the results of her blood tests. If everything was fine, she could go


    home.


    Benjamin noticed her asionally ncing at the door, looking anxious. He sighed in helplessness.


    “You rest well. I''ll tell you when the resultse out.”


    Arissa nced at him teasingly. “Are you trying to trick me into sleeping and making me stay longer in


    the hospital?”


    Benjamin chuckled, half exasperated, his eyes fixed on her. “Even if I were trying to trick you, it would


    only be for a few extra hours. Is that necessary?”


    Arissa snorted lightly. She endured untilte in the evening around ten when her blood test results


    finally arrived.


    Shaun came personally to tell them that everything was normal.


    “I told you, I''m fine! Benjamin, hurry up and pack. We''re going home!”


    Arissa was overjoyed and urged her husband to pack their belongings and leave the hospital.


    Benjamin shook his head, getting up to pack their things.


    Shaun watched them with a smile and advised, “Even though you can leave the hospital, you still need


    to rest at home. If you feel ufortable anywhere, make sure toe to the hospital for a check-up.”


    “You''reing with us to Yaleview,” Benjamin turned to Shaun and informed him.


    Shaun''s mouth twitched, protesting, “Benjamin, now that Arissa''s condition has stabilized, I have work


    to do at the hospital. I cane to your ce for routine check-ups in the mornings and evenings;


    there''s no need for me to be there all the time.”


    The main reason was that in Yaleview, he would have to witness the loving rtionship between the


    married couple all the time, which was quite a blow to a single man like him.


    He was adamant about not going to Yaleview.


    “Yeah, I''m fine now. Let Mr. Bailey focus on his work. Morning check-ups will suffice; there''s no need for


    him to follow me around,” Arissa added.


    Arissa also tried to convince Benjamin that there were household staff at home, so there was no need


    for so many people to stay with her.


    Benjamin scoffed in response, reluctantly agreeing.


    “Benjamin, I can help you pack!” Shaun offered cheerfully, eager to lend a hand.


    Benjamin had already packed Arissa''s personal items and immediately put Shaun to work. “You can


    pack those things over there.”


    Shaun smiled sheepishly but didn''t dare to ck off. He efficiently started packing.


    Arissa watched the man who stood to the side and directed Shaun''s work, feeling both amused and


    exasperated.


    “You can help Mr. Bailey pack too. That way, it''ll be faster!”


    Benjamin nced at her and handed her a coat, then instructed the bodyguard to watch over Shaun


    while he carried Arissa away.


    “We''re heading back, Mr. Bailey. Thank you for everything!”


    Arissa felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said goodbye to Shaun.


    “Arissa, if anyone bothers you, make sure to tell me. I''ll deal with them for you,” Shaun hinted with a


    meaningful look.


    Benjamin shot him a re in response.


    Shaun backed down and waved his hand. “Well, you two hurry back. No need for an escort!”
