Out of the blue, the sound of coughing echoed through the doorway.

Soon after, Arissa's eyes filled with mortification as she glanced at the door and saw the children. Instinctively, she
pushed Benjamin away and exclaimed, “My sweethearts, you're here!”
Benjamin held her down before she could sit up from her agitation. He reprimanded her hushedly, “Stay in bed!”
Arissa's wide eyes blinked innocently as she felt wronged.
The six little ones rushed into the room and crowded around the bed, pushing Benjamin aside.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Hey!”
Arissa's heart melted at the sight of the children, and she reached out to pat their little heads with a radiant smile.
“How did you all arrive so quickly?”
“We asked the driver to drive faster!” Gavin's eyes sparkled as he gazed at Arissa.
Tim was similarly elated, his gaze on Arissa the whole time.
Concurrently, Jesse gently touched the back of her hand. “Mommy, why are you still getting injected by this?”
Zachary furrowed his brows as he scrutinized Arissa. “Mommy, are you still feeling unwell?”
Oliver and Jasper gazed at their mother nervously, worried about her well-being. They both inquired in unison,
“Mommy, where exactly do you feel uncomfortable?”
“What's wrong with Mommy?” Gavin turned his head to snap at Benjamin.

wrong?”

“No, no, I'm not sick!” Arissa assured them hastily.

After all, she had only reunited with Tim recently, and she had not spent much time with Gavin, yet she was
pregnant again. She was worried that the news might be too upsetting for the children.
“Then, what's wrong?” Tim scrunched up his eyebrows with his gaze fixed on Arissa.
Arissa reached out and patted his head before gathering her children close to her. “I don't really know how to
explain.”
The children looked up at her, bemused. Jesse's long eyelashes were misted with tears, accentuating her
adorableness.
Arissa kissed foreheads.
“Mommy, just tell us!” Zachary was less worried now upon knowing she wasn't sick.
With a contemplative gaze, Arissa scanned each of their faces before settling her gaze on Benjamin.
