Chapter 286 Your Daddy Is Sick

Kingsley glanced at Jesse and was bewildered to notice the latter almost crying.

“Please don’t cry. I’m sending you guys back right now.”

“I’m not crying!”

Jesse tried hard to hold back her tears.

“Jesse, hold on, okay? We’ll be seeing Mommy real soon!” Gavin caressed Jesse’s head lovingly.

Jasper cut a glare at his sister. “You don’t want Mommy to see you crying, do you? That’s embarrassing!”

Zachary said, “I bet you will be the same too if we wait one more day.”

Jasper pursed his lips in dismay.

Oliver teased, “But Jesse’s been itching to cry since this morning!”

Zachary cut an angry look at the two of them. They always like to bully Jesse.

Right then, he stretched out his hand to stroke Jesse’s head too. “We’re going to see Mommy now.”

“Okay!”

Jesse nodded obediently.

Kingsley scanned them from the rearview mirror.

“Are you guys sure your mommy’s at home?”

“Yes. She called us just now. She’s home,” Gavin responded firmly.

Mommy’s definitely at home.

Kingsley asked curiously, “How about you daddy? Is he at home too?”

“That we don’t know!” Gavin snorted with displeasure.

Kingsley glanced at the boy and teased, “Don’t you care about your daddy?”

“He doesn’t need my care.”

Gavin’s tone was full of resentment.

Kingsley smiled. “Who told you that? He needs it the most right now.”

Gavin furrowed his brows as he sensed Kingsley had something to say. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Zachary and Oliver shifted their gazes toward Kingsley as well.

“Uncle Kingsley, what are you trying to say?” Jasper asked.

Kingsley smiled again. “It looks like you’re the one who cares about your daddy the most, huh?”

“Nope. I don’t care about him at all!” Jasper responded arrogantly.

Kingsley uttered casually, “Oh, is that so? Then I guess you won’t care that your daddy is sick, huh?”

“Daddy’s sick?” Gavin’s frown deepened.

How could Daddy be sick? Isn’t he healthy all this while?

Seeing Gavin’s worried look, Kingsley somewhat felt happy for Benjamin.

This little kid keeps saying that he hates his daddy, but he just can’t help worrying about him.

Feeling puzzled, Zachary asked Kingsley, “Uncle Kingsley, what sickness does he have?”

Could it be that Mommy was busy last night because of him?

Oliver and Jasper also stared closely at Kingsley.

“Uncle Kingsley, is it serious?”

Meanwhile, Jesse started to worry too.

Kingsley cleared his throat and uttered sternly, “Of course it’s serious. He was even hospitalized last night.”

The kids’ expression all darkened at that.

“Why did he stay in the hospital?” Gavin asked, anxious.

“He had an anaphylactic shock. He almost died!”

Kingsley gazed at the five children’s bewildered faces.

Gavin also had a food allergy, and he suffered a lot when it was severe.

As such, he was utterly worried when he knew Benjamin was on the verge of passing out.

“That serious?” Zachary was startled.

“Yeah. Mr. Bailey received a call yesterday afternoon and left right after that. It was about your Daddy!”

Kingsley let out a sigh.

“Then how is he now?”

Oliver frowned deeply as he stared intently at Kingsley.

Kingsley started comforting them as he could not bear to tease them anymore.

“They managed to save him. He looked better when I saw him this morning.”

Hearing that, Gavin heaved a sigh of relief, but his face still showed that he was worried.

He grumbled, “Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”

In response, Kingsley sighed. “We didn’t want you guys to worry. Besides, your mommy has been taking care of him. So he’ll be fine.”

The kids exchanged glances. “Was Mommy with him all the time?”
