The More The Merrier Chapter 357

Chapter 357 Why Are You Hitting Yourself

Benjamin felt his heart wrench in pain when he saw how upset Arissa was, her face covered with sweat and tears.

He reached out to wipe away her tears and said gently, “Arissa, you’re having a nightmare!”

Noticing that Arissa still seemed to be in a daze, the man could not help but worry.

He carried her to the sofa and patted her back softly, sitting by her side.

“It’s all right. It’s just a dream!” Benjamin cooed.

Hearing that, the woman sniffled and gradually returned to her senses.

When she felt the warmth of Benjamin’s embrace, her feeling of helplessness slowly subsided.

“Everything is fine now.”

The man lifted her face and comforted her.

Tears welled up in Arissa’s eyes as she met Benjamin’s worried gaze.

Still feeling helpless, she tried to stop herself from crying as she started narrating her dream to the man.

“Just now, I…”

Unable to hold back her tears, tears flowed down the woman’s cheeks as she spoke.

Patting her back gently, Benjamin said, “It’s just a dream.”

Arissa finally calmed down and stopped crying after a while.

She sniffled and slipped out of the man’s arms. That was when she saw that his shirt was already soaked with her

tears and snot.

“Sorry! You should go and wash up!” Arissa exclaimed, feeling awkward.

“It’s all right!” Benjamin replied and proceeded to wipe away the remaining tears on Arissa’s face while she glanced

at him.

“Are you feeling better now?” Benjamin asked, fixing his worried gaze on Arissa.

She could feel a dull pain in her heart as she replied, “I dreamed of the kids being taken away just now.”

When Benjamin heard that, he frowned and felt his heart aching.

“I guessed it when I heard you screaming just now.”



Arissa looked at him briefly and said, “You should go and wash up. I’ll sit here for a while more!”

Benjamin sized her up and noticed that her emotions were more or less settled. Only then did he stand up and head

toward the bathroom.

Arissa curled up on the couch and a sorrowful expression appeared on her face as she tried to recall how many of

her children Danna had taken away.

Was it one or two?

The woman’s head started aching when she tried harder to recall her dream.

Feeling frustrated, she lifted her hand and knocked her head with her knuckles.

At the same time, Benjamin came out and saw Arissa doing that. A crease appeared between his brows as he

strode toward her.

“Why are you hitting yourself?” He grabbed her hand, stopping her actions.

Arissa glanced at the man and replied, “My head is hurting.”

Benjamin reached out to touch her forehead and noticed that it felt rather hot.

“Wait a minute!”

After retrieving a thermometer, he checked the woman’s body temperature.

“Thirty-eight degrees Celsius! You’re running a fever,” Benjamin said with his brows furrowed.

When Arissa heard that, she was slightly stunned. She realized that her recent headaches could be due to her fever

and not because of her bad mood as a result of the dreams she had been having.

After taking a look at the woman, Benjamin said, “Go and rest in bed!”

Arissa shot a glance at him, stood up and headed to the bathroom.

Benjamin poured a glass of water while waiting for her to come out.

The moment Arissa opened the door, he immediately rushed over to help her to the bed before asking, “Are you

still feeling unwell?”

The woman shook her head and took over the glass of water.

“Drink more water! I’ll get Shaun to come over,” Benjamin said as he took out his phone.

“There’s no need for that. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine!” Arissa said, looking at the man.

Ignoring her words, Benjamin continued to make the call. “Shaun, come over right now. Arissa is having a fever!”



Arissa felt a little embarrassed when she heard that. When she stood up to pour herself a glass of water, she

staggered for a bit.

“Be careful! What are you doing?” Benjamin hurried over to support her.

Tossing his phone to one side, he carried her to the bed.

“I want some water,” Arissa said, looking at the man.

Benjamin propped her up against the headboard and stroked her head affectionately while replying, “Lie still. I’ll get

it for you!”

Arissa stared at the man’s figure as he turned around and headed to the kitchen.

“Thank you!” she said, feeling touched.

Benjamin took a glance at her and replied, “Stop talking and drink up!”

After Arissa drank a few glasses of water, Benjamin took a wet towel and placed it on her forehead.

“You should get some rest too! Your stomach isn’t feeling well,” Arissa looked at the man and urged.

“I’m fine now,” Benjamin said as he sat down by her bed and fixed his gaze on her with tightly knitted brows.

Noticing that her lips were unusually red, he flipped the towel over.
