Chapter 99 Riding The Bus

“Mommy, sit down. I’ll apply the ointment for you.”

Zachary pulled her over to a bench.

“Sweetheart, we’ll do it at home.”

Arissa saw that quite a number of people were looking at her and her children, and she did not want to draw more attention.

Gavin whined, “No! We have to apply it now!”

Oliver chimed in, “Yes, now!”

Jasper also urged her, “Mommy, sit down!”

“Mommy, it will heal faster if you put it on now,” Jesse added.

Arissa was helpless in the face of her five domineering children who insisted for her to apply the medicine right there and then.

“All right!” She gave in and cooperated with them.

After the tube of ointment was opened and squeezed out onto a cotton swab, Jasper rubbed the medicine on Arissa’s bruise.

“Ouch!” Arissa felt a sting of pain.

Oliver shoved Jasper to the side and stepped forward. “You’re hurting Mommy. Let me do it!”

Arissa was amused by her children’s antics.

“I’m fine. I can handle the pain. The medicine must be massaged into the bruise so that it heals faster.”

Meanwhile, Jesse stood at the side, performing her duty as a professional bruise blower.
