Chapter 474 Sharing Apples With The Other Children âLetâs stay here for now. Iâll call Daddy and ask him how Mommyâs doing,â said Gavin.
âOkay.â Zachary nodded.
âHurry up!â urged Jasper.
âI wonder if he even knows how to look after Mommy,â Oliver pondered.
Still, they secretly commended Benjamin for rushing home just for Arissa.
With a nod, Gavin took out his phone, adjusting his tone a little.
âAre you still with Mommy?â
âYeah,â answered Benjamin. âWhy?â
âWhy didnât you tell me that sheâs sick?â the boy questioned sternly.
Benjamin paused momentarily before responding, âAnd what if I did tell you? Youâd just come and bother her while sheâs asleep.â
âI wouldnât do that,â Gavin replied dejectedly. âHow is Mommy doing now?â
âSheâs still sleeping. Sheâs fine now.â
The man glanced at Arissa, who was still in bed.
âYouâd better take good care of her,â warned Gavin. âIâm coming after you if I get home and find out that you donât treat her well.â
Benjamin scoffed. âIs there anything else?â
âNo.â
After hanging up, Gavin turned to his siblings. âMommyâs fine. Sheâs asleep now.â
The other children nodded in response.
âThatâs great!â
âLetâs head back to where Tim is,â said Zachary.
âLetâs go.â
They made their way back under Gavinâs lead, only to freeze in surprise as they spotted Tim heading up the stairs.
Seeing the boy drenched in sweat and panting heavily, they rushed over to him.
âTim! You walked all the way up using the stairs?â
Jasper stared at Tim, who turned red and nodded.
Gavin, Zachary, and Oliver were dumbfounded.
âBut Tim,â said Jesse while pointing to the elevator. âYou couldâve taken the elevator. Youâd be so tired coming all the way up climbing the stairs!â
âI...â
Tim found himself unable to speak. He had taken the stairs because he didnât know how to use the elevator.
âItâs healthier to use the stairs,â Zachary chimed in as he noticed the boyâs embarrassment.
Then, he walked toward him. âIâll help you carry that.â
âItâs okay!â
Tim opened the bag and gave them each an apple. âI got you apples!â
The boy then headed back into the ward with the two remaining apples.
Holding the fruit in their hands, the five children exchanged glances before breaking out into a smile.
âHe doesnât seem to hate us! He even gave us apples.â
Oliver gave his apple a quick rub and began to eat it.
âYou should wash that first.â
Being the clean freak he was, Zachary couldnât stand seeing his brother behaving that way.
The More the Merrier âItâll be fine!â
With a grin, Jasper wiped his own apple with his shirt and took a bite. âYum! Itâs really sweet.â
Zachary shook his head. âLetâs go wash our apples,â he said to Zachary and Jesse.
âOkay,â Jesse replied delicately before following the boy.
Jack soon returned, and his eyes lit up at the sight of each child holding an apple.
âIâll go in first,â he said to them while heading in the direction of the ward.
He still had to rush back to Dellmoor right after this.
The man entered the ward and saw Tim handing Ethen an apple.
âThis is for you, Mr. Frank!â
Ethen was moved to see the little boy give the last apple away. âThank you, Tim! But you can have it.â
âI donât like apples. You eat it,â Tim insisted.
âDo I get one, too, Tim?â teased Jack as he walked over.
The boy was stunned as embarrassment washed over him.
But I only bought seven. Thereâs none left!
Seeing that, Jack chuckled and handed over the things he bought earlier.
