Chapter 540 Mommy Has Never Forgotten About Us Arissa stroked his head as she sat down. âHe said that he has gone to see Mr. Bailey.â
Zachary nodded.
Oliver asked, âMommy, what happened to you just now? Did you think of something sad?â
He noticed Arissa wiping the tears off her eyes.
Arissa cleared her throat awkwardly. âI was just touched by how delicious the food was!â
The six children were stumped.
Without explaining any further, Arissa quickly finished her food and went to Maryâs ward to accompany her.
Meanwhile, the children continued to finish their snacks in the break room.
Tim suddenly asked in a low voice, âIs Ms. York reacting that way because of me?â
She was also crying when she was asleep.
Gavin was stunned by how sensitive Tim was and quickly comforted him, âDonât overthink it. It might well be because of something else.â
âThatâs right. It might not necessarily be because of you,â Zachary reassured him too.
When the other three children saw Tim lowering his head, they, too, consoled him immediately.
âTim, do you feel pressured? Didnât Mommy say just now that it was because of the delicious food?â
âDonât lie to me. Ms. York was crying in her sleep, for she feels that she has failed me,â Tim explained.
Gavin and the others were shocked.
âMommy was crying in her sleep?â
When he saw the surprised and sympathetic looks on their faces, Tim nodded his head.
As if he had done something wrong, he tucked his head in and explained apologetically, âI did comfort her, but she didnât hear me because she was in deep sleep. She did stop after crying for a long while.â
When Timâs siblings saw how sorry he was and that he was blaming himself, their hearts went out to him.
Gavin tousled his hair. âTim, Mommy just felt bad for your sake. She feels that way because of her love for you. In fact, she reacted the exact same way when she first found me. She didnât dare speak loudly and felt that she had let me down. All she felt like doing was treat me better. Even then, she would cry while we werenât looking.â
Tim widened his eyes and asked in surprise, âShe was like that with you too?â
âThatâs right.â
After a brief hesitation, Gavin continued, âBack then, I was even abused by that wicked lady. When Mommy found out, her heart ached so much that she shed tears over it.â
Upon hearing Gavinâs words, Tim hid his hands, for he didnât want Arissa to see scars and feel sad over them.
âAs Mommy blames herself for losing us, she canât help but feel that she has let us down. Therefore, you shouldnât feel any pressure from her response, as thatâs a testament to how much she loves us.â
Nodding in agreement, Zachary added, âTim, Mommy loves us a lot and has never forgotten to look for both of you. When she took us overseas back in the day, she was grievously injured. Also, after she gave birth to us, she didnât have the opportunity to recover properly, causing more damage to her health.â
âIn fact, we largely spent the first few years of our lives in the hospital. It would either be her or one of us that needs to be warded. Due to how taxing it was for her to care for us, she didnât manage to come back and find you so soon. Nevertheless, she had instructed Mr. Hinton to search for you in secret.
âShe didnât tell us that we still had two more brothers. Instead, she would always cry alone and shoulder the pain alone. Back then, we assumed that she was devastated over being dumped. It was only now that we realize it was because of both of you.â
When Gavin and Tim heard the story, both of them could feel their heartache.
It turns out that Mommy didnât forget us at all. Also, she has really been through a lot.
Tim asked in concern, âIn that case, are all of you feeling better already?â
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 539 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You âMmm-hmm, all of us are fine. But due to Mommy suffering from the side effects of her sickness, she canât get too emotional.â
Zachary let out a sigh. âThis time, Mommy even fainted a couple of times from sad news. Tim, stop blaming yourself or Mommy, all right? It was a villain who separated us. Or else, Mommy wouldnât be suffering from the side effects still.â
âI donât blame her at all!â Danny murmured.
Zacharyâs eyes lit up, while the rest of the children were delighted by what they heard.
âReally?â
