Chapter 558 Too Spoilt Tim looked at the woman. âReally?â
âYup. Mr. Bailey and his team will take a close look at your grandmaâs condition and find out the best way to treat her. When that happens, sheâll slowly get better, and she wonât be as sick as she is now,â Arissa assured patiently, hoping to make the boy feel better.
âThank you, Ms. York!â
Arissa couldnât resist his smile. âYouâre welcome. Itâs all thanks to your daddy. Heâs the one who brought together such a wonderful team of doctors!â
Tim turned in Benjaminâs direction. Despite answering a call, the latter kept his eyes on the mother and son.
âThank you, Mr. Graham!â
Benjamin nodded in response.
Arissa glanced at the man who had picked up the phone before turning away and carrying Tim back into the ward.
After eating dinner with Mary, she then had Benjamin take the six children back to the hotel to rest.
âLetâs head back and get some rest. Shaun and Kingsley will be here keeping watch.â
While speaking, Benjamin gave Shaun and Kingsley a glance.
Kingsley opened his mouth and wanted to disagree, but he ultimately kept his mouth shut.
Meanwhile, Shaun was Maryâs attending physician and had to stay either way, so he was amused to see how stumped Kingsley looked.
âYou can keep me company!â he exclaimed, patting his friend on the shoulder.
The latter merely shot him a glare.
âThereâs no need for that. You should all go home and rest. Thereâll be nurses to check on me, no?â
Mary didnât want to trouble them.
âItâs fine, Mary. Iâm always up late,â Kingsley urged nonchalantly. âBesides, I can also get some shuteye after youâve fallen asleep. Iâve looked after my grandfather, so Iâm kind of experienced!â
Then, he turned to Benjamin and Arissa. âYou can all head back.â
With that, Benjamin bid Mary goodbye before returning to the hotel with Arissa and the children.
That was Timâs first time being away from the old woman, and he stared out the window at the hospital while seated in the car.
Arissa patted his head as she saw that. âDonât worry. The doctors will do a far better job taking care of your grandma compared to us! She wouldnât be able to sleep if we were still there, anyway.â
Hearing that, Tim bit his lip, still unable to stop thinking about Mary.
âHave you never been apart from your grandma, Tim?â
Seeing how the boy looked close to tears, Zachary struck up a conversation in an attempt to distract him.
Tim nodded. âWeâve been apart before during the day, but never at night...â
He had to work for money during the day while still in the village, so being apart from Mary was only necessary.
âWhy donât you think of now as daytime, then?â Oliver suggested.
âWhy did you have to be apart during the day?â Jasper asked.
Tim pursed his lips, choosing not to tell them the reason.
âDonât worry, Tim. Iâve been apart from Mommy before too, but I wasnât scared because all my brothers kept me company. So even if youâre not with your grandma now, you still have us. Weâre here with you, and so is Mommy!â Jesse assured while hugging Timâs arm.
Zachary couldnât help but chuckle. âJesse, have you forgotten how you cried this morning just because you couldnât find Mommy?â
The little girl turned scarlet immediately.
âYou cried because Mommy wasnât around?â Gavin felt sorry for his sister.
Jesse lowered her head and glanced at Gavin sheepishly.
âI-I just wasnât used to not having Mommy around...â
Unable to contain her laughter, Arissa stroked the girlâs head lovingly.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 557 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You Benjamin gazed at the mother and her six children before focusing on Jesseâs flushed face.
This kid is way too spoilt.
Still, he couldnât help but feel guilty upon hearing that the girl had cried because of Arissaâs absence this morning. It was his fault.
The man also used to treat her poorly before learning that Gavin was not his only child. He even accused the other children of not belonging to him.
âYouâll always be with your mommy from now on,â Benjamin declared to the children.
