Chapter 590 Tim Is Visibly Nervous âI didnât have the money to support his studies. Besides, he saved all money that he earned for my treatment instead of going to school...â
Feeling heartbroken, Mary lowered her head and wiped her tears away.
âTim has suffered a lot with us. Hence, I think itâs best to let him go to school. If he delays his studies any longer, Iâm worried he canât catch up with others. Okay, Iâll go to Dellmoor with you...â
Arissa was delighted upon hearing it. âWell, weâll tie you up to bring you back even if you refuse. I let you know earlier on so that you could be mentally prepared!â
Mary almost burst into laughter. âYou silly goose!â
âIâll treat you as my family member and youâll be my grandaunt from now on!â
Feeling touched by Arissaâs sincerity, Mary nodded non-stop. âSure, Iâm glad youâre willing to accept me.â
âWell, itâs our good fortune to meet a kind-hearted woman like you!â
Wrapping her arm around Maryâs, Arissa continued to coax Mary to put her mind at ease.
âGrandaunt, you can stay with us after youâve recovered. Besides, weâre always busy working and donât have enough time to take care of the kids.
Hence, weâll be glad if you can help us. If you canât get used to living in Dellmoor, feel free to come home for some time before returning to the city.â
After a while, Arissa added, âWe can bring our kids here during the holidays. By the way, Iâve bought the house but rarely stay here. If you donât mind, can you occasionally clean the house for us when youâre here?â
âSure!â Mary nodded with a beam.
âGrandaunt, Tim learned a lot by working on the farm with you. He is lucky to have met you. I canât imagine what will happen to him if he is sold by a human trafficker and tortured by others in another country. Hence, Iâm grateful that heâs in good shape.â
Arissa added, âBesides, Tim has lived a better life than that of other kids from poor villages. I grew up in a village when I was young. Despite being poor, Tim has learned to be more understanding than other kids. Am I right?â
âYes, Tim is a considerate child. After James passed away, I fell sick and couldnât work much. Since then, Tim has helped me with nearly everything.
My useless son never cared about us. All the more so, he even asked for money and snatched Timâs hard-earned money...â
Mary was irritated and heartbroken when she recalled how Raphael treated them as though they were his enemies.
Arissa was shocked upon realizing that Raphael wasnât as good as Tim described.
Tim used to tell me that Raphael is in the police station... It canât be that...
At that moment, Arissa felt like asking Mary why Raphael would be in the police station.
Nonetheless, Arissa eventually bit her tongue when she noticed that Mary was emotional. Moreover, she wasnât sure if Mary knew about it.
Then, Arissa patted Maryâs back and consoled her. âGrandaunt, please donât get worked up over this. We wonât let you live a life like that anymore.â
âThank you! Thank you!â Mary was beyond grateful.
âMy son is useless. Please donât get in touch with him, for he might disturb you from time to time. Also, donât give him money for Timâs sake...â
âGrandma!â
Just then, Tim came in. He was seemingly a little nervous after overhearing their conversation about Raphael.
âWhat are you guys talking about?â
Caressing Timâs head, Mary replied, âWeâre talking about you!â
Tim anxiously glanced at Arissa. Is Mommy aware that I have been toiling on the farm and beaten by Raphael?
Noticing that Tim fidgeted, Arissa squatted down and held his shoulder.
âDo you have any secret that you canât tell me?â
Biting his lips, Tim gazed at Arissa silently for a while.
Seconds later, Tim turned to Mary and said, âGrandma, please donât talk too much because you have to rest more!â
While Tim shot her a worried look, Mary replied with a smile, âI didnât talk much!â
With that, Mary kept silent.
Arissa was aware that she didnât know a lot of things about Tim. Therefore, she didnât dwell on Raphael but decided to take some time to find out what Tim had gone through.
