Chapter 693 We Are A Family âYes. I slept much more comfortably after getting my mattress changed.â Arissa grinned. âI wasnât used to soft mattresses either back then. I wanted to come here with you this morning, but I overslept, and the kids didnât wake me up either!â
Mary did not mind it.
âYouâve been working so hard these days, so you should get more rest. Donât push yourself. Everythingâs just as fine if itâs Benjamin and the others bringing me here. Theyâve taken care of everything,â she reassured after hearing Arissaâs explanation.
The younger woman nodded in response.
âCan we come in now, Ms. York?â asked Tim.
He wanted to speak to Mary.
âCome on in, but be careful.â
The woman walked over and let the three children in. âAre Oliver and the others at Mr. Baileyâs office?â
âYeah. Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse are there. Mr. Whitley is with them too,â Zachary reported.
Arissa nodded. She did not have to worry as long as the other kids were there.
Then, she poured Mary a glass of water and placed a straw inside the glass so that the latter could drink it with ease.
âDoes your hand hurt, Great-grandaunt?â Tim asked worriedly, frowning as he leaned against the side of the bed.
âNot at all,â Mary replied with a smile.
Tim gazed at her. In the end, he still lowered his head to blow on her hand.
The elderly woman chuckled in response to his heartwarming gesture.
âHave some water, Grandaunt.â
Arissa held the glass in before Maryâs lips, and the latter lowered her head to drink water from it.
âIâve had enough, Issa. Take a seat!â
âOkay.â Arissa put the glass down and sat at the edge of the bed while pulling the covers up to Maryâs chest.
âBy the way, Issa, now that Iâm staying here, you donât have to spend all day tending to me. Just do whatever that you need to do, okay? The doctors and nurses here are really caring, so donât worry about me,â Mary remarked before glancing at Tim.
âTim and the other kids need to go to school too. Donât let them come over too often. It isnât good for children to be at hospitals.â
Arissa nodded. âIâll only be here today since I have to go to work tomorrow, and the kids will be going to school too. So after today, weâll only be able to drop by and see you during our free time,â she explained as her lips curved.
Mary beamed at her. âItâs okay even if you donât drop by. I can take care of myself.â
âYou might say that, but Iâd be worried if I donât come over. Iâll drop by with the kids after work. When weâre not around, you can watch some TV if you ever get bored. Thereâs one in every room.â
âOkay, I understand,â the elderly woman replied.
âListen to whatever the doctor says, okay, Great-grandaunt? You have to let Mr. Bailey know if you ever feel sick. Heâll be sure to treat you!â Gavin chimed in.
âOkay, I will.â
Suddenly, Arissa let out a gasp as she remembered something. The soup!
âI almost forgot! Benjamin got Edwin to make you some soup, Grandaunt. Have some. Itâs also almost time for you to have your meal.â
While speaking, she grabbed the container containing the soup, placed it on top of the bedside table, and served Mary a bowl.
âOh, but you really didnât have to!â
Mary was beyond touched.
Arissa grinned at her. âWhat are you being so courteous for? Weâre a family, arenât we?â
âIâm so lucky, indeed.â
The elderly woman had never expected herself to be cared for like this.
âHere. Be careful! Itâs hot.â

âThis is good for your body. Youâll be coming here often for treatment, so itâs important that you keep yourself well-nourished. Be sure to drink some before every meal.â
âOkay.â Mary nodded.
âIt smells so good!â Zachary took a big whiff.
Gavin nodded with a smile. The soup did smell amazing.
Tim secretly gulped.
âAre you boys hungry?â
Arissa gazed at them in amusement.
Mary could not help but chuckle too.
âThey can drink this too, right? Give them some. I canât finish everything on my own.â
She wanted to share the soup with them.
