Chapter 695 We Still Want To Keep You Company Edwin nodded as he observed Mary. She looks well. âMr. Graham told me to make this soup as a tonic for you. Drink more of it. In fact, drink it whenever you feel hungry, even if itâs not time for your meals. It helps to energize your body.â
âI will. Sorry for the trouble!â Mary responded politely. âNot at all. I make this all the time. It doesnât take much effort.â Edwin smiled.
âPlease make more the next time so that they can have some too, Edwin,â Arissa requested.
âSure. Iâll make a bigger batch tomorrow. This soup is good for children too since theyâre growing.â
The butler chuckled as he gazed at the children lovingly.
âYou can have some too, Mrs. Graham.â
Arissa beamed in response. âItâs okay. Iâm not hungry.â
Then, Edwin glanced at the time. It was past eleven, which meant it would be lunchtime soon.
âWill you be having lunch at home or outside, Mrs. Graham?â
âIâll just eat here at the hospital.â
âVery well. Iâll go to the kitchen and have the staff prepare the meal. What do you feel like having?â
Arissa was tickled. âJust get me anything since weâre eating outside of the house, Edwin. You can put more care into my meals when weâre at home.
Right now, just do whatever thatâs convenient!â
âThat canât do. You should be eating whatever you feel like eating!â the man insisted light-heartedly.
He then asked Mary what she wanted to eat.
The elderly woman told him she would have anything he got her.
âYou can order food at the hospital, Mr. Whitley?â
Jesse gazed up at him, full of curiosity.
âCertainly!â answered Edwin as he turned to the six children. âWhat do you all feel like having?â
Zachary grinned. âHow about we come with you?â
Thereâs also food at the hospital cafeteria.
âSure! Iâll wait for you.â
Edwin then sat in a corner and waited for the children to finish their soup.
Seeing that, the children finished it as quickly as possible.
âHurry up, Tim! Weâll be following Mr. Whitley!â
Jasper was exhilarated, although the food was not what he looked forward to most. He just wanted to take a stroll.
âIâll just have whatever Mr. Whitley gets me. I donât have to go,â Tim commented sheepishly.
âDonât say that, Tim! Weâll be taking a stroll while checking out the food!â
Jasper beamed at him.
âLetâs go together,â Zachary chimed in.
âLetâs head out together. We wonât be out too long,â Gavin added.
âRun along now,â Arissa urged with a smile.
Then, she washed some fruits for Mary.
âWhy all the trouble? Iâll just have a quick hospital meal set. The rest of you should eat somewhere else, then go home and rest,â Mary proposed.
âBut we still want to keep you company,â Arissa responded cheerfully. âIn fact, I wouldâve prepared you a meal before coming over if I hadnât overslept.â
âThatâs too troublesome.â Mary shook her head.
Arissa merely smiled and placed the clean fruits on the bedside table.
After the children finished their soup, Edwin cleaned up and took them to the hospital cafeteria.
Meanwhile, Arissa continued to chat with Mary.

âArenât you eating with us, Mr. Bailey? Edwinâs gone to get some food.â
âI canât. Iâm going to the cafeteria for lunch now. I have a meeting at one,â he replied with a smile.
If not for the meeting, he would have taken her up on her offer.
Arissa nodded in understanding. âOkay, go on then. Weâll be having our lunch later than you.â
As soon as Shaun left, Edwin returned with the childrenâall of whom had a sausage in their hands.
They had gotten Arissa one too.
âThis is for you, Ms. York!â
The children had Tim give it to her, and she took it merrily.
âThank you, Sweetheart!â
âMr. Whitley bought these for us,â Tim explained, glancing at Edwin.
Arissa turned to him too. âIâll get Benjamin to give you a pay raise tonight, Edwin,â she quipped.
Edwin let out a chuckle.
âThat would be nice, although treating the children to some snacks isnât going to burn a hole in my wallet!â
