Chapter 692 Eat Whatever Mommy Gives
Arissa’s gaze fell on the bodyguards. “Do you guys want some snacks, too?” she offered. “We’re good, Ms. York.
Thank you!” they replied modestly.
The woman merely smiled and shared her snacks with them. “Eat up. You don’t have to be so cautious when
Benjamin isn’t around. There’s also no need to keep standing up, you know? You can always take a seat.”
“Thank you, Ms. York.”
The men were stunned to be treated kindly, but they still dared not sit down.
Punishment would be inevitable if Benjamin came over and saw them slacking off.
“You’re welcome! You guys are always working so hard,” Arissa remarked. “It’s fine to take it a little easier when
Benjamin isn’t around.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
The guards nodded, then glanced at Gavin instinctively.
The boy looked at them. “You have to eat whatever my mommy gives you.”
There was a hint of dominance in his voice.
Arissa was tickled to hear that. “There’s no need to hold back. Eat up!”

She then had Gavin bring more snacks from Shaun’s office. “Get some fruits too.”
“Okay!” The boy nodded and began to run back to Shaun’s office.
“I’ll go with you!” Tim chirped.
Gavin waited for him to make his way over. When the latter did, he held his hand and trotted away together.
At that sight, Arissa’s lips quirked.
Suddenly, she heard a commotion from inside the ward, so she rushed inside.
There were glass shards on the floor. At that moment, Mary was sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Don’t come down, Grandaunt! Wait right there.”
Arissa hastily grabbed a broom and began to sweep up the broken glass pieces.
“I knocked into the glass by accident. Be careful, Issa. Don’t hurt yourself!”
The elderly woman looked extremely apologetic.
“It’s no problem at all. Everything will be okay after I’m done cleaning up. Don’t come down yet,” Arissa reassured.
After cleaning the large shards, she wet a towel and wiped the floor with it, one small area at a time.
Then, she exited the ward and asked a bodyguard to buy some clear duct tape.
At the same time, Gavin, Tim, and Zachary came over with food and were about to head into the ward upon seeing
that Mary had woken up.
“Don’t come in, Sweethearts! Wait outside for now. A glass got broken just now, and I’m still cleaning it up,” Arissa
said to them.
“Okay, Mommy!” Zachary replied while turning to his two older brothers.
“Let’s wait out here.”
“You have to be careful as well, Mommy,” Gavin urged.
“I will.”
Arissa walked back into the ward and asked, “What were you planning to do, Grandaunt?”
Leaning against the door, Tim peeked into the room.
The boy was feeling a lot happier after seeing Mary.
“I wanted to go to the restroom,” the elderly woman answered.
“Come down from the other side. There are still some glass shards over here,” Arissa instructed while pushing a
wheelchair over.
After Mary turned the other way, she helped her down.
“Be careful.”
“Okay, I’m ready,” said Mary upon taking a seat on the wheelchair.
Arissa took her to the restroom while holding on to the latter’s IV bag.

By the time Mary came out of the restroom, the bodyguard had returned with a roll of duct tape.
“Give it to me.”
Arissa took the duct tape and stuck it to the floor, using it to pick up the remaining glass shards.
Seeing that, the bodyguard ran up to help. “Let me do it, Ms. York. Have a seat over there.”
“Be careful,” the woman urged when she saw him squat on the floor to pick up the glass shards.
“Yes, ma’am.”
After sticking every inch of the floor with duct tape and ascertaining there were no more glass pieces, he cleaned
the entire area with a vacuum.
Meanwhile, Arissa tended to the elderly woman on the bed. “Give your face a wipe, Grandaunt.”
“Okay.”
Mary took the towel from her and wiped her face with it, feeling more refreshed instantly.
“When did you come over, Issa?”
“About half an hour after you fell asleep, according to the kids. Are you feeling better today?”
Mary smiled and nodded. “I am.”
“Did you sleep well last night?” Arissa asked in concern.
