Chapter 851 Be Late
“I think we should still head upstairs, Great-grandaunt. You should lie down more!” Worry
was scribbled on Zachary’s face. Oliver and Jesse nodded. “You’ll feel better if you lie
down. Let’s go upstairs.”
“Go on upstairs, Great-grandaunt. We won’t play anymore. Once you get better, we’ll
bring you down here again and have fun together! We can even tour around Dellmoor!”
Gavin advised.
Tim, too, nodded. “You should listen to them, Great-grandaunt. Let’s head upstairs and
rest.” “All right, all right. Let’s head upstairs!” With a smile, Mary nodded, not wanting to
let the children worry.
Turning to Arissa, she said, “Let’s go, Issa!” With a nod, Arissa smiled and led Mary back to
her ward. “Come on, kids!” All six children followed behind.
“Slow down, Mommy. Don’t push it too fast or Great-grandaunt will feel uncomfortable!”
one of them suggested. “Okay!” Arissa replied with a smile before slowing her speed
down.

Upon smiling, Mary comforted the children. “You guys don’t have to be so apprehensive.
Don’t you see I’m doing well right now?”
The children still stared at her with concern. “In that case, if you’re feeling uncomfortable,
Great-grandaunt, you must quickly let us know! You can let Mommy or Mr. Bailey know
too!”
The old woman was pleased to hear the concern in the children’s voices. “Okay.”
After they all returned to her ward, the children helped her lie on the bed.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere, Grandaunt?” Arissa asked caringly as she
tucked Mary in.
“I’m feeling fine. You and the kids don’t have to worry about me. I feel recharged after
taking a stroll downstairs!” The old woman smiled and waved her hand, non-verbally
asking Arissa to rest, too.
The children surrounded the bed and stared at Mary.
“Rest well, Great-grandaunt!” Gavin said.
She nodded. “You all should rest too!”
As they spoke, Shaun dropped by and gave Mary a checkup. “Is it okay if I give you an
injection right now, Mdm. Mary?”
“Sure! Go ahead.” Mary nodded cooperatively.
When he saw Arissa and the children staring at the old woman worryingly, he smiled. “You
all should sit at the side. Mdm. Mary is doing fine. It’s beneficial for the patient’s recovery
if they spend time taking strolls from time to time.”
Arissa grinned. “I understand that, but I still can’t help but worry.”
Shaun nodded, grabbed the needle, and gave the old woman an injection.
As for the children, they used the kettle inside the ward to boil her an egg. They then
rubbed the egg on the needle bruise on the back of Mary’s other hand.
The kind gesture made the elderly woman feel very touched. The smile on her wrinkled
face remained for a long time.
Seeing how diligent the children were, Arissa watched from the side and let them do their
thing.

She answered, “Hello?”
“Have you gone to pick up the children?” he asked.
“Yes. We’re at Grandaunt’s place right now.” With a grin, she watched as the children kept
Mary company.
“Okay. I still have work I need to take care of here, so I’ll be there late!” Benjamin
informed.
“No need to rush. If they get hungry, I’ll buy something for them to eat. When I picked
them up, I asked them if they’d eaten, and they told me they ate some snacks in school
during the afternoon, so they aren’t hungry yet.”
“All right, then. Don’t just take care of the children. If you’re hungry, you should eat
something too. I’ll be there once I wrap up my matters.”
“Got it. You should get back to work. I’m hanging up now!” Arissa smiled.
“Okay.”
After the call ended, she washed some fruits and asked the children to eat them.
She also brought food that Mary could eat and fed the old woman while sitting next to the
bed.
