Chapter 591 Arissa Secretly Investigates Raphael
“Ms. York, you should go get some rest too. Mr. Frank said that you haven’t had any rest since morning!” Tim proposed.
Deep down, he was worried that Arissa would continue to dwell on the previous topic.
“Issa, is that true? In that case, you should get some rest. Don’t wear yourself out!” Mary looked at Arissa with concern.
“Since it’s already past afternoon, I don’t feel tired now. Grandaunt, do you want to try some bananas?”
With that, Arissa peeled a banana for Mary.
“Sure!”
Mary took it but immediately handed it over to Tim.
Meanwhile, Tim kept shifting his gaze from Mary to Arissa.
Seconds later, he couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. York, why did you call her Grandaunt?”
Arissa caressed Tim’s hair upon hearing it. “Well, she is my grandaunt now.”
While Tim looked at Mary shockingly, Mary nodded and said with a grin, “That’s true.”
The next moment, Tim’s eyes glinted with delight.
“Who is your grandaunt?” Just then, Jasper’s voice sounded.
At the same time, Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jesse also heard it and looked at them curiously.
“Ms. York calls Grandma Grandaunt!” Tim exclaimed while Arissa and Mary smiled.
Arissa waved at the kids and said, “Sweethearts, come here and greet your Great-grandaunt!”
“Hi, Great-grandaunt!” Gavin said in a sweet voice.
The next moment, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse followed suit.
“Hi, Great-grandaunt!”
“Hi all!” Mary was touched.
Gavin turned to Tim and said, “Tim, you should address Mary as Great-grandaunt like us!”
Tim looked at Gavin for a while before turning his gaze to Mary.
Mary smiled at Tim in response.
Deep down, Mary didn’t mind if Tim addressed her as his great-grandaunt like other kids.
Arissa caressed Tim’s head and said, “Well, you can still address Mary as Grandma if you like.”
After gazing at Tim for a while, Tim suddenly said, “Great-grandaunt!”
“Good boy!”
Feeling overjoyed, Mary looked at the six kids lovingly.
“Try some bananas!”
“Thank you, Great-grandaunt!” The kids replied and grabbed the fruits on the plate.
Arissa peeled another banana for Mary and said, “Grandaunt, you should eat more bananas. They are good for your health and rich in fiber.”
“Sure.”
Perhaps because Mary was delighted, she had a good appetite and enjoyed the fruits with the six kids.
As Mary began telling stories to the kids, Arissa silently left the room.
“Bradley, please investigate Mary’s son. Also, find out what the villagers think about him. Be careful not to expose your identity.”
“Sure. I’ll do it right now!”
With that, Bradley turned around to work on it.
Later, Arissa wanted to see Benjamin but didn’t enter the room because he was in the middle of a meeting.
When Shaun and a few doctors headed toward Mary’s ward, Arissa decided to join them.
The doctors checked Mary over and injected an IV drip on her arm.
Noticing that Arissa seemed worried, Shaun came up to her to explain Mary’s condition.
“We inject an IV drip for Mdm. Mary to control her blood sugar level. The result is not bad and better than yesterday.”
Arissa heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing it. “Thank you so much!”
“Don’t mention it, Arissa. We’re indebted to Mdm. Mary for raising Tim. Hence, we should help cure her illness.”
Mary could hear their conversation. After a while, she gazed at them and said, “Thank you so much. I know you haven’t gotten enough rest because of treating my illness.”
“No worries. We’re used to working for several days without much rest. Sometimes, we even have to perform surgery for patients for dozens of hours straight! Our exhaustion means nothing as long as we can cure your illness!” Shaun consoled Mary in a friendly tone.
In the meantime, Mary felt touched because they didn’t disdain her for being a country bumpkin.
Before this, Mary had never encountered anyone who was kind-hearted enough to treat her like a family member.
