Chapter 844 Eating And Waiting For Mary
Arissa was about to put her bowl of soup down to check on Mary, but Benjamin stopped her. “Sit. I’ll go.” He walked over to the side of the bed and said in a gentle, caring voice, “Grandaunt, are you feeling okay?”
“Just a little tired,” Mary replied with a smile after she saw them in her ward. Her waist didn’t hurt anymore after the surgery. Arissa approached her and said as she leaned forward, “Grandaunt, would you like to eat something before you continue sleeping?”
Grinning, Mary replied as she gestured for them to carry on eating. “It’s all right. You should continue eating. I’ll rest for a while longer.”
She had just woken up, so she didn’t have much appetite. Arissa nodded and tucked Mary’s blanket. Meanwhile, Benjamin pressed the call button to get a doctor to check on Mary.
Kingsley walked over to Mary and greeted her too. The old woman was touched that everyone was there to visit her. “Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Eat!”
Arissa smiled. “We’re already full. When you were in the operation room, Old Mr. Graham and the others came to visit, and they even prepared some soup for you after they went home. You should drink some later.”
“Old Mr. Graham came too?”
Mary didn’t know what to say. She was really touched because they were too kind to her.
“Yeah. He came with William.”
Arissa observed Mary and thought the latter’s complexion looked much better than before.
At that time, Shaun had arrived with a few other specialists, and Edwin followed behind them.
Benjamin pulled Arissa over to the side so that the doctors could check on Mary.
After some time, Shaun announced, “Mdm. Mary’s condition is very stable! She can eat something later but not too much! Once she gets hungry again, she can eat a little more.”
“Got it. Thank you!” Arissa answered and thanked the doctors with a smile.
“You’re welcome, Mrs. Graham! Please get more rest, Mdm. Mary,” the doctors said before turning to leave.
Shaun looked at them. “I’m going back to continue my meal.”
He hadn’t finished his meal yet.
“Okay.” Benjamin nodded.
“I’ll come with you!” Immediately, Kingsley took some food and chased after Shaun.
Everyone laughed at the scene.
Arissa adjusted the angle of the hospital bed, and Edwin helped too.
“Edwin, you should go back. I can do this myself.”
Since Arissa was there, she could handle it herself.
“Okay!”
Edwin put a small table on the bed before he turned to tidy up the tableware on the coffee table.
At the same time, Benjamin took the soup container and poured a bowl of soup for Mary before placing it on the small table. “Grandaunt, have some soup first.”
Mary nodded and looked at them. “Okay, sure! You two should carry on with your work! I’m okay now. You don’t have to watch over me now. Besides, the caregiver is here too, so you don’t have to worry about me!”
Arissa blew on the soup to cool it off before feeding Mary some.
“No, Grandaunt. I’m staying here today to keep you company. I’ll go back to work once you’ve recovered even more.”
“Aw! What do I do about you?” she said to Arissa while shaking her head. After that, she turned to Benjamin and continued, “Benjamin, you should get back to work!”
Benjamin nodded. “Okay. I’m going back to the office a while later. Don’t worry about us, Grandaunt. Have some soup.”
Edwin walked over to them after tidying up the coffee table and said to Arissa, who was feeding Mary, “Mrs. Graham, I’ll do it. You should rest.”
“No, no. I’ll do it myself. Edwin, you should go back and have your lunch!” Arissa insisted while smiling, refusing to let him help.
“Edwin hasn’t eaten yet? Edwin, why don’t you eat together with me? I can’t finish all these by myself either,” Mary said, a little embarrassed.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about me. I already ate something before coming here. I’ll eat when I get back. The help from Old Manor specially made this soup for you, so you should drink more. It helps to energize your body. If you can’t finish it in one go, you can keep it in the thermal container and drink it later in the afternoon or night!” Edwin said warmly.
