You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 468

Tim dashed into the ward and asked Shaun, "Doctor, will my grandma get better?"

Shaun caressed Tim's head and tried to ease the boy's anxiousness.

"She will!"

Tim gazed at him for a moment. Then, he turned to the others before looking down.

"You can tell me the truth, Mister. It's okay," he said softly. "Will my grandma never wake up again?"

Shaun's chest tightened at the boy's words. He felt so much pity for him.

"She'll wake up," said Gavin as he took Tim's hand.

"Don't you worry," added Zachary while putting an arm around the boy. "Your grandma hasn't even gotten a check-up yet, so there's nothing Uncle Shaun can say for now."

"Don't be sad, okay? Uncle Shaun will make sure she gets better."

Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse came over to comfort Tim.

The latter was so touched that his nose stung.

Shaun knelt in front of him and stroked his head again.

"Don't think too much about it. Your grandma's in a bit of a complicated situation now. We're going to have to run some tests. I'll talk to you once we replace out what her illness is, okay?"

Tim blinked. His eyes were filled with concern.

"Your grandma's still unconscious because of the drip, but she'll wake up."

As he explained, Mary let out a mutter.

"Tim... Tim..."

"Grandma!"

The boy's eyes lit up as he rushed over to the bed and held Mary's hand.

Mary felt much better and assured after seeing him.

Then, she glanced around the room and froze upon spotting a few doctors as well as some strangers.

"What... am I about to die?"

Shaun and the other doctors exchanged glances before he walked up to her.

"I'm Shaun Bailey. Benjamin Graham told me to tend to you. I just arrived to give you a check-up. Don't put too much thought into all this. All you have to do is follow the treatment."

Mary remained perplexed. "Benjamin Graham? Who's that?"

Ethen stepped forward. "He's my boss. You've met him."

"You again!"

Mary's expression took a turn as she swiftly grabbed Tim's hand, afraid that he would be taken away.

"Don't get us wrong, ma'am! We're not bad guys," Ethen explained right away. "You're still unwell, so it's best that you stay here and receive treatment. Dr. Bailey is well-known in the medical field. Just let him know where it hurts, and he'll do whatever he can to treat you."

"He's not a bad guy, Grandma!" Tim hurriedly chimed in.

Mary stared at them in confusion. "Who are you guys, then?"

Ethen observed her expression.

"You've just woken up. You should eat something for now. I'll explain everything later."

"Grandma!"

Ethen went to get some oatmeal porridge that he had prepared earlier.

"Give her some water before that. She just woke up," reminded Shaun before he began to examine Mary.

"Is my grandma okay?" Tim stared at him worriedly.

"She's fine," answered Shaun.

Gavin walked over with a glass of warm water.

"Here! Have some water."

Mary's eyes widened as soon as she saw him.

"You..."

She then turned to Tim. Upon realizing that he was still there, she glanced at Gavin again before finally confirming that they were two different boys.

They both look so much alike.

Could it be...

"Hi, Grandma. My name's Gavin Graham. Nice to meet you!"

Gavin politely introduced himself to Mary.

"Hello," the old woman replied in a daze.

Then, she turned to Tim and whispered, "What's going on?"

This boy looks so much like Tim. Could they be his family?

With pursed lips, Tim took the glass of water from Gavin and gave it to Mary.

"Drink up, Grandma. We'll explain everything soon."

"Thank you." Mary nodded and sat up.

Shaun helped raise the bed before signaling the other doctors to head outside and discuss Mary's condition.
