You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 533

Tim had always felt sorry for himself because he thought his parents had abandoned him.

But the truth was, it was all a misunderstanding. The little guy also felt guilty for the way he treated them.

I don't blame Daddy and Mommy anymore.

Tim sniffed, with beads of tears caught on his lashes. He nodded in Mary's embrace and whispered, "Ms. York is a very nice lady. She loves me very much!"

Mary responded with a delightful smile. "Yes. I've never come across a woman as perfect as your mommy. She took great care of me and has never complained about how dirty and troublesome I was. If she could treat an outsider with such kindness, I'm sure she loves you with all her heart because you're her precious baby!"

Even nurses paid to look after the patients are not as meticulous as Ms. York!

"Ms. York is a nice lady!" Tim nodded admittedly.

Mary stroked the back of his head and gave him a doubtful look. "Ms. York? Your mom will feel sad if she hears that. You should start calling her mommy!"

Tim pressed his lips. He still could not bring himself to call Arissa his mommy.

Mary decided not to force him as she knew the boy needed some time to process his thoughts. But she believed he would do the right thing.

Mary wiped away his tears with her fingers. "Don't cry anymore, okay? Mommy will be upset, too, if she sees you crying!"

Tim also wiped away the tears and snot on his face.

Mary gently pulled his hand to stop him. "Go and get yourself a piece of tissue!"

Tim sniffled and got down from the bed. When he was about to retrieve tissues from the box on the table, someone gave him a few pieces from behind.

Tim tilted his head and blushed when he saw Shaun smiling at him.

"I didn't hear a word you said!" After passing the tissues to Tim, Shaun turned around and stepped out of the ward. "I'm going to give Kingsley a call!"

Kingsley? Who's Kingsley?

Tim glanced at Shaun before wiping the snot and the tears with the tissues he gave.

"Come and take a short nap, Tim!" Mary said.

"No thanks, Grandma. Go ahead and take a rest, okay? I'll keep an eye on your IV drip."

Mary reminded the little boy, "Don't run around, okay?"

"Okay!" Tim nodded.

When Shaun was about to call Kingsley to kill time, he saw Benjamin walking over with Gavin and the others.

"Why are you so early?"

"They all wanted to come!"

Benjamin took a sidelong glance at the five children, who had just taken a thirty-minute nap.

Gavin rolled his eyes. "Don't blame us when you yourself wanted to come. We can always come without you!”

"Yeah!" Zachary echoed. He then gestured for his other siblings to go and look for Tim.

"I wonder if Mommy and Tim are up."

"Tim is awake and is now in Mdm. Mary's ward. I think your Mommy is still asleep!" Shaun said to the little ones.

"Let's go and look for Tim then!" All five children ran toward the ward.

Benjamin reminded them, "Make sure all of you don't disturb Mdm. Mary!"

The children entered the ward without giving him a response.

"How is Mdm. Mary's test results?" Benjamin turned to Shaun and asked.

"We have yet to receive her blood test results from the lab."

"How about her other tests?"

"Mdm. Mary has the three highs. She's suffering from gynecological inflammation, and her heart and lungs are not functioning well. Oh, she also has kidney stones. We'll need to schedule an appointment with the doctor to have them removed."

"Are these conditions serious?" Benjamin frowned upon hearing all the medical issues.

"These are not severe problems on a case-by-case basis, but since Mdm. Mary is suffering from all these conditions all at once, the doctors might have a hard time prescribing the right medicines for her," Shaun explained.

"Let's start with the most severe problem first then," Benjamin responded in a deep voice.

Shaun nodded. "It would be much easier for the doctors to customize a treatment for her if there are no issues with her blood."

Benjamin looked in the ward's direction and asked, "Is Mdm. Mary ready to return to Dellmoor?"

"I've given her an injection. She can leave in two days when she feels better."

All the health problems that had plagued Mary had taken a toll on her general well-being. Even a young person might not be able to endure the pain that she, an elderly woman, was going through.

Benjamin nodded and left for the lounge.
