Not long after, Arissa finished washing up and exited the restroom. Seeing the children were not around, she glanced at Benjamin. "You didn't tell Gavin and the others to come over?"

Benjamin cast a glance at her, lifted his cup and took a sip of coffee. "No."

Arissa shot the elegant-looking man a glare, her lips twitching.

She then turned around, wanting to go get the children. When she arrived at the door, she retreated, took some food for Mary, and left for the room next door.

"Sweethearts, go to the lounge next door to have some food. Your daddy is there." She beckoned for the children to go over. Then, she sat beside Mary's bed and said, "Here. Have some, Mdm. Mary."

"Oh, I'm not hungry. You can have it." Mary lay in the bed, as she was not done with her injections.

"Please have some. Your injections take up energy fast," Arissa coaxed Mary.

"Put it aside first. I want to go to the restroom."

Hearing that, Arissa quickly helped Mary up.

Tim came over to help as well. "Be careful, Grandma!"

"Okay!" Mary stood up, stumbling slightly.

After helping her to sit in the wheelchair, Arissa brought the IV drip over.

She held it with one hand, while using the other to push Mary to the restroom.

"Sweetheart, hurry up and go over to have something to eat. I can handle this on my own." She turned around and spoke to Tim, who stared at her before saying softly, "I want to wait for Grandma to come out first."

Arissa smiled, not bothering to make him leave anymore. I'll just bring him over later.

She helped Mary into the restroom, while Tim helped to shut the door.

“It's okay, Issa. I can do it on my own. You can go out." Mary stood up carefully, and Arissa helped her to sit on the toilet bowl. "I'll wait for you," said the latter.

Mary turned to her. "I might need to take a dump. It's better if you go out."

Arissa nodded and reminded Mary, "Watch out for the IV drip. Don't raise your arm too high up. Call for me when you're done, okay?"

"Okay. Go out now, quickly," Mary urged gently.

When Arissa stepped out of the restroom, she saw Tim still standing in front of the door. She pulled him aside and asked, "Why didn't you sleep for a little longer?"

"I did and I'm awake now." Tim studied her, noticing her eyes were slightly puffed. After some time, he said, "Ms. York, I'll get you a warm towel for your eyes."

"Huh?" Arissa gave him a puzzled look.

Tim tapped his eyelid. "Yours eyes are puffed up."

Stunned, Arissa took out her phone to look at herself. True enough, her eyelids were indeed swollen. No wonder I kept getting the feeling that something was blocking my view. What's wrong with my eyelids? Why do I look like I've been crying?

"Haha! Maybe I drank too much water," Arissa said, feeling embarrassed.

Tim pursed his lips. He did not dare to tell her that was caused by crying.

Arissa patted his head. "Go on and have something to eat. Daddy and the others are in the room next door."

Right then, Gavin dashed into the room. "Mommy, Daddy is calling for you and Tim to go over and eat."

"Okay. I'll be over in a while. Bring Tim over first." Arissa gave Tim a gentle push.

Gavin went over and tugged at Tim. "Let's go and eat. If not, the others are going to finish the food."

As Tim was being pulled out, he said, "Grandma-"

"We'll come over and keep Grandma company later. Mommy is here to keep her company now, isn't she?" Gavin pulled Tim out of the room.

Meanwhile, Arissa continued waiting for Mary in the ward. When Arissa heard the sound of flushing in the restroom, she stood up and went to the door. "Mary, are you done?"

"Not yet."

Hearing that, Arissa went to arrange the bedsheets and tidy up the area.

When the nurse entered and saw what Arissa was doing, the former quickly stepped forward to take over the job. "Mrs. Graham, let me do it."

Arissa rubbed her nose. How did Ethen introduce me to the nurses? Why are they also calling me Mrs. Graham now?'

"Arissa!" A men's voice could be heard shouting by the door.

"Huh?" She turned to look over, only to make eye contact with Benjamin's frustrated gaze.

"Come here!" he said.

Dumbfounded, Arissa walked over. "What is it?"
