"How could you wrong me? I have never done it."

Finley was coughing fervently as though she was about to cough her lungs out.

"Mom, don't be agitated. I'm just asking."

Regan peered at Finley and stopped asking when she began coughing from anger.

He immediately patted her back to calm her breathing, thereby missing the guilt in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Arissa sneezed a couple of times in the hospital.

"Did you catch a cold, Issa?"

Mary looked at her with concern.

Arissa rubbed her nose and shook her head with a comforting smile.

"No, maybe someone is scolding me."

Mary chuckled. "Our Issa is such a great person. Who will scold you? They're probably just thinking of you."

Arissa laughed at her comment. There are many who will cuss at me. The whole York family is enough to make a line around the block.

"Issa, jokes aside. You have to take care of yourself and not catch a cold. It's cold, so take some medicine as prevention."

The air conditioner in the room was on full blast, not for the patient but for the equipment. They required a cold setting to operate well.

"Okay."

Arissa nodded. "Grandaunt, are you cold?"

"I'm not cold anymore."

Mary shook her head at Arissa and gestured at the blanket covering her.

Tim had run out of the room in search of Shaun to get some cold medication.

Gavin and Zachary both noticed his leaving but had no idea where and why he left, so they secretly followed him.

"Mr. Bailey!"

Tim soon arrived at Shaun's office.

"What's wrong, Tim?"

Shaun's expression turned dire, thinking something bad had happened to Mary. "Did something happen to Mdm. Mary?"

Tim shook his head. "No, it's Mommy."

Tim paused to catch his breath and swallow the lump in his throat. His pause had shocked Shaun and Kingsley.

"What's wrong with your mom?" Kingsley asked frantically.

"I think Ms. York has a bit of a cold. Can you prescribe something for her?"

Tim looked up at Shaun with an urgent look.

Shaun and Kingsley exchanged a glance. Shaun bent down to Tim's level and patted his shoulder.

"Calm down and tell me slowly. What symptoms does your mom have?"

Tim relayed everything he observed a while ago. "Great-grandaunt said Ms. York might have a cold. Ms. York has sneezed a few times too."

"Does she have a runny nose?"

Shaun ruffled Tim's head with amusement. He even knows how to care for others.

"No, she doesn't have a runny nose or cough."

Tim thought back at the symptoms when he had a cold and realized Arissa had none of it.

"Can you prescribe something for her? Just something as a preventive measure."

Shaun adoringly patted Tim's head. "Okay, wait here. I'll go take some medication."

"Thank you, Mr. Bailey," Tim thanked him politely.

'You're welcome."

Flashing a smile at Tim, Shaun whirled around and left his office to go grab some medication.

Spotting Gavin and Zachary outside, Shaun was about to ask for the reason they were there when the two gestured for him to stay silent.

After understanding what was happening, he headed over to the pharmacy with a smile.

Gavin and Zachary exchanged a glance before Zachary tugged Gavin to the sides.

After they put some distance from Shaun's office, Zachary said, "Tim is worried about Mommy."

"Yeah," Gavin agreed happily.

"Mommy will be so happy if Tim calls her Mommy."

Zachary nodded.

"He will. Tim had only been with us for a few days. He'll call her Mommy once he feels at home. You were the same before, calling Mommy only after you knew her better."

Gavin recalled his old self and giggled. "I was pretending to be Jasper then, so I called her Mommy pretty quickly."

Zachary laughed. "Were you shocked then?"

"Yeah, a little," Gavin admitted.

The two were immersed in their conversation, so they didn't notice Benjamin coming close.

"What are you guys hiding here and talking about? Where's your mom?"

Benjamin glanced at his two sons.

Gavin and Zachary looked up at him at the same time. "Mommy is with Great-grandaunt. I think she caught a cold."
