You More Than Anything In The World
Chapter 687

"Yeah! I think they're inflamed. When we get to the hospital later, we ought to have Mr. Bailey take a look at it. Let him treat it!" Edwin looked concerned.

"When I was upstairs just now, Benjamin had already applied some medication for me. It's just a minor wound. Don't worry about it!" Arissa reassured.

His eyes lit up. "Mrs. Graham, did you accompany Mr. Graham to have breakfast before you came down?"

For a moment there, Arissa was stunned by his question. That was because she was not paying attention earlier on.

Benjamin was already eating breakfast before that, so he should've finished it.

"Yes!" she answered.

Sensing her discomfiture, Edwin did not press on that matter.

However, he was elated. Mr. Graham asked Mrs. Graham to send him food. It seems like their relationship is getting better.

Due to Edwin's question, Arissa was too embarrassed to take off her sunglasses and only did so when they arrived at the hospital.

She also left her straw hat in the car.

"Wait up, Mrs. Graham!"

Edwin got out of the car first and helped her open the door. At that moment, he was holding something in his hands.

Arissa did not notice it prior to that, so she asked, "Edwin, what did you bring?"

"Oh! This is the soup Mr. Graham got me to make for Mdm. Mary. She should drink this before her meal!" he explained.

Arissa was touched. Benjamin is thoughtful, isn't he?

"Let me bring it upstairs for you!"

"That's all right. I can manage!" Edwin shied away and walked into the building with her.

"Edwin, do you know which floor Grandaunt is staying on?"

Only then did it strike her that she had forgotten to ask Benjamin about it when she saw him at the office.

"I do! Mr. Graham had already informed me earlier. I'll bring you there!" Edwin answered with a smile.

When the two of them got into the elevator, he pressed the button for the correct floor.

Upon arriving at the ward, they saw the six children sitting outside and teaching Tim how to use a phone.

Arissa tiptoed her way over to the kids.

Right before she could scare them, Zachary raised his head and saw her.

"Mommy!" The boy was thrilled to see her.

Gavin, Oliver, Jasper, Tim, and Jesse raised their heads as well.

Their eyes lit up when they saw her, and they cheered.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Ms. York!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

Elated, Arissa hugged the six of them.

"Did you guys miss me?"

The six children nodded in unison, each wearing a bright grin on their face. Even Tim crinkled his eyes in a smile.

"I've missed you guys too!" Arissa leaned over and kissed them. "Why didn't you guys wake me up in the morning?"

"Mommy, we wanted to let you sleep in!" Gavin answered. "Daddy told us not to disturb you, so we followed him and brought Great-grandaunt here."

"Yes! We wanted you to sleep in." Zachary nodded in agreement.

Arissa smiled. "How is Great-grandaunt doing?"

Oliver adjusted his glasses and informed, "Mommy, Great-grandaunt is asleep, so we came out to play!"

His mother inclined her head in acknowledgment.

"Great-grandaunt's test results came back with usual readings this morning, Mommy. Don't worry!" Jasper uttered.

Tim's eyes were sparkling when he chimed in, "Ms. York, don't worry. Great-grandaunt looks energetic today!"

Jesse nodded. "Great-grandaunt's appetite was great this morning."

"Okay! You guys carry on, okay? I'm going in to check on her."

Arissa ruffled their hair and went into the ward.

Only then did the kids notice Edwin's presence. "Hi, Mr. Whitley!" they chorused.

"Hello!" Edwin responded warmly. "Carry on, okay? I'm going in as well!"

The kids smiled and followed him in.

Since Mary was asleep, Arissa approached her silently and checked on her.

Then, she pulled the covers around her before retreating to the side and gesturing for Edwin to leave the soup there and leave the room together with her.

Edwin nodded, left the soup on the coffee table, and followed Arissa out.

When Arissa saw the kids had followed them in, she beckoned them over.

The six children glanced at Mary, then turned to leave the room.

"How long has Great-grandaunt been asleep for?" Arissa asked.
