Chapter 466 What Friends
Jack looked down at Tim again and met the boy’s curious gaze. He was stunned after a closer inspection.
He noticed Tim was slightly different from the kids back in Dellmoor.
Jack dashed over and halted in front of Tim.
“You’re Tim?”
Tim shrank back and pursed his lips.
Not fazed by Tim’s silence, Jack introduced himself friendly. “Hi, Tim. I’m Jack. Why are you so dark?”
Ethen rolled his eyes at Jack’s stupidity, then knocked his head. “Stop your nonsense!”
Jack immediately shut his mouth and looked at Tim apologetically. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think things through before I spoke. Don’t be angry. I’m quite dark myself.”
He lifted his arm and showed his dark skin to Tim.
Tim simply glanced at him, then turned around to enter the ward.
Confused at Tim’s actions, Jack turned to Ethen. “W-Why did he leave?”
His eyes widened as he assumed the worst, recalling Tim had not spoken a word ever since he arrived. “Does Tim have a problem speaking?”
Ethen was fed up with Jack’s wild imagination. “What nonsense are you talking about now? He’s fine. Maybe he just doesn’t want to speak to an idiot like you.”
“You!” Jack’s temper spiked at Ethen’s jab.
“I think it’s better if you return to Dellmoor. Mr. Graham asked me to stay here and care for Tim. There are many tasks there that I can’t pick up, so go back and help Mr. Graham,” Ethen asked.
Jack was confused at Ethen’s request. “Why don’t you head back and let me care for Tim?”
Ethen cast him a contemptuous look. “Didn’t you see how he has ignored you just a while ago? Are you sure you can take care of him if you stay?”
Jack pursed his lips. I hate to admit it, but Ethen is right.
“How did you find him?”
“It was all thanks to Mr. Graham’s sharp hearing. Otherwise, we would’ve lost the chance to save Tim.”
Luckily, Mr. Graham noticed something was off. Else, we would’ve lost the opportunity to find Tim. It was my fault for being careless and not paying any attention to the calls.
Ethen told Jack a bit about what happened.
Jack taunted, “And you claim that you’re a meticulous person. Aren’t you careless too?”
Ethen scowled at him. “Hurry up and go back!”
Jack shook his head. “I haven’t played with Tim yet.”
Ethen was struck speechless at Jack’s childishness.
“Tim is slightly sensitive at the moment. Play with him after he returns to Yaleview.”
Jack blinked his eyes. “Sensitive about what?”
Ethen decided he was done speaking to Jack at that point.
Then, his phone rang. Shaun had called Ethen to inform him about his arrival at the hospital with a team of medical staff and the kids.
Hearing they had arrived, Ethen sent Jack down to pick them up.
Jack shot him the bird, then ran down to bring them up.
Ethen merely smirked at Jack’s back and entered the ward. He said, “Tim, a few doctors have arrived from Dellmoor. They’ll conduct a detailed examination on your grandma.”
“Are they good?”
Tim looked up at Ethen with gratitude shining in his eyes.
That man really did sent the doctors.
“Of course, they’re all well-known within the country and famous globally.”
Ethen’s confirmation reassured Tim.
“Thank you, Mr. Frank!” Tim thanked.
Ethen ruffled Tim’s head. “You’re welcome! Your dad was the one who hired these doctors, so you should thank him.”
Tim lowered his head, looking down at Mary, who was lying on the bed with her eyes shut.
“Grandma, wake up! There are more skillful doctors here to help you.”
Ethen patted Tim’s shoulders lightly. “Tim, there’s something I have to tell you.”
Tim had gotten familiar with Ethen, so he was much more comfortable with him now.
Ethen flashed a smile at the boy as he bent down to his eye level. “There’ll be a few friends coming here with the doctors later.”
Tim was puzzled.
Friends? What friends?
“Ethen!”
Jack’s voice echoed from outside and had Ethen looking over his shoulder.
He saw Shaun and the rest were waiting outside the room, so he hurriedly led Tim over to them.
“Let’s go and meet them.”
