Chapter 524 Are You Worried About Me
Arissa was amused. “I saw!”
She had been paying attention to how the kids interacted with each other, and she was glad to see Tim giving food to Jesse willingly. Tim knows how to treat Jesse nicely!
“I can get some more if you guys like them so much!” Arissa said to the kids.
“Mommy, we should just pack them up and eat in the afternoon. I’m full now,” Zachary uttered.
“All right. We’ll pack them up. We can even get a slice of it for Grandma!” Oliver chimed in.
“Grandma can’t have this!” Shaun reminded.
Arissa glanced at Shaun upon hearing that.
“Grandma has diabetes, so she should be careful with her sugar intake,” Shaun explained.
Arissa furrowed her brows and asked, “Are the test results out?”
“Her test for blood sugar level came out rather quickly. However, we’re still waiting for the other test results,” Shaun answered.
Arissa nodded. “I’ll be more mindful after this!”
Tim frowned and said, “Grandma used to make desserts quite frequently. Could that have contributed to her condition?”
Arissa patted his head. “We’ll just be careful from now on. Has Mdm. Mary ever done a health checkup?”
Tim lowered his head and uttered softly, “We’re poor, so Grandma would usually just toughen up whenever she fell sick.”
Everyone felt sad upon hearing that.
Indeed, Tim’s life had been tough.
Arissa pinched Tim’s shoulder lovingly and said, “Don’t worry. That won’t happen again. I have money to treat Mdm. Mary’s sickness.”
Tim glanced at her and said softly, “We can’t spend your money, Ms. York. I have money!”
Arissa was puzzled as to where his money came from. “You do?”
Tim nodded.
Benjamin was worried that Arissa would get sad again upon hearing Tim’s answer, so he interrupted, “Are you all done eating? We should get back now. Mdm. Mary might be awake already.”
“Yes. Mdm. Mary must be famished. Sweethearts, are you all done eating?” Arissa didn’t question Tim further, because it was more important to check on Mary.
“I’m done, Mommy!” Gavin answered.
“I’m done as well, Mommy!” Zachary answered.
“I’m done, Mommy!” Oliver answered.
“Me too, Mommy!” Jasper answered.
“I’m full, Mommy!” Jesse answered.
Tim quickly chimed in, “I’m done, Ms. York!”
Arissa flashed a smile before wiping the kids’ mouths with a napkin. “Go wash your hands before we leave!”
Upon hearing that, all six of the kids got up and went to wash their hands.
Arissa then looked at Shaun and the others and asked, “Are you guys done?”
Shaun smiled and answered, “Yes!”
Bradley and Ethen nodded as well when Arissa looked at them. “We’re done too!”
Both of them then got up and went to the restroom to accompany those six little ones.
Benjamin glanced at Shaun and asked, “Will you get them to hurry and pack up the food?”
“Sure!” Shaun got up and urged the servers to pick up their pace because they were about to leave.
“Have some water!” Benjamin poured a glass of water for Arissa.
Arissa shot him a look and asked, “What’s the hurry?”
She knew Benjamin wasn’t just worried about Mary.
“I have something to deal with,” Benjamin answered flatly.
Arissa recalled how busy he was. “If you’re busy, you don’t have to be at the hospital. Perhaps, you should just head back to the hotel and work.”
Benjamin’s eyes glinted, and he leaned toward her. “Are you worried about me?”
Arissa froze momentarily before she smiled and answered, “If that’s what you want to believe, go ahead!”
Benjamin played with her hair and asked, “Will you follow me back to the hotel?”
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat. Is it just my imagination playing tricks on me, or does he actually sound a bit ambiguous?
