Chapter 631 Their Piggy Bank
Benjamin noted that there was a stretch of dirt road heading to the village, so he turned to talk to Ethen.
“Arrange for us to fly over from there, and then fly back home.”
“Yes Sir!”
Benjamin didn’t want to waste time driving. It was better for them to fly over to the village first for Mary to get used to it. After she looked around the village enough, they could all fly back home together.
Arissa mentally agreed with his idea. It would save a lot of time and stress going back and forth.
She explained the situation to Mary, who was endlessly grateful.
“Thank you so much! I’m sorry for troubling you guys.”
“Don’t say that, Grandaunt! You can’t be in any stressful situations right now, and taking a plane would get rid of that,” Arissa comforted her.
Mary nodded.
Arissa finally started helping Mary tidy up her things along with the help of the six kids.
The helicopter arrived right after she had finished helping Mary pack.
“Are you ready?” Benjamin asked Arissa.
She nodded. “All done!”
“Then let’s go.”
Benjamin called for the kids to follow Ethen out first.
Arissa was helping Mary onto the wheelchair and Benjamin walked over after seeing that. “Hold on to the wheelchair,” he said to Arissa.
She turned to look at him when he suddenly picked up the old woman to place her in the wheelchair gently, which shocked both Mary and Arissa.
Arissa giggled and gave Benjamin a big thumbs-up.
He simply glanced at her. “Give her a blanket or a shawl.”
“Oh, I’m not cold, don’t worry!” Mary said, almost tearing up at his kindness.
Benjamin may have been cold and sharp on the outside, but he was still warm and kind on the inside.
Arissa brought over a blanket for Mary.
“It’s better to keep this on, Grandaunt. It’s cold in the hospital, and it’ll be cold on the plane later as well.”
Mary looked at the two of them with a smile on her face. “Okay, I’ll keep it on!”
Arissa pushed the wheelchair out to meet the six kids, who were busy helping Mary with her luggage.
Even Tim was holding onto a backpack.
“Tim, please give me that backpack.”
Mary didn’t feel right letting a small child hold onto her things.
“All of you, hold onto those bags for Great-grandaunt!”
“Great-grandaunt, we’re fine! It’s not good to put too much pressure on your legs,” Zachary said with a smile.
“Great-grandaunt, I’ll carry it!” Tim said, keeping a firm grip on his backpack.
Benjamin looked over to see a rather heavy backpack in Tim’s embrace and gestured for Ethen to go help him with it.
Tim held on to it tightly, not wanting to let go.
“I can take it by myself, Mr. Frank!”
Ethen chuckled at the sight of Tim’s stubbornness.
“What kind of treasures could possibly be in there?”
Tim just glanced at him silently.
Arissa and Benjamin looked at Tim curiously as well.
Mary chuckled. “It’s his piggy bank! Our IDs are in there as well.”
“No wonder he didn’t let us take that just now!” Oliver said.
Tim pouted.
“It’s a glass jar! It’s fragile and you might break it!”
Arissa chuckled and continued teasing her son. “How much do you have in there now?”
Tim looked at her shyly, not daring to say anything.
“Daddy will take it for you,” Benjamin said, picking it up smoothly.
Tim looked at him anxiously, but Benjamin just jerked his chin forward. “Watch where you’re walking.”
Tim looked at him and mumbled, “I can take it myself!”
“It’s quite heavy. I can promise you that it won’t break with me holding it!” Benjamin said haughtily.
Tim just pressed his lips together at the sight of Benjamin not letting the bag go. All he could do was run off to take something else.
“We’ll hold on to these.”
Jasper wasn’t letting him take anything either.
Arissa saw Tim feeling a bit panicked and called out, “Tim, come over here and help push the wheelchair.”
“Okay!” Tim said as he scurried over to help Arissa push the wheelchair.
Arissa smiled gently and patted him on the head.
They got into the plane and flew over to Rutaceae Village.
Arissa was worried that Mary wouldn’t be used to it and kept watching over her and Tim.
“Grandaunt, are you feeling okay?”
“Yup!”
Mary pressed her lips together. She was feeling nervous since she had never been on a plane before, but she felt too shy to actually say it.
