Chapter 632 His First Time On A Plane
Arissa held her hand gently.
“Don’t worry, Grandaunt. Planes are always like this at takeoff. It’ll be fine in just a second.”
Mary nodded.
Tim was better off, but he was also both worried and excited since it was the first time he was so high up in the air.
He sat next to Benjamin, who held his hand tightly.
“Don’t worry!”
Arissa turned around to caress Tim’s head and said, “Don’t worry, baby. Mommy’s here.”
Tim looked at her and nodded as he chewed on his lip.
Jesse looked at him and said with a smile, “Tim, it’s fun to be on a plane. Don’t worry too much. Later when we’re higher up in the sky, you should look down at the view!”
Tim nodded.
Jasper patted Jesse on the head as he said to Tim, “When we get high enough, you can see the clouds, too!”
“In fact, the plane will stabilize soon enough and it’ll feel like nothing. I’m actually a little bit dizzy now, too,” Oliver said, trying to calm Tim down.
“My heart skipped a beat too!” Zachary said with a smile.
“That’s just how it is for takeoffs. This is okay because it’s a helicopter, but those big planes are even scarier!”
“Everyone’s first time on a plane is scary, Tim. It’ll get better,” Gavin comforted Tim.
Tim nodded in response.
Benjamin looked at the other kids with Ethen, Kingsley and Shaun around them.
“Were you guys scared too?”
Zachary simply glanced at him.
“Ethen, change our pilot next time,” Benjamin commanded in a low voice.
The six kids just stared at him.
“Yes, Sir!” Ethen noted down.
“Mr. Graham, if we change the pilot, he won’t have a job anymore. I wasn’t scared, I just wasn’t used to it,” Tim said quietly.
He didn’t want someone to lose his job because of him.
The rest of them looked at him with a smile.
“Tim, don’t worry, the pilot won’t lose his job if he doesn’t fly this helicopter. Mr. Graham will find him another job. All the pilots are bodyguards, and this one just happened to not be Mr. Graham’s favorite.”
“Oh!” Tim said awkwardly.
Benjamin looked down at him. “Are you feeling better?”
Tim glanced back up. “Yes!”
Arissa chuckled and patted him on the head. “Wow, you’re so caring!”
Tim’s face turned red while Mary chuckled as well.
“Of course he is! He’s always been caring. He just hadn’t known how to express it.”
Arissa smiled in response. “Grandaunt, you sure did a great job raising him!”
“That’s not true. Tim here is a good kid.”
Mary looked at Tim with a happy glint in her eye.
“Have some water, Grandaunt.” Arissa poured a glass of water for her.
“Thank you!” Mary took a sip.
“Are you feeling better?” Arissa asked. She had constantly been checking up on Mary to make sure that she was feeling alright.
“Yes, I’m feeling much better now,” Mary said a little awkwardly.
Arissa smiled and said gently, “This is how planes take off. I take them often but still get nervous, and sometimes I even get nauseous. I hope you’re not feeling dizzy or anything now.”
“Oh, of course not. I’m much better now, even though I did feel a bit lightheaded just now.”
Now that the plane was finally stable, Mary was much more relaxed and comfortable with telling Arissa how she actually felt.
“Planes are the same as boats and cars. It’s normal to feel a bit dizzy or sick on them,” Arissa said with a smile as she continued to keep a close eye on Mary.
She only relaxed when she was sure that Mary was completely okay.
“Shaun, come take a look at Grandaunt!” Benjamin called out.
Shaun came over to check up on Mary and massaged her temples gently.
“Don’t worry, please. I feel fine!” Mary consoled them.
“Mdm. Mary, if you’re feeling unwell, please let me know. I’m your doctor, so I’m supposed to help you. If you hold it back too much, it’ll just become worse,” Shaun reminded her gently.
“This isn’t anything serious. I’m just a bit dizzy, so you guys really don’t have to worry,” Mary said, touched by their concern.
“It’ll make us feel better if you let him do a quick check-up,” Arissa convinced her with a smile.
