Be Late
“I think we should still head upstairs, Great-grandaunt. You should lie down more!” Worry was scribbled
on Zachary’s face. Oliver and Jesse nodded. “You’ll feel better if you lie down. Let’s go upstairs.”
“Go on upstairs, Great-grandaunt. We won’t play anymore. Once you get better, we’ll bring you down
here again and have fun together! We can even tour around Dellmoor!” Gavin advised.
Tim, too, nodded. “You should listen to them, Great-grandaunt. Let’s head upstairs and rest.” “All right,
all right. Let’s head upstairs!” With a smile, Mary nodded, not wanting to let the children worry.
Turning to Arissa, she said, “Let’s go, Issa!” With a nod, Arissa smiled and led Mary back to her ward.
“Come on, kids!” All six children followed behind.
“Slow down, Mommy. Don’t push it too fast or Great-grandaunt will feel uncomfortable!” one of them
suggested. “Okay!” Arissa replied with a smile before slowing her speed down.
“I’m feeling fine. The operation was successful. My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore now.” Upon smiling,
Mary comforted the children. “You guys don’t have to be so apprehensive. Don’t you see I’m doing well
right now?”
The children still stared at her with concern. “In that case, if you’re feeling uncomfortable, Great-
grandaunt, you must quickly let us know! You can let Mommy or Mr. Bailey know too!”
The old woman was pleased to hear the concern in the children’s voices. “Okay.”
After they all returned to her ward, the children helped her lie on the bed.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere, Grandaunt?” Arissa asked caringly as she tucked Mary in.
“I’m feeling fine. You and the kids don’t have to worry about me. I feel recharged after taking a stroll
downstairs!” The old woman smiled and waved her hand, non-verbally asking Arissa to rest, too.
The children surrounded the bed and stared at Mary.
“Rest well, Great-grandaunt!” Gavin said.
She nodded. “You all should rest too!”
As they spoke, Shaun dropped by and gave Mary a checkup. “Is it okay if I give you an injection right
now, Mdm. Mary?”
“Sure! Go ahead.” Mary nodded cooperatively.
When he saw Arissa and the children staring at the old woman worryingly, he smiled. “You all should sit
at the side. Mdm. Mary is doing fine. It’s beneficial for the patient’s recovery if they spend time taking
strolls from time to time.”
Arissa grinned. “I understand that, but I still can’t help but worry.”
Shaun nodded, grabbed the needle, and gave the old woman an injection.
As for the children, they used the kettle inside the ward to boil her an egg. They then rubbed the egg on
the needle bruise on the back of Mary’s other hand.
The kind gesture made the elderly woman feel very touched. The smile on her wrinkled face remained
for a long time.
Seeing how diligent the children were, Arissa watched from the side and let them do their thing.
It was then Benjamin called.
She answered, “Hello?”
“Have you gone to pick up the children?” he asked.
“Yes. We’re at Grandaunt’s place right now.” With a grin, she watched as the children kept Mary
company.
“Okay. I still have work I need to take care of here, so I’ll be there late!” Benjamin informed.
“No need to rush. If they get hungry, I’ll buy something for them to eat. When I picked them up, I asked
them if they’d eaten, and they told me they ate some snacks in school during the afternoon, so they
aren’t hungry yet.”
“All right, then. Don’t just take care of the children. If you’re hungry, you should eat something too. I’ll
be there once I wrap up my matters.”
“Got it. You should get back to work. I’m hanging up now!” Arissa smiled.
“Okay.”
After the call ended, she washed some fruits and asked the children to eat them.
She also brought food that Mary could eat and fed the old woman while sitting next to the bed.
