Chapter 589 Accept Mary As Her Aunt

As Arissa cleaned the table, Benjamin started working right after he finished having the oatmeal porridge.

“Do you need to get some rest?”

Benjamin met her caring gaze and explained, “The meeting has been postponed for a long time. Anyway, please

check on the kids on my behalf!”

As Benjamin continued with his work, Arissa didn’t disturb him. After washing the dishes, she headed to Mary’s

room.

Meanwhile, Mary cleaned her face while the care worker stood beside her.

Upon seeing it, Arissa hastily walked toward Mary and asked, “Mary, allow me. Did you just wake up?”

With that, Arissa gently wiped Mary’s face with a towel.

“Yes, I just woke up!” Mary was still a little tired.



After wiping Mary’s face, Arissa passed the towel to the care taker and asked her to continue with other work.

Then, Arissa poured a glass of warm water for Mary to rinse her mouth and reminded her to drink more water.

After a while, Mary was visibly energized.

Arissa took a plate of breakfast platter and fruits for Mary and said, “Mary, have something to eat!”

“Come and join me!” Mary took the plate from Arrisa with a grin.

“The meat floss bread is delicious!”



“Let me try some!”

Arissa grabbed a piece of meat floss bread and enjoyed it with Mary. “Hmm, it’s delicious! Mary, you should have

more.”

“I can’t eat so much. Keep some for Tim and other kids!”

“I’ve kept some food for them. Since the breakfast platter is to your liking, feel free to have more,” Arissa gently

persuaded Mary.

After a while, Arissa proposed to Mary, “Mary, we plan to bring you back to Dellmoor for future treatment after

your condition has stabilized.”

Mary was taken aback for a while and frowned. “To Dellmoor? It’s too far!”



“Dellmoor has the best medical facilities. We can put our minds at ease if you receive treatment there. Besides,

since we’re working there, it will be easier for us to take care of you. Even though the environment changes, your

doctor would still be Dr. Bailey.”

Arissa paused for a while and added, “Anyway, don’t worry about the medical bill because we’ll transfer you to

Benjamin’s hospital. We’ll handle everything if there are any charges.”

“Well…” Mary hesitated.

Deep down, Mary was slightly reluctant to leave her home and head toward Dellmoor.

All the more so, she didn’t want to trouble Benjamin, Arissa, and the others.

“Do you miss your home?”

Gazing at Arissa, Mary replied slowly, “I’ve never been to a place so far from my home. I’m worried that I won’t get

used to it! Well, I think I can get some simple treatment here. Just go back to Dellmoor if you guys are busy. Don’t

worry about me because I can take care of myself.”

“How can we stop worrying about you? You’ll be alone if we go back. Besides, Tim is still a child and can hardly take

care of you here.”

After a while, Arissa continued to persuade Mary. “If you miss your home, you can return once you’ve recovered.

What do you think?”

Arissa kept trying to persuade Mary to go to Dellmoor with them, for the medical facilities there were way better.

They wouldn’t make such a decision if the medical facilities here were on par with those in Dellmoor.

Looking at Arissa, Mary said, “I think it’s enough for you to bring Tim back to Dellmoor. Isn’t that too much of a

hassle if I come with you?”

“Not at all!”

Arissa immediately held onto Mary’s arm and said, “Mary, I’ll be upset if you think like that. By the way, would you

like it if I accept you as my grandaunt?”

Mary met Arissa’s gaze and felt touched. “You silly goose, others keep their distance from me after knowing my

health condition. Why do you want to accept me as family? I’m worried that I’ll be a burden to you instead.”

Arissa said, “Well, I meant it from the bottom of my heart. Mary, I’m grateful to you for raising Tim for us. Hence,

we’re indebted to your family and must treat you well.”

Arissa paused for a while and added, “Please don’t think that you might be a burden to us, for Tim will be upset.

Also, Tim, Gavin, and the other kids will return to school in Dellmoor. They will be happy if you can go to the city

with us for treatment.”

After Arissa brought up Tim, Mary gave it some thought and eventually believed that she ought to go to Dellmoor.



After all, Tim had to go home with his dad and mom.

Moreover, Tim hadn’t gone to school all the while because Mary couldn’t afford it.

Mary knew that if she insisted on staying here, Tim wouldn’t leave her alone.
