You More Than Anything In The World

As Ethen returned with the oatmeal porridge, the children swiftly propped up the mini-table by the bed.

It was now that Mary realized there were four other children in here—three of whom looked especially similar to each other.

“Err... these children.!” she exclaimed.

As she turned to Ethen, the latter smiled.

“They're my boss' children. And yes, they're sextuplets.”

Realization dawned on Mary as she gazed at Tim.

These are all Tim's family members. They've finally come for him.

Could it have been a mistake when Tim was abandoned back then?

Noticing the look on Mary's face, Ethen knew what she was thinking and saw no need to explain any further.

“Have some food, ma'am.”

“Eat up, Grandma! I've already eaten.”

Tim blew on the oatmeal porridge, climbed onto the bed, and began to feed Mary.

Delighted, the old woman stroke his head lovingly.

“Were you worried about me?”

“I was so scared! I'm just glad you're awake now, Grandma.”

The boy beamed at her.

Mary's heart ached at the sight. He must've felt so helpless while I was unconscious.

Then, she felt a little more relieved as she gazed at the other five children.

At least they'll be with him when I'm no longer around. He won't feel helpless ever again.

Despite feeling reluctant, Mary was still glad that the boy had found his family while she was still alive.

“I'm perfectly fine, my child,” she assured, suppressing the pain in her heart.

Tim gazed at her, well aware that she was only trying to console him. She wouldn't have coughed blood if she were truly fine.

“Have some oatmeal porridge and get some rest, Grandma. Dr. Bailey said he'll be giving you a full-body check-up.”

“Okay.” Mary nodded. “Give that to me. I can feed myself.”

“No, Grandma. Your hand is in pain, doesn't it? Let me feed you,” Tim insisted while continuing to feed her the exact same way she used to feed him.

Ethen, Gavin, and the five children felt troubled as they watched the sight before them.

They could tell how much Tim cared for Mary.

The boy would surely be devastated if anything were to happen to her.

Zachary walked to a corner and whipped out his phone to switch it on, only to learn that he had a missed call from Arissa.

He then glanced at Tim before exiting the ward to return Arissa's call.

The woman happened to be asleep, and Benjamin grabbed her phone as soon as he heard it ring.

He answered the call upon realizing that it was Zachary.
