After walking out of Mary's ward, Arissa dialed Bradley's number but could not get through to him.

She then tried again, but there was still no response.

What's going on?

A bad feeling rose within the woman as she furrowed her brows. He's not deliberately ignoring my calls, is he?

Soon, Tim trotted over with Gavin right behind him.

“Mommy! Tim has some food for you,” the latter exclaimed.

Arissa was astonished. “Is this for me, Sweetheart?” she asked with a loving smile.

A blush crept up Tim's cheeks.

“Yeah. These are for you.”

Arissa was thrilled. After receiving the snacks and fruits with both hands, she kissed the little boy on the cheek. “Thank you, Sweetheart!”

“You're welcome,” the child replied in a soft voice. “Mr. Bailey bought them.”

The woman nodded with a smile.

“Go on and have fun, Sweethearts.”

Tim glanced at her before running to the door, pushing it open, and taking a peek inside.

Gavin leaned over too. “Great-grandaunt hasn't woken up yet,” he whispered.

Arissa chuckled at the sight of the two boys. “She's receiving an IV treatment, so she won't wake up so soon.”

“I'll get you more when you've finished your food, Mommy.”

Gavin stared straight at her without batting his eyelids.

The woman gave his cheek a light pinch. “There's also some food inside your great-grandaunt's ward. I just had breakfast not long ago, so I'm not hungry yet. By the way, this is spicy, so don't eat too much of it, okay?”

Gavin nodded happily. “There are non-spicy snacks too, Mommy. Zachary said you like spicy food, so Tim brought you two of them.”

“Mr. Whitley said you can't eat too much spicy food, so I only brought you two of these,” Tim chimed in after closing the door to the ward.

Wrapping her arms around the two boys, she sat with them on the bench out in the hallway.

“Are these yummy?” she asked, glancing at the snacks.

I've never seen these before.

“They are!” Tim nodded.

Gavin eyed him briefly before nodding with a smile as well.

“They're yummy, but Daddy doesn't let me eat too much of them,” he added with a smile.

Arissa gazed at the children again.

“Do you want these?”

They shook their heads.

“You can have them, Mommy. I already ate lots of them at Mr. Bailey's office,” Gavin answered, beaming.

Tim responded similarly.

“I had quite a lot too.”

The woman stroked both their heads and turned to the younger boy among the two.

“Did you have fun at Mr. Bailey's office, Tim?”

“Yeah! We had toys to play with!” And food.

Tim's eyes lit up.

Arissa was surprised. “Toys? Why are there toys?”

“Mr. Bailey bought them for me when I used to visit all the time. I forgot to take them home,” Gavin explained.

Arissa nodded in understanding before opening up one of the snacks.

It was delicious.

“This is yummy!”
