Downstairs, Benjamin, Kingsley, and Shaun were drinking

coffee.

Meanwhile, Arissa was chatting with Mary.

Noticing that the latter seemed a bit tired, she suggested,

“Grandaunt, why don't you take a bath and rest? You still have

to go to the hospital early morning tomorrow.”

“Uh...” Mary hesitated for a moment, finding it rather

inappropriate to go and rest when everyone was gathered

there. “I can stay and sit for a while longer.”

Aware of her concern, Arissa coaxed smilingly, “Let them sit

here by themselves. I'll take you back to your room. It'll be late

by the time you finish bathing.”

“Mdm. Mary, you should really rest earlier. You have to go to

the hospital early tomorrow morning. When you're done

bathing, I'll check you over again,” Shaun seconded.

Nodding, Mary finally allowed Arissa to help her up and escort

her back to her room.

Arissa helped to draw her a bath before preparing a set of

clothes for her.

“Issa, go out and sit with them. | can manage by myself.”

In other words, Mary was telling her that she didn't need her to

wait on her there.

In response, Arissa chuckled. “It's okay. The men are all

drinking coffee, so I'd be the odd one out. Hurry up and take a

bath, Grandaunt. I'll put the towel here, and this is the shower

gel.”

“Got it!” Mary relented.

Only then did Arissa shut the door and left the bathroom.

As she abruptly thought of something, she called out toward

the bathroom, “Grandaunt, after you change out of the clothes,

just leave them be. Don't wash them.”

“Okay,” Mary answered.

Arissa walked away and started

straightening the room.

She didn't take out the luggage to be brought to the hospital

but sorted out the clothes at home instead.

Then, she made the bed and tidied the room.

After doing all that, she waited in the room for Mary to finish

bathing.

Recalling that she hadn't spoken to Bradley, she swiftly rang

him up.

A moment later, Bradley's groggy voice drifted into her ears.

“Boss!”

Arissa was stunned for a moment. “Were you sleeping?”

Chuckling sheepishly, Bradley said, “I didn't go to bed until a

little over five in the afternoon.”

Avrissa, likewise, chortled. She glanced at the bathroom before

strolling over to the balcony.

In a low voice, she asked, “Have you found out anything?”

“What? What did you just say, Boss?”

Bradley's volume went up a notch.

Avrissa repeated herself, upon which Bradley's voice again

rang out from the other end of the phone.

“Boss? Why can't | hear her anymore? What crappy signal!”

In no time, Bradley hung up the phone.

Hearing the disconnect tone from her phone, Arissa frowned

deeply.

Was the sign really bad, or was it deliberate on his part?

Just when she was planning to call him back, she heard the

bathroom door opening. She quickly put her phone away and

hurried over.

“Where should | hang my clothes, Issa?”

Mary came out with a basin in hand.

Hastily taking it from her, Arissa chided with a smile, “Didn't |

tell you not to wash your clothes, Grandaunt? You're not in

perfect health now. I'll do it instead. Besides, there are

housekeepers here.

Just have them do the laundry.”

Mary merely flashed her a smile. “I can wash them by myself.

There's no need to trouble them. Furthermore, I'm still mobile

now. It's not like I'm already bedridden!”

At that, Arissa chuckled. “Sit down. I'll go and hang the

clothes.”

Mary nodded in agreement. “Okay!”

Upon seeing that the bed was already made, she was

incredibly moved.

Subsequently, she watched as Arissa went to the balcony to

hang the clothes.

“Grandaunt, I've packed the clothes to be worn at home. The

clothes in the bag are for you to bring to the hospital.

Tomorrow, we can bring the bag without taking anything out.”

“Sure!” Mary replied with a beam.

Poking her head in, Arissa added, “Granduncle's picture is also

in the bag. | haven't taken it out yet.”

“Just leave it and bring it to the hospital as well!” Mary wanted

to take the picture with her.

Hearing that, Arissa giggled. “I just knew that you'd want to

bring it along!”

Mary walked over and inquired gently, “Issa, were you all living

here also previously?”

“Yup! Why?” Arissa hung up all the clothes to dry.

Nodding in acknowledgment, Mary hesitated for a while before

asking, “So what exactly is your relationship with Benjamin?”
