Avrissa's gaze fell on the bodyguards. “Do you guys want some

snacks, too?” she offered.

“We're good, Ms. York. Thank you!” they replied modestly.

The woman merely smiled and shared her snacks with them.

“Eat up. You don't have to be so cautious when Benjamin isn't

around. There's also no need to keep standing up, you know?

‘You can always take a seat.”

“Thank you, Ms. York.”

The men were stunned to be treated kindly, but they still dared

not sit down.

Punishment would be inevitable if Benjamin came over and

‘saw them slacking off.

“You're welcome! You guys are always working so hard,”

Arissa remarked. “It's fine to take it a little easier when

Benjamin isn't around.”

“Yes, ma'am.”

The guards nodded, then glanced at Gavin instinctively.

The boy looked at them. “You have to eat whatever my

mommy gives you.”

There was a hint of dominance in his voice.

Arissa was tickled to hear that. “There's no need to hold back.

Eat up!”

She then had Gavin bring more snacks from Shaun's office.

“Get some fruits too.”

“Okay!” The boy nodded and began to run back to Shaun's

office.

“I'l go with you!” Tim chirped.

Gavin waited for him to make his way over. When the latter

did, he held his hand and trotted away together.

At that sight, Arissa's lips quirked.

Suddenly, shC heard a commotion from inside the ward, so

she rushed inside.

There were glass shards on the floor. At that moment, Mary

was sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Don't come down, Grandaunt! Wait right there.”

Avrissa hastily grabbed a broom and began to sweep up the

broken glass pieces.

“I knocked into the glass by accident. Be careful, Issa. Don't

hurt yourself!”

The elderly woman looked extremely apologetic.

“It's no problem at all. Everything will be okay after I'm done

cleaning up. Don't come down yet,” Arissa

reassured.

After cleaning the large shards, she wet a towel and wiped the

floor with it, one small area at a time.

Then, she exited the ward and asked a bodyguard to buy

‘some clear duct tape.

At the same time, Gavin, Tim, and Zachary came over with

food and were about to head into the ward upon seeing that

Mary had woken up.

“Don't come in, Sweethearts! Wait outside for now. A glass got

broken just now, and I'm still cleaning it up,” Arissa said to

them.

“Okay, Mommy!" Zachary replied while turning to his two older

brothers.

“Let's wait out here.”

“You have to be careful as well, Mommy,” Gavin urged.

“1 will.”

Arissa walked back into the ward and asked, “What were you

planning to do, Grandaunt?”

Leaning against the door, Tim peeked into the room.

The boy was feeling a lot happier after seeing Mary.

“I wanted to & to the restroom,” the elderly woman answered.

“Come down from the other side. There are still some glass

shards over here,” Arissa instructed while pushing a

wheelchair over.

After Mary turned the other way, she helped her down.

“Be careful.”

“Okay, I'm ready,” said Mary upon taking a seat on the

wheelchair.

Avrissa took her to the restroom while holding on to the latter's

IV bag.

The three children remained waiting at the door.

By the time Mary came out of the restroom, the bodyguard had

returned with a roll of duct tape.

“Give it to me.”

Avrissa took the duct tape and stuck it to the floor, using it to

pick up the remaining glass shards.

Seeing that, the bodyguard ran up to help. “Let me do it, Ms.

York. Have a seat over there.”

“Be careful,” the woman urged when she saw him squat on the

floor to pick up the glass shards.

“Yes, ma'am.”

After sticking every inch of the floor with duct tape and

ascertaining there were no more glass pieces,

he cleaned the entire area with a vacuum.

Meanwhile, Arissa tended to the elderly woman on the bed.

“Give your face a wipe, Grandaunt.”

“Okay.”

Mary took the towel from her and wiped her face with it, feeling

more refreshed instantly.

“When did you come over, Issa?”

“About half an hour after you fell asleep, according to the kids.

Are you feeling better today?”

Mary smiled and nodded. “Il am.”

“Did you sleep well last night?” Arissa asked in concern.
