“Tim, are you sure you don't want to come with us?” Oliver asked.
Tim shook his head. “You guys go ahead!”
“Bye, Tim! See you in the afternoon!” Jesse smiled and said goodbye before saying to Mary, “Grandma, eat well
and rest well, okay? We'll be back to keep you company in the afternoon!”
Mary flashed a loving smile and answered, “Okay. Off you go!”
Gavin and Zachary also said in unison, “Goodbye, Grandma! Goodbye, Tim!”
“Bye!” Tim waved at them.
Benjamin bid goodbye to Mary before leaving with the kids.
“Sweetheart, go to the room next door to rest if you feel tired, okay?” Arissa urged.
Tim shook his head and answered, “I'm not tired. Ms. York, I'll feed Grandma. You go and get some rest!”
Tim approached her and wanted to take the food off of her hand, but Arissa stopped him. “I can manage. Just relax

Mary looked at them blissfully and uttered, “Issa, since you've woken up so early, you should follow them back and
get some rest instead of staying here to take care of me. I can eat on my own. Go get some rest!”
Despite hearing that, Arissa smiled and brushed her off. “I'll have some rest after you're done eating!”
Mary noticed her stubbornness, and she shook her head. “Since you've only recovered, you shouldn't tire yourself
out!”
Arissa flashed a comforting smile when she saw how much Mary cared for her. “I'm fine, Mdm. Mary. Stop talking
and eat up, okay?”
“All right! All right!” Mary answered and ate obediently.
Tim was sitting nearby, and he kept taking food for Mary as well.
Tim suddenly saw the cheesecakes nearby. “Ms. York, Jesse and the others forgot to bring the cheesecakes back
with them.”
Arissa turned and smiled. “It's okay. We'll have them in a while.”
“What?” Tim was shocked.
Arissa flicked his nose and asked, “Don't you want to have some cakes?”
Tim wanted to eat, but he knew the cakes belonged to the others.
Arissa could tell what was on Tim's mind, so she said, “We can't keep the cakes for too long. Otherwise, they'll melt!
We have to eat them so that they won't go to waste. Besides, I can always buy some more when Gavin and the
others crave them!”
Tim blinked. Is that so?
“Here, Mdm. Mary. Have some soup!” Arissa blew on the soup to cool it down before feeding Mary patiently.
Arissa only cleaned up after Mary had finished the bowl of mushroom soup.
“Grandma, are you feeling better?” Tim leaned on the bed and held Mary's hand.
Mary caressed Tim's head lovingly and uttered, “Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry!”

In the meantime, Arissa was peeling some fruits for Mary, but she remembered how Mary couldn't take much
sugary food. “Mdm. Mary, from now on, you ought to keep an eye out on your sugar intake, okay?”
Mary was taken aback. “Why is that?”
Arissa realized Mary had no idea about her high blood sugar level. She sighed and advised, “You have a high blood
sugar level, so you can't eat these. From now on, you have to control your sugar intake!”
Mary sighed and nodded. “I didn't even know because I've never tested myself for that.”
Usually, Mary would only check her blood pressure, and she knew she had high blood pressure.
“It's no big deal, though. Don't worry about it!” Arissa comforted Mary. She only told Mary about it so that she would
be careful about her sugar intake in the future.
Mary nodded and asked, “Are my test results out yet?”
“Not yet!” Arissa poured Mary a glass of warm water and fed it to her.
Right then, Shaun brought some doctors and nurses into the ward. “I'm here to examine Mdm. Mary!”
Arissa nodded and brought Tim to the side.
Shaun proceeded to check on Mary. He then asked gently, “Mdm. Mary, are you feeling okay? Are you feeling any
sort of discomfort?”
