You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 470

“Hey, Zachary, don't you think it's weird? Why didn't Mommy come to see Tim?”

If Mommy knew he has been found, wouldn't she come over right away to see him? Why isn't she here when the rest of us are?

Zachary read his thoughts and felt the same.

Then, his brows knitted. “Could something have happened to Mommy?”

Jasper's face fell. “Did she fall sick?”

“Who fell sick?”

Oliver came out just in time to hear what Jasper had said.

In an instant, Gavin and Jesse heard it as well, and they all looked over.

Tim turned around too.

“Who has fallen sick?” asked Ethen as he walked toward the two children.

Zachary and Jasper gave him a glance, signaling him to one side.

“Tell us the truth, Mr. Frank. Did our mommy fall sick?”

She hadn't contacted them ever since she headed out this morning.

Ethen froze briefly as he thought about how Benjamin had rushed back because of Arissa. Then, he gazed at the children.

They obviously don't know what happened to her, but wouldn't they worry if I told them?

“Didn't you come over with Uncle Shaun? You can ask him.”

Shaun was the doctor in charge.

He was also the one who tended to Arissa whenever she fell sick.

The boys frowned.

“He didn't tell us anything,” Gavin said coldly while walking out of the ward.

Then, he began heading toward the doctors' office.

Zachary quickly tagged along.

Soon, Jasper, Oliver, and Jesse did the same.

Ethen brushed his nose and instructed the bodyguards to follow them.

“Has Jack left?” he asked upon noticing that Jack wasn't around.

“I'm not sure. He didn't tell us anything.”

With that, Ethen merely waved his hand, signaling the guards to follow the children.

Tim could tell that the other children were worried about someone having fallen sick, but he couldn't understand why Ethen was hiding the truth from them.

Is it because he doesn't want them to worry?

The boy had a bad feeling.

I wonder what happened to her.

Could it be something serious?

Why else would that man hurry back?

A look of worry formed on Tim's face.

Mary glanced at him before calling out to Ethen.

“Excuse me, young man!”

Ethen turned around to see the old woman beckoning him over.

“What is it, ma'am? he asked, walking toward her.

“Who has fallen sick?”

Ethen gazed at the old woman before turning to the boy, his eyes flashing with warmth at the sight of how worried Tim looked.

“Ha didn't tall us anything,” Gavin said coldly whila walking out of tha ward.

Than, ha bagan haading toward tha doctors' offica.

It looks like he does care.

“It's Mrs. Graham. She's the children's mother.”

Mary stilled for a moment. Is he talking about Tim's biological mother?

“Is it serious?”

She couldn't help but furrow her brows in concern.

“No. She collapsed from shock a while ago, but the doctor says she's fine now.”

Mary nodded. “Shock? From what?”

Ethen glanced at them and sighed.

“It happened when she was looking for her child,” he explained. “She thought something horrible had happened to him, so her nerves got the better of her.”

Mary looked at the boy next to her. “Was she looking for Tim?”

Ethen nodded.

It wasn't exactly a bad thing to let the boy know that Arissa had fallen sick looking for him.

Tim lowered his head and bit his lip.

She fell sick looking for me?

Didn't they abandon me? Why did they come looking for me again?

Tim couldn't get these questions out of his head.

Furthermore, the thought of the five children, including Gavin, all being together made him feel more miserable. It was as if he was the only one who had been deserted.

Is it because I'm not good enough?
