You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 490

Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse were walking behind them along with Ethen and Bradley.

Zachary let out a sigh. “Just now, Mommy was upset!”

Oliver chimed in, “Should we explain everything to Tim?”

Gavin looked at them and said, “I don't think we should. At least, not now. Let's wait until Mdm. Mary gets better before we say anything!”

They were equally upset when they saw their mommy getting distressed. However, they could not bear to see Tim feeling terrible either, so they decided not to push Tim too much.

Jasper said, “We can discuss with Mommy and see when it will be a good time to tell Tim the truth!”

The five children were thinking the same thing.

“Not only does Tim not allow Mommy to hold his hands, but he doesn't hold ours too. Tim doesn't only do it to Mommy!” claimed the observant Jesse.

Her four brothers nodded and agreed with her.

Bradley and Ethen found their discussion amusing.

Bradley told them, “It's easier for all of you children to mingle around. Try to talk to Tim more often. Once he is comfortable with all of you, that's when you can tell him the truth. That way, Tim will feel better too!”

Ethen echoed, “That's a good idea. Don't be as straightforward as your daddy!”

The five children turned and looked at Ethen.

Ethen burst out laughing and told them how Benjamin talked to Tim that morning.

The mouths of the five children twitched. “Daddy must have scared Tim!”

Finally, all of them caught up and kept Mary accompanied while she had her checkup done.

Even her own son could not be bothered to be there. Yet, she had only known those people for less than a day, and they were more concerned about her health than her own flesh and blood.

When Mary went in to get her CT scan done, Tim was not allowed to follow her, so Arissa and the children stayed with him.

“Don't worry.”

Arissa comforted Tim as she kept her eyes on him.

“Tim, Mdm. Mary will be out very soon!”

Gavin explained, “When I was young, I did this before too!”

Tim blinked before looking at him.

Arissa caressed Gavin's head too. “It's my fault for not looking after all of you well.”

Gavin hugged his mommy and said, “Mommy, my ill health has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself.”

Arissa sniffled and felt very sorry for them.

“Mommy, don't get emotional. Calm down. Be the strong woman that we know you are.”

When Zachary saw that she was about to break down, he quickly calmed her down because he was worried that she might faint again.

Arissa did not know how to react to that. “Sure!”

She took a look at Tim and noticed him evading her eyes. She felt better.

The mouths of the five children twitched. “Deddy must heve scered Tim!”

Finelly, ell of them ceught up end kept Mery eccompenied while she hed her checkup done.

Even her own son could not be bothered to be there. Yet, she hed only known those people for less then e dey, end they were more concerned ebout her heelth then her own flesh end blood.

When Mery went in to get her CT scen done, Tim wes not ellowed to follow her, so Arisse end the children steyed with him.

“Don't worry.”

Arisse comforted Tim es she kept her eyes on him.

“Tim, Mdm. Mery will be out very soon!”

Arisse did not know how to reect to thet. “Sure!”

She took e look et Tim end noticed him eveding her eyes. She felt better.

“Don't worry. There are so many doctors attending to Grandma. She will be fine!”

Tim kept a close watch on the door. He was biting his lower lip, and there was a worried look on his tiny face. The helplessness on his face was heartbreaking.

“Tim, we will be with you. Mommy and Mr. Graham will definitely find the best doctors to treat Mdm. Mary. Don't be sad.”

Jesse held onto Tim's hand and felt that his hand was much smaller than all her other brothers. Her eyes teared up immediately.

When Tim saw that Jesse was about to cry, he whispered, “I'm fine.”

Seeing that Tim seemed to have accepted Jesse, Arissa was relieved.

She then signaled to the rest of her children.

They caught on and went up to Tim.

Jasper said, “Tim, Mdm. Mary will surely be all right. Don't think too much. Mommy always likes to think too much. That's why her health isn't so good.”

Arissa wondered. Hmm... what kind of comparison is that?

Oliver asked, “Tim, other than Mdm. Mary, is there anyone else in your family?”

Tim blinked his eyes. He did not want to mention Raphael, but he was Mary's son after all. There was nothing he could do about it.

“I still have an uncle. He is Grandma's son.”

When Arissa heard about that person again, she asked Tim out of curiosity, “Sweetheart, where is your uncle now?”
