Chapter 556
The More the Merrier
Tim Wants To Go To School
Benjamin looked down at the boy before kneeling, pulling the latter’s tiny hand over to him, and
wrapping it with the handkerchief.
“Be careful next time.” The man’s voice became much gentler.
“Okay.”
The child blinked, feeling the man’s concern for him.
Benjamin then walked out of the ward while continuing to hold Tim’s hand.
“Where are we going, Mr. Graham?” the boy asked in confusion.
“To see your mommy.”
Benjamin shot him a glance.
Tim remained puzzled. But she’ll be back soon.
Still, he agreed to follow the man.
Gavin and the other children watched as the two left, their eyes widening.
“Mr. Graham can’t leave Mommy alone, can he? He just doesn’t want to admit it!” Jasper exclaimed
with a sigh, imitating the way adults spoke.
“Right? She’ll be back real soon, but he can’t even wait another second,” Oliver chimed in while
adjusting his glasses.
“Does Mr. Graham like Mommy now?”
Jesse stared at her older brothers with her large eyes.
Mary chuckled upon hearing the children’s conversation.
“Isn’t Mr. Graham your daddy? Why do you still call him Mr. Graham? Is he not together with your
mommy?”
She had initially thought Arissa and Benjamin were a married couple, but after spending more time with
them, she soon noticed that the two didn’t seem as close as husband and wife should be.
“Mommy’s not with Mr. Graham,” Jasper remarked with a smile.
“They’re not together?” Mary was bewildered.
“Nope. Mommy only came back to Chanaea a while ago,” Gavin explained. “She and Daddy barely
knew each other, and she was just working at Daddy’s company. They only started talking to each
other more after she found me.”
Mary was still in the dark. Does that mean Issa became pregnant before marriage?
That poor girl. It must’ve been so hard for her, having to raise four kids on her own.
Her heart broke for Arissa.
“Your mommy must’ve worked so hard to raise you on her own.”
Zachary nodded. “It was hard for her, but things are better now. Don’t feel like you’re troubling Mommy,
okay? She’ll be sad if you do.”
Mary was touched. “Okay. Thank you, children. I’m so thankful for your mommy too. She’s so much
better than my good-for-nothing son!”
“We’ll take good care of you from now on. Don’t you worry!”
Jesse beamed at her, looking utterly adorable as she revealed a toothless smile.
“Okay.” Mary was beyond elated.
“We shouldn’t disrupt her sleep,” Gavin reminded his siblings before turning to Mary. “Get some rest for
now.”
With a nod, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse sat next to the old woman.
Mary was delighted to see that.
Meanwhile, Benjamin had left the ward with Tim not to look for Arissa, but because he had something
to discuss with the boy.
He carried Tim to a chair on the hallway and sat down.
The child glanced up but quickly looked downward after meeting Benjamin’s gaze, feeling nervous.
What does he want to talk about?
Benjamin stroked the boy’s head.
“Tim.”
“Yes?”
Tim looked up again, only to hastily avert his gaze once more.
Seeing how nervous the boy looked, Benjamin put on a gentler demeanor.
“Have you been to school, Tim?”
Tim shook his head and kept his head low. Many other kids from the village don’t go to school.
Even those who do would only start going when they’re seven. I’m not old enough.
There are people who do send their kids to kindergarten, though. But we can’t afford it.
It costs a few thousand per semester. That’s way too much.
I still have to make sure Grandma gets treated. Will there even be enough money for me to go to
school when she gets better?
But I want to go to school like other kids do.
