Chapter 551 No Trouble

 

Arissa glanced at the clock and was startled to find that it was already very late.

 

She went over to Mary. “What would you like for dinner, Mary?”

“Let’s just eat at the hospital. As I’m not a big eater, there’s no need to trouble yourselves for me.”

Mary thought about the amount of food she had brought back at noon and felt it was a waste if she did not finish it.

“It’s no trouble,” Arissa said as she tucked Mary’s quilt in for her. “We want some dinner anyway. There’s no trouble in having you join us. I’m just happy to be able to care for you. Are you hungry now? I’m about to head to the hospital cafeteria to get a snack myself.”

Mary shook her head. “I’m not hungry. I just had some breakfast food with you, remember? That hasn’t even been digested yet!”

Arissa did not expect Benjamin to follow through with his promise. “What is it?”

 

“It’s a delicacy around these parts.” Ethen placed the box on the coffee table as he spoke. “These are for you and the children.”

Arissa came over. “Is there anything Mary can have?”

“I asked Mr. Bailey. He said she could have these saltine crackers.”
