Tim was unsure what to do when Arissa unexpectedly wept in her sleep.

The little boy wiped the tears off her cheeks as he had no idea how to console her. He also patted her back gently like how she did to him earlier. “Don't cry, Ms. York!”

“Ms. York, please don't cry!”

Tim repeated the same line over and again because he had never comforted anyone before.

Arissa eventually calmed down and stopped crying when she felt the child was next to her.

“I love you, Sweetheart-” After mumbling a few sentences, she fell asleep once again.

Tim whispered with blushed cheeks, “I like you too!”

After making sure Arissa was out like a light, the little boy carefully crawled out of her arms and covered her in a blanket.

He then washed his face and went to the ward next door.

He noticed Mary had fallen asleep even though she was still on an IV drip. Shaun, who was supposed to accompany Mary, was sleeping like a log on the couch.

Tim sat by the bed and gently stroked the back of her hand with a catheter.

Mary woke up and was surprised to see the boy sitting next to her. “Tim? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be taking your nap?”

“I've taken my nap, Grandma!” Tim answered steadily.

He was not used to taking naps since he had to work during the day, but having Arissa by his side, he managed to sleep for nearly thirty minutes.

“Come closer!” Mary adjusted her position on the bed and gestured for Tim to sit closer.

“No, Grandma. I'm scared of knocking over the needle!”

“Come on, get up here now. I want to talk to you!” Mary looked at him and called him over.

Tim crawled up, lay next to Mary, and hugged her.

Mary smiled and embraced the little boy.

“Tim, Ms. York is your mommy, and she's the woman who gave birth to you. You mustn't blame her for dumping you. You have to understand that she didn't do it on purpose!”

Mary lowered her eyes to look at the child in her arms. Though she was a little surprised to see how calm he was, she decided to explain to him what had happened.

Mary explained, “You see, someone sabotaged your mom, and there was nothing she could do back then. The woman, who wanted to marry your dad, locked your mom up because she wanted to snatch the baby after she had given birth.”
