Tim Is Visibly Nervous
“I didn’t have the money to support his studies. Besides, he saved all money that he earned for my
treatment instead of going to school…”
Feeling heartbroken, Mary lowered her head and wiped her tears away.
“Tim has suffered a lot with us. Hence, I think it’s best to let him go to school. If he dys his studies
any longer, I’m worried he can’t catch up with others. Okay, I’ll go to Dellmoor with you…”
Arissa was delighted upon hearing it. “Well, we’ll tie you up to bring you back even if you refuse. I let
you know earlier on so that you could be mentally prepared!”
Mary almost burst intoughter. “You silly goose!”
“I’ll treat you as my family member and you’ll be my grandaunt from now on!”
Feeling touched by Arissa’s sincerity, Mary nodded non-stop. “Sure, I’m d you’re willing to ept
me.”
“Well, it’s our good fortune to meet a kind-hearted woman like you!”
Wrapping her arm around Mary’s, Arissa continued to coax Mary to put her mind at ease.
“Grandaunt, you can stay with us after you’ve recovered. Besides, we’re always busy working and don’t
have enough time to take care of the kids. Hence, we’ll be d if you can help us. If you can’t get used
to living in Dellmoor, feel free toe home for some time before returning to the city.”
After a while, Arissa added, “We can bring our kids here during the holidays. By the way, I’ve bought
the house but rarely stay here. If you don’t mind, can you asionally clean the house for us when
you’re here?”
“Sure!” Mary nodded with a beam.
“Grandaunt, Tim learned a lot by working on the farm with you. He is lucky to have met you. I can’t
imagine what will happen to him if he is sold by a human trafficker and tortured by others in another
country. Hence, I’m grateful that he’s in good shape.”
Arissa added, “Besides, Tim has lived a better life than that of other kids from poor viges. I grew up
in a vige when I was young. Despite being poor, Tim has learned to be more understanding than
other kids. Am I right?”
“Yes, Tim is a considerate child. After James passed away, I fell sick and couldn’t work much. Since
then, Tim has helped me with nearly everything. My useless son never cared about us. All the more so,
he even asked for money and snatched Tim’s hard-earned money…”
Mary was irritated and heartbroken when she recalled how Raphael treated them as though they were
his enemies.
Arissa was shocked upon realizing that Raphael wasn’t as good as Tim described.
Tim used to tell me that Raphael is in the police station… It can’t be that…
At that moment, Arissa felt like asking Mary why Raphael would be in the police station.
Nheless, Arissa eventually bit her tongue when she noticed that Mary was emotional. Moreover,
she wasn’t sure if Mary knew about it.
Then, Arissa patted Mary’s back and consoled her. “Grandaunt, please don’t get worked up over this.
We won’t let you live a life like that anymore.”

“Thank you! Thank you!” Mary was beyond grateful.
“My son is useless. Please don’t get in touch with him, for he might disturb you from time to time. Also,
don’t give him money for Tim’s sake…”
“Grandma!”
Just then, Tim came in. He was seemingly a little nervous after overhearing their conversation about
Raphael.
“What are you guys talking about?”
Caressing Tim’s head, Mary replied, “We’re talking about you!”
Tim anxiously nced at Arissa. Is Mommy aware that I have been toiling on the farm and beaten by
Raphael?
Noticing that Tim fidgeted, Arissa squatted down and held his shoulder.
“Do you have any secret that you can’t tell me?”
Biting his lips, Tim gazed at Arissa silently for a while.
Secondster, Tim turned to Mary and said, “Grandma, please don’t talk too much because you have
to rest more!”
While Tim shot her a worried look, Mary replied with a smile, “I didn’t talk much!”
With that, Mary kept silent.
Arissa was aware that she didn’t know a lot of things about Tim. Therefore, she didn’t dwell on Raphael
but decided to take some time to find out what Tim had gone through.
