Chapter 847 Tim Cannot Get Used To Using The Toilet

“Mommy, Zachary is in the toilet!” Gavin reported. “Oh, I see.” Arissa’s lips curved into a smile.

She missed the kids, too. “Sweethearts, I’ll hang up and video-call you.”

“Sure!” Excited, the kids hung up swiftly. Before Arissa could video-call them, they video-called her instead. She quickly answered the call, and the kids’ faces appeared on the screen. The five of them beamed at her. “Mommy!”

“Ms. York!” Arissa’s heart softened when she heard their adorable voices. “Hey!” she greeted them happily. “Have you washed your faces?”

“Mommy, we have washed our faces!” Jasper answered swiftly. She glanced at the other kids, who nodded in unison. “Let me show you Great-grandaunt. She’s still sleeping!”

The kids nodded earnestly. Arissa went into the ward with her phone and showed them a sleeping Mary. After seeing Mary asleep, the kids were relieved.

Arissa then returned to the balcony. “Sweethearts, drink some warm water and eat some snacks. Do you still have food?”

The kids bobbed their heads. “Yes!” “Hurry, get something to eat. You have class soon. After school ends, I’ll bring you to the hospital,” Arissa told them.

“Mommy, you don’t have to go to work today?” Gavin’s eyes lit up. Arissa nodded. “Yes, I don’t have to work today.” “Is Daddy at the company?”

“Yes, he’s at the company.” “Mommy, why didn’t you go to work today? Did Mr. Graham give you a day off?” Oliver asked cheekily. “Yes, he gave me a day off so I don’t have to work today.” Arissa grinned.

Jesse’s eyes crinkled up in delight. “That means Mommy has time to play with us!” Arissa touched Jesse’s face on her phone screen. “I’m free today!”

Jesse couldn’t hide her delight. “Mommy, have you had lunch?” Jasper asked after squeezing his way between his siblings. “Yes. I’ve also taken a nap,” Arissa responded.

“Ms. York, have you been keeping Great-grandaunt company in the hospital all the while?” Tim questioned. “Yes, I’ve been here all the while. I have some free time today and decided to keep Great- grandaunt company.”

Arissa’s eyes were glued on the kids’ adorable faces, and she couldn’t look away. “Is Zachary still inside the bathroom?”

“Mommy, I’ll go get him!” Jesse ran to the bathroom and banged on the door. “Zachary, Mommy wants to talk to you!” Arissa was amused. “If he’s pooping, let him be. Stop urging him!”

Jasper giggled. “Mommy, Zachary is pooping. I smelled something awful.” Arissa was tickled. “Didn’t he open the window?”

“Yes. I think Zachary hasn’t pooped for a few days,” Oliver reported.

“How many days?” Arissa paused before asking, “Why didn’t he tell me about it? You need to poop at least once a day. What about the rest? Did you poop every day?”

Arissa felt guilty as she had recently neglected the kids. “Yes!” Gavin nodded profusely. Oliver and Jasper nodded, too. “What about you, Tim?”

“Me too!” Tim’s cheeks turned pink. Arissa raised a brow. “Are you sure?”

The boy had just left Rutaceae Village, so she was worried that he couldn’t get used to things here. “Yes. I used the restroom in Great-grandaunt’s ward!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Arissa was surprised. “We have bathrooms in our house. Did you poop in the ward every day?”

Tim flushed. “I-I’m not used to sitting down!”

Arissa nearly lost her composure. She touched her nose and assured him, “Sweetheart, you’ll get used to it soon. You need to get used to it. Back then, I couldn’t get used to sitting on the toilet bowl just like you. If you avoid it, you won’t get used to it, ever!”

The bathrooms at home were equipped with toilet bowls. Every time Tim entered the bathroom, he would spend some time inside. Thus, she thought he had gotten used to it.

“Okay!” Tim bobbed his head.

“I don’t like it, either. I don’t feel like pooping when I sit down,” Jasper said as his lips twitched.

Arissa was both amused and exasperated at their exchange.

Why did he suddenly say that?
