Chapter 619: I Am Content When My Family Is Together


    Chapter 619: I am Content When My Family is Together


    The ce where Yanis lived was only a short distance from St. Mary Hospital. It took her only ten


    minutes to walk to the ward where Reed and Marnon were talking when she arrived.


    As soon as Yanis entered the room, Reed looked up and greeted her, "Yanis, you''re here." He then


    walked over and took something from Yanis'' hand before inviting her to sit down.


    Just as Yanis was about to say hello to Marnon, one of Marnon''s questions caught her off guard.


    "Reed, who is she?" Marnon asked while looking at Reed.


    Upon hearing this question from Marnon, Yanis turned towards Reed for an answer. With a smile on


    her face, Reed replied, "Mom, she''s Yanis. She stayed with us for quite some time before; don''t you


    remember?"


    Marnon seemed lost in thought for a moment as she gazed at Yanis'' face before finally nodding in


    agreement,"Oh yes! I remember now."


    Afterwards, Marnon asked, "Why did youe alone?" Thinking that Marnon remembered Zane, Yanis


    responded by saying,"He''s busy at work."


    Marnon eximed, "But isn''t he just around one year old? How could he be busy with work?"


    "Mom!"Reed shouted out loud trying to remind her mother, but it seemed like there was no response


    It suddenly dawned on Yanis that Marlon must have been referring back when they were still living in


    Viteto. Yanis felt cold all over again, even though so much time had passed since then. The baby... was


    so close yet never got a chance to see this beautiful world before passing away.


    Seeing that Yanin wasn''t responding, Maron stopped talking all of sudden. It became quiet. Reed


    quickly spoke up:"Mom, you should eat first. You said you were hungry, right?" She then ced food on


    the table and handed Marlon a fork. Marnon responded with a nod, looking at Yanis. "Have you eaten


    yet?"


    The conversation seemed casual, as if nothing was wrong.


    Yanis nodded. "I already ate. You go ahead."


    Marnon ate in silence, just like before.


    Reed looked at Yanis and said, "Yanis, why don''t you eat some more?"


    Yanis shook her head. "You go ahead. I already ate beforeing here."


    In fact, Yanis wasn''t very hungry and had only taken a few bites of food before rushing to the hospital.


    Now she had even less appetite.

    Reed nced at Yanis several times and wanted to say something, but stopped when she saw that


    Yanis seemed distracted.


    After their meal, Marnon said that she wanted to sleep and went straight to bed without another word.


    Reed cleaned up the table and then escorted Yanis to the elevator door.


    "Yanis," Reed said as they walked. "Don''t take my mother''s words too seriously. Her memory has been


    a bit jumbled these past few days; sometimes she remembers my father and asks when he''ll be back."


    Yanis didn''t know how to feel about Reed''s words; she just felt heavy-hearted.


    "What about everything else?" asked Yanis after a moment of silence between them.


    "Everything else is normal enough," replied Reed with a shrug. "It''s just her memory that''s messed up -


    one minute she remembers this thing or person, then it changes againter on." Reed briefly exined


    Marnon''s condition.


    After listening quietly for some time, Yanis sighed softly: "Is Mitching tonight?"


    "Yeah," confirmed Reed with a nod."Sometimes Natashaes along with Payne too, so I can rest


    while they work. My brother works hard all day long."


    Though she had thought of hiring a nurse, Yannis swallowed her words again. She had done enough


    by making sure Mitch epted what she was doing now. If she offered more help, it would be difficult


    for them to agree.


    So Yannis didn''t say anything more in front of Reed.


    "Oh yeah, I asked my friend to help Mitch, Taylor and Payne find a school. If you want me to do


    anything else, you can tell me. I''ll help you…"


    "I don''t really have anything specific in mind," replied Reed softly."I just hope my mom will get better


    soon. That''s all I care about – being together as family. That''s enough for me too. I don''t want much


    else besides that. Yannis, don''t worry yourself over it. Take care of yourself first."Yanis reached out and


    lightly touched Reed''s head, saying softly, "Girls always have to n for their future."


    Reed nodded. "I know that. If I ever want to do something in the future, I''ll ask you for advice."


    Yanis replied with a sound of agreement. "Sure thing. Just let me know anytime."


    The two chatted for a while in the elevator before Yanis left the hospital.


    After leaving the hospital, Yanis had intended to go back to her shop but received a call from Myles on


    the way. He said he had found someone who could help with finding people and schools, but he was


    currently not in Manches City, so he asked Yanis to meet with them first and exin Mia''s situation, so


    they would have an idea.


    After getting the address, phone number, and name of the person she needed to meet from Myles,


    Yanis drove straight there.


    The meeting ce was at a tea house on the edge of Manches City Center.


    When she heard it was at a tea house, Yanis subconsciously thought that it would be an older man


    around forty years old, since men around that age usually develop a habit of drinking tea. But when she


    saw him in person, she realized she was wrong.


    Drinking tea doesn''t necessarily mean anything about age.


    The man looked like he was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old without even thirty yet.


    "Hello, Mr. Lamb, I''m Yanis," greeted Yanis.


    Marquis stood up and shook hands with her, politely saying: "Hello Miss Thompson, I''m Marquis


    Lamb."


    After introducing themselves properly they both took their seats.


    "Myles told me about the situation, but his exnation wasn''tplete enough, so I wanted more


    detailed information about these children," said Marquis seriously after sitting down again. "Although


    my school is private, we still need to understand certain background information clearly."


    Yanis nodded understandingly: "I get it."


    Marquis seemed different from anyone else whom Yannis had met before; when talking about


    business, he looked very serious without any smile orugh.


    But after finishing what needed to be discussed, his lips curved into a smile that made him look totally


    different than just now; like someone who can split into two personalities - one being serious during


    work time, while another being rxed afterwards.


    However, Yanis also understood some things Marquis mentioned during their conversation.
