Chapter 438 Artfully Avoiding The Bodyguards

“Excuse me, did you all see those mysterious men in black? They’re bad guys. They must be here to catch us. If

they ask you guys if you’ve ever seen us, please don’t tell them! Or else my grandma and I will die in their hands!”

Tears and snot streamed down Tim’s face as he said pitifully. It was a sight that could easily cause one to be

sympathetic.

“Don’t be afraid. We’ll keep your presence a secret. Go find a place to hide for now.” The nurses felt their hearts

ached for him and agreed to his plea readily as they ruffled his head.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!” With that, Tim darted away.

While no one noticed him, he scuttled back into the ward.

“Grandma, I’ll help you to the restroom. We’ll head to the hospital later.”

In truth, Tim had asked around and knew there would be a vehicle heading to the hospital to collect IV drips. He

figured they would be able to tag along without paying any fares.

“All right.” Mary followed Tim to the restroom.

Just as they headed in, some bodyguards came over.

Holding onto a snapshot of Tim, the guard questioned, “Has anyone seen this child?”

“No,” Hearing that reply, he threw another question. “Then, have you seen this old lady?”

“No.”

Hiding in a corner, Tim felt relieved after hearing how the cooperative crowd had pretended they had never seen

him before.

After the bodyguards left, the boy ran out and bowed politely. “Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much!”

“You’re welcome. Tim, do you need our help to call the police for you?” Various family members of the patients in

the ward kindly offered their help.

“No, that won’t be necessary.” He waved his hand dismissively. “Those people look too troublesome to handle, so

we will avoid them ourselves. Even if you call the police, they’ll be released soon after getting arrested. My

grandma and I will lead an even more difficult life if that’s the case. You guys have helped us out so much earlier,

and that’s more than enough. I’m very grateful for that!”

Tim’s words made perfect sense to the crowd. “You two have to be extra cautious then.”

“Sure thing.” Tim nodded his head and ran to the entrance to observe the situation.

Only upon making sure that those bodyguards had left did he run back and pick Mary up to get onto the vehicle

heading to the hospital.

About half an hour later, Benjamin gave another order since the search was still fruitless.

“Call Jack and the others to come over and help with the search here.”

At that, Ethen relayed his instructions at once. “Mr. Graham, we’ve almost combed the entire area. Perhaps the kid

has already left the village?”

Otherwise, how is it possible that we can’t find him?

Ethen was utterly baffled.

“As you mentioned, we ‘almost’ searched everywhere in the village. That means there are still places we have yet

to search,” Benjamin chided.

He then pulled out his laptop and accessed the village’s surveillance cameras to check if there were any leads.

“Have you allocated people to every entrance of this village?”

“I did. As long as Tim is still in the village, we’ll definitely be able to find him.” Ethen spoke in a convincing tone.

Hearing that, Benjamin carried on looking through the surveillance cameras.

Back at Yaleview, the five little ones had woken up and ran to find Arissa.

Seeing her sitting right before the computer, Zachary was shocked. “Mommy, did you not sleep for the whole

night?”

Gavin threw a glance at his brother. “How do you know that Mommy didn’t sleep?”

“Mommy was still wide awake when I woke up in the middle of the night to get some water,” Zachary explained, his

gaze still locked on Arissa.

Upon noticing the signs of fatigue on her face, the boy furrowed his brows.

I’m sure Mommy didn’t sleep.

“I was so busy I forgot about the time.” Arissa hurriedly tried to explain to the kids.

“Mommy, why didn’t you sleep?” Oliver turned to look at her concernedly.

Just then, the observant Jasper spotted the content on the computer screen and remarked, “Mommy is trying to

find our missing brother!”

Hearing that, the five little ones exchanged glances with one another.

Jesse walked over, appearing distressed. “Mommy, why did you not sleep? We’ll be upset if you’re tired out because

of that!”

Arissa caressed her daughter’s head. “I’m fine. You guys should go and wash up now.”

“Mommy, you can’t do that. You’ll get sick if you don’t sleep!” Gavin persuaded anxiously.

Arissa knew the kids were worried for her, so she nodded and promised, “I’ll pay more attention from now on,

okay? Now, go ahead and wash up. You guys still have to go to school later.”

Finishing her words, she stood up and prepared to take them back to their room to wash up.
