You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 438

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?”
