Tim looked at them and said, “I saw Mr. Graham's bodyguards at the hospital. However, I thought they were bad guys or Raphael's debtors. Thus, I asked the doctors and nurses to lie that they did not see me.”
“What happened after that?” Jasper asked curiously.
Gavin and Zachary also looked at Tim with anticipation.
“When Great-grandaunt and I were in a car to head to a clinic, the bodyguards blocked the road. Still, we managed to slip past and arrive at Northstream. However, we could not escape them as they came to look for us at the clinic. They found us there. There was an advertisement on the television with a photo...” Tim explained.
Then, he looked at the four children and said, “I think it was a photo of one of you!”
Gavin nodded. “They might have used one of our photos. Daddy and Mommy had been searching for you. Since they found out about you, they began searching everywhere for you.”
“How did Mr. Graham find out where I was?” Tim was curious about this. After all, Dellmoor was quite far from Northstream.
Gavin exchanged glances with the others before saying, “You have to ask Daddy about this!”
“Don't worry. Daddy is brilliant. He knew that Raphael bullied you and Great-grandaunt, so he will teach Raphael a lesson for you,” Gavin added firmly and was confident that Benjamin could do it.
“Okay!” Tim nodded in agreement. After all, he did not want Raphael to be free again.
He knew Raphael would not spare him and Mary if he found them again.
“I think Mr. Graham went out. Mr. Watts seemed to have left with them too, but I don't know what they are doing.” Oliver glanced at them.
“There's no hurry. We can wait until Mr. Graham is back before telling him. Other than that, we can call him on the phone too!” Zachary said.
“I'll call Daddy!” Gavin glanced at them to see if they object to him asking Benjamin where he was.
Zachary and the others did not object.
Thus, Gavin called Benjamin on the phone.
“What is the matter?” Benjamin's voice soon came from the phone. The children exchanged glances.
Gavin sounded solemn. “Where are you? We would like to talk to you about something!”
“I'll be back soon. What is it? You can tell me now!” Benjamin thought it was something urgent and gave his son permission to speak.
“It's okay. I will tell you once you're back!” Gavin replied and hung up.
Benjamin frowned when he heard a beeping noise from the other end. “This brat!”
Ethen glanced at him. “Mr. Graham, I think Gavin misses you!”
Benjamin snorted and glanced back at Ethen. “Did he behave like this because he misses me?”
Ethen had a strong desire to live, so he nodded fervently. “Yes, Gavin was too shy to admit it, so he called you with the excuse of wanting to tell you something!”
“Why am I not aware of that?” Benjamin scoffed. Previously, Gavin would not speak when he called or would straightaway tell him to come home.
He would never find an excuse. Furthermore, he is now with his mother. There is also Zachary and the other children. Thus, he would not miss me.
Benjamin grumbled quietly in his mind.
Arissa returned to Mary's room and saw only Jesse there. His five brothers were missing. “Jesse, where are your brothers?”
“They are probably next door!” Then, Jesse rushed to her and said, “Mommy, I will check on them for you!”
Arissa smiled and patted Jesse's head.
Then, Jesse ran out of the room. He came back in a while and said, “Mommy, Gavin and the others are all there!”
“What are they doing there?” Arissa was curious.
Jesse scratched his head and answered adorably, “I think they are calling Mr. Graham!”
Arissa was stunned upon hearing Jesse's answer. Could they be missing Benjamin?
She was curious and decided to check on them.
After all, they did not seem to care about Benjamin when he was around. It felt far-fetched that they missed him.
It might be believable if Gavin missed Benjamin, but that did not seem possible for the other four children.
The children had finished the call when Arissa came to the room.
They sounded guilty when they saw her. “Mommy!”
Arissa noticed the children exchanging glances. “Why do you all look guilty?”
The five children immediately shook their heads.
