Chapter 448 The Boy Escapes Again
Jonathan frowned as he wondered why Benjamin didn’t come with them.
“Okay, this should be easy if you have evidence.”
Not only did Danna steal Benjamin’s child, but she even got him killed.
That alone was enough for them to give her the heaviest sentence possible.
Arissa’s eyes were filled with hatred as she clenched her fists. “I hope that Danna can be brought to justice as soon
as possible, Mr. Patterson.”
“Please be patient, Mrs. Graham. There are certain procedures that we need to go through. I’ve already submitted
the request, and I’ll inform you as soon as I get a confirmation on the date for the court hearing. Right now, what
we need to do is focus on gathering as much evidence as possible,” Jonathan reassured her.
Still feeling worried about Arissa, Shaun secretly sent Benjamin a text while she wasn’t looking.

Unfortunately, Benjamin was so busy with the search that he didn’t notice it.
“Any news, Ethen?” he asked while standing next to the border with a pair of shades on.
“We’ve checked all the cars that came through here, but we haven’t found anything!” Ethen replied with a frown.
He, too, found it puzzling how a child could go missing without a trace in such a small town.
Suddenly, an ambulance happened to be heading their way.
The kid inside the vehicle panicked and quickly hid himself when he recognized them as the guys looking for him.
“Mister, please don’t tell them that you’ve seen Grandma and me! They’re bad guys!”
The driver found his request a little strange and tried to reassure him, “Those are policemen, Tim. They’re not bad
guys, so you don’t have to be afraid. They’re probably investigating something else.”
Hearing that, Tim glanced out the window and saw actual policemen standing there.
Policemen? What are those bad guys doing with the police? Are they in cahoots?
Believing that they were Raphael’s men, Tim insisted, “My uncle owes a lot of money due to his gambling. He hit
me and Grandma yesterday because we couldn’t give him any money. Those guys are here to capture me and use
me to repay the debt! Please help us out, mister! Grandma needs to see a doctor, so I can’t afford to let them take
me away!”
He was so afraid of being captured that he had fear written all over his face.
“Will you please help us out, young man? They can do whatever they want with me, but Tim is only five years old!
Please don’t let them take him away! How about you turn the car around now? We’ll forget about heading into the
city!” Mary pleaded.
She, too, was convinced that they were bad guys as she was still traumatized by the debt collectors smashing up
their house.
“They’ll only get suspicious if we turn back now. I suggest you two keep yourselves hidden as we pass them by. Who
knows, maybe they won’t notice you two,” the driver replied with a sigh when he saw the policemen in front.
It wasn’t uncommon for him to hear of similar cases at the clinic, so he really did sympathize with them.
“Thank you, mister!” Tim exclaimed gratefully.
He then helped hide Mary with a blanket before climbing into a box on the side.
“Please hurry it up, gentlemen! I’m in a hurry to replenish my medical supplies here! The clinic needs it urgently!”
the driver called out to the policemen as he pulled up at the border.

Tim helped Mary get out of the ambulance when they got far enough from the border.
“Thank you, mister!”
“Thank you very much, young man!”
“Don’t mention it!” the driver said as he dropped them off at the hospital.
Tim thanked him again before helping Mary into the hospital to get her treated.
Meanwhile, Benjamin was stressed out of his mind as he continued searching the town.
Where the heck could this child have gone? Could we have scared him off with our intimidating presence?
With that in mind, Benjamin glanced at his bodyguard before calling out to his assistant, “Ethen!”
Ethen came running over immediately. “Yes, Mr. Graham?”
“Go through the surveillance camera footage carefully once more. Also, tell them to be mindful of their expressions
when searching. We don’t want to scare the people here. We should also try to advertise our search here.”
“Understood!”
With that, Ethen quickly ran off to give the orders.
