Chapter 769 Neither Of Them Spoke
“In that case, you should hurry down and have your breakfast,” Arissa said with a smile, motioning for them to go
downstairs. “Okay!”
With that, the children sprinted down the stairs immediately. “Graham, Mr. Frank, come and have breakfast too,”
she called out, then followed the kids downstairs. Sensing her aloof attitude, Benjamin frowned, and his handsome
face darkened.
Ethen sneaked a glance at him. “Mr. Graham, let’s go down for breakfast.” Benjamin radiated an icy-cold aura as
he rose to his feet and strode out of the children’s room. Ethen dared not utter a single word as he followed the
former.
Once downstairs, Arissa rushed the kids through breakfast, then got ready to take them to the hospital. However,
she was shocked to see Benjamin follow them. “Let’s go together.”
He shot her a glance before getting into the car. The six children’s gazes darted between the two of them. Then,
they called out to Arissa enthusiastically, “Hurry up!”
“Okay.” Arissa leaned down and got into the car. The children sat in the middle. “Has Grandaunt’s condition been
stable these past couple of days?” Benjamin asked. She did not respond.

appetite has been good too.” Benjamin nodded, then took his tablet and started working.
Arissa kept staring at her phone. Bradley still had not contacted her, so she was a little worried. “Mommy, what are
you looking at?” Zachary asked, craning his neck to look at her phone. She turned to him and asked, “Have you
been in touch with Mr. Hinton?”
Zachary shook his head. Oliver was also puzzled. “He hasn’t contacted us since we got back. We can’t reach him on
WhatsApp either.”
Jasper nodded. “That’s so strange!”
“Mommy, you don’t think something happened to him, do you?” Jesse asked, also starting to feel
concerned. Arissa’s heart sank. “I’ll give Mr. Griffin a call.”
Tim blinked and asked in surprise, “Is he still at Rutaceae Village?”

Arissa nodded. She felt quite uneasy, as Bradley had never been unreachable for several days. “Bradley is fine. It’s
just that the cell tower over there is down,” Benjamin said while casting her a quick look.
Stunned, she turned to stare at him. “How do you know that?”
“Ethen contacted someone about building a house,” he reminded her.
“Oh,” she murmured, gazing at him.
Then she turned back to the front. No wonder I haven’t been able to get in touch with him.
Arissa wanted to ask how long the cell tower had been down. However, she stopped when she saw him with his
head lowered over the tablet and working away.
“Don’t worry, Mommy. Mr. Hinton will definitely contact you as soon as the cell tower is fixed,” Gavin said
reassuringly.
She nodded.
When they arrived at the hospital, Benjamin followed them upstairs to visit Mary. The elderly lady was delighted to
see that he had come too.
They stayed at the hospital for a short while before sending the children to school.
Benjamin and Arissa took the kids to the school gate and waited until they entered the school campus before
leaving for the office.
Neither of them spoke in the car, and Ethen felt under immense pressure as he drove.

hardly dared to breathe because the air was so thick with tension.
Arissa was scrolling through her phone when she stumbled upon a blog post exposing what happened at the school.
It was already trending.
She frowned and tapped on it to read the post, only to find it condemned the principal and her children for bullying
others.
She was infuriated.
It’s evident they hired a ghostwriter!
Holding her phone in front of Benjamin, she asked, “Do you know about this?”
His eyes flashed when he saw the trending article. Then he narrowed his eyes as they glinted coldly.
“Ethen, sue those parents for defamation.”
“Got it,” Ethen replied, making a mental note.
Arissa shot Benjamin a look. “That’s it?”
The children are already getting dragged through the mud even though they’re innocent!
He glanced at the fury etched across her face, then said solemnly, “I’ll take care of it.”
She looked at him. Trusting his words, she nodded.
“Sorry to trouble you.”
