Soon, it was already the end of school, and the children still had not made any progress.
Propping his chin on his hand and sighing, Jasper suggested “I wonder how long we will take given that there is so
much surveillance footage to go through. Should we get Daddy's help? Since he knows so many people, I'm sure
our progress would be faster with his help.”
Gavin looked at his brother and replied, “Well, his men might have already started investigating.”
Benjamin's subordinates had indeed already started looking into the matter as well, but they were faced with the
same problem as the kids.
They had also lost track of Danna at the same location.
Carrying their school bags, the five little ones headed to the school gate to wait for their parents to pick them up.
While walking, they overheard their classmates' conversation. “My dad told me that he is coming to pick me up in
his new car today. Your dad's car is so old. Is he thinking of changing his car soon?”
“My dad's car is still working, so why would he change it? Besides, I think my dad's car is really cool!”
Changing cars?
Zachary's eyes lit up when he heard that.
“Could that woman have switched cars?” he asked Gavin, realizing that criminals usually used more than one car
while committing their acts. That was especially likely in Danna's case, given that she had kidnapped Benjamin's

Gavin was surprised at his brother's theory, thinking that there was indeed such a possibility.
“It's quite likely!”
Oliver and Jasper's eyes widened as well. “Let's go home quickly and re-investigate!”
The five little ones ran toward the school gate and saw Darius there.
They rushed toward the man at once and greeted happily, “Grandpa!”
“Hey!” Darius hugged his grandchildren while smiling from ear to ear.
“Grandpa, why are you here? Mommy promised that she would come and pick us up,” Jesse asked, remembering
her conversation with Arissa that morning.
Darius brushed his finger against the girl's nose lightly and replied, “Your mommy is busy right now. Aren't you
happy to see me?”
“Of course, I'm happy!” Jesse answered sweetly with a wide smile.
Darius beamed with delight when he heard that.
“Old Mr. Graham, shall we get the kids into the car first?” Edwin reminded.
“Let's get into the car first! Come on!”
Darius led the kids into the car, feeling cheerful.
“Grandpa, did you see Mommy before you came here?”
Gavin was the last to get into the car after his younger siblings.
“I did, I came from your house at Yaleview. Both your mommy and daddy are not free.”
After the kids got into the car, Darius got in and sat at the back with Jesse on his lap.
“But Mommy promised that she would pick us up.” Jasper pouted, feeling upset.
Oliver snorted softly as well, saying, “Seems like Mommy just broke her promise again.”
Darius and Edwin both chuckled at the boys' comments.
“Your mommy isn't feeling well, that's why she didn't come. She didn't do it on purpose,” Darius explained to the
kids.
“What?”
The five children had worried expressions on their faces when they heard that.
“What happened to Mommy?” Zachary asked, staring at his grandfather.
“Her blood pressure was a bit low, but your Uncle Shaun had already given her an injection.”
Darius patted the children's heads, comforting them.
“Mommy must be too worried about our brother, that's why she fell sick!” Oliver frowned.
Gavin also had a crease between his brows as he urged the driver, “Please start driving. We need to get home as
soon as possible!”
“Start driving,” Darius instructed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArissa failed to pick up the kids from school again. Not only had she missed the end of the school day, but she had
also overslept.
When the five little ones got back, they kept completely silent upon noticing that their mother had an IV drip in her
arm and was still sleeping.
As Gavin was worried, he still decided to ask Benjamin about Arissa's condition even though he saw that the man
was preoccupied with work.
“What's wrong with Mommy?”
Benjamin looked up and fixed his gaze on his son before answering, “It's just low blood pressure. She will be fine
after getting the IV drip.”
His face taut with concern, Gavin continued asking, “Did you ask my mommy to work again?”
Although he was being reproached by his son, Benjamin was not angry at all.
“I didn't. She went out to look for your younger brother.”
Gavin froze for a while before turning around and exchanging glances with his siblings.
“Let's go.”
After saying that, Gavin led his brothers and sister out of the room.
Benjamin looked at his kids before looking toward Arissa. Seeing that her IV drip treatment was not yet completed,
he returned to his work.
