âDonât worry about that. Have you reached the hotel?â
Benjaminâs deep voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
Arissa glanced out the car window, only to see that they were still on the way.
âNope.â
âAll right, then. Iâll be hanging up if thereâs nothing else.â
Pausing for a second, Benjamin then added, âIâve got a conference call.â
âAh, I see!â With that, Arissa had no choice but to hang up.
It was only about ten minutes later that they arrived at the hotel.
A room was already reserved for them, and Ethen led them up to the suite.
âRest earlier, Ms. York.â
Arissa nodded. âYouâve also worked very hard, so rest earlier.â
Ethen flashed her a smile. âSure!â
He still had to return to the hospital, but he only left after bidding the five children farewell.
âBradley, youâve also worked hard, so go and rest!â Arissa said to Bradley as well.
âOkay!â Bradley nodded in agreement.
âOh yes, Bradley, since weâve found Tim, tell the rest that they can stop searching,â Arissa prompted.
Hearing that, Bradley chuckled. âI already did that.â
Arissa nodded in approval and urged, âGo and rest, quick! If thereâs anything else, weâll talk about it tomorrow.â
âGood night!â Bradley said to them all.
âGood night, Mr. Hinton!â the five children replied.
âHurry up and go take a shower!â Arissa ordered the children after closing the door.
The five children glanced at her and suggested, âMommy, you go first. Weâll shower after youâre done.â
Chortling, Arissa remarked, âThere are two bathrooms, so letâs shower at the same time!â
The five children studied their surroundings, only to discover that there was also a bathroom outside.
âIn that case, weâll use the bathroom outside while you shower in the en suite bathroom, Mommy.â
âOkay!â
Arissa followed the children to the bathroom and helped them to adjust the water temperature beforeshe headed to the bathroom in the master bedroom for a shower.
Meanwhile, Benjamin waited until Mary was asleep before he asked Tim to step out with him.
Tim tucked the covers around Mary before he whirled around and exited the room.
âYou asked for me, Mr. Graham?â
Tim stared at Benjamin, neither happy nor angry, his voice placid.
Benjamin swept his gaze over him and patted him on the head. Then, he led him to the adjacent room by the shoulders.
âLetâs talk in the adjacent room.â
Eyeing the man, Tim followed him to the adjacent room with apprehension building within him.
I wonder what he wants to say to me.
Benjamin went to the couch and sat down. Seeing that Tim was a touch nervous, he scooped the latter up to sit next to him.
âHave some food!â
Ethen brought supper when he returned a while ago.
Benjamin took a piece of chicken wing for Tim.
Swallowing, Tim shook his head. âIâm not hungry.â
The More the Merrier Benjamin stared at him for a long while before asking, âDo you want me to feed you?â
While saying that, he brought it right to Timâs mouth.
Stunned, Tim could only take it from the man. He lowered his head and munched on the chicken wing.
It was exceedingly fragrant and delicious.
As he recalled Mary in the adjacent room, his appetite faded, for he felt guilty as though he was eating behind her back.
Benjamin stroked his head and inquired, âIs it good?â
Tim pursed his lips. After a while, he nodded honestly. âYeah.â
âThen, why arenât you eating anymore?â Benjamin quirked an eyebrow.
Stealing a glance at the man, Tim dipped his head. âCan I keep some for Grandma?â
Benjaminâs heart jolted, and a myriad of feelings brewed within him.
âIt wonât taste nice when itâs cool, so you eat it. When your grandma wakes up tomorrow, Iâll have someone buy it for her.â
Tim bit his lip before glancing at the chicken wing in his hand. At the end of the day, he was still a child, so he was no match for the temptation of food.
âThank you, Mr. Graham!â
At his address, Benjaminâs gaze flickered imperceptibly. Well, Iâm afraid that he wonât change his address of me so easily.
The look in his eyes was tender as he watched the little boy munch on the chicken wing.
After taking a few bites, Tim turned and looked at the man. âThere is another one, Mr. Graham!â
Benjamin reclined and leaned back against the couch. âI donât like it. You can finish everything! Later, Iâve got something to tell you.â
Upon hearing that, Tim frowned. âWhat do you want to say to me, Mr. Graham?â
