Chapter 451 The Kid Got Away Again
“All right… We’ll wait for him, then.”
Benjamin’s heart was racing as he stared at the door.
My son is right behind that door! All I have to do is open it, and I’ll be able to see him!
Both Mary and the doctor assumed Ethen had come for a consultation, but Tim didn’t think so.
His face went pale the moment he saw the familiar-looking bodyguards when Ethen stepped out just now.
The fact that Ethen stared right at him upon entering the room wasn’t helping either.
The bad guys have found us here? This is bad… I have to get us out of here!
Oblivious to the nervous look on his face, the doctor continued going through Mary’s diagnosis.
After racking his brain for a bit, Tim came up with a brilliant idea. “Grandma, my tummy hurts!” he shouted while clutching at his stomach.
“What’s wrong?” Mary asked anxiously.
“I… I need to use the bathroom…” Tim mumbled with his face all red.
He even let out a fart just to make it look even more convincing.
“There’s a restroom in the back. Go on in, hurry!” the doctor urged him.
“Sorry, doctor. I’ll take him to the restroom right away!”
Feeling worried about the boy’s well-being, Mary decided to accompany him to the restroom.
“The bad guys are here, Grandma! We should hide and wait till they’re gone before returning to the doctor,” Tim whispered into her ear the moment they went to the back.
“Huh? They’re here? How do you know that?” Mary grew anxious as well.
“The man that came in earlier is one of the bad guys! He’s here to capture us!” Tim explained.
“Oh, my… T-Then, we should… Um…”
Mary was panicking so much that she didn’t know where to go.
“Don’t worry, Grandma! I’ll get us out of here! Let’s exit from this side!”
Tim then observed their surroundings and led Mary out of there without being seen by Benjamin’s men.
Unfortunately for them, he had no idea that the surveillance cameras caught them both on tape.
After waiting for a while, Benjamin motioned at Ethen to check on them again.
“The doctor is probably still going through the old lady’s medical report, Mr. Graham.”
Still feeling uneasy, Benjamin ordered, “Get in there and keep watch over him.”
They must’ve noticed us if they managed to slip out of town undetected. It’s possible for them to go into hiding again now that they know we’ve found them.
Ethen did as told and entered the consultation room, only to panic when he saw no sign of Mary and Tim.
“Doctor, where did the old lady and child go?” he asked anxiously.
The doctor paused for a moment before pointing behind him as he replied, “The boy had a stomachache, so I let them use the restroom in the back.”
The look on Ethen’s face changed instantly upon hearing that.
Oh, no… Please don’t tell me they’ve escaped again!
Benjamin came rushing into the consultation room the moment he heard Ethen yell in surprise.
What? Did that boy get away again? He thought to himself with a frown when he saw Ethen running toward the other side.
“Are you here for a consultation, sir?” the doctor asked when he saw Benjamin barging in.
Benjamin glanced at the doctor in response, and his gaze fell upon the medical report on the desk.
“What disease does the old lady have?” he asked solemnly.
“How are you related to the old lady?” the doctor asked as he couldn’t afford to reveal his patient’s private information.
“That boy is my son!” Benjamin replied impatiently.
The doctor froze briefly in shock upon hearing that. However, upon taking a closer look at Benjamin’s face, he realized how similar the two of them looked.
Thinking that the old woman was Benjamin’s mother, the doctor felt angry when he recalled how pitiful Mary and Tim were.
Oh, I’ve seen way too many people like him… They only focus on their career and end up neglecting their family!
“Your mother’s condition is rather complicated and serious. I’m afraid she won’t be getting better any time soon.”
Benjamin furrowed his brows. “What’s her condition?”
The doctor tapped on the table and motioned for Benjamin to sit down.
Benjamin hesitated for a moment, but pulled up a chair and sat down anyway.
The doctor then handed him the medical report and said, “Take a look at it yourself!”
Benjamin picked up the medical report and looked straight at the last section.
