Chapter 415 Their Brother Has Died
Upon returning to his bedroom, Benjamin saw that the IV drip had depleted, so he instructed Shaun to remove the needle from Arissa’s arm.
“Why hasn’t she woken up?” Benjamin asked. He was getting worried as Arissa seemed to have been sleeping for a long time.
Shaun saw his deeply-furrowed brow and laughed. “It’s probably due to the IV drip. Just let Mrs. Graham sleep for a little bit more.”
Benjamin cast a doubtful glance at the doctor.
He then tucked Arissa’s arm under the blanket before walking to the sofa to continue with his work.
Shaun smiled as he watched Benjamin and saw how devoted he was to her.
“You can leave once you’re done packing,” Benjamin said in a low voice without lifting his head.
Shaun slung his medical box over his shoulder and said while rubbing his nose, “I think I hear the boys coming home earlier. I’ll go play with them.”
Benjamin’s eyes glinted as he thought about how mysteriously the kids had been behaving earlier. Instead of keeping vigil at their mother’s bedside, they’re hiding in their room. What on earth are they up to?
Shaun returned to his room to put down his medical box before going downstairs to look for the children.
However, he only found Jesse skateboarding by herself.
Fascinated by how skillful she was on the skateboard, Shaun forgot about looking for the four boys.
Meanwhile, Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper continued to stay holed up in the room trying to trace Danna’s whereabouts from the surveillance footage.
About half an hour later, they finally tracked her down.
They watched as Danna’s car drove all the way to an abandoned building, and then to her other apartment.
After a few hours, Danna could be seen holding a child in her arms as she got into her car hurriedly before rushing to the hospital.
“She’s headed for the hospital. Quick, cut to the hospital’s surveillance cameras!” Zachary was confident and composed as he worked together with his brothers as a team.
Gavin’s brows were deeply knitted. Am I the child in Danna’s arms, or is that my missing brother?
About an hour later, Danna emerged from the hospital with the child.
She had a dark expression on her face, and there was scorn in her eyes as she looked at the child. It was as if she was looking at something disgusting.
They continued to follow her movements for the next few hours.
Danna could be seen leaving the hospital in her car and had deliberately driven to a sparsely-populated suburb.
She parked her car, carried the child, and started walking.
The four boys watched with deep frowns on their faces. “What is she doing?”
Danna walked out of the perimeters of the surveillance cameras but appeared again in less than a minute. However, she was no longer carrying the child in her arms.
The boys felt a foreboding that something sinister had happened.
“Did she abandon our brother?” Jasper asked as he watched Danna drive away, his heart aching with worry.
“Search for any other surveillance cameras nearby!” Even Zachary was beginning to feel an uneasiness in his heart.
“What an evil woman!” Gavin spat as he quickly searched for alternative cameras around the area.
After much effort, the boys finally found a small road that led from where Danna was.
Pulling the camera into focus, they saw that she had thrown the child into a dumpster.
Their hearts ached for the child who had been treated like a piece of garbage.
“How ruthless!” Oliver’s eyes were brimming with tears.
Gavin felt a lump in his throat as he stared at the dumpster, wondering if the child was dead or alive.
Why did Danna abandon my brother? She had taken him to the hospital at first, so why did she decide not to keep him after that? Could my brother be… Unable to think of any good outcome, Gavin felt his heart throbbing with pain.
Even Zachary’s face was frightfully pale.
Nevertheless, he tried to focus the camera to get a closer look. They only managed to make out the image of a child but could not see its features clearly.
They felt a surge of anger rising within them, but they were determined to continue with their investigation.
Regardless, no one noticed anything was amiss even when the dumpster was cleared the next day.
After all, if anything suspicious was found, someone would have no doubt call the police.
The four boys worked together on the leads and established that no report was lodged either with the police or from the rubbish collectors.
They felt that they had hit a dead end.
Could our brother have been thrown into the incinerator with the rest of the rubbish?
As they pondered that possibility, they began to choke up with emotions.
