    You Have Done Well


    Utterly pleased, Arissa kissed him again.


    In the meantime, Gavin and the others were eavesdropping on their conversation outside the door.


    Meanwhile, Jesse tiptoed toward her brothers, scratching her head at what they were up to. She poked


    Jasper and Oliver’s shoulders with her finger.


    “Stop disturbing me!” Jasper moved to shrug her finger off in frustration.


    When Oliver turned and saw Jesse, he gestured at her to be quiet.


    “What are you doing?” She lowered her voice and pressed her ears onto the door inquisitively.

    “Mommy is having a chat with Tim inside!” Zachary exined to her before letting out a sigh. Our


    instinct is proven right. Mommy knows everything! Mr. Hinton must have investigated the matter for her!


    “How did Mommy manage to find out? Did she investigate it?” Gavin walked aside; his forehead


    creased into a frown.


    Zachary threw a nce at him and responded resignedly, “Mr. Hinton helped her dig into the matter.”


    Right that instant, the door opened abruptly. Arissa emerged with Tim in her arms and was astounded


    when the other five kids came into sight.


    She scanned them and questioned, “Are you guys eavesdropping on our conversation?”


    The others’ hearts skipped a beat. Jasper exined earnestly, “Mommy, we’re worried stiff about you


    and Tim!”


    Arissa let out a chuckle and bent down to put Tim down. “How much have you heard?”


    Jesse retorted, “Mommy, I didn’t hear anything as I’ve juste over. Great-grandaunt is asleep!”


    Arissa did not doubt her words.


    Gavin asked, “Mommy, how did you find out Tim was beaten?”


    Arissa gazed at them and exined, “I had a bad feeling after your great-grandaunt talked about him.


    That’s why I requested Mr. Hinton investigate him.”


    All the six kids finally had a grasp of the situation.


    Jasper piped up, “Mommy, he has been arrested…”


    “Shh!” Arissa motioned to him to lower his voice.


    Oliver knocked his head hastily. “Lower your voice! Don’t let Great-grandaunt hear that!”


    Jasper stuck his tongue out and smiled sheepishly before asking softly, “Hasn’t Great-grandaunt known


    about it?”


    Tim chimed in, “I’d told Great-grandaunt earlier about it. However, she was receiving her treatment


    when I lodged the police report. Hence, she doesn’t know what happened.”


    Arissa felt a stabbing pain in her heart at the sight of the fury on Tim’s face when he mentioned


    Raphael.


    ording to Bradley’s finding, the cold-blooded Raphael even had the heart to beat his mother up.


    D*mn it! He’s even worse than a beast!


    Nevertheless, she was well aware that Tim did not pour everything out to her. She had a hunch


    Raphael was worse than what Tim had described earlier. As a result, her son could not take it any


    longer and lodged a police report.


    She presumed things must have worsened to such an extent that Tim had to bring Mary to see the


    doctor in the middle of the night.


    Her heart sank again at the thought. She ced her hands on Tim’s shoulders and pinched them


    subconsciously. “Sweetheart, you’ve done the right thing. There’s nothing wrong with lodging a police


    report to protect yourself!”


    No doubt, it was impossible for Tim and Mary to hide from Raphael forever if they continued staying in


    the vige. Now that Tim was sound and safe with them, Arissa vowed that she would not let the


    heartless many a finger on him and Mary again. Deep down, she felt the best way to do that was to


    take them back to Dellmoor.


    “Mommy, we must find ways so that man will rot in jail! He’ll surely bully Great-grandaunt and Tim again


    after he’s released!” Zachary reminded her. Tim will be fine because all of us will protect him well. But


    how about Great-grandaunt? Hmph! That man will surely beat her up again if she goes back!


    After pondering for a while, Arissa was still indecisive. After all, Raphael was still Mary’s flesh and


    blood. Hence, she feared that thetter might not be able to take it if her son ended up rotting in jail.


    “I’ll discuss this with your daddy first!” she replied tactfully as she threw a nce at them, unable to


    make a decision on the spot.


    To hold Raphael captive, she believed Benjamin would have more methods in mind. Did he go to the


    police station for this purpose too?


    “Mommy, I’ve just given Daddy a call. He told me he’ll be home soon!” Gavin informed her eagerly.
