Chapter 401 Emotional Breakdown
“Arissa!” Benjamin pulled her away and said, “Let’s go back. How long will it take for you to search for him in this manner?”
Tears sprang out of Arissa’s eyes.
“I want to look for him…”
Benjamin embraced her and caressed her head. He felt equally terrible as well.
He’s my son too!
“We will find him! Don’t panic!”
Arissa buried herself in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
The young beggars looked at them in fright. They had no idea what was going on.
“Don’t cry. Go home with me. We’ll deploy more men to search for him. As long as he is still in the country, we will be able to find him! Even if he is in another country, I will find him too!” said Benjamin with determination.
After a while, Arissa finally calmed down.
She wiped the tears off her face.
Benjamin is right. I can’t panic because it will make things worse.
We have to deploy more men to search for him.
Arissa got out of Benjamin’s embrace and saw the group of young beggars looking at them timidly.
They looked so miserable that she could not help but caress their heads.
“I’m sorry that I scared all of you.”
The beggars shook their heads.
Arissa felt sorry for them that they had to live on the streets at such a young age.
She took out her purse and gave them all the money she had.
Arissa felt that being nice to them would somehow keep her child safe.
“Go and buy something to eat.”
“Thank you!”
The few of them accepted the money gingerly.
“You’re welcome!”
Arissa felt terrible. How many homeless children are there?
When Benjamin saw how caring she was, his eyes darkened.
“Arissa, let’s go back!”
He went up to grab her hand and pulled her toward the car.
This time around, Arissa did not fight back. Instead, she turned back and glanced at the young beggars.
Giving them money would not solve their problems in the long run. An idea popped up in her mind.
Even when Benjamin shoved her into the car, she was still thinking of ways to find her child.
When Benjamin saw her in that state, he started to worry.
“Arissa!”
He called out to her, but there was no response.
Benjamin raised his voice a few times before Arissa regained her senses and stared at him blankly.
“What?”
Benjamin’s brows furrowed even deeper.
“What are you thinking about? I called you, but you didn’t even hear me.”
Arissa blinked her eyes before telling Benjamin her plan.
“I want to take those children in!”
She looked toward the group of young beggars who had bought some food with the money she had given them.
Nobody knew how many days they had been starving. The way they were gobbling down the food made her heart ache.
Whose children are they?
Where are their parents?
Have they been abducted? Or did they get lost? Perhaps, they are being abandoned?
Arissa’s heart ached even more.
Maybe, her child might be among those children. She wanted to open an orphanage and take those children in. Perhaps, she might be able to find her child in that manner.
Benjamin was taken aback.
“Do you know how many homeless children are there?”
It isn’t just these few of them. Is she planning to take in every homeless child?
“I will open an orphanage so that they have a place to stay. Perhaps, our son may be among them!”
I’ll take it that I’m doing good deeds on behalf of my missing son.
Benjamin looked at her.
“Then why don’t we just send them to an orphanage and donate money to the orphanage? There’s no need to open one!”
Arissa turned to look at Benjamin. She felt that his idea was better than hers.
She could also go to the orphanage and looked for clues.
“Then, I want to take them there now!”
She was about to get down from the car when Benjamin pulled her back. “There’s no need. I’ll get someone to send them over.”
“I-I want to go and look for him at the orphanage!”
Arissa looked at Benjamin with her red, teary eyes, and there was no way he could say no to her.
Benjamin instructed his bodyguards to bring the beggars along with them in a separate car.
They then made their way to the orphanage.
