Chapter 404 I Will Not Give Up
Arissa’s body was still trembling.
She was both mad and worried at the same time.
Arissa was mad that Danna threatened her with her child.
She was also worried about the safety of her son.
Benjamin stood up, walked up to her, and embraced her.
He gently patted her back and comforted her. “We’ll find him, don’t worry.”
“But where? Where can we find him?” Arissa broke down and cried.
Trying to find a lost child was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The thought of her child suffering somewhere in this world caused her to burst into tears.
Benjamin, too, was downhearted upon seeing how helpless Arissa was.
He leaned forward and pulled her head into his chest. He then gazed into her eyes and said, “This is not the time to break down. The more emotional you become, the more difficult it will be for you to track down the child. Unless you’re ready to give up?”
“No way. I’ll never give up! By hook or by crook, I’ll find him!” Arissa widened her eyes and exclaimed.
“I just… I feel I’ve let him down. I didn’t even know he existed before this. I really thought I had only given birth to quintuplets…” Arissa’s eyes turned red as she felt she had done her child wrong.
“It’s not your fault!” Benjamin looked at her aggrieved appearance and felt sorry for her.
He hugged her even more tightly and gently stroked the back of her head. “It’s my fault. Danna wouldn’t have a chance to lay her finger on the kid had I been more cautious with my investigation!”
Benjamin, too, felt a pang of guilt. If it were not for him, Arissa and the children would not have gone through the misery.
They nearly even lost their lives because of him.
We don’t even know if the child is still alive.
Benjamin could not breathe when he thought of the worst scenario. It was as if someone was strangling him.
“Mr. Graham!” Edwin was stunned when he overheard their conversation.
“You still have another child?”
Benjamin turned around to look at Edwin and responded with a nod.
There was no way they could live in peace unless they had found the missing child.
Edwin was at a loss for words as he did not know how to comfort Arissa.
On the one hand, he was pleased to learn that Benjamin and Arissa had another child, but on the other hand, he was also concerned about the child’s whereabouts.
“I’ll sure we’ll be able to find the child since there are so many of us. And I’m sure Mr. Graham knows what he’s doing. You must have faith in him!”
Upon hearing that, an idea popped up in Benjamin’s mind.
Arissa regained her composure. Now is not the right time to panic. I have to pull myself together to look for my child.
She got up and said, “I’m fine. I’m fine now. Don’t worry about me.”
Benjamin gave her a look of comfort. “It’s okay to cry it out. It’s good to release your emotions. We’ll definitely look for our child, but we need to plan ahead. I’ll deploy my men to look for him all over the country. But right now, I need you to calm down and eat properly.”
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his plan. “Do you have enough men to deploy?”
Once again, Benjamin stroked Arissa’s head and comforted her upon noticing the worried look on her face. “I’m sure I’ll be able to mobilize my network since I have investments all over the country. I’ll get help from my business associates since they are familiar with the locals. Jack should also have enough men to deploy on his end.”
He explained his plan further, “I’ll arrange for another team to continue the investigations. We’ll start with the database in the police department and continue with the census bureau if need be. As long as he’s still alive, I’m sure we will be able to find him.”
Arissa believed Benjamin had all the resources to make this mission a success. “All right. Involve as many men as possible in the search operation then!”
“I will. You better eat something now. I’ll make the arrangement right now!”
When Benjamin was about to leave the dining hall, Arissa stopped him. “Why don’t you join me? Let’s have something together.”
After taking a glance at Arissa, Benjamin sat down and ate something with her for a while before going to his study.
All his business associates and management teams from his corporation’s subsidiaries were surprised to learn that Benjamin had another son.
Before this, they were aware that Benjamin had five children, even though they had not met them before.
Does that mean he has a total of six children?
