Chapter 408 Is She Dead
When Arissa heard the commotion outside, she jumped in shock.
Immediately, she rushed in with the prison officers to check out what was happening.
However, she did not expect Benjamin to come out and block her view with his body.
When she saw him rubbing his hand, she could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”
Initially, there was a hostile look on his face.
But the moment he saw her, he calmed down gradually.
“I’m not hurt. Let’s go!”
With his arm around her, Benjamin guided her outside so that she would not witness the gory scene.
Nevertheless, Arissa still saw Danna’s injured head, and there was blood all over her face.
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat at the scene.
Looking at the motionless Danna, she mumbled, “I-Is she dead?”
Benjamin tightened his arm around her and brought her outside of the detention center.
“Not yet!”
When Benjamin threw the chair at Danna, it was merely to vent his frustration.
In fact, Danna was primarily unconscious because she was in shock.
Hearing his determined tone, Arissa looked at him in surprise. Never did she expect him to be so violent.
Consequently, she turned around to see Danna being carried out for treatment, but she felt not a single ounce of pity for her.
Whatever Danna was suffering then was nothing compared to what she and her son had gone through.
Only after they got into the car and drove off did Arissa ask, “She still refused to tell you?”
When Benjamin met her terrified and worried gaze, his heart ached for her, and he pulled her into his arms.
“Don’t worry. We’ll find our son!”
Having said that, Benjamin made a call and increased the manpower to search for the boy.
Arissa began praying for the safety of her son in her heart.
Afterward, both of them held onto one another and said nothing more until they arrived at the Graham residence.
As Arissa was getting out of the car, she nearly fell onto her knees.
Thankfully, Benjamin was there to catch her.
“Thank you!” said Arissa in a daze.
Looking at her ashen face, Benjamin decided to just carry her into the house.
“Put me down! I can walk on my own!”
Arissa began to blush in embarrassment.
Benjamin glanced at her. “Stop moving. Your face is very pale!”
Hence, Arissa had no choice but to stay in his arms.
All of a sudden, they heard an old man’s voice ring out, and the couple was startled.
“Both of you are back?”
When Darius saw them walk in, he got up immediately.
Arissa did not expect to see Darius, so her face turned red as she struggled to get down from Benjamin’s arms.
However, Benjamin refused to let go and even chided her, “Stop moving!”
Arissa was dumbfounded.
After all, it was embarrassing for her to be seen by an elder like that.
Darius grinned while studying them and said, “Is my presence here disturbing you guys?”
“N-No!” Arissa denied with a blushing face.
On the other hand, Benjamin was pleased to see her crimson cheeks.
However, Benjamin maintained his composure in front of Darius.
“If you know that, why did you come here?”
The corner of Darius’ mouth twitched at his response.
“I heard from Edwin that you have another child?” asked Darius anxiously.
At that instant, Benjamin threw a glare at Edwin.
The latter shuddered in fear. Old Mr. Graham, you weren’t supposed to betray me.
“Yes!” acknowledged Benjamin before carrying Arissa up the stairs.
“S-So, where is the child now?” the flustered man pressed on anxiously.
“We haven’t found him yet.”
With that, Benjamin continued walking upstairs and instructed Edwin, “Edwin, get Shaun to come here as soon as possible!”
Edwin regained his senses and answered, “Right away!”
He had no idea why Benjamin wanted Shaun there, but he did as he was told.
Arissa, who was being carried upstairs, looked stupefied.
She asked Benjamin softly, “Why are you asking Dr. Bailey to come here?”
Benjamin replied in all seriousness, “To perform a medical checkup for you!”
Arissa was taken aback and moved at the same time. “But I’m fine!”
“You looked terrible just now. I’m sure your blood sugar level is very low.”
In fact, she had nearly fallen when she was getting out of the car earlier on.
