Chapter 379 Bad Mother
“Did Danna only bring a child along when she looked for you back then, Benjamin?”
Arissa was getting anxious, and her eyes were reddened. She was on the verge of crying because she was afraid to
hear the news of despair.
Benjamin pursed his lips when he saw the helplessness and hopelessness in her eyes. He was heartbroken.
He then stood up and walked up to her before tapping her shoulder and saying, “I’ll get people to find that child.
Regardless of whether dead or alive, we’ll find the child.”
Benjamin’s face was darkened, and he was horrified when he realized that something bad might’ve happened to
the child.
At that moment, Arissa slumped downward as sadness overwhelmed her.
In the past, she’d already asked him before, and he said only Gavin was brought back.

Arissa’s heart was broken at the thought of the child’s misfortune.
“I’ve let him down. How did I forget about him? I’m a bad mother…” Arissa’s face was covered in tears, and her
heart was filled with guilt. My child was taken away because I’m such an incompetent mother.
Benjamin had never seen her so despondent before. Heartbroken, he held her face and got her to look at him.
“Arissa, now is not the time for guilt and sadness. It’s important to find the child first!”
Arissa calmed down significantly when she saw the determination in Benjamin’s eyes. “What if… What if we can’t?”
“We surely can!” Benjamin intensified his gaze. While he was comforting her, he was also consoling himself at the
same time.
“No matter how I asked Danna, she wouldn’t tell me the child’s whereabouts. She threatened me and gave me her
demands. I didn’t promise her anything because I want to find the child first. I’m not letting her walk away scot-
free. She’s the reason I’ve been separated from my child for so many years. I’ll never let her get away with this.
However, she’s the only one who knows the whereabouts of the child.” Although Arissa was full of hatred, she was
still in a dilemma.
Indeed, only Danna knew where the child was.
Coldness shone in Benjamin’s narrowed eyes. “What does she want?”
No wonder Arissa is upset. Danna had used the child’s life to threaten her! Benjamin gritted his teeth in anger. How
dare you, Danna? How dare you use my child?
Arissa tried her best to calm herself down before telling Benjamin everything that had happened in the prison. “She
said she wants to get released, and she’ll tell me the child’s whereabouts in exchange!”
Arissa was worried sick for the child.
“She wants to get out of there? Dream on!” Benjamin exuded a cold and fearsome aura.
Instantly, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Danna is asking for death!
The oppressing atmosphere in the study room was so intense that it was suffocating.

what was happening downstairs.
Right then, Jasper said, “What do you guys think Mommy and Daddy are talking about? Why don’t they let us in on
it?”
“Perhaps it’s a big secret. Maybe Mommy thinks we’re going to get worried if we heard it,” Oliver answered.
“Surely it’s something important. That’s why they don’t want us to hear any of it!” Zachary sighed.
Jesse glanced at her brothers and asked, “What could it be? Could they be arguing?”
Gavin patted Jesse’s head and said, “That shouldn’t be it. When we came back, Mommy had something to eat. If
they were arguing, Mommy would surely not touch any of the food!”
“Zachary is right!” Jasper chimed in before frowning and mumbling, “What could they be talking about, then?”
Zachary’s eyes darted around as he glanced at them and asked, “Did any of you notice Mommy acting weird?”
Suddenly, Gavin, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse shifted their gazes toward him.
“Weird? How so?”
Zachary looked at them and gestured for them to come closer.
When they all leaned in, Zachary whispered, “Didn’t you guys notice Mommy has been acting strange since
yesterday? She seems troubled.”
