The More the Merrier novel Chapter 446

Benjamin was still searching for the missing child in the village when he got the phone call.

“Hey, Dad.”

“Where are you right now?”

“I’m in Rutaceae Village. Is something the matter, Dad?” Benjamin replied.

Darius exchanged glances with Shaun before saying, “Issa fainted earlier.”

“What happened to her?” Benjamin raised his voice out of concern.

“S-She found out about what happened to the child… T-The shock and sadness proved too much for her to bear…” Darius replied in a shaky voice as he tried to stop himself from sobbing.

Benjamin frowned upon hearing that. But I already had someone erase the surveillance camera footage, so how did she find out?

“How is she now, Dad?” he asked.

“She’s crying together with the kids,” Darius replied worriedly.

“Put her on the phone,” Benjamin urged him.

Figuring that Benjamin would do a better job at comforting Arissa, Darius did as told and handed the phone over to her.

“Issa, Benjamin wants to talk to you.”

Arissa stared blankly at Darius for a brief moment before wiping her tears and answering the phone.

“Hello?”

Benjamin frowned worriedly when he heard how hoarse her voice sounded.

“Arissa, I’ve found some clues about the child!”

Hearing no response from her, he continued, “I was going to wait till I had found him before telling you. I didn’t think you’d find out about it first. Don’t be sad, okay? The child is still alive! I’ll bring him home as soon as I find him!”

Thinking he was just trying to comfort her, Arissa didn’t believe him at all.

“Okay,” she mumbled coldly and hung up the phone after that.

“Don’t be too upset now, Issa. The kids will get worried. You need to pull yourself together!” Darius comforted her as he took the phone back.

Arissa nodded. “All right.”
