You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 Is He My Son

“Yes, there is a mine on the mountain. It’s hard to build a road up the mountain, so the owner of the mine hired many adults and children from the village to carry the mining products from the mountain…” Rick said.

Ethen could not imagine how a young child could work.

Benjamin went into the house and took a look around.

The house consisted of three rooms. The one in the middle was the living room.

The other two rooms were most likely bedrooms.

One of the rooms had a big bed made by combining a few benches.

“Mary and Tim stayed in this room,” Rick explained.

The room was messy, but it was clean.

The other bedroom belonged to Raphael. None of the doors had locks and were only partially closed.

Anyone could enter and leave freely. Furthermore, the kitchen consisted only of a thatched roof surrounded by a fence.

The house was dilapidated and had nothing of value.

If Ethen had not seen the house in person, he would not have believed that there was still such severe poverty in this modern age.

Benjamin glanced at the surroundings and felt uncomfortable about what he saw.

It saddened him to think that his child grew up in such an impoverished surroundings.

“Mr. Graham, we must find them fast,” Ethen said.

Mary and Tim were not at home. Therefore, they could not ascertain whether Tim was the child they had been searching for.

Benjamin nodded, and Ethen immediately ordered his subordinates to find where the boy went.

They analyzed where a child and an old lady could go at night.

“Mr. Griffin, can you tell us about their daily life?” Benjamin sat on a stone bench and looked at the messy kitchen. He frowned when he thought there might have been a scuffle earlier based on the state of the place.

Rick sighed and told Benjamin about Tim’s life. “Mary and James loved the boy and regarded him as their own. Unfortunately, life became difficult after Raphael came out of prison. Raphael liked gambling, so he would often force them to give him money and would beat them up if they refused.”
