You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

His direct question took Arissa by surprise.

She said nothing as she took a while to swallow her food.

Seeing how quiet she was, Benjamin furrowed his brows.

Nonetheless, he did not interrogate her further but poured a cup of tea for her.

His small actions touched Arissa.

After taking a few sips of the tea, she felt calmer.

She had no idea how to tell Benjamin what happened

He was the child’s father too. If she was alone, she might not be able to find the child.

If she was searching together with Benjamin, there was a higher chance of finding the child.

When she woke up earlier, she wanted to tell him immediately that she had dreamt of what happened that year again.

This time, it appeared less fuzzy in her head. It seemed like Danna had taken two of her children.

Thinking about it, Arissa felt her headache return, so she took a deep breath to control it.

“What’s wrong?”

Benjamin noticed the frown on her forehead, and he mirrored it.

Even though Arissa seemed pale and in pain, she replied, “I’m fine.”

It only made Benjamin worry more. He walked toward her and started to massage her head.
