Chapter 500 Crying His Lungs Out

After giving Tim a look, Benjamin’s tone was both grim and filled with pain.

“When I called her to tell her that you were alive, she didn’t believe it. Instead, she headed to see the lawyer, hoping to bring forward the court’s verdict over the perpetrator. Unfortunately, she fainted the moment she arrived at the lawyer’s office.

“That aside, Gavin grew up with me, while Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse were raised by your mommy overseas and only came back recently. Prior to that, we didn’t know each other at all. Tim, the reason I’m telling you all this is so that you won’t have any misconceptions about your mommy. Not only did she not forget you but she was also extremely distraught when she couldn’t find you. In fact, she was filled with self-blame, pain, and remorse all this while. It wasn’t a case of her not wanting you at all. You have to know that she loves all of you very much.”

When Tim kept his head lowered, Benjamin was filled with pity for him.

“Tim, Mommy’s sickness isn’t entirely because of you. It was because she didn’t manage to recover properly after giving birth to the six of you. Moreover, she had suffered injuries that weakened her body further. Thus, you shouldn’t blame yourself, for it will just make your mommy feel bad,” Benjamin reassured him while tousling his hair.

With a twitch of his eyelashes, Tim’s eyes began to grow misty.

It turns out that Mommy didn’t abandon me. It was a villain who forcefully took me away instead.

Letting out a sniffle, Tim clenched his trousers with his fists.

Subsequently, Benjamin gave him a hug and patted him on his back.

“I’m the one who failed all of you. If I had investigated the matter thoroughly back then, all of you wouldn’t have to suffer.”
