Must she talk like her son? What makes her so certain that I wasn't able to bring Tim back? Benjamin scoffed inwardly before shoving Arissa a spoonful of oatmeal porridge.

Arissa widened her eyes in consternation.

On the other hand, there was a hint of amusement in Benjamin's eyes. “Eat first, okay? I've already found him, why are you so anxious?”

Hearing that, Arissa sighed. As she was chewing on the oatmeal porridge in her mouth, she realized that he'd fed her using his own spoon. She instantly blushed when she saw him not minding it.

Hearing no response from her, Benjamin turned to look at her.

His gaze darkened when he saw her eating the oatmeal porridge with her head lowered. She's so mesmerizing when she blushes.

“He's all right. Just eat your oatmeal porridge!” he urged. Although Tim has grown up with a poor family, he's still healthy. Once we've gotten him home and fed him well, he's going to be as strong as Jesse in no time.

Arissa merely shot him a glance before finishing her oatmeal porridge hastily.

Seeing that, Benjamin pursed his lips and whipped out his phone to send Ethen a text message.

Soon, Ethen had replied with a photo of Tim.

Benjamin could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Tim all freshened up and wearing a set of new clothes.

“I'm done!” Arissa had gobbled down two bowls of oatmeal porridge.

She then glanced at Benjamin earnestly.

Benjamin swallowed the food in his mouth and put his bowl aside before handing his phone over to her.

Arissa glanced at him with a confused look.

Benjamin tilted his chin and gestured for her to look at the phone. “The child!”

Arissa took the phone and stared at the screen with her eyes widened. She was overjoyed.

After a close look, she asked, “Why is he so tanned and skinny?” He looks like a little coalman!

Benjamin cast a glance at her and answered, “Why do you think? He grew up in a village!”

Arissa nodded. Well, that makes sense.

She then gently touched the photo of Tim on the screen of the phone. She was utterly heartbroken when she saw how skinny and frail he was. Those dark circles under his eyes are so apparent!

“His life must have been tough!” Arissa exclaimed. With me, Zachary and the others had never starved even one day in their lives! How could my son be so skinny?

Benjamin looked at her and comforted her, “The most important thing is that he's healthy. We'll get him fed when he comes home with us.”

Arissa was over the moon when she heard him saying that her son was healthy. At least he still has fully functional limbs! That's a blessing! We should count ourselves lucky knowing that he was never involved in unlawful acts.

“How did you find him?” she asked.

Seeing how anxious she was, Benjamin explained slowly, “I looked into the leads from the time Danna brought Gavin to me. However, I found out that the child was dumped in a garbage bin.”
