Crystal's POV: Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
As soon as Arron woke up and saw me, his eyes turned red. He couldn't help but burst into tears, his arms outstretched towards me.
"Mommy, hug..." Arron sobbed, looking especially pitiful.
My heart broke. I spared no time in wrapping my arms around his tiny body tightly.
Arron rested his head on my shoulder and asked in between sniffles, "Mommy, where is Beryl?"
I fell silent at first and patted his back gently. Finally, I sighed, "Mommy hasn't found her yet." Unexpectedly, Arron cried even harder. His nose turned red and swollen from all the sobbing. "I'm sorry, Mommy. It's all my fault. I wasn't able to protect her. I lost her. I shouldn't have told her to split up..."
A lump formed in my throat. The tears started rolling as I listened to my son's account of what happened.
"Okay, okay. It wasn't your fault, baby. You've done so well. Your safety is the most important thing to Mommy. Now, we just need to find Beryl, and then we'll be together again. Mommy won't ever leave you alone again."
Arron wiped his tears and said firmly, "Let's go find her now."
"I've already sent someone to look for her. I just know we'll find her soon."
I kept comforting Arron, but truth be told, I was also worried sick about Beryl. I just didn't want my boy to know how anxious I was, fearing that he'd blame himself even more.
"Okay, Mommy!" Arron managed to hold back his tears and didn't say anything more. Instead, he wrapped his little arms around my neck in a tight embrace. His obedience made me feel even more distressed.
Even a tough-ish man like Harry couldn't help but try to cheer up the poor kid.
"Little one, don't cry. We'll find your sister soon. You should focus on recovering so that when your sister's back, this young and handsome man will take you two to the amusement park!" Harry pointed at himself shamelessly when he said "this young and handsome man", winking at Arron to make him agree.
Arron nodded and smiled at the strange man politely. "Thank you, sir."
The smile showed his lovely little teeth. He looked just like an angel that he was. Harry's heart melted, and then this so-called young and handsome man couldn't help but scoop Arron up into his arms.
It was amusing to see Arron and Harry get along. I sighed wistfully and watched them play.
Just then, Joanna's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and then went out to answer it. After a while, I heard her cry out in surprise. A split second later, she rushed back into the ward and asked us to check our phones.
Confused, Harry craned his neck to get a look at Joanna's phone. Arron, who was in his arms, also tilted his head to look at the screen. "Beryl!" he shouted in surprise.
I immediately took out my phone and checked the news. A notice about a missing girl popped up on the screen. A sleeping Beryl was in the picture.
"That little girl looks a lot like Arron. It has to be Beryl, right?"
Tears of joy welled up in my eyes. "Yes, yes!" I read the notice carefully. It turned out that Beryl was now in the royal palace, under Rufus' care!
"So Prince Rufus saved Beryl? Oops, I meant 'King' Rufus." Harry was confused. Then he suddenly understood and slapped his thigh. "So that's why so many royal guards were in the area that afternoon. Rufus might've been out on patrol that day!"
I was shocked and scared. I wanted to go to the palace as soon as possible to see Beryl, but I couldn't leave Arron alone in the hospital.
Harry and Joanna also needed to go there. In fact, they were already incredibly late.
I didn't know what to do. Looking at Arron's face, I was in a dilemma. After all, my son looked almost identical to his father--Rufus.
If I took Arron with me to the palace, everyone would find out that he was Rufus' son.
