Crystal's POV:
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.
