Charlotte was already awake when Sharon Allyson reentered the backyard.
Ruben was holding the sleeping little one, looking at Jacob Green, who was also looking at him.
Sharon Allyson walked over to her, "Charlotte."
Charlotte saw her and was stunned for a moment, her mind still seemingly not fully awake, probably not expecting to see her here.
"Sharon..."
Sharon Allyson said, "Are you feeling better?"
Charlotte nodded, "Just a little dizzy, nothing else...You..."
"Jameson Proctor is in the front yard.Evie Rowland is dead.Suicide."
Charlotte froze, surprisingly unsure of what to say for a moment.
Ruben frowned, "She killed herself? How easy it is for her."
Sharon Allyson was a little tired, watching the rain getting heavier, and did not want to stay here any longer, "Charlotte, I'll leave now.They will send you back."
Charlotte stood up, "Sharon, where are you going?"
"Back to...Find a place to stay for now."
Sharon Allyson looked at the little one, "Thank you for taking care of him all this time."
Charlotte smiled and understood.
This day had come, after all.
She and Jameson together had deceived Sharon Allyson for so long.She no longer had the right to stay with that child anymore.
Jacob Green stepped forward, "Miss Allyson, I'll walk you out."
Sharon Allyson looked at him with little expression.Her voice was low, "No, thanks."
"Miss Allyson..."
"I wish you would stop trying to find out where I live and who I meet.Let's show each other respect.I don't want to see any of you right now."
Jacob Green, "..."
She was saying this not to him but to Jameson Proctor.
Sharon Allyson took the baby from Ruben and cradled it in her arms.
Trey Coe waited just off to the side.When she came forward, he opened the door.
Ruben gave a small nod to Charlotte and left as well.
Watching the black car disappear into the rain, Jacob Green said, "Mrs.Clark, what should we do now?"
Charlotte sighed, "Let's give her some time first."
After a pause, Charlotte added, "By the way, where's Harley? Is she out yet?"
Jacob Green said, "She's dead."
Charlotte froze, "Dead?"
Jacob Green nodded, "She tried to escape from the Proctor family yesterday to report the news but was caught back."
Jacob Green did not finish the rest of the sentence, but Charlotte understood.She closed her eyes and felt a sense of exhaustion and powerlessness.
At that moment, Matthew Gray hurried over, "Mrs.Clark, let me take you back."
"Where is Jameson?"
"Mr.Proctor fainted when he came out of the front yard.Mr.Hood is taking him to the hospital"
Charlotte was shocked, "Fainted?"
Matthew Gray said, "Mr.Proctor he...He was shot in the arm earlier and lost a lot of blood"
"Take me to the hospital."
This night was destined to be chaotic.
