Charles told Arthur about Shirley and Charlie going missing. He was confused about how everything went down, but he continued his story anyway. "I've been looking for the other kid and waiting for any news about him. I never thought Leila would work with Ferry. By the time that I realized that Charlie may be the kid I've been looking for and started planning for him and Sheryl to get their DNA tested, Charlie and Shirley went missing."
Charles breathed deeply, running his hand over his face. "Sher isn't feeling well. She shouldn't be alone right now."
"Don't worry about it. We can take care of Sheryl for you." Arthur patted him on the shoulder, offering comfort. "For now, just focus on looking for the kids. That's what's most important right now," he instructed.
His face dimmed in worry as he continued, "If what you've said is all true, the kids will be in great danger. We should focus all our resources into finding them. Don't worry about Sher. We're here for her."
"Okay." Charles felt a little better and nodded. "I feel more reassured knowing that you and Grandma will take care of her."
"I'll just say goodbye to Sher," Charles said as he stood up and walked towards Sheryl's room.
Abby was keeping Sheryl company. When the door opened, she looked at Charles with regretful eyes. She was filled with regret, thinking that this never would have happened if her husband didn't keep a secret for Anthony.
Charles was oblivious of Abby's guilt. All he saw was Sheryl, tucked into bed, refusing to look at him. He walked towards her and whispered, "Sher, just get some rest, okay? I promise, I'll find the kids and bring them home."
Sheryl remained still, refusing to face Charles. To be honest, she felt so reluctant to talk to him.
She knew he wasn't responsible for what happened. But they were there when the kids went missing, and they weren't able to do anything. No matter how she saw it, she couldn't help but blame herself and Charles.
Thinking that Sheryl was angry at him for what happened, Charles figured that it'd be best to leave. He faced Amy instead and bid goodbye. "Grandma, please take care of Sheryl. I should get going."
Amy nodded. "Of course." Amy looked at him with sympathy as he left the room.
In the past, she was never fond of Charles. She had always blamed him when Sheryl went missing. But now, she realized that Charles was wronged, and it was Anthony and Andy's fault all this time.
If anything, she felt nothing but sympathy for Charles. His pain must be greater than anybody else's when Sheryl went missing.
Charles tried to find anyone who could help him, from his friends from the government and the streets. All he wanted to do now was to save the kids, no matter how.
As for Leila, he wouldn't waste his time with her.
He already loathed her for cheating on him, and now this.
His first stop was to the police station. After that, he went to Hugo, a notorious gang leader. Unexpectedly, he found Any with Hugo.
Little did he know, Andy was there to make amends for his mistakes, but Charles was filled with rage upon seeing him. His eyes blazed as he held Andy by his shirt collar and roared, "What are you doing here?
