Word was that Charles had been running all over the country, hunting for a kidney donor. Things were getting messy in the Sinclair family after the scandal, and his two uncles were already making moves. But none of that had anything to do with Yolanda.

A week later, Charles managed to find a kidney donor by throwing money around. After the surgery was done, he finally made it home.
