Dahlia barely noticed the cold vibe coming off Charles. She locked eyes with him, bracing herself on the wheelchair's armrests, and flung herself toward him without a second thought. "Charles, please, save Sandy..."

Charles was taken aback by her sudden leap and didn't have the time to catch her. She landed with a thud, kneeling at the foot of Josephine's hospital bed. "Dahlia!" Charles finally snapped back to reality, rushing over to help her up.

"She's terrified, crying, and wants to see you... I called, but you didn't pick up!"

"Charles, I know Evelyn doesn't want me around, and I shouldn't have come, but I didn't know where else to turn."
