At nine in the morning, few people gathered in the hospital. Rio, Archie, Sophie and Hunter was present as well as Sherry. As for Ethan, he called them to let them know that he will be late but Larry will be joining them since he needs to fetch Master Omni and Eli.
"E-Eli? he's coming over, too?" Stacy asked Sherry when she heard that Eli and Master Omni was on their way to the central city.
"Ehm…" Sherry nodded. She can see the uneasiness creeping throughout her body so she went and sat beside her.
"I understand how you're feeling right now, sweetheart. But don't you think facing them is the best thing to do for now? it's for your sister as well…" she was looking into her eyes.
"I know mom, but Master Omni and I is not in good terms and was never been." she lowered her head. "And to Eli as well. I don't know if he will ever forgive me."
"You will never know unless you try to talk to them." Sherry encourage her. "But if you're not ready then just let me know so I could inform Ethan."
Stacy thought for a few minutes. Sherry is right, she needs to settle her issues with them first. Only then will they be able to live peacefully. And also for the sake of her twin sister Erika.
"I'll call Ethan then…" Sherry was about to stand up but Stacy held her hand.
"Mom, it's okay. I think your right; I need to settle whatever issues I had with them." she smiled.
Sherry smiled at what she heard. "I know you'll be saying that. I'll just let Ethan know about your decision." Then she took her phone and sent a message.
Meanwhile, Hunter was presenting the information that he got from his research last night. he also showed them the CCTV footage.
"I'm sure they took this route here." Hunter pointed out a specific road in the intersection. "Because according to Shawn and his men, when they got a glimpse of Silver, there were only two cars following him. But if you consider it, there were seven of them when they left the mall."
"I also have the same hunch." Larry agreed. "When I Listed all the properties that Silver has in the Central City, there was one vacation house situated in that location." Then Larry showed them a picture.
"Hmmm… but it looks so small. Will he risk keeping her out there?" Archie creased his brow.
"But it was the closest place in the area. Silver can keep her there but he won't retain her in this kind of place for long. His also smart, so we need to rush before it's too late." Rio suggested.
"Then what are we doing? Let's move now!" Sophie stood up at once but then the door suddenly opened. The people inside the room looked towards the door and saw a little child entered filled with curiosity. Then after him came Master Omni and Ethan.
"Eli!" Sophie exclaimed.
"Aunt Sophie!" Eli rushed to her side and hug the smiling woman. "Where's my mom?" he innocently asked. The people around him suddenly went silent and everyone looked at Ethan, even Sophie.
"Eli… come here, I want you to meet someone." Ethan immediately interrupted. Ethan looked at the others apologetically and took Eli away from Sophie.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
They were walking hand in hand when Sherry suddenly stood in front of them.
"Are you Eli?" she stoops down to meet his eyes. the young man nodded in assertion. "Ah, what a beautiful young man. Then call me grandma from now on, okay?"
Eli stared at his dad then back to her. his face shows puzzlement. "Grandma? But you're not too old like my great paps."
Sherry suddenly laughed at Eli's innocence. Indeed, she looks too young to be called grandma. "Then you can call me whatever you want. Come, let me introduce you to someone. She's been waiting for you."
Eli looked at his father and saw him nodded with a smile. The young lad broke away from his father and held Sherry's hand then they entered another door. As soon as Ethan saw them entered Stacy's room, he joined the others.
"I'm sorry about Eli." he uttered.
"Ah, my poor Eli… what will he feels when he discovers what happened to Aisha?" Sophie sat defeated.
"About that, I think it's better to keep it from him until then." Ethan suggested.
"Rio, I'm sorry to hear about what happen to your daughter. But what are your plans right now?" Master Omni interrupted.
"For now, we are trying to look for her. I hope we will find her today before it's too late." he heaved a sigh.
"We will get going then." Hunter gestured the others. They stood up as well as Ethan but Rio called out.
"Ethan, you stay for a while."
He halted and looked at Rio confused. "Let them handle the search for now."
"Okay." then he went back to his seat hesitantly. As soon as the others exited, silence engulfed the room. they were waiting for Sherry to come out.
Meanwhile, Eli saw a woman sitting on the edge of the bed. His face was filled with wonder. What's happening? Where is her mom, Aisha? this woman isn't her. they may look alike but she's not the person he was waiting to see. Eli suddenly held Sherry's hand tightly and Sherry felt his uneasiness.
But even so, they walked near the woman.
"Eli…Mom" Stacy uttered.
The child reluctantly sat beside her. "Mom, I'll talk to him." she smiled.
Sherry understood what she meant so she got out leaving the two alone.
"Eli, I know you recognized who I am." Stacy started. "And I totally understand if you hate me because of all the things that I did. But I hope you will forgive me. I'm sorry Eli for everything. I'm truly sorry." Stacy reached her hand to caress Eli's head.
"I don't hate you at all." Stacy was a bit surprise at what she heard. Then Eli looked straight to her eyes. "I don't hate you."
"Eli… is that true?" she was overwhelmed.
The young lad smiled. "Ehm. Because of you, I met mommy Aisha and dad is happy too."
Stacy was flabbergasted at the young man's bluntness. She laughed then pinched him on the cheeks.
"Okay, fine. you don't have to shove that in my face." She chuckled. "You can have my sister all you want."
Eli suddenly looked at her in awe. "Really?" joy can be seen in his eyes.
"Yes." she smiled. "You and your dad deserve to be happy and I know Erika will make you happy. Your forgiveness is all that matters to me right now."
"But I was never angry at you."
"Is that true?"
"Ehm…" the young lad.
"Then can you give me a kiss in the cheek?" Stacy seemingly love to tease him. on the other hand, Eli shyly moved forward to kiss her. it was his very first time to see the woman smiling at him.
After a few minutes, the people outside the room heard some crisp laughs. They seemed to be in good terms now and everyone looks happy about it.
"What is it that you want to tell us?" Rio suddenly intercepted.
Sherry's eyes stared at the people who was left in the room. Rio, Master Omni, Archie and Ethan was looking at her intently.
"I'm sorry that I have to tell you all of this just now. But I think you all need to hear the truth…" she started.
