Rosa wasn't ready to leave the hospital just yet, so Evelyn had to take Charles to see Charlie's grave and let him simmer in regret!
Evelyn nodded, handing Rosa her phone. She knew exactly why Rosa needed it right now. With a determined look, Rosa took the phone and dialed Charles' number directly. The call connected, but there was no answer. She tried again-still nothing. After several attempts, she still had no luck. Rosa's face grew tense. What kind of mess was Charles wrapped up in now?
"Grandma, you've just woken up. There's no need to rush. Take a breather," Evelyn said, noticing the worry etched on Rosa's face. Evelyn had let her emotions get the best of her earlier, which had set off a chain reaction, affecting Rosa, too. The doctor had been clear: Rosa needed to avoid stress.noveldrama
"Alright, I'll catch some sleep. But when that troublemaker calls back, make sure he gets here pronto," Rosa agreed, aware of her health limitations. She couldn't afford to ignore her own well-being. She had to stand strong for Evelyn and get justice for Charlie-she couldn't let herself fall apart.
Rosa lay back down. Her body was still recovering, and the emotional whirlwind had taken its toll. She had been pushing herself too hard. But as soon as she closed her eyes, she drifted off into sleep. Evelyn returned Rosa's phone to the nightstand and settled quietly beside her. Her earlier emotional burst, along with Rosa waking up, had finally given Evelyn a sense of stability. But even with that relief, tears slipped down her cheeks as she looked at Rosa. It felt like she'd been waiting forever for this moment. She finally felt she could fight for Charlie.
Meanwhile, Charles and Aiden, who Rosa couldn't reach, were at a new amusement park on the outskirts of the Capital. Charles had seen Charlie's drawing at Oakwood Manor, depicting them together at an amusement park. That was when he tasked Aiden with making it a reality. At the time, he didn't overthink it. Charlie loved amusement parks, so he figured, why not get one for her? She could visit anytime. If she wanted him to join her, he'd make it happen. He was committed to being a good dad and making up for those five lost years, bit by bit, for Charlie's sake.
Initially, he planned to present the amusement park as a surprise gift once it was all finished. But Evelyn's stance changed everything. If she wouldn't let him see Charlie, he'd have to find a way to draw Charlie to
him.
Today, the first phase of the
children's area, was complete and
ready. So, he picked today. He
wanted to spend the day with Charlie, making her the first to enjoy the park. Charles, wanting to ensure everything was perfect, did a final check himself. Satisfied, be instructed Aiden, "Set things up."
"Yes, Mr. Jenkins," Aiden replied, stepping aside to make a quick call. Moments after the call, a short video appeared on the LED screen outside the amusement park. It was a
montage of Charlie's drawin
of
her and Charles at the park that Charles had edited. With the park as a Backdrop, the video showed
Charles holding Charlie's hand, lifting her, and Charlie riding on his shoulders.
Standing at the amusement park entrance, Charles watched the image of Charlie on his shoulders. He recalled seeing, through security footage, Charlie in the yard, looking wistfully at a neighbor's child riding on their dad's shoulders.
