"Simon has been gone for four years. Can you help me find out where he is?"

When Wayne heard that, he felt uneasy. "I'm not sure if I should say this."

"Go ahead."

"I think he..."

Pearl felt a deep sadness inside her. "I feel the same way, but we can't be sure. Help me find out more."

Wayne nodded. "I'll start right away."

After Wayne left, Pearl turned to Darius and gently placed her hand on his, then said softly,' Darius, I let you down..."

Darius seemed to understand and slowly opened his eyes to see Pearl crying. "I miss you so much, Mommy."

Darius had a sore on the corner of his mouth, so talking was painful for him.

"You shouldn't talk right now. Just rest, and a doctor will come to stitch it up. Are you scared?"

Darius shook his head. "No, Mommy. I'm a big boy, so I'm not scared."

"You're very brave. When you get better, we'll go out for your favorite seafood, okay?"

"Who did this to him?"

"Luther and his sister."

Richard frowned. "I didn't know he had a sister."

"It's a bit complicated, so I'll explain when you're feeling better."

Richard paused, his expression turning serious. "It's fine, I'll look into this. No one who hurts my son will get away with it."

"Don't worry about that now. Focus on getting better so you can come home with us."

Richard's face brightened. "You want to go home with me?" "Not just me, Darius too. We're all going back together."
