Chapter 1145 Listen To rk
Sheryl and Charles were aware that rk was too sensible and intelligent for his age. They never had
to worry about Shirley when rk was around. And rk never failed to surprise them. Especially
during some crisis, the courage and sensitivity that the boy showed every time weremendable.
Charles gazed at rk affectionately as he heard him speak. "Dad, I know why you didn''t let me and
Shirley go to school and why Grandma wasn''t home. I also know what made our workaholic mom avoid
going for work and stay with us at home instead," rk spoke in a very low and polite manner looking
up at his father. He had bottled up his observations all these days. Now that he met his parents after
being saved from the kidnapper, he thought it was the right time to tell them about how he felt.
"So you knew all of this?" Charles asked, his eyes almost popping out. Sheryl was also taken aback by
what her son said. Both of them stared at him with much admiration in their eyes.
"Yes, I knew all of this. At that time, Mommy always looked preupied and glum. So I didn''t tell you,"
rk confirmed and turned his face towards Sheryl.
"To be honest, I don''t believe Mommy could ever do something as bad and demeaning as it was shown
in the report I saw on my phone. She is so caring towards me, Shirley and you. How could she be like
that?" he added. He looked quite miffed with all those false reports.
"So I never even thought of asking Mommy about this. I knew you believed in her. Now that you were
willing to believe in her, I didn''t see why I can''t believe her. I even had faith in you. I had been waiting
for you to help Mommy and prove the entire rumour to be false. I thought Mommy could have imed
the fact and proved her innocence. But unexpectedly I and Shirley got kidnapped.
I heard what he asked Mommy to do. So I became all the more clear and confirmed that Mommy had
been set up. I knew Mommy was innocent, but I didn''t know if others felt the same way. They must be
convinced that Mommy was that kind of a bad person as she was described in news!"
"Turns out you knew about this, rk," Charles remarked stroking his cheeks gently, as he surveyed
his son from top to bottom. He wondered how his son could be so intelligent, sensitive and obedient at
such a young age.
"Oh, yeah. I came to know about it long before, but I chose to believe Mommy," rk stressed. Sheryl''s
heart melted to see the unflinching love and confidence rk showed towards her. Her eyes welled up
with happy tears as she heard him speak.
"But I know that others might not believe Mommy as I do. So I think the footage in this ce might help
you reveal the truth in front of everyone. What do you think, Daddy?" rk advised with a firm look in
his eyes.
Charles stared at his son with much amazement as rk very explicitly analyzed and exined the
entire situation. At the moment, a thought urred to Charles that his son would turn out to be a better
adult than him.
"You''re right, rk. You are more considerate than me. I am proud of you," Charles praised with a
bright smile, as his chest swelled.
He turned his gaze from his son to his wife and daughter. Both Sheryl and Shirley stared at rk with
appreciation.
Sheryl admired rk''s wit. More importantly, she was touched by the sensitivity rk showed towards
her. Her eyes were teary, and there was a soothing smile on her lips. No matter how much her enemies
tried to pull her down, she would always emerge as a winner. And it was all because of the angelic kids
she was blessed with.
"Thank you for your useful advice, rk. Stay here with Mommy and Shirley, okay? I will go get the
surveince video," Charles said with a contented look.
"Got it, Daddy. I will protect my mom and my sister," rk grinned and erected his spine like a
responsible man of the family.
"That''s my good son," Charles concluded as he ruffled rk''s hair fondly. As soon as he finished his
statement, he nced around the vi.
Considering that the control room was much likely to be in a porter''s lodge, he decided to check that
ce first.

"Shirley, rk, would you like to join Daddy? In this way, we all can be together while he looks for the
video," Sheryl suggested, as she watched Charles running towards the porter''s lodge. She found it
rather boring to stay where they were and wait for her husband to return.
She thought it would be better to be with Charles. For Sheryl, the time they had just got over was too
terrible to let any one of them be out of her sight even for a moment. She just could not bear the sight
of Charles moving towards the porter''s lodge all alone. She rather preferred that all four of them stay
together wherever they went.
"That''s good, Mommy!" Shirley nodded with excitement.
rk being his sober self took a moment to consider the suggestion. After thinking for a while, rk
rubbed his chin and replied earnestly, "Okay. Even I promised to Daddy that I would protect you. But
now that he is far from us, I think we should join him."
"Fine. We will listen to rk," Sheryl concluded with a slight smile. The three headed down the
mountain hand in hand.
When they got inside the porter''s lodge, Charles was looking for the video in front of an oldputer.
"How did it go, Charles? Have you found it?"
Sheryl asked with a frown.
"Not yet. But I think I can find it. But thisputer doesn''t work. I am not sure if I can get it fixed and
get what we want," Charles replied with uncertainty. Obviously, he didn''t know whether he could get the
footage was a task in itself. Charles found himself to be at his wit''s end as he tried to think how he
could get the footage out from this electronic junk.
However, rk was an optimist. He gazed on his confused father and tried to motivate him, "Daddy,
there are only a fewputers in this abandoned ce. Now that you think this one has the
information you want, you should have confidence in your judgment."
"Are you serious?" Charles asked. Charles gazed at the boy and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Of course I am. Come on, Dad, be more optimistic. Besides, why would I lie to you?" rk confirmed,
looking up to meet Charles'' gaze. There was earnestness in his eyes.
The sincere, confident look in his eyes seemed to make people believe that everything was under his
control. It gave people courage and strength.
"I''m d to hear that. Now that you said so, I will believe your words," Charles concluded without a
second thought. He carried theputer and ced it in his car trunk. With a smile, he said to his
family, "Let''s go home and find the truth."
"That''s great. We can go home now!" the two kids eximed in excitement. The air was filled with joy
as they giggled, and the parents joined in as well with a heartyughter.
After a long time, the whole family was rxed. The very mention of home brought a contented smile
on their faces. After what happened to Shirley and rk, home turned to a symbol of security and
peace that they longed for.
Charles took the driver''s seat, while Sheryl, rk, and Shirley settled themselves in the back seats. As
the car zoomed home-wards, Sheryl held both her kids close and drifted into her thoughts. The four of
them had seldom been in a car together in this way.
Charles and Sheryl had been engaged in their work, so they barely took their children out.
As Charles drove into the gates of Dream Garden, he stopped his car in the driveway. The four walked
into the house. Suddenly a weird feeling clouded their minds. The kids also became quiet. Charles and
Sheryl frowned as they looked at each other. It was not until now that the couple thought of the maid.
Nancy was there with the kids at home at the time of the abduction. They became worried about what
might have happened to Nancy.
''But where is Nancy? Is she Duncan''spliance or the victim? I have no clue, '' Charles pondered.
Gary came down the stairs. Puzzled to see all the four of theming in together, he asked, "Where
have you all been? When I got home, I didn''t see anyone of you. Even Nancy was not at home."
"When did you go out today, Grandpa? And when did youe back home?" Charles asked with a
baffled look.
"I left home early in the morning and went fishing with my friends. I got home half an hour ago, but I
could not see anyone inside," Gary replied candidly. The frown on Charles'' and Sheryl''s faces became
stiffer and their minds were filled with all sorts of conflicting thoughts regarding Nancy. They had to find
her by hook or by crook.
