Charlie’s nose was sour, and he sighed softly, and said with a trembling voice: “Aunt Lenan, I am Charlie…”
After speaking, he looked at Philip who was trembling and unable to speak, and said in a trembling voice: “Uncle…Hello! And Aunt Lenan, how are you!”
Philip looked at him and muttered, “Are you really Charlie?”
Charlie nodded seriously and said, “Uncle, it’s me, I’m Charlie, do you still recognize me?”
“Recognize…recognize…” Philip wiped away tears and said: “You are the same as your father when he was young, and you are similar to the photos of your grandfather when he was young… ….”
With that, he stood up laboriously, and then walked towards Charlie.
Charlie hurried forward, came to Philip a few steps to support him, and said with gratitude and guilt: “Uncle, for so many years, you and Aunt Lenan have been worried…”
Philip wiped out a cloud of old tears and choked up: “Charlie, where have you been for so many years? In these years, I have almost traveled all over the world to find you, and there has been no whereabouts of you… ….”
Charlie couldn’t help but sighed: “Uncle, in fact, I have been in Aurous Hill these years, and I have been growing up in the orphanage until I was eighteen.”
“How come?!” Philip blurted out: “I went to Aurous Hill to find you several times. I always went to the welfare home, orphanage, and rescue station, but I never found your whereabouts…”
Charlie said, “Uncle, Mr. Stephen, the housekeeper of the Wade family back then, sent someone to take over the orphanage secretly. He was afraid that someone would harm me, so he hid all my information. don’t know. I only realized that something was wrong after I met Sara a few days ago, so I went to Stephen and asked about it. Then he told me the hidden information…”
Philip was stunned for a while, and then he nodded and said: “That’s how it is, that’s how it is! It seems that Stephen is indeed a person who knows his gratitude, and your father treated him like a mountain back then not a wrong person!”
