Charlie still didn't know that Ben was his father.

Throwing Charlie into such a situation, expecting him to adapt and stay with Ben before he even had time to process the truth, would undoubtedly leave him unwilling and confused.

Hearing Charlie's name, Jamie felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

She began to avoid the subject. "Stop it. Let's not talk about things that haven't happened yet. Ben, I'm not going to be with you. And I can't stand the thought of being separated from Charlie. If there's no other way, then let's just keep the truth from him forever." Ben refused to let her avoid the issue. "What you're doing is cruel to Charlie. He's just over three years old, Jamie. He's been battling illness his whole life, and he's never had a father. Now that he has one, how can you deny him that?" Jamie fell silent.

Ben's words cut to the harsh reality of their situation.

"I'll find Winnie as soon as I can," Ben said.

He knew Jamie's biggest concern was her sister. If he could help mend their relationship, everything else would fall into place.
