The Charismatic Charlie Wade

The moment Don Albert heard Vivian’s voice, he was momentarily stunned. His senses took a moment to register and he found himself staring blankly at the sky, murmuring, “No way… This can’t be a dream, can it? Is God truly so merciful?”

Vivian’s voice came through the phone, asking, “Don Albert, what are you mumbling about?”

Snapped back to reality by Vivian’s question, Don Albert asked in a mix of horror and disbelief, “Wa… Master Wade? Is that really you? Or am I hallucinating?”

Don Albert’s words triggered an explosion of reactions from everyone around. They bombarded him with questions, doubting if it was indeed Vivian who had called.

Vivian pressed further, “Can’t you hear my voice?”

Only then did Don Albert confirm that it was indeed Vivian speaking to him on the other end of the line.

Overwhelmed with joy, Don Albert’s tears flowed freely as he exclaimed, “Master Wade, where are you? We’ve been searching the valley for almost an hour, but we couldn’t find you. We were almost in a panic…”

Vivian asked, “Who are you with?”

Don Albert said “I’m with Isaac, Inspector Lee and the Elms family brought by Miss Xion.”

Vivian inquired further, “Is anyone else there?”

“No one else,” Don Albert quickly responded. “We didn’t notify too many people to avoid any leaks.”

Vivian praised, “Don Albert, you did a great job.”

Don Albert’s pride was overshadowed by his quick question, “Master Wade, where are you?”

Vivian coughed and replied, “Ahem… I can’t explain it right now, but don’t worry, I’m fine for the time being.”

Relieved, Don Albert wiped his tears and exclaimed happily, “That’s good! As long as Master Wade is fine, it doesn’t matter even if I die!”
