ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 11 Episode 39

Sue was not about to complain about the “food” she was given. After all, it was better than the same old rice porridge she had eaten.

With a self satisfied tone, Allen told Sue, “There is some milk in the bag. You can drink some if you like.” Sue didn’t have much of an appetite, so she felt full after eating only a small bit of what she was given. However, she knew that her unborn baby needed sustenance, so she forced herself to eat more.

Allen put the food aside. Pointing at the milk, he said, “I bought it for you because you are pregnant now and need the nutrients.”

Allen glared at Sue and added, “Don’t be angry with me. I am only doing all of this because you left me with no other options.”

Beaming with pride, Peggy said, “Oh, my son has become a real man. I am so proud of you.” Peggy was so happy to see Allen behave like this.

Sue cast a disgusted glance at Allen and said sarcastically, “Thanks.”

She knew Allen had never been a mature man. He only bought milk for her because he was happy to have the chance to get away today. “You are welcome,” Allen replied in an almost robotic tone.

The only reason that they allowed Sue to be as “free” as she was at the moment, was because Allen and Peggy were in an exceptional mood. Sitting on the floor, Peggy couldn’t stop imaging how happy her future was going to be once their demands were met.

She glanced at Allen and asked, “Where do you want to go, son?”

Allen adjusted himself on the floor and said with a grimace, “I don’t really care where we go, as long as this wretched place is left far behind us.”

Peggy laughed and said, “I will follow you wherever you go. My only wish is to see you get married and have a family of your very own.”

“I promise, you will see it one day,” Allen replied with a confidence that was just a hair away from being completely smug.

Sue said nothing as Allen looked at her. “Don’t worry. Upon our departure, I will let Anthony know where he can come to pick you up. Although I don’t like you, you are still my sister. I won’t bring any harm to you or your baby.” “Oh, is that so?” Sue said with a glare.

She didn’t want to talk to him about that anymore. Furthermore, she knew and understood that because of the type of person Allen was, it wouldn’t be long before he got himself into some more trouble, even if they lucked out this time and were getting to leave the country.

But it seemed to Sue that such a simple concept was lost on Peggy. She was apparently oblivious to it. Maybe she could see it clearly, but just didn’t want to admit it.

“I can see that Anthony really cares about you. After we leave, I hope you can do right by him and keep him happy.” All of Sue’s life, Peggy had hardly shown her any concern, but now she confessed, “I know I have been a bad mother to you. However, I hope you can understand my complete disregard for you.”

“Don’t you worry yourself. I have never blamed you,” Sue said with a bitter smile.

Peggy had never given Sue love or concern as her mother and Sue had accepted that fact long. So she had reached a point in her life where she didn’t let it bother her anymore.

Gripping Allen’s hand, Peggy spoke to him for a long while that night. Sue felt like an outsider. She kept silent so that she didn’t interrupt their conversation.

It went from being early evening to late at night in what seemed like the blink of an eye.

As Sheryl was finishing up her shower, Andy called to inform her that he had gotten a tip about a possible location where he might find Allen. Immediately, she finished drying off and put on clothes so that she could head out. Seeing her in such a hurry to leave, Charles grabbed her hand as he asked, “Where are you going? Why are you in such a rush? What happened?”

“I just got a call from Andy, and he said he knows where Allen may be right now. I’m going there.” Sheryl looked at Charles and said, “You should get to bed though. You have a meeting tomorrow.”

“At least let me take you over there.” Charles quickly changed his clothes and went to get his car.

On their way there, Sheryl called Anthony to inform him about what Andy had said. He thanked her and went to the address Andy gave.

Sheryl had never been there so she called Andy again to ensure she didn’t go to the wrong place before she had Charles park the car.

As she got out of the car, she saw that Anthony and Andy had already arrived.

“So what’s going on? Is Sue here?” Sheryl asked Andy with great concern.

Andy shook his head slightly and answered, “I have been investigating the matter about Sue since you told me about it, and finally got some news today. A prostitute lives here and she said Allen came to see her this afternoon. While in her presence Allen blurted out that he would get rich soon. Unfortunately, someone recognized him, so he ran away.”

Andy looked at Sheryl and said, “Sher, this place is inappropriate for you to get in. Just let Anthony and I go there.”

“Charles, take Sher home now,” Andy told Charles.

Anthony nodded slightly in agreement. “Sher, I really appreciate all of the help you’ve given to me. Just let me deal with the rest of this. I promise I will bring Sue back safely.”

“No, I think I’ll just wait you here,” Sheryl insisted. Sheryl knew she couldn’t stop worrying if she went home. So the best option was to stay here and wait to see what was going to happen. Realizing that she wasn’t going to change her mind, Andy exchanged a glance with Anthony and finally decided to allow Sheryl to stay.

Then they went upstairs and found the prostitute called Fanny. At first, she thought Anthony and Andy came to partake in her sexual service. So she put on a sweet smile and tried to fumble around Anthony’s and Andy’s backs.

But she was violently pushed away by them.

“Oh, my guests. You do know where you are, right? There’s no need to pretend that we don’t all know what the deal is. So please, let’s just get straight to the point,” Fanny said, feeling a little annoyed.

“That’s not why we are here. We are here to ask you some questions about this guy.” Then Andy took out a picture of Allen and showed to Fanny. “I heard that he came to see you this afternoon.
Do you know how can we find him?” he asked.

“Oh, this man…” Fanny cast a glimpse at the photo and said with dissatisfaction, “Why should I tell you anything? What’s in it for me?” Anthony took out a stack of cash, handed it to her, and demanded, “Now, tell us what you know.”

Fanny’s eyes lightened immediately. She took the money happily and while grinning from ear to ear, she said, “Sit down please. I will tell you everything I know.”

” Did this man come to see you today?”, Anthony asked the scowl.

“Yes”

Fanny nodded and said. “God knows where this man came from! he as so dirty and smelly. He had two hundred dollars but have the nerves to want to stay for the entire night.

Oh! He tried to frighten me by saying he was a murderer. Ha! I have done this jib for so many years and it’s impossible to frighten me with such lies, that guy really was some kind of a freak!”
