Chapter 44

MEGAN'S POV

I walked into the house and saw Eric standing with a glass of water in his hand while standing by the stairs and thinking about something which seems completely wrong because he is usually not home by this time of the day.

"Hey, baby," I called out and he jumped before looking at me. 

"Hi, I didn't see you." he gave me a slight hug and backed away. 

"Why are you back so early?"

"I was done with my work and wanted to come home to see my beautiful girl."

"But you are extremely worried and trying to divert my attention from that which is clearly not happening any time soon so tell me what's going on." I snapped and he knew that he had no chance of arguing with me based on how he felt because I knew him too well.

"Belle is in the hospital and she's in critical condition. No one has an idea where Charles is."

"Good heavens! Since when?" I placed my hand in my head feeling completely stressed.
