Robert Stephens's last wish was very simple.
He wished for Edward Stephens to allow him to see Charlotte Smith and George Stephens one last time.
When he went to prison, he refused to see anyone, but near death, he finally relented and followed his heart.
In his lifetime, there weren't many things he cared about, just Edward and Charlotte, and at last, a small child.
He had a contentious relationship with his brother, to the point of life and death encounters, and couldn't love the woman he liked. The only one he could truly cherish was George Stephens.
And George truly loved him too.
In his life, he received just this small, tender love.
And it was enough.
Such a small request, Edward could hardly refuse. Indifferent, he quickly arranged for someone to inform Charlotte, asking her to prepare and find a time to take Edward to see Robert.
This was Robert Stephens's only time, in over three months of unconsciousness, when he agreed to Charlotte's request to see him.
