Simon had a very bad relationship with Ted. Even in Simon's mind, Ted's image had almost been demonized.
He would never forget how cruelly Ted treated his uncle's family. Simon would not have hated Ted so much if Simon had not seen Ted's reckless means.
Joshua fell into the hands of Ted. After such a long period of time, Joshua did not contact them and even abandoned Hazel, who was pregnant. Hence, Simon could only think that Joshua had been coerced by Ted, and what Joshua did now was not Joshua's original intention.
"So, what should we do now?" Chester asked anxiously.
"Let's look for Hazel first," Simon said in a deep tone. "Whatever it is, let's find Hazel first. Maybe we can also save Joshua."
Although Madeline suggested they exchange hostages, Simon didn't want to do that unless he had to.
Chester agreed. He did as Simon ordered and continued to search for Hazel.
Elsewhere, Hazel felt a little sleepy due to Joshua's pestering.
