Chapter 1117 The Whole Truth Revealed
The message was sent by Austin to Tina. [Where are you now? I've successfully sent everyone else away. Hurry up and come over!]
Tina: [I'm downstairs at the inpatient department. I'll be up soon.]
Charles squinted his eyes, looking at the message Austin sent.
The "everyone else" in Austin's message should refer to Martin, Ryan, and Lassie, who were at the hospital at the time. He sent Martin, Ryan, and Lassie away? What did he want Tina to do?
Charles looked at Martin in surprise and handed the phone to him. "Dad, do you remember this time?"
Martin looked at the message and then at the time on it, thinking confidently for a moment.
After all, it was a long time ago, and it wasn't a particularly important time period. Nothing particularly memorable happened, so his memory wasn't very clear.
"I remember! That day, Carter had just been transferred to a regular ward. In the evening, Austin told us to go back to the hotel to rest, and he stayed to take care of Carter."
After a pause, Martin suddenly remembered something, his eyes widened, and he looked Tina up and down. "I remember, that night, Ryan and I saw Tina."
Charles and Lassie both changed their expressions. "You saw Tina?"
Lassie also couldn't believe it. "She went to Carter's ward?"
Martin nodded. "Yes! That night, Ryan and I were worried. After sending you back to the hotel, we came back. We thought either we would stay with Austin for the night or let Austin go back to the hotel to rest. At that time, Ryan and I saw Tina in the ward."
"Because I had only seen Tina once, the light in the ward was very dim, and she was a woman, I didn't look closely. So when I saw Tina again in the detention center in Country H, I didn't recognize her."
Everyone was shocked by Martin's words. Charles turned to Austin, gritting his teeth. "Why did you let Tina go to the hospital?"
"I..." Austin didn't have time to argue before Lassie realized something and rushed over, slapping him hard. "Tell me, is your father's coma related to her?"
Austin instinctively denied, "Mom, no, it's not! How could you think that?"
Lassie's tears fell one by one. She took a deep breath. "You're still lying? Your father's health indicators were all normal, why hasn't he woken up until now? Tina is so powerful, she can hypnotize, erase memories, and make people sleep. Tell me, did you have her hypnotize your father to keep him asleep?"
She trusted Austin and never doubted him, but she wasn't a fool. When she trusted Austin, maybe she couldn't figure out many things at the time. But when she woke up, what was there that she didn't understand?
Thinking back now, many things had traces to follow. When the doctor said Carter had passed the critical period and would wake up soon, Austin wasn't happy but scared.
Why was he afraid of Carter waking up? Why did Tina come to the hospital after the doctor said Carter could wake up?
After Tina went to the hospital, Carter remained in a coma, and even the doctors couldn't find the reason. All of this was obviously related to Austin.
Austin still didn't admit it, looking at Lassie with a wronged expression. "Mom, I'm your son. Do you believe an outsider over me? You've raised me for twenty years. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Have I ever done anything to worry you in these twenty years?"
Lassie didn't expect that he still wouldn't admit it at this point. She was so angry that she wanted to hit him again, but Charles stopped her. "Don't be anxious, let's keep watching!"
Lassie held back her sadness, came back to Charles, and continued to watch with him.
[Found Hannah.] This message was sent more than an hour after the second call. It was sent by Tina to Austin.
Austin: [Where are you now? Where did you find her?]
Tina: [I found her at the police station. She got lost and was taken to the police station! We're in a cab now, heading back.]
Austin: [Did anything happen?]
Tina didn't answer his question but sent a random message. [When will you arrive? Are you still coming?]
Austin: [I should be there in about half an hour.]
Tina: [Okay! Let's talk when we meet! When we get back, I'll take her for a bath and then let her sleep well.]
After this conversation, they didn't message each other for another day.
Austin: [I've arranged the route. Tomorrow night at 1 AM, at the Four Crossings, I've arranged people to meet you! Take Hannah and leave directly.]
Tina: [Okay!]
Austin: [Don't bring too much stuff. Buy what you need when you get there.]
Tina: [I know! I'll message you once the boat leaves safely.]
Austin: [Okay! Safe travels, take care of Hannah, and be careful!]
Tina: [I know!]
After this message, they lost contact until Charles deliberately had the caregiver buy her a phone, and they contacted each other again.
Charles knew that the reason they lost contact was that Tina had been captured by them at that time.
But after capturing Tina, the female officer searched her. Besides bank cards, documents, and some cash, nothing suspicious was found.
It seemed that when she realized she couldn't escape, she simply threw her phone into the sea.
Even at that time, she could calmly hypnotize Hannah and throw away her phone. Although Charles didn't like her, he genuinely admired her. She was ruthless and capable of big things.
All the content on the phone was checked. Although there were only conversations and a few unclear call details, their limited chat records could clearly outline the whole event.
Austin and Tina had known each other for a long time. To take Hannah away from Charles, he deliberately guided Charles to find Tina for Violet's psychological treatment.
Later, Tina helped Austin hypnotize the swapped Hannah, took her out of Sunset Bay, escaped to Country H, and arranged a new identity for Hannah.
During their time in Country H, Tina stayed with Hannah. She was there to monitor her.
But the current Hannah was no longer the fourteen-year-old child she once was. Her willpower was stronger than before. So she wasn't as easily hypnotized as she was eight years ago.
When Tina was hypnotizing Carter to keep him asleep, Hannah somehow ran out and ended up at the police station, where her photo was taken by the police, leading Charles to find her.
