Chapter 1205 Austin's Background
The truth was too much for her to handle. Unable to cope with the shock, she completely lost her mind.
The trauma Hunter inflicted on her was so severe that she selectively forgot what happened that night.
After losing her sanity, she was abused by many men and later imprisoned by a disgusting, foul-smelling man in a small house where she was violated daily.
It was during that time that she became pregnant.
But some so many men raped her that she didn't even know who Austin's biological father was.
And she always thought the child in her belly was Hunter's!
She forgot that when she drugged Hunter that night, he threw her out!
She subconsciously believed that they had made love that night.
She also forgot everything that happened during her period of madness.
When she regained her sanity, Harper told her that she was in a mental hospital and that there had been a fire there. He was the one who saved her.
Thinking of this, Charlotte laughed.
She threw her head back and laughed.
Her face was covered in blood, and the blood flowed into her mouth, staining her teeth red.
Her laughter was like that of a ghost, making her look terrifying and grotesque.
But she didn't notice at all.
It was so ridiculous. She didn't even know who the father of the child in her belly was!
And she foolishly thought it was Hunter!
She even forced Austin to avenge Hunter, committing so many heinous acts.
Reflecting on the past, she felt like a joke.
She had lived her entire life in lies.
As a child, it was her mother's lies. Later, it was Hunter's lies. After Hunter died, she lived in her own lies.
Patricia, Martin, and Charles had already reached Charlotte's side.
Martin's usually calm eyes reddened slightly when he saw Charlotte's condition. He trembled as he ordered the bodyguards to call 911, but Charlotte stopped him. "Martin, my brother..."
One sentence almost made Martin cry.
"You, you finally acknowledge me as your brother!" He trembled as he tucked Charlotte's disheveled hair behind her ear.
Charlotte smiled bitterly. "Martin, I'm sorry."
Martin couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell.
Patricia also couldn't help but cry.
Charles's eyes reddened too.
Martin said anxiously, "Don't talk, save your strength. I'll take you to the hospital. I survived so many things when I was a kid; you'll be fine!"
As he spoke, he tried to lift her from the ground.
But Charlotte smiled and pressed her hand on his. "Martin, my life has been too hard, too hard! I really don't want to live anymore."
Her words were like a knife, stabbing Martin's heart.
Martin cried; he cried so sorrowfully.
Ignoring the blood on Charlotte, he held her in his arms. "Charlotte, it's my fault! I didn't protect you! If I had found you earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much, and you wouldn't have been trapped by Hunter's small favors!
Charlotte, you must survive! If you do, I promise I'll let Austin go. I won't hold him responsible anymore!
He's my nephew, Charles's cousin! We're family!
From now on, we'll be a loving family and never be apart again!"
His heart ached.
He could feel her regret and despair.
Yes, he had once hated and resented this sister!
But now, at the brink of life and death, all the memories flooded back.
"Martin, hug me, I want you to hug me!"
"Martin, I want that colorful lollipop. Will you buy it for me?"
"Martin, the chubby kid in kindergarten, always bullies me. I told him if he dares to do it again, I'll have you beat him up."
"Martin, Mom and Dad fight every day. Are they going to divorce? I don't want them to divorce. I don't want to be separated from you! I can't bear to leave you!"
"Martin, Mom told me she can't bear to leave me and wants me to choose her! Dad has you and Grandma, and Grandpa. Mom is so pitiful! She only has me! So, I chose to go with Mom."
"Martin, I won't see you anymore. Will you miss me?"
"Martin, when I get abroad, I'll contact you right away. You must come visit me when you have time!"
"Martin, Martin..."
These words brought back all the forgotten memories.
The long-lost sibling bond surged back.
Martin held Charlotte tightly.
Once, they had been very close siblings.
Charlotte always liked to cling to him, asking him to play with her.
When Charlotte first left, he missed her so much that he couldn't sleep at night.
He hoped every day that she would contact him.
But after she and their mother left, there was no news. They completely lost touch.
After Martha's repeated attempts to harm him, barely surviving each time, he focused on self-preservation and survival. His sister gradually faded from his memory.
Until this moment, the childhood bond was rekindled.
But his sister's life was slipping away.
Mentioning Austin, Charlotte remembered the son she had neglected for twenty years. She mustered her last bit of strength and reached out to him.
Austin was in shock.
It wasn't until Tina pushed him hard that he snapped out of it. "Austin, your mom wants to see you! Go to her!"
Austin, as if waking from a dream, forgot all the grudges between him and Charlotte. He stumbled over, kneeling beside her.
"You..." He struggled to find words, but his throat felt blocked, unable to make a sound.
His heart ached, filled with sorrow.
Charlotte tried to touch Austin's face, but her hand fell, too weak. "Austin, I was wrong! You should have had a great life, but my selfishness ruined it! I'm sorry."
Austin's mind was blank. He didn't know how to react, only responding instinctively. "If you feel sorry, then live and make it up to me."
Charlotte's smile deepened.
But it was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
"Life is too hard. I can't go on! In the next life, I don't want to come back."
Austin smiled bitterly. "You think it's hard, so you escape, leaving me to suffer alone. Charlotte, you've always been so selfish."
Charlotte smiled, but a tear slid from her eye.
She beckoned Austin closer."I have something to tell you."
Austin obeyed, leaning in.
Charlotte's lips moved, her voice barely audible. But when Austin heard her words, his eyes widened, and the light in them shattered.
