Chapter 1206 Charlotte is Dead
After saying what she needed to, Charlotte's consciousness began to fade.
"Austin, you've never called me 'Mom.' I'm dying. Before I go, can you call me 'Mom' just once?"
It was her final wish.
Austin's eyes were bloodshot, tears welling up.
After a moment, he suddenly laughed. "Mom? Do you deserve it? Do you? You ruined me. My whole life is destroyed because of you."
Regret surged through him.
Charlotte looked at Austin with longing, but she had never heard him call her "Mom" before she closed her eyes for good.
"Charlotte," Martin screamed her name, as if trying to wake her.
"Charlotte."
"Aunt."
Patricia and Charles also called her name.
But Charlotte would never respond.
She was dead in Martin's arms.
Austin's laughter grew more hysterical, and his tears kept falling.
"Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Ha! My whole life is just one big joke." He grabbed Charlotte's shoulders and shook her violently. "Tell me, why did you give birth to me? Why? Why didn't you just kill me back then? I'd rather have never been born into this world.
You say you're suffering, that you don't dare to live!
But what about me? Am I not suffering?
You ruined my entire life!
I could have lived a carefree life. But you, you came and disrupted everything, making me hope again and again, only to be disappointed each time!
Charlotte, you're a demon. You don't deserve to be a mother. You're not my mother. You're not, you're not."
The last words were shouted with all his strength.
If Charlotte hadn't suddenly appeared and told him he wasn't Violet's biological brother, he might have suppressed his feelings for Violet and slowly turned them into familial love.
Even if he liked her, he would never have actually married his own sister!
It was Charlotte who led him step by step down a path of no return.
It was Charlotte who taught him that to get what he wanted, he had to use any means necessary.
She led him down a path of no return.
Halfway through, she ran away, leaving him behind, and now she had the nerve to ask him to call her "Mom!"
And the most ridiculous part!
All the hatred was just a carefully planned conspiracy!
He was a bastard who didn't even know who his real father was!
Why did she have to tell him this cruel truth before she died?
Why did she have to drag him into an abyss?
She should have taken this truth to hell with her, rather than letting him know.
Charlotte was truly selfish.
She never cared about him as her son.
Seeing Austin almost shake Charlotte to pieces, Charles couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him away. "Austin, when someone dies, their grudges die with them. She's dead now, and your grievances should end too! Even if you don't like her, she's still your biological mother! You can choose not to forgive her, but let her leave in peace!"
Austin pointed to his chest and sneered, "She's dead? What about me? Tell me, what about me? She told me to seek revenge! She told me I could have Hannah! She told me she was my biological mother and would always protect me! But now she's run away! Ha! She's a coward, a turtle hiding in its shell, leaving me to suffer while she leaves peacefully."
His heart ached.
The more he spoke, the more it hurt.
The pain made Austin pound his chest with his fist, hoping to ease the ache.
Charles looked at Austin with a complex and sympathetic expression.
Suddenly, he didn't seem to hate him as much.
Because Austin was also a victim of the previous generation's grudges.
Sensing Austin's emotional turmoil, Tina immediately walked over and tightly held his hand, saying tenderly, "No, your mom's gone, but you still have me! I'll take care of you in her place! Austin, I'll be with you for the rest of your life!"
Charles looked at Austin, "You're my cousin! Now that Aunt's gone, the grudges are over! I won't hold anything against you anymore!
I'll arrange for you and Tina to go abroad and give you some money!
Tina's a good girl. Cherish the people in front of you and don't chase after things that don't belong to you! Aunt's death teaches us that we shouldn't be too stubborn!"
Austin didn't know if he heard him, but suddenly he said, "I want to see Hannah."
Charles replied, "Hannah's pregnant. It's not suitable for her to see you! You can ask for something else, and if I can fulfill it, I will."
Hearing this, Austin suddenly became quiet.
He stared at Charles.
After a while, he found his voice. "You, you said Hannah's pregnant?"
Charles nodded, "Yes! She's pregnant, and the baby is less than three months old, so it's not suitable for her to come to a place like this!"
Receiving confirmation, Austin suddenly laughed.
He laughed exaggeratedly until tears came out.
He laughed and then cried, just like Charlotte's earlier madness.
"Hannah's pregnant, ha, Hannah's pregnant."
Charles looked at him strangely, not understanding why Hannah's pregnancy elicited such a strong reaction.
"She doesn't love me. She really doesn't love me. Ha! We were engaged for two years, and the most I could do was kiss her cheek. She wouldn't even let me touch her lips!
She said she was shy, that a girl should be self-respecting and save the best for the wedding night!
I believed her!
I cherished her!
As long as she didn't agree, I never crossed the line! I always thought she wasn't rejecting me, but that she was conservative and self-respecting, unlike other girls who were so casual.
Ha.
But now, now she's pregnant! You tell me she's pregnant."
This clearly hit him hard.
He kept repeating, saying she was pregnant.
Harper, who had been silent, couldn't hold back anymore and spoke up, "Fool, if a woman truly loves a man, she'd give him her heart, let alone her body! That whole purity thing is just an excuse because she doesn't like you, you idiot!"
Though harsh, it was the truth.
Tina loved Austin. If Austin wanted her body, she would give it to him without hesitation, never saying she wanted to save the best for the wedding night.
When people truly loved someone, they wanted to be with them day and night, never wanting to be apart.
When feelings ran deep, who cared about purity? They could stay in the room for days and nights!
Moreover, from beginning to end, Aust never even touched Violet's lips!
This clearly showed she was repulsed by Austin's touch.
When someone was repulsed by another, it only meant they didn't like them!
