Chapter 626
Charles didn't bring it up in front of Charlie.
Charlie clung to Luna, completely dependent on her. If Charles wanted to take Charlie away, he had to know where Luna stood first. He needed to talk to her, just the two of them.
"Ms. Cipoletti, I'd like to discuss Charlie with you-" Charles began, but didn't get to finish.
Charlie, sharp as ever, seemed to sense the shift in the air. She lifted her head from Luna's arms, her eyes wary and guarded as she stared at Charles. Then she turned to Luna, her voice trembling, "Mom..."
"Aurora, sweetheart, listen to me." Luna's voice was gentle as she stroked Charlie's hair. "I love you so much, but I'm not your biological mom. Now that your real parents have been found, you should go back to them..."
But Luna never finished. Charlie broke down, her voice raw, "No! I don't want to! I don't want to leave you!"
She glared at Charles, her rejection fierce. "You can't take me. I only want to be with Mom."
With that, she threw herself into Luna's arms, sobbing so hard her words were almost lost. "Mom, please, don't let me go. I don't want a dad, I don't want another mom. I just want you!"
"Aurora, please, listen..." Luna tried to soothe her, her arms wrapped tight around Charlie.
But Charlie wouldn't hear it. She shook her head furiously, tears streaming down her cheeks. "No, I won't listen! I don't care about anyone else, Mom. I just want you. Only you!"
When Luna didn't immediately reassure her, Charlie's sobs grew even more heartbroken. She shot Charles a look full of hatred. "You're a bad person. This is
all your fault! Go away! I don't want to see you. I'll never go with you!"
"If you make me leave Mom, I'd rather die!" she choked out between sobs, her little body shaking.
She was crying so hard she nearly passed out.
Charlie's rejection of Charles couldn't be clearer.
"Aurora!"
"Charlie!"
Both Luna and Charles called out at the same time, unable to stand hearing such desperate words.
Luna tried to keep her composure. For Charles, the pain was real-he'd already lost his daughter once, and the thought of losing her again was unbearable.
Watching his little girl sob like her heart was breaking, Charles felt
on Luna even more than he'd realized. To her, he was just a stranger-one she wanted nothing to do with. He didn't even have the right to comfort her, so all he could do was watch, helpless, as Luna tried to calm her down.
himself unravel. Charlie, net
But Charlie wouldn't settle. In the end, she fainted right there in Luna's arms.
"Charlie!" Charles's face went pale. He rushed forward, scooped her up, and bolted from the room.
The hospital was just around the corner from the DNA center. Charles carried her straight in.
After the examination, the doctor spoke gravely: Charlie was weak, her body frail. She needed to avoid any more emotional upheaval-what she needed most was rest and care.
Charles kissed her forehead, his heart aching with guilt.
This was all his fault.
Luna stood nearby, voice soft.
"Aurora suffered a lot in the Cipoletti
family. Her health was never good f you can bring her home, Mr. Jenkins, I'll support it. She just needs time to accept everything. I'll talk to her, help her er come around." !
She stood next to Charles, both of them watching Charlie sleep in the hospital bed.
"Thank you," Charles said, his voice barely above a whisper.
A little later, Luna turned to him. "Mr. Jenkins, you said you wanted Charlie to
meet her biological mother. Is she here too?"
"She is," Charles replied, still keeping
his guard up. He didn't mention m Evelyn by name or share any details. !
Luna didn't push. She just nodded and said, "Forgive me for speaking
frankly but it sounds like things weren't easy between you and Aurora
before. Is that why she's so resistant
to you?" The content is on
