Chapter 889
The news regarding the earthquake was all over Twitter, and many volunteers were seen rushing to the
affected area to provide aid.
There were also many others who were following the news, and even Joseph’s aunt was trending on
social media.
Someone wrote: Ashlyn is Joseph Field’s aunt? The way he addresses her as Aunt Ashlyn is so cute.
Finding it amusing, anothermented: My aunt and my best friend became husband and wife.
Later, Fae posted: Sorry for posting at a time like this. Ashlyn is like family to me, so I hope everyone
can turn their attention to the disaster. Thank you.
After she posted that on Twitter, she noticed that Charlotte, who was beside her, was watching the
news with a pale expression.
Charlotte felt as if she had been struck by thunder when she saw the scene of the disaster on the
television.
She started to feel dizzy as if her world was about to end.
She never knew that disasters were this horrendous.
She took in the dejected faces of the victims and listened to their cries for help. When she saw Joseph
carry the cold body of a five-year-old boy lying in the mud and put it in the coffin, she almost broke
down.

Then she saw how the mother of the child was kneeling in the mud, wailing in grief.
Unable to hold back her tears, she allowed them to stream down her face.
She suddenly understood why Joseph, Ashlyn, and Lucas had rushed over to the scene when they first
heard the news.
At that moment, Charlotte was overwhelmed by emotions. She bit her lower lip and immediately ran
upstairs.
When she came down, she was already in a different clothing.
She was now wearing a pair of Dr. Martens shoes, a pair of ck pants, and a ck jacket. Her hair
was even tied up into a ponytail.
She had a suitcase with her, and inside the suitcase were foods and clothes.
Seeing that, Fae walked up to her and looked at her in shock. “Lottie, what are you doing?”
“Mum, I’m going to join Joseph, Ashlyn, and the rest.” The tears were still streaming down Charlotte’s
face, and her voice was low as she went on, “I can’t just sit here and watch them when they’re risking
their lives over there.”
“Lottie, Ashlyn knows martial arts, and both Joe and Lucas are men. You’re so thin. What can you even
do when you get there? Do you want them to take care of you even when they’re already busy
enough?”
Fae was trying to talk Charlotte out of this. Her husband, her son, and the others were there in the
disaster area now. She dared not imagine if anything were to happen to them. She really hoped that
Charlotte wouldn’t go. What will happen to me if everyone leaves me?
That thought made her feel even more depressed. She already had tears rolling in her eyes as she
said, “Lottie, listen to me. Don’t go.”
“Mum, I’m an adult now, not a little kid. Joseph and Ashlyn are there too. I really don’t want to see them
in danger, and I don’t want to be someone who hides behind everyone. I want to help everyone in the
disaster area, and I want to face and bear that with all of them. I want to be with them no matter what
happens!
“Besides, there are so families that have be homeless, and some even lost their families. Mum, I
want to go. I really do. I don’t mind if it’s just carrying bricks or cooking for them. I just want to be with
Joseph and Ashlyn. You’re worried about them too, right? I feel the same as well. Can you really sit
here and do nothing when they’re there?”
Fae was at a loss for words.
She parted her lips, but words wouldn’te out of her mouth.
In Fae’s perspective, they were all her children, and she would try her best to protect them from
anything no matter what.
However, she had forgotten that they had already grown up now, and she was getting older.
Fae only hoped that everyone she cared about could be safe. Instead of replying to Charlotte, she
stood up and helped Charlotte wear the hat that was hanging at the entrance. After that, she went to
her room and quickly changed into warm clothing.
