Chapter 417


    Charlotte woke up to the triplets'' handwritten note and felt a warm fuzzy feeling in her heart.


    It had been almost twenty days since she was fired from Divine Corporation. She could only have a


    quick dinner with her triplets as she had to head outte at night until the next morning for her work at


    Sultry Night.


    It was already middle of the night when she was back from home, rendering it impossible for her to talk


    to her children as they would be fast asleep.


    However, she was beyond d that her children understood her predicaments and behaved well.


    Nevertheless, Charlotte still felt guilty for not being around for her children. At that point, all she wanted


    to do was to earn enough money to pay for Mrs. Berry''s treatment. Then, she could go back to her


    normal life, and in turn, spend more time with her kids.


    Ring... The phone rang at that moment. It was Olivia checking in on her, asking if she had gotten out of


    the bed.


    Charlotte snapped out of her thoughts and rushed to get ready. She dashed for the door and made her


    way to the City Hospital to meet up with Olivia.


    Thetter had been waiting at the entrance of the hospital when Charlotte arrived. The two of them


    headed toward the ward. On the way, Charlotte asked her friend about her mother''s condition, and


    Olivia started to recount her bitter past.


    "When I was in middle school, my dad passed away. Mom became a janitor at apany in the city to


    support my studies.


    "Her boss was a Good Samaritan. He knew about my mother''s condition and sponsored my studies


    right here in the city. My expenses and tuition fees for high school were paid for by her boss.


    "The boss''spany had gotten into some trouble when I was in my final year of high school. The


    police had even gotten involved.


    "One day, a mysterious person barged into thepany office looking for the boss. My mom thought


    that the man might harm the boss, and wanted to remind him. However, for some unknown reason, she


    fell from the building...


    "She was lucky to fall on the balcony just one floor down, and survived. However, she had been in a


    Charlotte felt her chest tighten after listening to Olivia''s story. She led thetter to a rtively quiet


    ce and asked, "Olivia, what''s the name of thepany that your mom worked at? What''s the


    boss''s name?"


    "It''s Windt Corporation. The boss''s name was Richard Windt. You see, he had the same surname as


    you. That''s why I felt quite close to you after you told me your name the first time we met."

    Stumped at the revtion, Charlotte was rendered speechless.


    "What''s the matter, Charlotte?" Olivia was perplexed at her friend''s reaction.


    "Fate really has a way to bring people together," Charlotte felt a wave of emotions wash over her.


    "Richard Windt is my father!"


    "Huh?" Olivia was stunned. "I''ve heard my mom mention that Mr. Windt had a daughter. I just did not


    expect it to be you." "Did you know my dad passed away four years ago?" Charlotte''s eyes brimmed


    with tears. "He jumped off a building." "I know, it was on the news." Olivia''s eyes went red. "My mom


    got into aa on 20th April while Mr. Windtmitted suicide on 21 st April."


    "Did you mention that someone was trying to harm my father?" Charlotte asked anxiously.


    "Yes. My mom called me at the time and said that a mysterious man had barged into thepany to


    look for your father. She thought that the man might try to harm him, and wanted to remind your father


    of the potential danger.


    "I was so worried about her and told her to go look for the security guard to back her up. However, she


    did not even get to finish before the line went dead. I tried calling her multiple times but the call just


    would not get through. On the very same night, I''d gotten the news that she fell..."


    Tears began to stream down Olivia''s cheeks as she recounted the incident.


    "My mom had already lost her consciousness when I rushed to the hospital. Mr. Windt was right


    outside the emergency room as well. I could see that he was so guilty about the whole incident. He left


    me his watch and left without saying a word.


    "I really had no idea what he was trying to do, and I finally realized his intention the next day after I


    watched the news. I think the watch was the only valuable thing that he had left, and he gave it to me in


    hopes that I could use it for my mom''s treatment..."
