<h4>Chapter 766: 766-A Mother Must Sacrifice</h4>


    <strong>Author’s POV:</strong>


    Charlotte took a deep breath while sitting in the car with her mother.


    "Do you see what Hnie has been up to?" she asked Charlotte, who was fidgeting nervously with her fingers.


    "Yeah, I don’t know. I haven’t paid attention to her," Charlotte said, half lost in thought.


    Her mother had been noticing her for a while, and she couldn’t help but wonder what was going on with Charlotte. She would stay on long phone calls with Darcy. She would even visit Darcy without Emma, and Emma did not like it. She wanted to know what was going on because she did not trust Darcy at all.


    "Charlotte," Emma extended her hand to ce it on the back of Charlotte’s hand, gently nudging her awake. "What is going on with you? Is there something bothering you? Did Darcy say something to you?" Emma asked, worried that Darcy must have put some burden of responsibility on Charlotte that was making her so worried. She thought her daughter was too innocent to be dealing with that cunning woman alone.


    "Actually, I have been meaning to talk with you, mother, about this issue," Charlotte said, gently cing her hand on her chest and then tucking her dress in her fingers, almost like hiding her cleavage. But she wasn’t wearing a deep neck. It was just the sense of suffocation she was feeling, or probably guilt.


    "You know you can talk to me about anything, and I will never judge you," Emma said, happy that her daughter was finally going to open up about whatever was going on in her life.


    "I wanted to know if I’m a bad daughter," Charlotte asked, and Emma was quick to shake her head to let her daughter know that not at all. She was the best daughter she could have ever asked for.


    "You know who is the bad daughter?" Emma asked. "Hnie. Look how she is making her mother suffer. You, on the other hand, you are the best daughter. You always listen to me. You never got me embarrassed. But Hnie, she makes her mother suffer so much, always in a drama. It is one thing or another. I always tell everyone very proudly that I am so d Charlotte is my daughter. If you don’t believe me, you can ask them," Emma said very proudly. But she noticed that her daughter still did not smile.


    "Okay, now you are worrying me. At least just tell me," she insisted. And Charlotte let out a deep breath.


    "You think Hnie is a bad daughter?" she asked her mother. And Emma was quick to nod her head.


    "She is the worst. I would not even wish her upon my worst enemy." Then, she noticed how Charlotte moved her head and gently tapped on the shoulder of her driver.


    "Can you please stop the car here?" she asked, stopping the car in the middle of the road, next to the woods.


    "What is going on? Why are we stopping here? Is somebodying here to meet us?" Emma started to bombard her with questions. Questions that were so hard for Charlotte to answer.


    "Just pleasee with me," Charlotte said as she got out of the car.


    Even though her mother was afraid of the woods now because of X-codex, there was no way she would not listen to her daughter. So, she quickly followed her daughter outside. She trusted her daughter with all her might. She could blindly go after her.


    "Why are we here? We should not be here. You know how unsafe this ce has been?" Emma tried to remind Charlotte that they did not have any warriors with them. Just a driver who did not even seem too interested in reminding them that the world was under monsters’ grasp now and that they should be very careful.


    Charlotte turned to face her mother, and her mother noticed how many tears she had in her eyes.


    "Can you pleasee with me?" Charlotte asked in a very sweet yet vulnerable voice as she extended her hand for her mother to hold.


    At this point, Emma was freaking out, seeing her daughter cry like that. She had a bad feeling that Darcy must have upset her somehow. Darcy had to be the one who had said something to her that was making her so upset.


    So, she instantly held her daughter’s hand and started walking off with her.


    "You know I will go to hell with you. You’re my daughter. We are in this together. We have been in this together for a while," she began to remind her daughter, the two taking off into the woods. Even when the thought of being in the woods at this time was scary like anything for Emma.


    Once the two had walked into the woods, Charlotte began to feel the pressure on her hand. She realized her mother was scared now.


    "What happened, mother? You don’t trust me anymore?" Charlotte asked. And it was the way she even said it. She turned and faced her mother, who began to shake her head.


    "I trust you. Why wouldn’t I? That never even crossed my mind. I just don’t trust those things lurking in the woods. The Zharns. Don’t you know, They have killed one of Hnie’s friends. I’m afraid they will attack us. So, let’s go. Whatever you have to talk to me about, we can talk about it anywhere else if you feel like the mansion is bugged or anything." Her mother, Emma, did not even imagine that her daughter was going to do what she was going to do to her.


    "I know you’re proud of me, mother. But I’m really sorry. I have to do this." As soon as Charlotte said that, she pulled out a knife from her bag. Her mother’s eyes widened, and then she stared at Charlotte.


    "Charlotte, what are you doing?" The minute she began to step back, Charlotte held her hand.


    "You said you loved me, mother. Then why won’t you sacrifice yourself for me?"


    The moment Charlotte started to say that, Emma’s entire life began to sh before her eyes.
