Chapter 889 Be With Them
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, another commented: 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 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 black pants, and a black 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,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand 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 become 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't come 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.
