You Hit My Heart
Chapter 511

At this point, Charlotte was afraid that they would delve further into thetopic.

She leaned softly against Cecelia's side and said, "Mom, I'm not feelingvery well, and I'd like to go upstairs and sit for a while. Besides, Ihaven't met Dad yet."

Cecelia hastened to hold Charlotte's hand and said in an anxious voice,“You hurry upstairs to rest. Here, I and your father will take care of therest, and you don't have to worry. Make sure to take care of yourself.Mom can't lose you again."

"Hmm." Charlotte nodded.

At this point, Joyce said sagely, "Cecelia, we'll take our leave. You musthave a lot of things to take care of. Sorry, we could not be of muchhelp, so I won't bother you anymore."

Karl also said, "Ms. Hurley, I never thought we would be related in sucha way. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. Now that we arerelatives, I will take care of it, please don't worry."

"Good. I was unable to receive you properly because of the changes inmy family. I'll see you some other time." Cecelia replied sincerely.Charlotte waved her hand, "Bye."

She couldn't wait for them to leave. The more she said, the moremistakes she would make. She was afraid that any more sensitivetopics might be brought up, and she didn’t want Karl to have moreclues. Right now she just wanted to finish Rodney's funeral quietly andcover up the fact.

In fact, she was so scared inside. Although Karl had never met Mia oreven heard of her, his mother was one of the Coles after all, and hewas so familiar with Joyce. Although she had already destroyed the lastphoto of Mia in Rodney's hand, who knew if the Cole family still hadmore photos? If Karl saw Mia's photo one day, he would be able torecognize that Joyce looked very similar to Mia, and then with Karl'sreasoning ability, it would be easy for him to reason that Joyce was thereal daughter of the Heath family!

Her heart was completely panicked. For a moment, she even had thethought of killing Karl.

But she also knew it wasn't easy. How could it be possible for her to killa detective or the son of the Chief Justice?

Looking at Karl and Joyce's distant backs, she stared straight at them,as if she wanted to burn through both of them with her own eyes.Cecelia gently took Charlotte into her arms and said with concern,"Charlotte, are you okay? Your face looks white, do you want me totake you back to the hospital?"

"No, Mom, I'll just need some rest, I want to stay with Grandpa.”Charlotte leaned her head on Cecelia's shoulder and spoke softly."Good, you are such a good girl. Mom is so glad to have you." Ceceliaexclaimed.

No one could see the resentment and ruthlessness in Charlotte's eyesat the time.

She wanted to stay with the Heath family, and she wanted to seeRodney buried before she could feel at ease.

On the other hand, Karl and Joyce left the Heath family together.Joyce ended up taking Karl's car back to Eden Apartment because itwas too late and the subway was out of service.

Upon arrival, the two got out of the car and walked a short distance.

It was already as dark as ink.

The silent streetlight stretched their shadows long into the distance.Karl saw that Joyce didn't say anything along the way and suddenlystopped her, "What's wrong with you? Not happy?" He was a littlenervous at heart, was Joyce upset because he had concealed heridentity and background?

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it. I just ... I had a hard time saying it,that's why I left home, left the Capital, and came to Khebury with myidentity hidden, I..."
