Chapter 117
“I just feel like we have a connection.” Wesley’s gaze drifted to his mother. “And seeing how close she is to you… Well, you’ve more than earned this
compensation.”
Charlotte picked up her coffee cup. “Mr. Rayburn, forgive me for asking, but–what happened to your mother? Was there some kind of trauma?”
From the way they carried themselves, it was clear the Rayburns came from a prominent background. In families like this, marrying someone with mental health issues was nearly unheard of, so Charlotte doubted Mrs. Rayburn had been born this way.
It seemed more likely she’d suffered some kind of shock.
Wesley tapped his fingers against the table. “If things hadn’t gone wrong all those years ago, I’d have a little sister now.”
Charlotte blinked. “A sister?”
He nodded. “After my mother gave birth, the doctors told her the baby was stillborn. She saw it happen with her own eyes, and her mind has never really recovered. Some days she’s lucid, other days she’s lost in confusion. She’s always believed my
sister is still alive–that she didn’t die.”
“No wonder,” Charlotte murmured, glancing at Mrs. Rayburn, who was sitting nearby feeding milk to a doll. “Losing your own child… I can’t imagine how hard that must
be.”
She found herself envious of children who had loving parents.
Unlike her…
Her own birth parents had abandoned her the moment she was born.
Maybe it was that lack of love as a child that made her crave affection so desperately now. Pathetic, really–pathetic and small.
But at least…
She had nothing left to lose.
