Chapter 626: No Regrets
Tina pushed open the heavy iron door and rubbed her arms. Despite the sunny day, the place felt ominously cold and terrifying. "Mom, Grandpa, are you sure you don't need me to accompany you?" Tina asked.
Grandpa Brookes shook his head. "No need. Just wait outside for us. Alina and I can handle this feud alone."
Tina nodded and watched as Natalie and Grandpa Brookes entered. She then sat in the car and started eating a strawberry cake.
As Natalie pushed open the door, a nauseating stench of filth hit her. The person sitting in the room slowly turned her head at the sound. Her hair was messy and draped over her shoulders, clearly unwashed for days. Her clothes were stained, and her bare feet were caked with mud. The foul smell emanated from her.
Seeing such a scene, Grandpa Brookes sighed deeply. "Rachel..."
Rachel had been confined here since surviving an explosion at a cliff and being treated in the hospital. The place looked like a detached villa but was essentially a prison cell with fully furnished, albeit black, furniture that never saw the light of day. The large yard felt like a haunted house. There were no lights, no windows, and even the walls were black.
Rachel, living in this perpetual darkness, suffered a fate worse than death. Although food was delivered daily just to keep her alive, she lost all sense of time and place, unable to hear anything and only finding food when hunger compelled her to fumble in the dark.
Suddenly exposed to light, Rachel struggled to adjust. After a long while, she managed to see who was before her. She slowly stood up, her mouth agape but no sound coming out. She stared blankly at Natalie and Grandpa Brookes. After what seemed an eternity, she suddenly ran towards them, shouting, "I am the only true daughter of the Brookes family, I am the only true daughter..."
Natalie struck her, pushing her back and shielding her father.
Grandpa Brookes shook his head, realizing the depth of Rachel's obsession. "Rachel, there's nothing left to say. I raised you all these years, and now our ties are severed. I will never forgive you. Stay here and fend for yourself." With that, Grandpa Brookes patted Natalie's hand, signaling it was time to leave.
Natalie had no desire to speak further with the madwoman. Today's visit was merely to help Grandpa Brookes make a final break.
He had sincerely raised Rachel as his own daughter, never mistreating her. But their father-daughter relationship had to end.
As they turned to leave, Rachel's eerie laughter echoed in the darkness, her face twisted and grotesque. She resembled a character from a horror movie, lying on the ground.
