Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 503

"What do you mean?" Hearing my words, Patrick raised his head.

I said, "Yeah. She is a healthy grown- up. However, Roger treats her as if she were a child and takes care of her either she walks or has food. Of course, Lisa has to be angry."

Patrick surely had got my point. He raised his hand and touched my head, saying, "Well, then be careful. But I will send a car to pick you up."

"No problem."

Although I didn't think it was necessary, I accepted it.

I did so to rest assure Patrick.

After the wedding ceremony, Ryan called me, saying that he decided to accompany Jessica to go back to the rehabilitation center of Holy Spirit Hospital to go through a systematic treatment until she fully recovered.

In that case, I should be the one that took care of Glenn.

Now that the relationship between Patrick and I had settled down, I agreed.

That night, after school, I went to pick Glenn up.

And we two went back to Unit Number One, City Y.

After knowing about this matter, Patrick went back home early that day, having dinner with Glenn and playing games with him after the meal.

I sat on the sofa and watched the two of them form a team and work together to pass the test. At that moment, I felt something.

The so-called peaceful time was exactly like this.

The next day, Patrick accompanied me to send Glenn to school. Then he sent me to work.

On the road, he hugged me and said with some dissatisfaction, "See? If you move your studio to my place, I can see you several times during the day."

"No." I twisted my body deliberately, "You go home every day to see me. If you see me at work every day as well, what if you are tired of me?"

"How could this be?"

He pressed down on me.

I tilted my head and dodged him, saying, "Don't."

In fact, after Patrick raised such a proposal, I wanted to move the studio to his place. But the new office building was ready with furnishing to be yet finished.

Nancy had gone there with me to check the office several times. And I could sense her excitement every time.

I was too embarrassed to raise such a proposal.

"Really?" He pressed me on the back of the seat with a serious look in his dark eyes.

I bit my lips, wondering whether I should tell him my struggle...

"I can follow you like a shadow chasing after light as if I were sleepwalking..."

Sounds of melodious music rang.

Hearing the ring tone, I was stunned for a moment. Only after that did I remember that I had changed the business ringtone into such a soundtrack previously.

Upon hearing this, Patrick was stunned as well.

I stuck out my tongue and reached out to get my cell phone.

Patrick had no choice but to make way.

I picked up thecell phone and glanced at the cell phone screen.

The caller ID on it read, "Finn Kelsi."

Seeing this name, I suddenly remembered what Finn had asked me to do!

A few weeks had passed ever since I returned to City Y. He surely had been waiting for me impatiently. That was why he called me.

Seeing the caller ID, Patrick didn't speak.

I didn't want Patrick to know about this, thinking that I could solve it by myself.

After a moment's hesitation, I hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Patrick asked, "Why didn't you pick up the call?"

I hesitated for a moment. As I was thinking about how to explain it to him, my cell phone rang again.

Finn called me once again.

Since I hung up his call just now, I might as well not pick up his call this time.

I made up my mind.

Directly, I turned off my cell phone.

Patrick squinted at me from the side, "What's wrong? Why is he looking for you?"

"Nothing."

I shook my head.

Of course, Finn turned to me for something.

Patrick surely knew that I was lying. But he didn't ask me anything further.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became incomparably quiet.

Neither of us spoke.

It seemed that he was waiting for my explanation.

But I didn't know how to explain it to him.

I didn't want to tell him that I had promised Finn that I would give out my marrow to be a match for him so that I could get Patrick's address. In that case, Patrick surely would be under pressure.

And he would blame imself for what he had done before.

However, I didn't expect that what was destined to come would befall in the end. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When we drove to the entrance of the studio, I saw several people standing there.

I looked over and saw Finn at first sight.

I couldn't help but feel that my heart had skipped a beat.

The first thing I did was to turn back to look at Patrick with a glimmer of hope.

If he didn't pay attention to it, I would get out of the car as soon as possible!

Unfortunately, as I looked at him, he looked outside the car, gazing in the direction of the studio's entrance.

Patrick's car was very eye-catching.

As soon as his car showed up, it attracted everyone's attention.

Finn was the first to turn his head. Seeing Patrick's car, he walked over without hesitation.

I sat in the car, feeling a little depressed.

Ever since I went abroad to find Patrick, I seemed to do this kind of thing frequently, making myself end up being in traps instead.

"Get out of the car." After Patrick finished his words, he added, "I'll be with you."

Looking at him and seeing that he looked serious, I knew that I couldn't escape and had to open the car door.

As soon as the car door opened, Finn said to me, "Charlotte, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you pick up my call? Don't think I don't know. I heard from Kelsi that you and Patrick have already made up. It's all my credit. You..."

He said a lot of words non-stop. When he looked up and saw Patrick sitting in the car, he suddenly stopped talking.

Without saying anything, I got out of the car first and helped Patrick get out of the car.

Standing there with a cane, Patrick asked Finn first, "What's going on?"

Hearing this, Finn knew that I didn't tell Patrick anything. He immediately put on a miserable look and told Patrick what had happened roughly, including that he had been sick and that he hoped that I could give out my marrow to match with that of his.

However, he didn't mention that Kelsi had refused him.

Patrick, who was not stupid, asked directly, "Did Kelsi's marrow fail to match that of yours?"

"This..." Finn was stunned by his question.

Logically, Finn was an elder. However, in front of Patrick, he had to call him Mr. Cowell, which indicated the relationship between them.

Now that Patrick asked him a question. If Patrick knew that he lied, he knew what kind of consequences he would have to bear.

Finn's thin face was full of confusion.

Patrick continued to ask, "What's wrong?"

Finn looked at him and hesitated. Finally, he said, "She didn't do it."

"Didn't she do it?" Hearing this, Patrick was obviously surprised, asking, "Kelsi is your daughter who had been by your side ever since her childhood. As far as I know, she came from abroad ahead of us. Why did you come to us instead of her?"

As I calculated it, a few months had passed ever since I went abroad last time.

Finn should have started his treatment.

I saw that the back of his hand was full of pinholes.

His hands were bandaged with adhesive tape from the hospital. And some blood was seeping out.

His hair was jet-black and thick. Clearly, he wore a wig.

Hearing Patrick's question, Finn looked gloomy. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "Alas! I have raised my daughter for so many years, only to have an ungrateful daughter! She said that she would rather break up with me than do a marrow match for me!"

As he spoke, I saw that tears welled up inside the white of Finn's eyes which were somewhat turbid.
