Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 514

She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years. She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?”

"The operation was successful.”

Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad.

Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good."

Then she turned around and was about to leave.

Patrick said, “Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you.”

"I blame myself for being stupid.” Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?”

She didn't go on but left with her head down. I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?"

"Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to rest. You have been staying up all night."

"It's okay. I'm not tired. I'll go to see Grandpa Cowell first."

I insisted.

Patrick didn’t force me.

Later, Ned did get out of danger, but his whole body condition was also much worse. He couldn't even get out of bed. We went to visit him after he got better.

Patrick told the thing about Roger to Ned. Ned sighed. "Alas, Mr. Newman is a paranoid person. I didn't expect his grandson would be even more so.” ‘It's all over now.”

Patrick said

Ned was looking at Patrick when a sound came from behind us. He looked up and shouted, "Shelton."

I turned my head as well

Shelton was standing at the door.

He pushed the wheelchair for Shirley.

Shirley was sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket on her body. With a hat on her head. I could see almost no hair under her hat. She looked very thin. The hand on her leg was stuck to the adhesive tape for infusion.

Shirley said to Ned respectfully, "Mr. Ned, I haven't seen you for a long time.”

Seeing Shirley, Ned seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, "Shirley, it's really been a long time. I'm very happy to see you." "Me too.”

Shirley answered

Shelton pushed Shirley in and said to Ned, “Father, I'm getting married to Shirley.”

"Great. great.” Hearing this news, Ned couldn't agree more.

He showed a pleased smile.

Ned stretched out his hand, and Shelton immediately pushed Shirley in front of him. Ned grabbed Shirley's hand and said, "I've been waiting for this day for decades. Fortunately, it has finally come."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

We stayed with Shelton in the ward for a while. Because Ned needed treatment, we came out together. After coming out, Shirley said, "Miss Nolan, are you are going to get married?" I touched my belly and said, "We're not in a hurry. We may wait until the baby is born.”

Shirley nodded, "I've made two wedding dresses for you, and one of them is in my studio. When you are going to get married, remember to ask Manager Warren to bring it to you.”

I remembered that I had left the wedding dress Shirley gave to me at Patrick's house. Hearing her words, I was a little embarrassed. “Sorry to trouble you."

“It's no big deal.” Shirley smiled. "People who can stand up look better in a wedding dress. And we'll be a family in the future. You dan't have to be polite with me."

"Thank you.” Then I looked up and asked Shelton, "Miss Shirley's condition..."

"She's getting better," Shelton replied

My heart was relieved to hear this news.

We left the ward together.

We had just reached the door when suddenly several police officers rushed in and walked straight towards us.

My heart hung high at the sight of the police.

A police came over and stood in front of Shelton, took out his identity and said; "Mr. Shelton, someone> reported that you are suspected ofa falséimprisonment case, please come to the police station.with us."

We were all shocked

Especially Shirley, she grabbed Shelton and asked in a panic, "Officer, Did you make a mistake?”

The police ignored Shirley and said to Shelton, "Please cooperate."

Shelton nodded. From the expression on his face, I could see that he was not surprised at the arrival of the police. It seemed that he knew exactly what the police were talking about.

Shelton turned around and patted Shirley on the shoulder. "Wait for me. I will be back soon. It's okay.”

"But..."

"I'll go with you.”

Patrick said

They left together.

I pushed Shirley back to her ward. Because I was afraid that Shirley would be worried, I stayed with her all the time

In the ward, Shirley grabbed me and said, "Call Patrick and ask him what happened."

I was afraid that there would be any bad news, sot didn't dare to call Patrick. I sould only comfort her. "He is in the police station. It's certainly not cgnvenient for him to answer the phone. When he comes out, he witFdefinitely contact me. ‘Content bélongs ©

Shirley sat in a wheelchair. I could feel how helpless she was. She looked out of the window with vacant eyes. "He promised me that he would not do anything bad, how... why...” "Miss Shirley.” I walked over and held Shirley's hand. "Don't you believe him?"

I..." Shirley looked at me in confusion.

I understood her.

Sheldon had done a lot of bad things before, plus his calm expression when he was taken away by the police. It was impossible for Shirley not to doubt him.

I accompanied Shirley in the hospital for a day.

In the evening, I finally received a call from Patrick.

He only told me, "He has been released on bail, but now we still needs to communicate with his lawyer about the case. We can't go back for now." "What happened? Who did he imprison?” I asked nervously.

I really couldn't think of it.

Patrick was silent for a while. He was in a dilemma. Finally, he chose to tell me, “Emily.”

As soon as I heard the answer.

I saw.

If it was Emily, I would understand.

No wonder Emily seemed to have disappeared after the previous accident.

It turned out that Shelton had found her and locked her up.

When I returned to the ward, Shirley stared at me nervously. "What did he say?”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, he has been bailed out."

"What did Shelton do?” As expected, Shirley still asked me.

I looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and didn't know what to say. In the end, I said, "Let him explain it to you himself."

This matter was a bit complicated, and coupled with the relationship between Emily and Shelton, I was afraid that it may stimulate Shirley if I failed to explain it clearly.

Shirley, however, guessed something from my expression and smiled bitterly, "I see, is it his lover or something?”

"No, don't think teo much." I hurried to comfert her.

Shirley shook her head. Although her expression was somewhat helpless, she stiff Said. "I believe it was before, and I believe he didn't court other worden after he got back together with me." :to “
