Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 79

After Tyler left, I went to Patrick's ward.

He lived in a super VIP ward of this hospital. And his ward alone took up more than 100 square meters.

As I was about to enter the ward, I saw that Patrick was lying on the bed and that Wilson was reporting to him on the side.

So I waited outside in silence.

After a while, Wilson came out. When he saw me, he looked at me with a little strange look in his eyes.

After entering the ward, I walked over to Patrick's bedside. A corner of Patrick's hospital gown peeked out of the quilt, revealing a white gauze. And drip-feeding was hanging on the side.

"I'm sorry."

I sat down.

"I am good as long as you're fine."

Patrick reached out and held my hand.

Although Patrick's internal organs didn't get hurt, he had bled a lot. According to the doctor in the hospital, Patrick needed to stay in the hospital for at least a week. And then he could go home to rest.

During this week, I asked for leave from the cafe shop and focused on taking care of Patrick.

There were two reasons for me to do so. One was that he had been injured because of me.

Another reason was that I made up my mind that I would let Caroline go to jail and experience everything I had gone through this time.

At that time, I only hoped that Patrick wouldn't blame me.

Although he was very kind to me, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

In the middle, I took the time to contact the police named Tyler. He told me about some progress. To my surprise, regarding the call I heard Mrs. White had made that day, she had indeed called her daughter.

Before she went to prison, she had a child with a man. Since the child's father didn't want the child, Mrs. White raised the child by herself.

And it was because Mrs. White wanted to take care of her child that she told Tyler everything.

Mrs. White was sent to prison under the arrangement of Caroline. At that time, she, who needed to raise a child, was short of money. So, when Caroline found her and promised to make a deposit first, Mrs. White agreed for the sake of her child.

Caroline offered Mrs. White a more presumptuous reward this time, which was to help her clear her identity and let her go to another city to start her life all over again.

Mrs. White found her offer quite tempting.

According to Tyler, Caroline had been under their secret surveillance. When all the evidence was confirmed, the police would close the net.

I thanked Tyler over and over again.

But I didn't reveal anything on the surface.

That day, after Patrick' was discharged from the hospital, I received a call from the HR of the building decoration company with whom I had done an interview last time. And I was told that I could go to work there starting next Monday.

I thanked the caller over and over again.

After I was at home, I told Patrick about this matter.

Although Patrick felt that I would be a little worn out, he didn't say anything further.

That night, fearing that I would hurt his wound, I didn't want to sleep with him in the master bedroom. But Patrick didn't agree and forced me to sleep with him.

That night, I asked him as I was in his arms, "Patrick, who will you choose if you are asked to choose between me and Caroline?"

Patrick was silent.

He didn't respond.

His reaction made me even sadder.

I looked down and didn't look at Patrick's eyes. Then I continued to ask, "You can only choose one, Caroline and I can't co-exist. You must choose one. Who will you choose?"

Patrick was still silent.

He put his hand on my short hair and gently stroked it. After a while, he said, "Go to sleep."

Sure enough, he couldn't answer me.

He couldn't let go of Caroline.

He had said that he had to have Caroline in his life.

I wondered why I would be that stupid and what I was holding on to.

I closed my eyes and curled up in his arms. But I couldn't fall asleep.

The next day, Tyler contacted me again.

According to Tyler, the police had basically gathered all the evidence. Regarding the case of me going to jail, although there wasn't any evidence proving that I had been wronged, the evidence that Caroline had entrusted someone to abuse me in prison had been confirmed.

To ask for more lenient treatment, Mrs. White told the police everything. Moreover, the prison guards had confessed some as well.

These evidences confirmed Caroline's guilt.

In three days, the police would close the net and catch her.

I thanked him over and over again before I hung up the phone.

Patrick went to work. I went to a mall to buy a beautiful shell-colored dress, which was very beautiful and well-cut.

Although it was a little expensive, I gritted my teeth and purchased it.

That evening, I cooked by myself at home. I made steaks, bought red wine, and bought a few sets of lilies.

I wanted to make Patrick feel that I was so good and that he couldn't live without me. In that case, he probably wouldn't blame me after he found out what I was doing.

However, that night, I sat on the chair at the table and waited for a long time.

I kept waiting for him until it was over midnight. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Finally, I couldn't put up with it and called him.

However, the call waiting tone rang on the phone over and over again

Finally, someone picked my call up.

"Hello."

I recognized the voice at once and knew that the speaker was Caroline.

My hand holding the phone trembled slightly. And after a long time, I said, "Why are you answering my call on behalf of my husband?"

Caroline said without deliberation, "He is taking a bath."

I knew very well that Patrick was injured and couldn't take a bath at all, let alone having sex.

I held the cell phone and sneered, "Caroline Archer, do you think that I will doubt my husband with a few words from you? My husband has told me that he won't touch you. Because I am his wife."

I took advantage of lies to cover up my marriage, which I wasn't sure about.

However, Caroline, who was provoked by my words, said excitedly, "Bah! Charlotte Archer, don't think that you can be complacent after you were saved this time. Next time, I will surely let you die!"

Her words made me ascertain that Tyler didn't tell her anything.

And Patrick seemed to be busy with the affairs of his company. So he didn't pay attention to this matter either.

"It seems that I can indeed make her pay for what she has done this time."

Without further ado, I hung up the phone.

Although I knew that Caroline would get her retribution soon, my heart was still in a mess.

After all, she had answered my call, proving that Patrick was with her.

In the afternoon of the next day, Tyler called me and told me that the police had closed the net.

Caroline was caught in her studio. At that time, Caroline had said a lot of arrogant words in front of the police. But facing the evidence, she had to confess what she had done.

Caroline was detained because she couldn't be released from prison due to her serious crime.

How familiar this plot was! It was me who had been detained the previous two times. And it was her this time.

The second day after she was caught, I went to see her.

When Caroline saw me standing outside, she rushed up excitedly and shouted something. Because she didn't take the microphone, I couldn't hear her words.

Soon, she was controlled by the police.

I stepped forward, picked up the microphone, and said to Caroline, "I was innocent at that time. And you deserve it."

Caroline got rid of the control of the police, grabbed the microphone, and scolded, "Bah! Charlotte Archer, you b*tch! B*tch!"

Later, the police controlled her. I didn't say anything more and left.

Originally, I thought it would be my last time to see Caroline.

That night, Patrick didn't come to my house.

I went back to my home.

It was Monday the next day. I went to work. And my colleagues treated me well.

On the first day of my work, my main job was to be familiar with the environment. When it was the exact time to get off work, I left.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, my cell phone rang. I glanced at it and found that the call was from Gina.
