Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 382

At this time, Sheridan, who originally didn't want to intervene, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He came over and said, "That's enough, Dulcie. Let them in."

"Sheridan, how come you help them too? This woman...She..."

"All right. Don't make trouble in the hospital if you have something to say. It will make a fool of yourself." Sheridan looked irritated.

Judging from the expression on his face, I could tell that he should have found Dulcie an annoyance.

During this short interval, Patrick pulled me slightly. Only then did I go in with them.

In the ICU ward, Ned lay on the only hospital bed with a stomach tube on his nose, an intravenous drip on his hands, and countless instruments beside him.

His eyes were tightly shut. There was sallow skin on his wrinkled face.

Actually, it hadn't been long since I met him last time. But Ned seemed to have aged for several dozen years old.

Glenn asked Patrick next to him, "Did Grandpa fall asleep?"

"You have to call him Great- grandfather." I reminded Glenn.

Now that Glenn addressed Patrick as his father. In that case, he should call Ned Great-grandfather Ned.

Hearing us talking, Ned, who originally closed his eyes, opened his eyes slightly. Upon seeing Glenn, he curled up the corner of his dry lips, saying, "Glenn, are you here?"

His hoarse voice indicated that he was old and devoid of much strength.

Glenn nodded his head.

Patrick moved a chair on the side over. Glenn sat on it and looked at Ned, asking, "Grandpa, Greatgrandfather, what's wrong with you?"

Glenn corrected his wording.

Ned moved his lips slightly, "I am ill." He knew why Glenn called him like this.

"Really? Then you have to do as the doctor says carefully. Be good. Get an injection and take your medicine. You'll be fine soon!"

Glenn, who was young, had no idea that getting sick would be divided into several kinds of situations.

He thought that Ned was the same as him and that Ned got a cold and a fever. In that case, Ned could be cured by taking medicine and getting injections.

Hearing his words, Ned couldn't help laughing more brightly. And he said, "Well, okay. Greatgrandpa surely will do as the doctor says."

"Okay." Glenn nodded, stretched out his hand, and patted Ned's hand, saying, "Then, Grandfather, after you recover, I'll go have fun with you again."

"Okay, okay." Ned nodded slightly.

As he spoke, his blurry eyes were moistened.

He looked up at us after a long while and said, "Patrick, Janetta."

"Grandpa."

Patrick approached Ned. And I stood there.

Seeing Ned like this, to tell the truth, I was extremely sad in my heart. I might not have made him end up like this. But Ned did become like this because of me.

It was true that the reason why Ned became like this toady did have something to do with me.

I looked at Ned and said, "Grandpa Cowell, I'm sorry."

Ned looked up at me and spoke, "Stupid child. I don't blame you. I had done these things. Since so, I should be ready to be exposed by others."

"Great-grandpa, don't think too much. I'm looking for Uncle Shelton. I'll ask him to give you an explanation for this."

Patrick said on the side.

Ned shook his head, "Don't look for him. He has hatred against me in his heart. I know that. And I know what kind of person his mother better than any one of you. After I left, he should have lived a hard life. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this."

Ned's words reminded me of what Shelton had told me that night. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Could it be that he had told me the truth?"

"Did Shelton really have such a miserable childhood?"

For a moment, neither Patrick nor I spoke.

Ned looked at the three of us and said, "I'm leaving soon. I can't control what will happen in the future. You can do whatever you want."

"Great-grandpa, where are you going?"

Glenn asked, sitting on the chair.

Ned looked at him and smiled. "I'm going to a faraway place."

"Ah? Can I see you again?"

"You probably can't..."

Glenn was confused, asking, "Then what should I do if I miss you?"

Ned tried hard to raise his hand and hold Glenn's little chubby hand, "After you grow up, you will know a lot of people and friends. At that time, you will forget your great-grandfather..."

"I surely won't." Glenn grabbed Ned's hand with both hands, "According to Mother, I'm so smart that I'll never forget what I ever said. And I'll never forget you, Great-grandfather."

"That's good." Ned nodded and looked at Patrick and me, saying, "You two have to be with each other well..."

"Grandpa Cowell..."

I felt sour in my heart.

At this time, a nurse came in and said, "Sorry, the visit time is up. The patient needs to be treated next."

Glenn grabbed Ned's hand tightly, saying, "Greatgrandfather, we are leaving. And we will come here to see you again!"

Glenn had only seen Ned a few times. Even so, they were blood relatives.

I pulled Glenn, saying, "Glenn, let's go. Well come here to see Great-grandfather next time." "Okay!" Glenn jumped off the chair. Although he was walking out of the room, he kept turning his head to wave at Ned.

And Ned kept turning his head to look at him.

He had more tears in his eyes.

By the time we came out of the ward, Dulcie had left, leaving Sheridan alone there.

Sheridan looked at me and only said, "I know I can't stop you from marrying her. Even so, neither your mother nor I will acknowledge her."

After that, he left too.

It seemed that Sheridan waited here to say so to Patrick.

Glenn, who was confused, looked up at us, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." I picked up Glenn in my arms directly and looked at Patrick. After a long time, I said, "I'm going back to Town S and stay there with Glenn for a while. After we come back, let's have a talk."

Patrick put one hand in his pocket and looked at me, "Okay. When will you leave? I'll see you off."

"No need." I gave him a reassuring smile, "I'm not a child. It's not like I will get lost after catching a flight."

In fact, I don't want to be a burden to Patrick anymore.

The reason why the entire Cowell Family had turned into such a state indeed had something to do with me.

I didn't want to see Patrick end up like me in the end and get betrayed and abandoned by all his family and friends.

"I want to see you off." Patrick was unmoved by my refusal.

Next to Patrick, Glenn spoke for him, "I also want Dad to give us a ride!"

In desperation, I could only agree. "All right."

The next day, Patrick sent Glenn and me to board the plane. We arrived at City S first before heading for Town S.

Before this, I had contacted Nancy. She said that I could leave the affairs of the studio to Paulina and her.

Upon arriving at Ryan's house in Town S and pushing the door open, we heard someone screaming!

"Ah! Help me!"

"Babies! Give my babies back to me!"

I looked at it and found that Jessica was chasing a servant.

I quickly turned around and pressed Glenn's shoulders, saying, "Stand here. Don't move. I'll go

and have a look."

After that, I rushed over to Jessica's side, trying to catch her.

As a result, Jessica turned around and pushed me away.

She had great strength. I, who got caught off guard, was directly pushed to the ground, hitting my head against the stone on the roadside!
