Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 266

"Say it."

"For two of us, only one can stay in City Y. The winner will get the company and her. And the loser will get out of here by himself. What do you think?"

As Patrick spoke, he had a sharp look on his face.

Shelton surely would lose this gamble.

Shelton didn't say a word.

Staring at him, Patrick said with a smile, "What? Uncle Shelton, are you afraid? Are you afraid of losing money or losing her?"

Shelton looked back at me and said, "Okay."

"No. I am not yours. On what rights can you make a bet with me?" I was so angry that I stood up from the bed, put on my shoes, and walked out directly.

"Janetta."

Shelton behind me intended to chase after me, only to be stopped by Patrick.

I heard Patrick say, "Uncle Shelton, do you want to bet? It's not too late for you to raise the bet after winning it."

I was so angry and anxious.

How could there be someone like Patrick?

In a fit of rage, I turned around and walked to Shelton's side. Looking up and hooking Shelton's neck, I kissed him on my initiative and asked, "Shelton, let's go get a marriage certificate."

"Okay."

Shelton didn't hesitate at all.

"Uncle Shelton, you just promised me. Now you are against the rules by doing so." As Patrick spoke, he clenched his hands tightly.

On the surface, he was expressionless. However, his eyes were red as if they were on fire.

Shelton ignored him and picked me up in his arms.

Patrick directly came over to stop him, "Uncle Shelton, don't force me."

"I've said that I don't belong to neither of you. Why did you use me as a bet? Have you ever got my consent?"

In Shelton's arms, I looked at Patrick.

"Master!"

As we were in a stalemate, a maid's voice came from the direction of the staircase, driving away the silence.

I quickly jumped down from Shelton's arms.

Patrick and Shelton both quickly rushed to the stairs and went downstairs hurriedly.

When I got there, I saw that Ned lay at the staircase with a pale look on his face.

Without deliberation, I knew Ned surely had been listening to our conversation upstairs here for a long time.

"Don't move. I'll call an ambulance over."

Shelton said.

After all, Shelton was a professional doctor. Instead of arguing with Shelton, Patrick followed his instructions.

After Shelton called an ambulance, the maid relayed to us about what had happened just now.

As I expected, Ned had been standing on the first floor. When the servants wanted to go upstairs to stop us, he stopped them.

A short while later, Ned fainted.

I stood upstairs, feeling extremely remorseful.

All in all, if I hadn't gone upstairs, the accident just now probably wouldn't have happened.

I went downstairs step by step and said to the maid, "Can you lend me a set of your clothes? I want to go to the hospital with them."

I couldn't leave dressing like this.

"My clothes are all cheap. You're a lady. They aren't for you."

I could feel the hostility in the maid's eyes when she looked at me. It was obvious that she had heard the conversation upstairs just now and that she had ascertained that I was a Helen of Troy.

"I have some clothes in the car. I'll get one for you."

Patrick said.

Hearing his words, I was stunned, wondering why he got clothes for women in his car.

However, at this time, I didn't have time to care about so much.

Soon, Patrick brought me a bag of clothes. I took a look at it and saw a neat set of clothes inside, including underwear and lingerie...

'TH get changed." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Holding the bag in my hands, I went to the room where the incident had happened just now to get changed.

I didn't put on the lingerie and underwear. However, with a glance at their sizes, I knew that Patrick had prepared them specifically for me.

"Why did he specifically prepare clothes for me?"

"Could it be that everything that happened today was planned by him earlier?"

I dared not think about it. Neither did I want to.

I changed my clothes, finished tidying up my hair, and went out of the room. After a while, an ambulance arrived. The medical staff moved Ned into the ambulance.

The three of us all got into the ambulance.

On the way, Ned suddenly woke up, opened his mouth, and shouted, "Shelton."

"Father, I'm here." Shelton quickly grabbed Ned's hand and comforted him. "Don't worry, we'll be at the hospital soon."

Ned shook his head and looked at him. Then he turned around and saw me.

Staring at me attentively, he said, "Today, I will make a decision for you."

Hearing his words, I realized what he was going to say.

Ned raised his hand slightly and strected out to me.

I quickly reached out and grabbed his hand.

Ned grabbed my hand with one hand and Shelton with the other. Then he put the two of us's hands together and said, "All over my life, I owe two persons. One is Rosy. And the other is Shelton's mother. So if I leave, the one I will be worried about the most will be Shelton."

Actually, Ned's words indicated that he had ascertained who I was.

Although he didn't say it clearly, I got his point.

"Father, don't talk nonsense. You will be fine."

Shelton's eyes turned red when he spoke.

Hearing his words, Ned didn't respond. Instead, he looked at me and said, "Janetta Nolan, Shelton is a good child. If you marry him, he will treat you quite well. You surely will be very happy. So, I hope you can promise me today that never will you give up on Shelton."

"Mr. Ned..."

Ned's words made tears well-up in my eyes.

Instead of asking me not to break up with Shelton, he told me not to give up on him.

As expected, Ned was the one who understood everything the best.

I could feel that he was holding my hand with less and less strength little by little. Having a bad feeling in my heart, I quickly nodded. "Okay, I promise you."

"I...I hope that you can be with each other for a long time. Now that I'm old. It is not until I recall the past that I know that marriage can't always be as vigorous and shocking as the first encounter. Instead, it's like a trickle taking a long time to exhaust. With that, you can go further."

Ned said slowly.

His voice sounded terribly hoarse.

Shelton was a little worried, "Father, you don't have to say anything more."

Ned didn't do as he said. Instead, he looked at Shelton and said, "Shelton, regarding what I did to your mother before, it is my fault. I don't expect you to forgive me. I hope you will be happy..."

"I have stopped blaming you early!" Shelton grabbed his hand and tried to persuade him, "You have to live well and attend the wedding of Janetta and me."

"I surely will attend."

Ned nodded.

Patrick sat on the side without saying a word.

Looking serious, Patrick tightly clasped his hands and furrowed his brows tightly.

Ned turned his head to him, "Patrick, you've been working hard all these years."

"Grandpa." Patrick finally raised his head.

Ned stretched his hand out. Seeing that, Patrick immediately handed his hand over to him.

Ned said, "In the past few years, you have been fighting hard outside alone. Others can only see the brilliance and glory of the Towering High Group. I know that you have put in a lot of effort in it. I probably cared about whether you were excellent or not in your childhood and forgot to teach you other things, leading to such an outcome today."

No one answered Ned's words.

We all knew what he had meant.

"Ever since your childhood, whatever you want, you can get it as you wish. It makes you feel you can always get anything with ease if you want." Ned let out a sigh, "Speaking of this incident, in my opinion, love is the only thing in the world that you can't buy."
