Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 363

"What?" Hearing her words, I was incredulous, "Who paid the remaining fees for her?"

"As for that, I have no idea about it." The nurse shrugged.

Then, she asked me to fill out some forms for transferring Jessica to another mental hospital.

While Shelton went to contact his connections and get Jessica transferred out of here.

After filling out the forms, I sat there thinking about the nurse's words. After finishing contacting his connections, Shelton said to the nurse, "We will transfer Jessica to the rehabilitation center of Holy Spirit Hospital."

As the nurse heard these words, her face immediately changed. And she said, "Who are you? It is not like you can transfer her to Holy Spirit Hospital at will."

Shelton looked at the nurse, thought for a moment, and said, "My name is Shelton Cowell. At the Holy Spirit Hospital, I am.."

"It turned out to be you, Dr. Shelton!" Before Shelton could finish his words, the nurse immediately knew who he was, saying, "Oh, people in other industries don't know you. In our industry, everyone knows you. You are now someone popular in our industry."

Shelton didn't say a word.

Because the hospital was relatively far away, it would take some time for the ones from Holy Spirit Hospital to pick us up here.

During this period, the nurse spoke to Shelton nonstop. Even though Shelton ignored her, she went on talking at will. In the end, she stated the purpose, "Dr. Shelton, there are so many hospitals under your charge. Can you transfer me to another hospital? The work here is heinous."

"I will contact your dean and ask him to organize the hospital," Shelton said flatly.

The nurse was unwilling to give up, saying, "That's the Dean's business. I... I have been very nice to Jessica on usual days."

"It's impossible." Shelton immediately refused, saying, "I've given you the money. If you want to change your job, go for it. What I paid you can help you live a stable life for a while."

Hearing him mention this, the nurse couldn't say anything more.

The car of Holy Spirit Hospital was still on the way. So I wanted to go up to see Jessica, which the nurse immediately refused. She said, "Don't go there. If something happens, I can't afford it. Let's wait for the car to pick her up directly."

Seeing that Shelton didn't say a word, I knew that he didn't want me to go there either.

Although a skinny woman seemed to be approachable...

She was aggressive. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

About two hours later, the car from Holy Spirit Hospital finally arrived. The nurses went to pick up Jessica. As soon as the door of the ward was pushed open, one of them directly threw up.

Because of what I said before, Jessica left with us quite cooperatively.

However, because of the particularity of her illness, the car that came to pick her up wasn't an ambulance but one where the police detained the prisoners.

Instead of sitting with us, she was seperated from us by a glass wall.

Without any luggage, Jessica only had two dolls.

She smelt stinky. All the nurses were unwilling to get close to her. Only I stayed with her.

I had told Jessica that there would be a teacher in the new place. Because of this, Jessica, who was quite cooperative, didn't resist at all. Sitting there obediently, she held the two cloth dolls in her arms.

On the way back, I asked her across the glass wall, "What are the names of your babies?"

"My elder daughter's name is Caroline. And the younger one is named Charlotte."

Jessica replied seriously.

I felt sour in my heart.

The baby named Charlotte shall be me. It turned out that Jessica named Caroline Archer as Caroline.

I asked again, "Then, what kind of adults do you want them to become after they grow up?"

Jessica looked at me. On her skinny face, there was a pair of bright eyes. Hearing my question, she seemed to see the light and said, "They can do everything they want. As long as they like it and that they are happy, I am fine with it."

When Jessica spoke, she curled up the corner of her cracked lips, revealing a beautiful curve.

I looked at her, feeling overwhelmingly complicated in my heart.

Why? Why was life so unfair to her?

The car drove all the way to the rehabilitation center of Holy Spirit Hospital. Shelton had specially arranged a suite for Jessica there.

The first thing she arrived there was to take a shower.

All the nurses stayed away from her. Smelling the stinky smell on her body, they looked quite reluctant.

I took the initiative to step forward and said, "Let me do it. I'll help her take a shower."

The nurses all looked at me in surprise.

I went up, supported Jessica readily, and opened my mouth. Fearing that she couldn't accept it, I said, "Aunt, can I bathe you? By the way... I can bathe your two babies."

"It sounds good!"

Jessica accepted it happily.

All the nurses looked at me with a strange look in their eyes.

Ignoring the look in their eyes, I stepped forward and helped Jessica take a bath.

The rehabilitation center of the Holy Spirit Hospital was in quite a good condition.

There was a bathtub where people could sit inside. After I finished pouring the water into the bath, I let Jessica sit inside. I cleaned up the dolls first. Seeing that, Jessica became quite obedient.

I bathed her with scented soap first and then rubbed her with a bath towel little by little.

It had been a long time since Jessica took a bath, making her body covered with a layer of shell-like and hard skin. Seeing so, I asked Shelton to fetch me some white vinegar. After that, I bathed her bits by bits.

Sensing that the water turned cold, I scooped the cold water out with a basin and added hot water in.

It took me nearly two hours to bathe Jessica.

In the end, I helped her clean herself up.

After that, I led her to stand below the showerhead, applied some body wash on her body, and washed her clean. Jessica didn't say a word from beginning to end. Instead, she kept staring at the dolls. After the bath, I helped her clean up her body and get changed.

During the process, Jessica looked at me and said, "Thank you."

I was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, I felt happy from the bottom of my heart, saying, "You're welcome."

Jessica got quite long, long hair.

After the bath, I helped her to dry her hair.

Because it had been years since she washed her hair, her hair was like withered grass. Even though I had applied a lot of hair-preservings on her hair, her hair tied up into knots. However hard I tried to comb it, I failed.

Jessica looked at me and smiled, "You can cut it." "Really?" I was a little surprised.

Her hair was quite long.

It was such a pity to cut it.

Hearing my words, Jessica nodded.

It was indeed quite inconvenient to have such long hair. I fetched a pair of scissors and directly cut her hair, making it one meter short.

Her cut hair was quite messy. So I put it aside first.

It was a lot easier to comb the rest of her hair. I helped her comb her hair, dry it, and tie it into braids.

All of a sudden, Jessica looked a lot more refreshed.

Looking at me, Jessica continued, "Thank you."

I looked at her. For a moment, I actually felt that she was a normal person and that she wasn't ill.

I even wanted to take her back home.

However, at this moment, Jessica looked at me and asked, "Where is the teacher educating my babies you mentioned?"

Her words brought me back to reality at once.

I looked at her sadly and forced a smile, "You need to get used to the environment here now. The teacher will be here soon." "Okay." After Jessica heard this, she bowed her head and said to the dolls, "Did you hear that? You can learn knowledge soon. And then, if you want to learn drawing, I can teach you."

I looked at Jessica and felt extremely sad in my heart.

I stayed there for a while before leaving the ward.

Shelton had been making a phone call at the door. When I exited the ward, he happed to finish the call. So I went over and asked him, "Have you found the one that paid the hospitalization expenses

for my mother?"
