Every word Patrick had said was firm and clear.
Around us, Gina, Caroline, and Jeremy were all in an uproar!
Especially Caroline, who was standing by the fence, looked at me with jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
Her expression showed that she wished she could come over right now and kill me.
As I was hesitating about how to answer him, I heard another voice from the entrance of the rooftop, "Let me go up. Let me go up. Caroline! My baby granddaughter."
"This voice..."
"Grandma!"
I tilted my head and saw Rosy standing at the entrance of the rooftop.
However, no one was supporting her on the side!
I shook off Patrick's hand that was holding onto my arm. Then, I rushed forward and helped Rosy up.
At the same time, I took a look in the direction
of the passage to the rooftop.
Then I saw that a figure in a white coat was about to leave.
As I held Rosy, she, who was very weak, leaned on me. However, when she saw Caroline in the distance, she stretched out her arms shakingly, "Caroline, come down. Be good."
"No, Grandma. I'm so ashamed as to go on living in this world."
Caroline said with tears in her eyes.
However, I didn't see any sadness or surprise on her face. Neither could see her worry about Rosy at all.
It was as if Rosy was someone that she could take advantage of.
Rosy grabbed my hands and kept shaking as she said, "Caroline, Caroline, don't scare me."
When she spoke, it was obvious that she was breathing with difficulties.
I was scared out of my wits, "Grandma, Grandma, please go down and rest. Leave this to us!"
As I said, I wanted to help Rosy leave.
However, Rosy grabbed the wall by the side with one hand and said, "No, I won't go. I have to wait for Caroline to come down."
I knew that she was worried about Caroline.
I could only shout at Caroline, "Caroline Archer, come down!"
"No. I won't. I've been defiled. The child is gone. Patrick doesn't want me anymore. There's no hope for me to live on." After she said that, she paused and said, "Charlotte, you have to take good care of Grandma, Dad, and Mom for me."
After that, she looked like she was going to jump down again.
"No! Caroline!"
Rosy didn't know the situation just now. Now, when she saw Caroline like this, she was so scared that she wanted to go forward.
But her body was too weak. And her body starts to get cold.
I was so scared that I said to Patrick, "Call the doctor! Call the doctor!"
Patrick immediately asked Wilson to call the doctor.
At this time, Gina seized the opportunity to say, "Mr. Cowell, please agree to marry Caroline. We don't ask for anything but only for her to live on!"
Based on Caroline's words just now, she could no longer get back the former two things she had lost. However, for the third one, Patrick, he was right here.
Hearing that, Rosy looked at Patrick and then at me.
After hesitating for a long time, she said with difficulty, "Charlotte, let Patrick take Caroline down."
Regarding what Rosy said...
Wasn't it what Caroline wanted?
Caroline stood there. And the wind was strong. She seemed to be on the verge of collapse. However, when Caroline heard Rosy's words, she quickly said, "No, I want him to agree to marry me and promise not to leave me. Except for Patrick Cowell, I have nothing else to ask for in my life."
"No way."
At this moment, no one spoke. But Patrick refused first.
Hearing this, Caroline squatted down and moved to the edge of the rooftop bit by bit. Then she looked back at us and said, "I know. Goodbye..."
