Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 189

Edwin didn't overthink it and gave his cell phone to me. Then he went out by himself.

In fact, Patrick was waiting for me outside. I picked up the cell phone, planning to do a life-or-death struggle!

I picked up the cell phone and thought it repeatedly. Finally, I thought of a suitable person.

It was Shelton Cowell.

The nurse was treating my wound again. Although it hurt very much, I had been focusing on how to get out of Patrick's control!

With my memory, I roughly remembered Shelton's number. I dared not to call him. So I could only text him.

I texted him first, "Mr. Shelton!"

Soon, I received a reply, "Charlotte Archer, what's the matter?"

He directly called my name, giving me a subtle feeling.

I couldn't care about anything else. I continued to text, "I was kidnapped by Patrick. I want to leave him. Can you help

me?"

After I sent this text, Shelton didn't respond for a long time.

I clutched at the cell phone. And my palms were sweating. It was probably because I was distracted that I didn't feel much pain when the nurse was dealing with my wound.

When the nurse helped me bandage my wound, Shelton still didn't reply to my text.

I regretted it immediately. After all, Shelton was Patrick's uncle.

Now that as I thought about it, even though Patrick didn't treat Shelton well, Shelton had never said anything ill of Patrick...

Edwin came in and asked me, "Are you done using my cell phone?"

My heart trembled. And I said, "I'll be done with it right away!"

As I spoke, I texted Shelton, "Don't reply to my text". And then I quickly deleted all the texts before returning the cell phone to Edwin.

Seeing me like this, Edwin teased me, "What's wrong with you? Are you texting your lover?"

I immediately became nervous and shook my head, "No."

Edwin put away his cell phone and chuckled, "It's just a joke. Don't mind. I always think that Patrick is indeed a good man. You surely know this point better than I do."

"Well..."

I answered dully.

"is Patrick a peerless good man?"

He probably was. But it was a pity that I, who had gone through so much, couldn't deserve him anymore.

When everything was done, I went out. And Patrick was waiting for me at the door.

His face was very pale. When he stood up, he obviously shook. Looking at him, Edwin frowned slightly. "The anti- exposure drugs have different effects on everyone. Some suffer great side effects. While others suffer few side effects. The two of you are a sharp contrast."

Seeing that I stood there safe and sound, Patrick hooked up his thin lips into a smile, "It's alright. It's fine for me as long as she suffers fewer side effects. It's okay if I suffer greater side effects."

His words were like an invisible hand, tightly clutching my heart.

I felt so sad.

What he had done was always forcing me to be cruel. However, at the same time, it made me fail to be cruel.

On the way back, Patrick put his arm on my shoulder. It seemed that he didn't exert much strength. But it was like a huge cage, making me unable to move.

We didn't say a word along the way.

In the evening, I "took" the anti- exposure drugs with Patrick. And then I lay down early on my own. About an hour later...

I heard sounds of Patrick stumbling in and going into the bathroom.

Then, the sounds of his vomiting and his fists hitting the floor came from the bathroom.

It seemed that as time passed by, the side effects of the anti- exposure drugs were getting worse and worse on him.

My heart was in a tangle.

I couldn't help but feel distressed for him.

I was even thinking about how to convince Patrick that it wasn't me in the video and that I surely couldn't be sick.

Half an hour later, the sound of a shower turning on came from the bathroom.

When I was about to fall asleep, he came out of the bathroom.
