Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 197

When he said this, to be honest, the way I saw it, he didn't need to say anything more.

I knew early what happened after that.

Even so, I held myself back and said nothing.

Patrick said, "I was kidnapped that year. Besides asking for money, the kidnappers hated me for being rich and abused me. They beat me crazily during the kidnapping. Later on, although my parents agreed to give them money, they beat me to death."

"So that's how it is."

Patrick went on, "At that time, seeing that I was dying, the kidnappers were so scared that they didn't want the money anymore. They abandoned me at an old and abandoned construction site and ran away. It was in winter. The projects at the construction site were suspended. No one was there. I indeed thought I was going to die..."

"You met her."

I said it on his behalf.

To be more precise, he met me.

Patrick, who was stunned for a moment,

looked at me, "Did she tell you?"

"I..." I hesitated for a moment. Originally, I wanted to tell him the truth. But I wanted to know how Patrick had thought of me. So I shook my head and said, "I can guess it. After all, it is a cliche plot."

Patrick smiled lightly and continued, "Yes. Then she sent me to the hospital. Because my identity was unknown. And she was a child. The staff of the hospital refused to take me in. So she knelt to beg the doctor. At that moment, I..."

"You fell in love with her. And you made up your mind that you would marry her in your life. So you located her out of the vast crowd. And you wanted to marry her, right?"

I looked at Patrick.

For a moment, I found the truth so ridiculous!

It turned out that it wasn't me but Caroline who had been a dog in the manger!

Patrick nodded, "I did have been looking for her for many years, only to fail every time. When Grandpa arranged this marriage for me back then, I didn't agree at first. It wasn't until Grandpa sent me a photo of her that I recognized her at a glance."

I asked, "How can you be sure that it's her, not me?"

I didn't completely voice the confusion in my heart.

Patrick looked at me, "I wasn't sure either at first. But when I first met her, I mentioned that thing. And Caroline immediately told me all the details. Moreover, she was quite specific about the detail of her kneeling and kowtowing. My family members went to the hospital later. So no one else knew about it except her and me."

I was stunned.

Patrick was right. No one knew about that thing except him and me.

How did Caroline know?

I looked at Patrick, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then why do you believe that it is her? Haven't you ever thought that the one who saved you is actually me and that regarding this matter, actually, it was I who had told Caroline about this..."

"Is it you?"

When Patrick said these words, I could clearly see a light flashing in his eyes.

It seemed to be the best answer he had been looking forward to.

I looked at him and asked, "If it were me, what were you going to do?"

"If it were you, I would marry you. I've done so many wrong things before. And I took someone else as you by mistake. I'll compensate you with my entire life," As Patrick said, he stretched his arms and hugged me.

He pressed his thin lips close to my ear and asked, "Is that you?"

"It is me."

If it weren't for Stanley's matter just now, I would have answered him without hesitation. But at this moment, I hesitated and asked him, "Will you do anything for her because of this matter?"

"Yes."

Patrick answered without hesitation.

"Sorry, it's not me."

I said without hesitation as well.
