Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 364

Shelton put his cell phone into his pocket, looked at me, and shook his head, saying, "No. I've called the Dean of the Oasis Hospital. He said that it happened 30 years ago. At that time, it wasn't as informative as the Internet Age now. Moreover, the man came with cash. So there was no way to check his identity."

"Did he pay by cash?" I couldn't help feeling a little incredulous, saying, "According to the nurse, the man paid 50 years' hospitalization fees in one go. Moreover, there were all kinds of other expenses. Thirty years ago, it would cost at least a million dollars. At that time, he could afford to present that much cash...”

The more I thought about it, the more complicated I thought the man was.

Hearing what I said, Shelton wasn't moved in the slightest. He nodded and said, "With my guessing, if the man didn't fail in his business, he should be a big shot in City Y now."

Nobody surely would pay for my mother's hospitalization for no reason.

However, there were two exceptions. As Patrick once said, someone was good to another person either because of the feelings or the benefit.

My mother had gone mad at that time. After she was sent to the Oasis Hospital, the man went there to pay her fees. What he had done made me ascertain his identity.

That was, he was my biological father.

I lowered my eyes and thought for a moment. Then I said, "Forget it. In fact, it makes no difference whether I can find the man or not."

My mother was fine when she left home. However, when she returned home, she had been mentally unconscious.

The fact that the Reid Family had taken the babies away wasn't what drove my mother crazy.

Instead, it was the last straw crushing her.

Those days after she left Archaic Architecture Sect and stayed with my biological father should be what had irritated her fundamentally.

Moreover, he clearly knew what would happen to my mother if she was sent here. But he ignored this, paid fifty years' hospitalization fees for her, and left.

He should be quite merciless in his heart.

With such a man being my biological father, I thought that it made no difference to me as for who he was.

Shelton had the same guess as I did. He reached out and took me in his arms. Gently patting me on the back with his warm palm, he said, "Okay, it's your call. In the future, I will take care of your mother with you. She has been living such a hard life for the first half of her life. And we should treat her well over the second half of her life."

Hearing Shelton's words, I was warm-hearted.

Once again, he perfectly grasped the point that I cared about. As I was held in his arms and heard him out, I was thinking in my heart, "Because of this point alone, I probably should be with him for a lifetime."

At this time, Shelton, who was holding me in his arms, continued, "From now on, you can visit her here at any time. Didn't you tell her that you would hire her a teacher? I will hire a psychologist to act as a teacher. After she becomes a little better, I will buy her a house in a residential quarter and let her live next to us. In this way, we can often see her."

"Thank you." I looked up at Shelton in a daze.

For a moment, I felt inexplicably complicated in my heart.

Before, I had been thinking that I loved Patrick and that I was waiting for him to go back to my side.

However, Shelton's words made me waver.

Sometimes, I hate myself like this so much.

Shelton bent down slightly and kissed my forehead, "You are my wife. I am willing to do anything for you."

After leaving the hospital, I called Ryan in Shelton's car.

When I told Ryan about this matter, he was silent for a few seconds overthe phone before saying, "I'll buy the ticket and go over now."

I wasn't surprised at all by his words.

It was what Ryan would do.

Ryan spoke loudly over the phone. Moreover, It was pretty quiet inside the car. Shelton seemed to hear his words and glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes, "Is Mr. Ryan coming over?"

I nodded.

Shelton immediately said, "Then I'll arrange a room for him on the top floor of the rehabilitation center."
