Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 453

I looked at Patrick somewhat surprisedly. To tell the truth, I had decided to tell Nancy that I couldn't go back to the company these days.

I didn't expect that he would go back to City Y with me.

Holding my right hand, he said, "You are my woman. You don't need to give up anything for me."

I looked at him in a daze.

It was so good that he could think like this.

I calculated the time and asked, "Can... can Glenn see you?"

If his answer was no, maybe I needed to keep Glenn company over weekends. Then I couldn't stay by Patrick's side.

Recently, I let Janice and others take care of Glenn instead. To tell the truth, I felt very guilty about it.

Patrick didn't respond immediately. He seemed to think about it for a moment before nodding, "Okay."

Hearing his brief answer, I knew that he had made a great determination.

Every man naturally hoped to be the hero of his

kids.

"Don't force yourself."

I knew what he's been through.

"I don't." He gently shook his head.

I packed up my things and went out of the manor, only to see a large car parked in front of the door.

The side door of the car was open. And a small slope descended.

It was customized for people with special needs.

I helped Patrick into the car.

The car drove all the way to City Y.

In fact, after repeated deliberation, I thought that Unit No.1 was indeed the most suitable place for Patrick. His house here was with a large flat floor without any stairs. So he could move around with more ease.

That afternoon, we called Janice and Lacy over as well.

The next day, I went to work.

At weekends, I went to the kindergarten to pick up Glenn.

When I drove to Unit No.1, Glenn asked me, "Mom, where are we going? Aren't we going home?"

Looking at him sitting in a baby chair at the back seat through the rearview mirror, I smiled and said, "We are going home."

"Going home? But..." Before he could finish his words, he looked at me with his eyes shining, "Are we going to see Dad? Dad is back, isn't he?"

I didn't expect him to guess the answer so quickly. I nodded my head to show my tacit consent.

Thinking of Patrick's legs, I reminded Glenn, "However, Dad has become a little different recently. Glenn, you have to learn to accept that." "What's wrong with Dad?"

"Dad's legs are injured. So he probably can't stand up for the time being. So don't say anything that breaks Dad's heart later, okay?"

"No problem!"

Glenn nodded seriously and genuinely.

The car soon arrived at the underground garage. I took Glenn upstairs.

By the time we got out of the elevator, Janice had been waiting at the door.

As soon as she opened the door, Glenn ran in with excitement. Seeing Patrick sitting in a wheelchair, Glenn seemed to be stunned for a moment. Walking to the front of Patrick in small steps and gently touching his legs, he said cautiously, "Daddy, are you in pain if I touch you like this?" Standing in the back, I suddenly became nervous.

I told Glenn just now that Patrick's legs had been injured, he surely had misunderstood me.

Patrick, however, did not seem to care about it at all. He shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt."
