Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 490

At this moment, I started to feel that something was strange.

Holding my mobile phone in my hand, I was a little nervous. Avoiding groundless assumption, I asked the driver at last, "How far is it from here to the hospital?"

The driver looked at me in the rearview mirror and said, "We are arriving."

I didn't know if I was too suspicious, but when the driver looked at me, I felt a little scared.

Where were we going? If we went further, we would be entering the mountains!

How could a hospital be there?

Was this driver also hired by Finn?

For a moment, I was regretful that I was rash. How could I come to the address given by Finn on my own? And I even didn't confirm the exact location of the address.

What should I do?

I looked around. There were trees all around. If I got out of the car here, it would probably be only a road that led to a dead end.

I hesitated for a moment and began to chat with the driver. "I'm a tourist. One of my friends lives here. Why is this place so far from the city?"

Hearing what I said, the driver laughed. "No wonder. I was surprised when you got on as people don't go here usually. This is a small town. There's no scenery spot here."

"Oh..." Hearing the driver's words, I was a little relieved.

I looked at the driver in the rearview mirror. He might be over 60 years old, but it was hard to say as it's difficult to guess a foreigner's age.

I thought for a moment, and asked again, "Is there a hospital?"

"Yes!" The driver answered decisively. "The best orthopedic hospital in our country is over there..."

The driver started to give unceasing praises.

He told me the hospital was famous all over the country and even the world. The president of the country came here to be treated once he was injured.

After the driver started talking, I realized that he was a chatterbox, though he had not spoken before.

My heart also felt at ease.

It meant that Finn did not lie to me.

After all, it was crucial to his life. Bone marrow donation was not so widespread as blood donation, which people think there are no side effects. Therefore, very few people in society were willing to donate bone marrow.

Even Kelsi didn't want to donate, so I was his only hope.

Naturally, he had placed all his bets on me.

After driving for more than two hours, we finally arrived at the place where there were some signs of human habitation.

It was a small town, and there were distinctive two-story buildings on both sides of the road. At first glance, you could see that they were of considerable age.

In the small town, there were all aged people who were walking back and forth. From the looks of everyone's faces, the people who live here must be very happy.

Soon, the car stopped.

It was on a very narrow road.

"Here we are." The driver pressed the odometer and asked me, "By credit card or cash, which way would you like?"

"Credit card."

I took out my credit card and handed it to the driver.

Because I came in a hurry, I only exchanged a small amount of the local currency in one bank.

When the driver was swiping the card, I asked him again, "Where is the hospital?"

"There." The driver pointed to the right side of the road.

I looked across and saw the hospital. It was completely different from what I had imagined. There were no tall buildings, no large courtyards, but only small courtyards, with two three- story buildings inside.

"There?"

It's out of my imagination.

"Yes, it's over there." The driver said with great certainty.

Then, I asked where was the building with this address?

"Here." The driver pointed to a small building of two-story next to the car.

This building, in which Kelsi rented to stay, was opposite the hospital.
