Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 514

She looked terrible, even her makeup was crying off. Only one night had passed, but she seemed to have aged a few years.

She looked at us and asked, "How is father doing?"

"The operation was successful."

Patrick answered, but his expression looked bad.

Dulcie heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Good."

Then she turned around and was about to leave.

Patrick said, "Aunt Dulcie, you don't have to blame yourself. It's just that Roger used you."

"I blame myself for being stupid." Dulcie stood there, with her back to us and her head lowered. "I know it quite well in my heart. How could such a handsome, good and young man like him fall in love with me? But I still hold a trace of luck in my heart, thinking about what if it's true?"

She didn't go on but left with her head down.

I was a little worried. "Will your aunt be fine?"

"Don't worry. She is a strong woman." After Patrick said that, he patted me on the shoulder. "You should go to rest. You have been staying up all night."

"It's okay. I'm not tired. I'll go to see Grandpa Cowell first."

I insisted.

Patrick didn't force me.

Later, Ned did get out of danger, but his whole body condition was also much worse. He couldn't even get out of bed.

We went to visit him after he got better.

Patrick told the thing about Roger to Ned. Ned sighed. "Alas, Mr. Newman is a paranoid person. I didn't expect his grandson would be even more so."

"It's all over now."

Patrick said.

Ned was looking at Patrick when a sound came from behind us. He looked up and shouted, "Shelton."

I turned my head as well.

Shelton was standing at the door.

He pushed the wheelchair for Shirley.

Shirley was sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket on her body. With a hat on her head. I could see almost no hair under her hat. She looked very thin. The hand on her leg was stuck to the adhesive tape for infusion.

Shirley said to Ned respectfully, "Mr. Ned, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Seeing Shirley, Ned seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, "Shirley, it's really been a long time. I'm very happy to see you."

"Me too."

Shirley answered.

Shelton pushed Shirley in and said to Ned, "Father, I'm getting married to Shirley."

"Great, great." Hearing this news, Ned couldn't agree more.

He showed a pleased smile.

Ned stretched out his hand, and Shelton immediately pushed Shirley in front of him. Ned grabbed Shirley's hand and said, "I've been waiting for this day for decades. Fortunately, it has finally come."

We stayed with Shelton in the ward for a while. Because Ned needed treatment, we came out together.

After coming out, Shirley said, "Miss Nolan, are you are going to get married?"

I touched my belly and said, "We're not in a hurry. We may wait until the baby is born."

Shirley nodded, "I've made two wedding dresses for you, and one of them is in my studio. When you are going to get married, remember to ask Manager Warren to bring it to you."

I remembered that I had left the wedding dress Shirley gave to me at Patrick's house.

Hearing her words, I was a little embarrassed. "Sorry to trouble you."

"It's no big deal." Shirley smiled. "People who can stand up look better in a wedding dress. And we'll be a family in the future. You don't have to be polite with me."

"Thank you." Then I looked up and asked Shelton, "Miss Shirley's condition..."

"She's getting better," Shelton replied.

My heart was relieved to hear this news.
