Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 172

I thought about it carefully. Originally, I was going to work last night. So I went to the hospital with my laptop.

Then I put it on a chair and forgot to bring it back with me.

In the middle of the night, I was in a daze. But no one told me about the laptop when I went to the hospital in the middle of the night.

Based on what had happened yesterday, could it be that they had forgotten about my laptop?

I quickly said to Shelton who was driving, "Please take me to the Second Hospital."

"What's wrong? Have you forgotten your laptop?" Shelton looked at me out of the corner of his eyes.

I nodded.

When he was driving, I asked him, "My grandmother passed away. Should I do something?"

Yesterday, no one in Archer Family told me what I should do. But I felt that as Rosy's granddaughter, I should do something.

"Her children should be in charge of her

funeral. You're her granddaughter. You can just attend the memorial service after they inform you later."

"Will they inform me?"

Shelton's words made me feel uneasy.

"Tracy and Jeremy hate me so much. Will they allow me to attend the memorial service?"

"I have to know the date of the memorial service."

When I arrived at the Second Hospital with Shelton, I asked someone at the service desk about my laptop.

A nurse at the service desk took me to a doctor. When the doctor saw me, his face was full of doubts as he said, "Didn't I give it to you when the old woman passed away last night?"

"No, you didn't!"

I said quickly.

The doctor scratched his head and said with some confusion, "I did give the laptop to you. You wore a pink dress yesterday. And you tied your hair..." As the doctor said, he was also confused. "You had long hair yesterday."

As soon as he said that, I understood.

He gave my laptop to Caroline.

I couldn't be more depressed, wondering why the doctor had given my laptop to Caroline.

Helplessly, I thanked the doctor and called Caroline.

It wasn't until I called her several times that the phone was connected.

As soon as Caroline answered the phone, she sneered and said, "Ouch, why did you call me?"

"Where is my laptop?"

I didn't have time to talk nonsense with her.

"It's with me." Caroline said with a smile, "Do you want it?"

"My documents are in there. Give it to me quickly!" I was so annoyed.

In fact, most of the documents on my laptop were saved on the computer at the company as well. It was just that without a laptop, it would be inconvenient for me to work at home.

If I bought another one, a laptop for design with high-standard configuration would cost me a lot.

Of course, it would be the best if I could get my laptop back. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Give it back to you? You are dreaming!" Over the phone, Caroline's voice became fierce as she said, "Charlotte Archer, be very clear about what you have done! Let me tell you, if I can't get Patrick, then I will be doomed together with you!"

Her words reminded me of the photos I had sent a few weeks ago.

I, who had been concentrated on Rosy's matter, forgot about it.

I snorted and said, "Caroline Archer, you messed up your own private life. I happened to see it. It's none of my business!"

"None of your business? If it weren't for you, would I be like this? Could it be that you think I don't know that you had complained to Patrick about my messy private life? Otherwise, how could he have treated me like that?"

"How did he treat you?"

I asked curiously.

"Could it be that what Patrick once said is true?"

Over the phone, Caroline was silent. After a while, she said, "Let me tell you, I won't give your laptop back to you!"

"Oh."

I hung up the phone as soon as I finished my words quietly.

Now that Rosy had passed away. The ten million dollars in my bank account was no longer reserved for anyone.

I could afford to buy a laptop.

And with my deposit, I even wanted to buy the house which Rosy had left to me...

After I hung up Caroline's phone, I went to ask the doctor who was in charge of her before. It turned out that Rosy's body had been sent to a funeral house.

I called the funeral house and found that sure enough, Jeremy had scheduled the date of the memorial service.

The memorial service would be held the next early morning.

And the date of Rosy's burial was also set.

No one informed me at all.

I called Dion and filed for leave on the dates of Rosy's funeral as well as her memorial service.

Standing in the hospital, I made various calls for nearly an hour. Then I remembered that Shelton was still waiting for me.

I looked around. And I didn't see him in the hospital.

I went out and saw that Shelton was sitting on a bench next to a flower bed. Looking at the ones coming and going around, he seemed to be very bored.

I hurried over and said apologetically, "Mr. Shelton, I'm sorry, I just made a few more calls."

"It's okay." Shelton shook his head kindly and asked with concern, "Have you finished your calls? I'm free today. It doesn't matter to me how long I have to wait for you."

As he spoke, he looked calm and natural.

I looked at him in a daze, feeling a little embarrassed. For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.

I was stunned for a moment before answering, "It's alright. I've finished all the calls."

"Well, let's go to have lunch."

"Okay."

For some reason, when I was with Shelton, I felt a sense of security as if I were with an elder.

"Is it because his name pronounces similar to Jeremy's?"

Shelton took me to a vegetarian restaurant for lunch. At first, I disliked the restaurant a little. However, after the dishes were served, I tasted the food and thought that they tasted the same as meat, thinking that they tasted very delicious.

Unconsciously, I ate more food than usual.

After we finished eating, he sent me to my company. On the way, he asked me, "When will the memorial service be held? I'll send you there."

"No need. I..."

"I'll give you a ride. I saw that you didn't have a good relationship with your family that day. And none of the taxi drivers will like to go to that kind of place."

Shelton's simple words convinced me, who didn't want to bother him at all, with ease.

Seeing that I said nothing, he continued, "Tell me. Don't worry about me. I'm running my business. I don't need to ask for leave."

I hesitated for a moment and told him the time of the memorial service tomorrow.

Early the next morning...

Shelton waited for me in front of my door and took me to the funeral house to attend the memorial service.

When I reached the entrance, I saw Tracy sitting at a table at the door, recording the guests.

When she saw me, she was a little surprised. She quickly had a gloomy look on her face and asked me, "Did anyone tell you to attend the memorial service today?"

I retorted, "She is my grandmother. Aren't you going to let me attend her memorial service?"

Tracy looked at me impatiently and said, "Forget it. You can go in!"

I entered the venue and took a piece of paper flower according to the rules. Then I walked over and put it in a frame in front of the coffin.

Putting down the flower, I stood up and glanced at Rosy, who was lying in the coffin.

Rosy lay peacefully in the coffin with her eyes closed. Because of her makeup, her face was blood- red. It seemed that she had fallen asleep.

At this moment, I finally sensed vividly that Rosy would never wake up again and that she would forever leave me!

I only felt that water vapor covered my vision.

I knew that there was a saying that it wasn't good to shed tears in the coffin. So I turned around and walked out, holding back my tears.

I heard someone behind me say, "She is Charlotte Archer. I heard that Mrs. Rosy doted her very much when she was alive.

Unexpectedly, she didn't even cry for Mrs. Rosy now."

Another one answered, "After all, Mrs. Rosy is dead. She returned to the Archer Family for the sake of money. In fact, she is an ungrateful person."
