Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 283

When Gina talked about the things in the past, her whole mental state seemed to have changed.

She was pushed away by a police officer. When she heard me calling her, she turned to look at me and said, "I will never tell you! Ha-ha-ha!"

With a wild laugh, Gina was taken away.

I sat there and my heart was in a mess.

How could it be?

"I can't believe it... I'm not her daughter."

But in this way, a lot of things could make sense.

Previously, I suspected that if one of the twins was kept, how could the other be lost by mistake?

It turned out that Gina had only given birth to one child.

When I was sitting inside, Shelton came in. He patted me on the shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I..." I looked up at him with a complicated expression. "Gina said that I am not her biological daughter. My mother is someone else."

After hearing my words, Shelton was a little surprised. "How could it be?"

"I don't think it's possible, but that's the truth. And think about it, Caroline and I are twins. How stupid could a hospital be as to take one of the two children to the orphanage?"

"How did she tell you?"

Shelton asked.

I looked at the door that Gina had pushed open to leave. Hesitating for a moment, I said, "Let's talk outside."

My mind was in chaos and I couldn't think at all.

As Shelton left with me and stood outside the detention center, I told him what Gina said just now.

When I finished, I looked at him and said in a pleading tone, "Could you help me find my biological mother?"

"Sure." Shelton agreed without any hesitation.

At the same time, he reached out to my shoulder and pulled me into his arms. "Don't worry. I'll help you find out everything."

"Thank you."

I got in the car with Shelton.

Sitting in the car and looking at the fine weather outside, I remembered what Gina had said. "I was taken away by someone from my mother's family, so my mother didn't abandon me."

"So, does she miss me too?"

"Does she also want to see me?"

Thinking of this, I looked at Shelton. "Can we find out where I was bom and things about my mother?"

After all, I was about to leave City Y.

"Okay. Let's do this." Shelton didn't mean to refuse my request in the slightest. He patted my hand and said gently, "Don't worry. I will definitely help you."

"Than..."

When I was about to say this word, Shelton pressed his right index finger against my lips.

He shook his head. "We'll soon become husband and wife. You don't have to say that to me."

Husband and wife.

Hearing these words, I felt uneasy and nodded slightly.

Shelton made a phone call and soon found out the information about the hospital where I was born. It was in a very remote civil hospital in the suburbs of City Y.

However, when I had a little hope, Shelton told me that this hospital had closed down since long ago.

When the place was under development a few years ago, even the building had been demolished, and it was changed into a shopping mall.

"How could it be? What about the files?" I was unwilling to give up.

Shelton parked his car at the roadside and looked at me. Looking a little sorry, he said, "Civil hospitals don't store files like public hospitals. And, there was no computer at that time. Even if the paper files were kept, no one would store them.” Shelton seemed to notice my frustration, and he quickly said, 'TH ask them to search and see if they can find the nurses who worked there at that time and ask if anyone remembers this matter."

I knew this was the most that Shelton could do.

I nodded and was about to say "thank you", but I swallowed the two words when I remembered his words and just said, "I'm grateful."

Hearing this, Shelton smiled helplessly. "It seems that it's very difficult for you not to say thank you."

I nodded in embarrassment.

There was no essential difference between "thank you" and "I appreciate it".

Shelton raised his hand, put his hand on top of my head, and gently rubbed it. "Forget it. I only want you to understand that I will do anything for you, because I am your husband, and we will spend the rest of our lives together."

I nodded.

Maybe what happened to my mother made me a little upset. When he said that, I didn't have many feelings about it.

I decided to go back to City Y tomorrow.

Shelton had lunch with me, then I went home to pack up.

However, there was plenty of time and I didn't have many things to pack up. I copied some files and called Lisa.

It was a try of luck.

Maybe I had good luck because Lisa just got off a plane in City Y that morning. She was going to leave again the next day.

When she answered my call, the first sentence she said was, "Hey, missing girl, you still remember me? I'm so touched."

I invited her to dinner.

Maybe because the guilt I had due to the incident last night, I called Shelton before I left to tell him that I was going to have dinner with Lisa.

Naturally, he did not oppose. He just said, "If you want to come back, let me know in advance. I'll pick you up."

Thinking that Lisa was still single, I quickly said, "No, my friend is single now and she can't bear PDA. I can come back by myself."

"No." Shelton immediately refused. "I just want to enjoy the privilege of picking up my fiancee."

I couldn't persuade Shelton, so I agreed.

In the evening, Lisa and I met. We walked around outside but didn't find anything delicious. So she pestered me and asked me to cook for her at her place. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

For so many years, she was my only good friend. Of course, I agreed.

She had moved to a new house, and I had never been there before.

Lisa and I bought some vegetables and went home. We made three dishes and one soup.

When we were eating, Lisa said, "You can stay here tonight. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we need to have a good chat."

"No, Shelton will pick me up later."

I refused her.

Over the past few years, Shelton had been very kind to me. When I called Lisa, I would occasionally mention him.

Hearing what I said, Lisa couldn't help curling her lips. "Misters before sisters."

I just smiled and didn't say anything.

In fact, the reason why I asked Shelton to pick me up today was that what had happened between Patrick and me yesterday made me feel guilty.

I took another bite of rice and said to Lisa, "Actually, I'm getting engaged to Shelton. We've already decided on the date."

"What?!" Lisa was stunned. She swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at me in disbelief. "Oh, this Shelton is really something. Back then, you and Patrick spent so much time getting entangled with each other and you weren't even engaged or something. Now when he's here, you're going right through the official procedures."

Official procedures.

Lisa's words amused me.

Lisa watched me smiling, but she did not smile. Instead, she said with worry, "Charlotte, are you sure you want to marry him?"
