Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 168

Tracy immediately said, "Based on the current market situation, let alone two years, we can't even make it after ten years."

"We surely can't afford to pay one million dollars monthly with ease within two years."

The two of them said one after another.

The standpoint of theirs was clear...

They wouldn't pay anything.

I felt a chill running down my spine.

"How about this?" Tracy looked at Jeremy and said, "Transfer Mom to a hospital at the Second Best Level where the price of ICU won't be so high. Then we can hire her a guardian with higher pay."

Haha, they indeed made a good plan.

I would pay for the hospitalization fee. And they would pay for the care fees.

The monthly pay of a caretaker was only two days' cost of the hospitalization expenses.

But I had no choice. I didn't want Rosy to be stripped off the breathing machine so early.

Jeremy agreed with Tracy's idea.

The two of them immediately made a phone

call and transferred Rosy to a Second-Best-Level Hospital.

With expenses of ICU and others counting together, it would cost us about 5 thousand dollars a day if Rosy was transferred there.

Compared with the expenses of the Holy Spirit Hospital, the expenses there were much more affordable.

The next day, they transferred Rosy to another hospital.

I went to check on the situation of the new hospital and found that the conditions here indeed couldn't be on par with those in Holy Spirit Hospital. The conditions here were even sort of rogue. But I had no choice.

Only Rosy was here would I have nothing to be worried about.

On Sunday, I contacted a moving company to help me move out.

Although the new home was small-sized, I found it exceptionally warm.

Because it was managed by a professional property management company. My room was very clean. And I didn't even need to clean it up often.

When I was in the resort last time, I saw Ryan's painting, which touched me deeply.

When I was free in the afternoon, I went to somewhere nearby the Arts Academy of City Y to buy some painting tools, intending to work hard on the painting that I had put aside for a long time.

As the saying goes, only by walking outside often will people be amazed and surprised.

I took the subway to the Arts Academy of City Y. As soon as I got out of the subway station;

I saw a car parked at the intersection. One of them got out of the car. And I recognized her at a glance...

It was Caroline.

"Why is she here?"

Soon, I saw another person getting out of the driver's seat.

I had seen him earlier. And I was very familiar with him.

It was Patrick's assistant, probably his former assistant, Wilson Jacob.

Fearing that they would see me, I immediately took a step back and hid next to the subway entrance.

I saw the two of them immediately hugging each other.

Wilson handed the key to the one on the side who would watch the car for them. And the two of them talked to each other and walked into a hotel in front of them as they were lovey-dovey.

I, who was quick- witted, took out my cell phone and took a photo of them.

It wasn't until I finished taking photos of them that I looked up.

It turned out to be a hotel for couples and lovers.

This kind of hotel was originated in a foreign country. It was specifically used for couples to have fun outside. The decoration style of each room inside the hotel was all different.

Couples could play all kinds of tricks there.

"What could the two of them do in such a place? The answer is self-evident."

But I didn't expect that they would be having an affair unexpectedly.

I couldn't help but recall all the things that had happened before.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Wilson and Caroline had been somewhat connected with each other previously, especially a long time ago.

When I went to Towering High, I heard Wilson making a phone call...

Now that as I recalled the past, I thought he probably was calling Caroline at that time.

I raised my head and took a photo of the hotel's name. Then I sent them together to Patrick's mailbox.

"The way I see it, no matter how magnanimous Patrick is and no matter how affectionate his love for Caroline is, he can't bear the fact that he has been cheated on by Wilson and Caroline."

I didn't continue to follow them. I bought the drawing tools and went home.

For no reason, I was in such a good mood that I wanted to eat hot pot.

I called Lisa. Unfortunately, she wasn't in City Y.

I found a restaurant selling hot-pot and ate there alone. Halfway through, I received a phone call from Jeremy.

I hesitated for a moment. Fearing that something would happen to Rosy, I picked up his call.

"Charlotte, have you finished your meal?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Jeremy's voice came over the phone.

His voice sounded a little depressed. And his mood was very low.

His tone didn't sound as arrogant as it used to be.

Feeling a little suspicious, I looked at the hotpot in front of me and said, "Well, I'm eating a meal now." "Oh, then let's set it tomorrow. I booked a box at Topsun Restaurant so that we can gather there tomorrow evening. We haven't been together for a long time."

Jeremy's voice sounded so kind now.

I thought of what I had done during the day. And I surely wouldn't accept his invitation. So I refused, "Sorry, Mr. Jeremy, I, a wild kid who grew up in an orphanage, can't afford to have a meal in that kind of place."

"Don't say that." Jeremy's voice was full of apologies as he said, "I also feel embarrassed as I saw you contributed so much to your grandmother's matter this time. Because as you said, she is your grandmother as well as my mother. I just want to express my gratitude to you."

To be honest, if others told me so, I surely would be convinced.

But I wouldn't believe Jeremy's words.

"I'm sorry. I'm busy. I'm afraid I am not that blessed to be treated by you." I said, looking down at the spicy hot-pot in front of me, "The meal is getting cold. I'll hang up first."

I hung the phone immediately.

I didn't give Jeremy any chance to speak at all.

Originally, I thought that this matter would end like this.

However, the next day, when I got off work and came out of the company, I saw Jeremy standing at the door.

He was much more haggard than what I had seen a few days ago.

When he saw me, he hurried up and said, "Charlotte, I've booked a box. And I can't cancel it."

"Did he come here to invite me in person?"

Since the first time I knew that Jeremy was my father, I had never been treated as I was now.

I looked at him with a smile on my face, "Mr. Jeremy, I won't have a meal with you. If you have anything to say to me, just tell me."

Jeremy seemed a little embarrassed.

In the end, he called me to a cafe.

After the coffee we had ordered was served, Jeremy said, "Charlotte, look, your grandmother was transferred to a Second-Best-Level Hospital. She only costs you more than 100,000 dollars a month. You surely have a lot of money left in your pocket after you sold the house, didn't you?" This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

At this point, I immediately understood why he had come to me over and over again humbly several times.

All in all, he was lusting for my money.

"Stop it." I pushed the coffee in front of me and took out a banknote of 100 dollars from my bag as I put it on the table. Then I said, "I reserve the money for Grandma's hospitalization fees. I won't lend it to anyone. Of course, I won't even touch it."

After that, I got up and left.

When I arrived at the door, Jeremy chased after me and said sadly, "Charlotte, I'm not asking you for help. I'm borrowing money from you. My company is in need of capital recently."

I refused firmly, "I'm sorry, it's impossible."

"Grandma now costs me more than one hundred thousand dollars a month. To be honest, it's impossible for me to make so much money by myself."

Therefore, I couldn't touch the money!

"Charlotte."

"Mr. Jeremy, you'd better call me Charlotte Archer. You have cut off your relationship with me. Have you forgotten about it?"

As soon as as I finished speaking...

Jeremy raised his hand!

"Clap!"

Before I could react, he slapped me in the face and scolded, "Charlotte Archer, don't be so shameless! That house was bought by my mother. Give the money to me today!"
