Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 454

After hearing what I said, Glenn seemed to be at peace.

Several minutes later, he fell asleep.

I then put the book on the bedside and went out of the room.

Upon coming out, I saw Patrick standing at the door.

Seeing Patrick, I was slightly startled, "Why are you here?"

He monitored the wheelchair and went a little further forward. Staring at Glenn, he said, "Now I realize that I'm indeed not a good father."

Hearing him say so, I knew that he surely had heard what Glenn had said just now.

I comforted him. "He enjoys playing with you and wants his father's company."

Seeing how Glenn treated Jason back then, I had found out it.

Jason stayed in my house for a few months only. Even so, Glenn had a deep attachment to him.

Later, I forcibly drove Jason away from my home. Glenn didn't show anything at first. Even so, every time he was playing games, he would sit there in a

daze.

He wouldn't say anything even though I asked him.

But once, when I came out of the kitchen, I heard Glenn, who was playing with a puzzle, muttered, "It will be better if Jason is here..."

At that moment, I realized that I shouldn't have driven Jason away.

Patrick took my hand and smiled bitterly, "My son actually thinks that I will leave him. I am such a failure."

"Kids are sensitive."

"He is not sensitive. He has no sense of security."

Patrick corrected me, "In the future, we will never separate again."

After that, our lives returned to normal.

I, Patrick, and Glenn lived a life of an ordinary family of three. To make up for his mistake, Patrick bought many Lego toys for Glenn.

When Glenn went back home at weekends, the two would have fun together.

Patrick specially bought a large table specifically for Lego on which they could assemble Lego puzzles.

Then, he bought a chair for Glenn.

In this way, they could play together.

Patrick hadn't played Lego before, but he was smart enough to pick it up quickly.

Just half day, he could help Glenn solve all the problems he had encountered.

Seeing they had such a good time, I took out my cell phone to take photos.

Before I could take a few more, a call came in.

It was a call from Ryan.

I quickly picked it up.

"Janetta, where are you now?"

I looked up at Glenn and Patrick in front of me, answering, "In City Y."

"Oh, can you come to City S?"

Ryan got straight to the point.

He wouldn't have called me randomly.

Jessica was in City S.

"I can go there at any time. Is there something wrong with my mother?"

"Jessica is recovering very well. Recently, she has been mentally stable. I've told her something about you. She said she wanted to see you."

"Really?" This was great news for me! I said hurriedly, "Then I'll book a flight ticket now!"

Could Jessica recognize me?

I hadn't ever enjoyed maternal love ever since my childhood. And I had been yearning for it. So, what Ryan had said was indeed the best news.

I hung up the phone, informing Patrick and Glenn about this.

Originally, I wanted to ask Patrick if he wanted to go with me. But I knew even if he agreed, he would force himself. So I gave up.

I said to Glenn, "I will visit Grandpa Ryan tomorrow. You take care of Dad, ok?"

"Ok!" Glenn nodded, "Mom, don't worry. I will take good care of myself as well as Dad!"

Hearing Glenn's words, Patrick frowned.

As a father, he hoped to take care of his son.

"Daddy has to work sometimes. So don't make trouble."

"I won't!"

Glenn pouted his small mouth and said unwillingly.

I believed him.

The next morning, I took a flight to City S.

After getting off the plane, I took a taxi straight to the hospital where Jessica was.

I hadn't seen Jessica for several months.

When I entered a ward...

I saw Jessica sitting on the bed with Ryan next to her.

Upon seeing me, Jessica curled up the corner of her mouth, revealing a bright smile, "Is this... Charlotte?"

I was stunned.

Jessica was no longer as thin as she used to be. She had gained a lot of weight and looked normal.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was probably because she had been locked up in a room over the last few years, her skin was quite fair.

Now, she wasn't as pale as before. On the contrary, she was fair and reddish. Despite in her fifties, she looked vibrant without many wrinkles on her face.

Now she somewhat looked like the one in Ryan's painting.

I looked at Jessica and nodded, "Yes, it's me."

As I spoke, I walked over to the front of the bed. Feeling complicated, I didn't know what to say for a while.

When I got closer, Jessica stretched out her hand and grabbed my hand. Her eyes turned red in an instanf'Ryan told me about you. You've suffered for so many years. It's my fault that I didn't take care of you."

As I heard her words, so many years of loneliness and helplessness flooded my mind.

"Mom."

How many years had it been?

Finally, I could hold my mother in my arms and called her.

Jessica was very thin. But her body was soft.

Although it was winter now, I felt warm.

"Is this warmth brought by my mother?"

I only felt that my eyes were full of tears.

Reaching out her hand, Jessica patted my back, "Charlotte, I miss you so much."

"Since she knew about your existence, she has been looking for you. If it weren't for her, we might not have been able to find you now."

Ryan said from behind.

"Thank you." Jessica sat up straight.

"I just did what I should do"

I looked at Jessica carefully. Her behavior now was no different from a normal person's.

I couldn't help but ask, "When she can be discharged from the hospital?"
