Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick)

Chapter 490

At this moment, I started to feel that something was strange.

Holding my mobile phone in my hand, I was a little nervous. Avoiding groundless assumption, I asked the driver at last, "How far is it from here to the hospital?"

The driver looked at me in the rearview mirror and said, "We are arriving."

I didn't know if I was too suspicious, but when the driver looked at me, I felt a little scared.

Where were we going? If we went further, we would be entering the mountains!

How could a hospital be there?

Was this driver also hired by Finn?

For a moment, I was regretful that I was rash. How could I come to the address given by Finn on my own? And I even didn't confirm the exact location of the address.

What should I do?

I looked around. There were trees all around. If I got out of the car here, it would probably be only a road that led to a dead end.

I hesitated for a moment and began to chat with the driver. "I'm a tourist. One of my friends lives here. Why is this place so far from the city?"

Hearing what I said, the driver laughed. "No wonder. I was surprised when you got on as people don't go here usually. This is a small town. There's no scenery spot here."

"Oh..." Hearing the driver's words, I was a little relieved.

I looked at the driver in the rearview mirror. He might be over 60 years old, but it was hard to say as it's difficult to guess a foreigner's age.

I thought for a moment, and asked again, "Is there a hospital?"

"Yes!" The driver answered decisively. "The best orthopedic hospital in our country is over there..."

The driver started to give unceasing praises.

He told me the hospital was famous all over the country and even the world. The president of the country came here to be treated once he was injured.

After the driver started talking, I realized that he was a chatterbox, though he had not spoken before.

My heart also felt at ease.

It meant that Finn did not lie to me.

After all, it was crucial to his life. Bone marrow donation was not so widespread as blood donation, which people think there are no side effects. Therefore, very few people in society were willing to donate bone marrow.

Even Kelsi didn't want to donate, so I was his only hope.

Naturally, he had placed all his bets on me.

After driving for more than two hours, we finally arrived at the place where there were some signs of human habitation.

It was a small town, and there were distinctive two-story buildings on both sides of the road. At first glance, you could see that they were of considerable age.

In the small town, there were all aged people who were walking back and forth. From the looks of everyone's faces, the people who live here must be very happy.

Soon, the car stopped.

It was on a very narrow road.

"Here we are." The driver pressed the odometer and asked me, "By credit card or cash, which way would you like?"

"Credit card."

I took out my credit card and handed it to the driver.

Because I came in a hurry, I only exchanged a small amount of the local currency in one bank.

When the driver was swiping the card, I asked him again, "Where is the hospital?"

"There." The driver pointed to the right side of the road.

I looked across and saw the hospital. It was completely different from what I had imagined. There were no tall buildings, no large courtyards, but only small courtyards, with two three- story buildings inside.

"There?"

It's out of my imagination.

"Yes, it's over there." The driver said with great certainty.

Then, I asked where was the building with this address?

"Here." The driver pointed to a small building of two-story next to the car.

This building, in which Kelsi rented to stay, was opposite the hospital.

Then, during this period of time, would they...

I didn't dare to make wild guesses, because I was afraid that I had guessed it right.

Although I had some suspicion, however, I still believed that Patrick wouldn't be like this. After all,

I still trusted him from the bottom of my heart.

This town was so small, and I didn't know if there was any hotel.

Getting out of the car, before I could move to pull my luggage, I saw a woman wearing a beige dress and a straw hat, with a few flowers on it, coming out of the building in front of me.

There was a grass-made small bag in her hand.

She dressed up in such a pastoral style.

At the first glance, I could tell it was Kelsi.

What a coincidence! I met her as soon as I arrived.

When I looked at her, she also happened to look at me. She was stunned at the moment, and her face became longer. "Why are you coming here?"

Her tone was not friendly at all.

I smiled and said, "My boyfriend is here for treatment. Of course, I have to come."This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Boyfriend? Then why don't you ask Patrick to say personally? Is he admitting? to being your boyfriend?"

Kelsi smiled, holding the handle of the bag with both her hands.

She seemed to have nothing to fear as if someone was backing her.

My heart sank, and I had no time to quarrel with her. I just wanted to see if there was a small hotel for me to stay.

Just when I was about to leave, an old lady came over and waved at us. "Kelsi!"

She was greeting Kelsi.

I didn't expect that Kelsi had been familiar with the locals.

I deliberately walked very slowly. Then I heard the old lady say to Kelsi, "Are you still waiting for him today?"

"Yes, I believe he will come out to meet me one day." Kelsi said.

The old lady nodded and said, "Okay. My neighbor works there. I've asked him to send a word for you."

"Thank you very much."

Kelsi said.

Then I was walking far away with my luggage.

Hearing the conversation between them, I realized that Kelsi hadn't got into the hospital, she had just been waiting at the door.

Knowing this, I felt a little relieved at the moment.

This town was small and remote. I originally supposed that there might not be hotels, but later I saw a very inconspicuous two-story building in front of me. There was a small sign hanging on it saying HOTEL.

I went in at once. There was no front desk in the room, only an old man sitting on a reclining chair and watching an old TV.

When saw me coming in, he stood up slowly and said to me, "Welcome."

After I explained my intention, the old man introduced me to the rooms in the hotel. He lived downstairs, and there were only two rooms upstairs.

They were both empty, so I could pick either.

I went up to have a look and found that the layout of them was the same, so I chose one in the east randomly.

Few people came to this small secluded town, and the price was quite low. It's 25 a day of the local currency, and I paid for the total amount of 20 days for the first time."

I thought that I would stay here for a long time.

After all, since Patrick didn't see Kelsi, he probably would not see me, either.

The old man introduced that his name was Smith, and that he was already 72 years old.

I asked him if he knew anything about Kelsi.

Mr. Smith nodded. "That girl came here some time ago. She said that the person she loved is being treated in this hospital. Because there's an injury on her beloved's leg, he's not willing to see her."

After that, he added, "Our entire town knows about her story."

All the people in the town knew it?

It seemed that Kelsi had already got sympathy from public opinion in this small town. There was some disadvantage for me to get the same support.
