Chapter 146


    I sat down on his bed and smiled bitterly, "But it won''t be me."


    "Why?" Seth got up and sat down beside me. Then he grabbed my hand and said, "Patrick has


    nothing to do with you anymore. He is going to marry Caroline Archer, right? I know all of this. You


    are an independent person. You are free. And you don''t belong to anyone!"


    I didn''t pull back my hand. Instead, I let him hold my hand like this.


    Seth looked at me and seemed to be a little anxious, "If you are worried about my parents, you can


    rest assured that I will handle them well and won''t let the same thing happen again."


    "But it''s unfair to you."


    "It doesn''t matter. I don''t care. I..."


    "Seth." Before Seth could say something that made me feel more guilty, I interrupted him and said,


    "Seth, do you think that the rtionship between me and Patrick just started from the moment when


    I married him on behalf of Caroline?"


    "Isn''t that so?"


    Seth was stunned.


    I shook my head gently, calmed myself down, and said slowly, "No, I love Patrick. I have been in


    love with him for many years. The first time I met him, I was ten years old..."


    I sat next to Seth and told Seth everything about my first encounter with Patrick as well as my


    persistence over those years.


    Besides Lisa, only Seth knew about this.


    Seth sat there and listened to me quietly.


    He let go of my hand and lowered his head. Then I heard a self-deprecating sneer.


    He said, "I came to you toote."


    "...I''m sorry, he hurt me like that. I indeed wanted to get him out of my mind. But I tried many times,


    only to find that I couldn''t do it. I could only build a high wall in my heart so that he wouldn''t hurt me.


    But he was inside my heart and I couldn''t get him out."


    If I could, I hoped strongly that the person I loved was Seth Hyde.


    In that case, at least, I wouldn''t have to work so hard.


    Seth listened to me and nodded. "I know."


    "I''m sorry."


    Originally, I wanted to speak up for Angie. But after hesitating for a moment, I shut up.


    It was Seth''s own business. And I shouldn''t interfere with his matter too much.


    He sat down again, took a look at his cell phone, and got up. Then he said to me with a smile, "Let''s


    go. Or you''ll bete for work. I''ll send you there."


    At that time, the morning sun shone on his face as if it were ayer of holy light, making him so


    beautiful.


    Staring at him, I was a little absent-minded for a moment.


    "He is such a good man."


    "It would be great if he was the one I loved."


    I muttered to myself.


    Unfortunately, what had happened couldn''t be undone.


    Seth tidied up his clothes, took the bag for me, and opened the door for me.


    We went downstairs together. Because of the tight time, he didn''t check out. Instead, he sent me to


    work first.


    He sent me to thepany''s door and handed me the bag. Then he waved to me and said, "When


    Ie to City Y next time, I''lle to see you again."


    I nodded, closed the car door, and watched the car disappear into the traffic. Then I turned around


    and entered thepany.


    As soon as I arrived at the office in the morning, I received a phone call from Dion. He asked me to


    go to his office.


    I put down my bag and walked over there even before I could make a cup of coffee.


    As soon as I entered Dion''s office, he asked, "Charlotte Archer, which master of design did you turn


    to yesterday? He could even see such an intricate difference."


    "He is my friend."


    I smiled faintly.


    Yes, Seth was the person whom I trusted the most.


    Dion sat in an executive chair and said happily, "Because of the excellence of your work for the


    second round as well as the ridiculous incident of Mabel, it has been confirmed in advance that you


    have entered the final. Go back and be prepared for it well! Don''t disgrace me!"


    "Okay, Boss."


    In fact, I wasn''t surprised. After all, if none of us hadn''t entered the final, the management of the


    company surely wouldn''t have spent so much effort on the designpetition.


    Then I reported the work progress in recent days to Dion. He called a designer over and asked her


    to follow me so that she could take over my work at any time if I went to participate in the design


    competition.


    I had been turning over my work to her the whole morning.


    When I was free again, I found that my cell phone was still in the bag.


    I took out my cell phone from my bag and saw two phone calls from Seth and several voice


    messages from him.


    I didn''t think overthink it as I clicked opened the voice messages. At first, it was noisy over the


    phone. And then Seth''s voice came from inside.


    "Charlotte, I''m sorry. I probably can''te to City Y to see you again..."


    "Charlotte Archer, I love you."


    "Why didn''t you answer my call? I want to tell you this personally..."


    "Ahem, I... Ahem."


    "I love you, you have to be fine. You... Ahem. Ahem..."


    "I love you..."


    "I love you..."


    "I... Ahem. Ahem. Ahem..."


    Over thest few voice messages, he repeatedly said, "I love you".


    At that moment, I suddenly felt extremely sore in my heart. And I breathed with difficulties!


    An ominous premonition rose in my heart.


    I picked up my cell phone and called Seth back. But no one answered my call.


    "You have to be fine. You have to be fine!"


    I was in a panic.


    I called 911 and asked the staff if there was a car ident in the city or someone was sent to the


    hospital or something when Seth had called me in the morning.


    The staff checked it and told me that there was no car ident, saying that there were a few other


    incidents instead.


    I asked about the patient''s age.


    Then I thought that it should not be Seth.


    However, I was very sure that something surely had happened to Seth.


    Now it had been two hours since he called me.


    Everything could happen to him in these two hours!


    When I was at a loss, my cell phone rang.


    And it was a call from Seth''s phone number!


    I picked up the call and shouted excitedly, "Seth!"


    The one over the phone seemed to be stunned. After a moment of silence, he said, "Lady, do you


    know the owner of this cell phone?"


    "Yes! What''s wrong with him?"


    I had been mentally prepared for it since it wasn''t Seth who had answered my call.


    The one over the phone introduced himself, saying that he was a staff of the People''s Hospital lying


    in the middle between City Y and Seth''s hometown, Town W. He picked Seth up at a high-speed


    route. Now Seth was in a very dangerous situation. However, because Seth''s phone was locked. He


    couldn''t contact his family.


    It happened that I called Seth at that time. And they called me back directly before getting in touch


    with me...


    When I heard what the one over the phone had said, I thought that I had heard something wrong.


    After hanging up the phone, I took a taxi and went straight to the People''s Hospital in Town W.


    It took me an hour to get there.


    After I got there, I rushed straight to the emergency room!


    However, the lights in the emergency room had been turned off.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    I rushed to the service desk and asked the one there about Seth''s situation. A male doctor came


    over and saw me. And he asked, "You are Charlotte Archer, aren''t you?"


    "Yes." I nodded and went over to ask him anxiously, "Where is Seth Hyde? Where is he? How is


    he? Has he been out of danger?"


    The male doctor looked at me. He was wearing a mask. So I couldn''t see his expression clearly. I


    could only see that he frowned slightly and that there was some sadness in his eyes. Then he said


    to me, "Please have my condolence."
