Chapter 172
I thought about it carefully. Originally, I was going to workst night. So I went to the hospital with
myptop.
Then I put it on a chair and forgot to bring it back with me.
In the middle of the night, I was in a daze. But no one told me about theptop when I went to the
hospital in the middle of the night.
Based on what had happened yesterday, could it be that they had forgotten about myptop?
I quickly said to Shelton who was driving, "Please take me to the Second Hospital."

"What''s wrong? Have you forgotten yourptop?" Shelton looked at me out of the corner of his
eyes.
I nodded.
When he was driving, I asked him, "My grandmother passed away. Should I do something?"
Yesterday, no one in Archer Family told me what I should do. But I felt that as Rosy''s
granddaughter, I should do something.
"Her children should be in charge of her
funeral. You''re her granddaughter. You can just attend the memorial service after they inform you
later."
"Will they inform me?"
Shelton''s words made me feel uneasy.
"Tracy and Jeremy hate me so much. Will they allow me to attend the memorial service?"
"I have to know the date of the memorial service."
When I arrived at the Second Hospital with Shelton, I asked someone at the service desk about my
laptop.
A nurse at the service desk took me to a doctor. When the doctor saw me, his face was full of
doubts as he said, "Didn''t I give it to you when the old woman passed awayst night?"
"No, you didn''t!"
I said quickly.
The doctor scratched his head and said with some confusion, "I did give theptop to you. You wore
a pink dress yesterday. And you tied your hair..." As the doctor said, he was also confused. "You
had long hair yesterday."
As soon as he said that, I understood.
He gave myptop to Caroline.
I couldn''t be more depressed, wondering why the doctor had given myptop to Caroline.
Helplessly, I thanked the doctor and called Caroline.
It wasn''t until I called her several times that the phone was connected.
As soon as Caroline answered the phone, she sneered and said, "Ouch, why did you call me?"
"Where is myptop?"
I didn''t have time to talk nonsense with her.
"It''s with me." Caroline said with a smile, "Do you want it?"
"My documents are in there. Give it to me quickly!" I was so annoyed.
In fact, most of the documents on myptop were saved on theputer at thepany as well. It
was just that without aptop, it would be inconvenient for me to work at home.
If I bought another one, aptop for design with high-standard configuration would cost me a lot.
Of course, it would be the best if I could get myptop back.
"Give it back to you? You are dreaming!" Over the phone, Caroline''s voice became fierce as she
said, "Charlotte Archer, be very clear about what you have done! Let me tell you, if I can''t get
Patrick, then I will be doomed together with you!"
Her words reminded me of the photos I had sent a few weeks ago.
I, who had been concentrated on Rosy''s matter, forgot about it.
I snorted and said, "Caroline Archer, you messed up your own private life. I happened to see it. It''s
none of my business!"
"None of your business? If it weren''t for you, would I be like this? Could it be that you think I don''t
know that you hadined to Patrick about my messy private life? Otherwise, how could he
have treated me like that?"
"How did he treat you?"
I asked curiously.
"Could it be that what Patrick once said is true?"
Over the phone, Caroline was silent. After a while, she said, "Let me tell you, I won''t give your
laptop back to you!"
"Oh."
I hung up the phone as soon as I finished my words quietly.
Now that Rosy had passed away. The ten million dors in my bank ount was no longer
reserved for anyone.
I could afford to buy aptop.
And with my deposit, I even wanted to buy the house which Rosy had left to me...
After I hung up Caroline''s phone, I went to ask the doctor who was in charge of her before. It turned
out that Rosy''s body had been sent to a funeral house.
I called the funeral house and found that sure enough, Jeremy had scheduled the date of the
memorial service.
The memorial service would be held the next early morning.
And the date of Rosy''s burial was also set.
No one informed me at all.
I called Dion and filed for leave on the dates of Rosy''s funeral as well as her memorial service.
Standing in the hospital, I made various calls for nearly an hour. Then I remembered that Shelton
was still waiting for me.
I looked around. And I didn''t see him in the hospital.
I went out and saw that Shelton was sitting on a bench next to a flower bed. Looking at the ones
coming and going around, he seemed to be very bored.
I hurried over and said apologetically, "Mr. Shelton, I''m sorry, I just made a few more calls."
"It''s okay." Shelton shook his head kindly and asked with concern, "Have you finished your calls?
I''m free today. It doesn''t matter to me how long I have to wait for you."
As he spoke, he looked calm and natural.
I looked at him in a daze, feeling a little embarrassed. For a moment, I didn''t know how to respond.
I was stunned for a moment before answering, "It''s alright. I''ve finished all the calls."
"Well, let''s go to have lunch."
"Okay."
For some reason, when I was with Shelton, I felt a sense of security as if I were with an elder.
"Is it because his name pronounces simr to Jeremy''s?"
Shelton took me to a vegetarian restaurant for lunch. At first, I disliked the restaurant a little.
However, after the dishes were served, I tasted the food and thought that they tasted the same as
meat, thinking that they tasted very delicious.
Unconsciously, I ate more food than usual.
After we finished eating, he sent me to mypany. On the way, he asked me, "When will the
memorial service be held? I''ll send you there."
"No need. I..."
"I''ll give you a ride. I saw that you didn''t have a good rtionship with your family that day. And
none of the taxi drivers will like to go to that kind of ce."
Shelton''s simple words convinced me, who didn''t want to bother him at all, with ease.
Seeing that I said nothing, he continued, "Tell me. Don''t worry about me. I''m running my business. I
don''t need to ask for leave."
I hesitated for a moment and told him the time of the memorial service tomorrow.
Early the next morning...
Shelton waited for me in front of my door and took me to the funeral house to attend the memorial
service.
When I reached the entrance, I saw Tracy sitting at a table at the door, recording the guests.
When she saw me, she was a little surprised. She quickly had a gloomy look on her face and asked
me, "Did anyone tell you to attend the memorial service today?"
I retorted, "She is my grandmother. Aren''t you going to let me attend her memorial service?"
Tracy looked at me impatiently and said, "Forget it. You can go in!"
I entered the venue and took a piece of paper flower ording to the rules. Then I walked over and
put it in a frame in front of the coffin.
Putting down the flower, I stood up and nced at Rosy, who was lying in the coffin.
Rosyy peacefully in the coffin with her eyes closed. Because of her makeup, her face was blood-
red. It seemed that she had fallen asleep.
At this moment, I finally sensed vividly that Rosy would never wake up again and that she would
forever leave me!
I only felt that water vapor covered my vision.
I knew that there was a saying that it wasn''t good to shed tears in the coffin. So I turned around and
walked out, holding back my tears.
I heard someone behind me say, "She is Charlotte Archer. I heard that Mrs. Rosy doted her very
much when she was alive.
Unexpectedly, she didn''t even cry for Mrs. Rosy now."
Another one answered, "After all, Mrs. Rosy is dead. She returned to the Archer Family for the sake
of money. In fact, she is an ungrateful person."
