Chapter 242
There was no sim card on my cell phone. Consequently, without connecting to Wi-Fi, I couldn''t
browse any news online.
The reason why I did so was that I was afraid that Patrick would find me.
After I input the keywords, a lot of pieces of breaking news along with their rtivements
popped up on the Facebook newsfeed.
I roughly read the news. Shelton called the police that day. After the police arrived and confirmed
the location of the ident, divers were asked to go beneath the sea to find the ck box on the
sunken yacht.
After three days of searching, the divers didn''t find the ck box.
On the whole yacht, they only found a female corpse and a suitcase.
The photo of the suitcase was attached in the news.
Taking a look at it, I was sure that it was my suitcase.
ording to the news, based on the items inside the suitcase and the people who had
left the ind, the police preliminarily identified the identity of the deceased.
As for who the deceased female was...
The answer was self-evident.
When I returned to the hotel, I found the door to my room slightly open.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Sheltoning out of the suite in a panic. When he saw
me, he, who was stunned, walked up to me with a look of relief as he asked usingly, "Where
have you been? Why didn''t you tell me?"
"I..." I hesitated for a moment and said, "I have been dreaming of Caroline recently. So I went to a
temple..."
"To pray for her soul?"
Before I could finish my words, Shelton interrupted me.
"It''s not like that. I just went there to pay my respects, hoping that she could reincarnate as soon as
possible," I said.
Hearing what I said, Shelton rubbed my hair with his hands and smiled helplessly, "You''re so good
that you are repaying good for evil. How can others repay your kindness?"
"Since she is dead, let bygones be bygones."
In fact, Caroline was dead, and I was deceased as well in Patrick''s heart. Now I felt inexplicably
relieved in my heart.
I wouldn''t have to fear that someone woulde to hurt my child.
Shelton took out a small-sized sim card from his pocket and gave it to me, "Here is a new sim card.
Use it in case I can''t find you."
"Okay."
"And, I still have something to do in City Y. But you didn''t have a sim card on your cell phone.
Fearing that I couldn''t contact you. I was so worried about you that I came back. I have to go back
tomorrow." As Shelton spoke, he pulled over a suitcase to him and said, "I know that if I give you a
bank card, you surely won''t bear to spend my money. So I asked one of my nurses to buy some
clothes for you to wear here."
As he spoke, he bent down and unlocked the suitcase.
The suitcase was filled with all sorts of clothes and pants.
Shelton was different from Patrick.
The clothes he bought were all casual clothes. With a nce at them, I knew that I would feel
comfortable once I wore them.
I stood there, inserted the sim card into my cell phone, and said, "Mr. Shelton, don''t worry about me.
I have got a ce to go to in the future."
"What?" Hearing what I said, Shelton became nervous. He stood up and walked to me, "Are you
afraid of causing me trouble? No. I don''t think there''s any trouble. And, I am the one who proposed
your fake death. I''d returned and found out that the police, the Cowell Family, and Archer Family all
seemed to think you were the corpse on the yacht."
"It''s not like that. I think you are right. I want to be a better me."
I told Shelton everything, including my meeting Ryan and the fact that I would learn from him.
After hearing me out, Shelton looked even more serious. "No, take me to him. Or I''ll be worried."
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
"Well..."
"Otherwise, I won''t agree. Nowadays, a lot of people are pretending to be masters."
It struck me that he was worried about my safety.
If it were someone else, I might have minded that he had intervened in my matters too much.
However, hearing Shelton say so, I agreed.
That night, I asked Ryan out to have dinner together.
Shelton and Ryan sat across each other. Although the gap between their ages was 20 years,
unexpectedly, they shared a lot ofmon topics.
Ryan had a weird character. However, when he chatted with Shelton, he seemed to be talking to an
acquaintance of his.
After meeting Ryan this time, Shelton was relieved.
The New Year was around the corner. Ryan nned to go abroad for a trip.
Originally, he wanted to ask me to go abroad with him. But I refused.
After the New Year holiday, I probably wouldn''t go back to City Y in a short time. Before that, I
hoped to pay my respect to Rosy and talk to her onest time.
Admittedly, Shelton was quite meticulous.
To hide the fact that I faked my death, he rented a car in City S and drove me back to City Y.
It was an extremely long journey. At the very least, he had to drive for two days.
At the beginning of the journey, we only listened to music. And we just kept repeating the same
songs.
Feeling bored, I turned off the music and asked, "Mr. Shelton, can I ask you something?"
"Okay." It seemed that Shelton wasn''t surprised after he heard my words. He said, "Whatever you
want to ask, I will tell you the truth."
I asked him about the matter of his sponsoring me first.
Shelton looked ahead as if he were thinking about things that had happened a long time ago.
After a moment of silence, he said, "When I was a child, my family was poor. And studying medicine
cost my family a lot of money. At that time, to earn tuition fees and schrships, I had exerted too
much effort. When my conditions were a little betterter, I hoped to help others with my strength."
"Then you came to my orphanage, right?"
"Well, it was quite close to a hospital where I used to work." Shelton paused and continued to say, "I
turned to your dean. He gave me the information about the children who would go to college soon. I
took a fancy to you at a nce."
When I heard his words, I burst outughing, "In fact, in my mind, I always thought you were an old
man. But I didn''t expect you to be a few years older than me."
"Thank you. It''s a good thing that I wasn''t a cocky man in your heart."
As Shelton focused on driving, he nced at me out of the corner of his eyes and slightly curled up
the corner of his mouth.
"I also want to ask you about the matter of Archer''s Group..."
As soon as I mentioned this matter, Shelton looked a little sad, "Sorry, I thought you and your
grandmother were on good terms and you wouldn''t want to see Archer''s Group fall into the hands of
irrelevant people."
"Thank you. I will pay the money back to you."
What Shelton had said was right.
If Archer''s Group had fallen into someone else''s hands, I would take it back if I was financially
capable one day.
"Okay."
Shelton didn''t refuse.
And he didn''t set up a time limit for me either.
It took us nearly three days to drive to City Y from City S.
On the afternoon of the third day, we were caught in a traffic jam when we were less than 100
kilometers away from City Y!
We waited there for a while. But no car moved ahead of us.
After being stuck on the expressway for a day, Shelton and I decided to get out of the car and walk
around.
After asking the ones ahead of us, we knew that there was a serial car ident. Only one
ambnce had been sent here. However, it couldn''t amodate all the injured. A lot of medical
staff were rescuing the injured ahead.
Hearing so, Shelton immediately took off his watch and handed it along with his cell phone to me.
Then he said, "Wait here. I''ll go and see what''s going on ahead."
"I''m with you!"
As I spoke, I trotted to catch up with him.
