Substitute Her to Love You novel Chapter 292

"Oh." Shelton chuckled, "Don't worry, it won't happen. I will marry you. And we even settle the date. How could I die before we get married?"

Although he said so, he didn't tell me whether he was infected or not.

"So, you are infected, aren't you?"

I asked him again.

"I'm not sure for the time being. After all, the virus will be incubated for some time." Remaining silent for a moment, Shelton continued to say, "However, based on the current situation, the likelihood that I am infected with the virus is quite high."

"You are lying to me."

Hearing what he said, I immediately panicked.

"To be honest, hearing that you are concerned about me so much, I indeed feel that although I have fallen ill this time, it is worth it. Even if I die, it is indeed worth it."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? You aren't allowed to die!"

I never thought that Shelton would die, not even for one second.

However, this kind of possibility took place right

now.

"Okay."

Judging from Shelton's voice, I could sense that he was happy. And I could even feel that he surely was smiling at this moment.

"You probably will die. What are you so happy about?"

"It is worth it even if I die." Shelton coughed a few times over the phone and continued, "Janetta, I've been by your side for so many years. But I've never felt you care for me, need me, and like me.

In fact, the reason why I have been caring about you and helping you for so many years isn't that I want you to be grateful to me. Instead, I hope that you can get used to my existence one day and rely on me even if you don't love me. However, I didn't feel so before today.

I have a strong sense of insecurity all the time. I am afraid that you will leave me, that you will be with Patrick, and that you will do as you used to do and be with him despite that you will be his mistress..."

Shelton's words made my heart skip a beat.

I held the cell phone in my hands and shook my head. "I won't make you feel so anymore."

"Anyway, I am quite happy today. For the first time, I know that you are worried about me. Does it mean that you care about me?" "Yes, I'm so worried about you."

I admitted it.

At this moment, I was worried about Shelton so much.

If something did happen to him, I indeed couldn't bear it.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. I want to marry you."

"Well, I'll wait for the day when you marry me." I nodded, "Never should any accident happen to you. Or I'll marry someone else."

"In that case, I have to work harder on keeping myself secure."

After Shelton finished his words, he coughed a few more times.

Hearing him cough, I was quite nervous now.

As I was about to say something, I heard someone talking on Shelton's side, "Director, Doctor Roger has symptoms of renal insufficiency!"

"I'll be right there." With that, Shelton said to me, "Janetta, I have something to do here. I'll hang up first."

"Okay."

As I was about to hang up, Shelton suddenly said,

"Don't tell anyone about this, especially... my father."

"I see."

I nodded.

Shelton paused for a while over the phone and said, "Janetta, I love you. I am surely the man who loves you the most in this world. So... I certainly won't die."

After that, he hung up the phone.

I looked at the wallpaper of my cell phone with tears in my eyes.

I muttered, "Shelton Cowell, you have to be alive!"

It was Shelton's birthday the next day.

After trying my best to see Glenn off the spirit, I hugged the cell phone in my arms.

There was still no update.

It was the weekend for the next two days when Glenn wouldn't go to the kindergarten. So I accompanied him to the Museum of Science and Technology and the zoo of City Y.
