I looked down with a wry smile. "In fact, as you said before, I don't know what charm I have that can make both of them addicted to me.¹
"However, Shelton really injected the virus into Glenn."
I told Melissa all the recent symptoms of Glenn and Shelton's conditions to me.
After hearing what I said, Melissa looked very serious.
In order to make sure, she asked me again, "Do you dare to swear that every word you said is true?"
"I do." I looked at Melissa firmly. "If I lie, I will die a horrible death!"
Melissa snorted at my oath.
But it didn't mean that she didn't believe what I said.
She looked at me with a serious look. "What are you going to do then? Are you really going to marry him?"
"I don't know." I shook my head and said, "But no matter what, I can't watch Glenn die."
I looked at Melissa. "You are also a mother. You know how it feels. Even if let me give up Patrick, I can not give up Glenn."
If I could only choose one or the other, I would choose my son.
Hearing this, Melissa sighed heavily. "Shelton, Shelton, to be honest, we have been on guard against him all the time, but we didn't expect that he took a shot at you."
I looked at Melissa and said seriously, "Auntie, I really love Patrick. I hope to be with him for the rest of my life. I believe he loves Glenn and me as well. But I may not be able to be with him in this lifetime. If you two hate me, I won't blame you."
"Alas!" Melissa sighed again. "I know my child best. He really loves you deeply. If you marry Shelton, he will take you back by all means necessary."
"I will be done with him." I clasped my hands together. "He left without saying goodbye this time can be the best reason for me to do so. I will use this excuse to leave him forever."
Aside from this, I couldn't think of any other way.
Melissa shook her head helplessly after listening to what I said. "Forget it. I can't interfere in the affairs of you young people. It's up to you."
She finished and left without looking at me more
than once.
I sat alone in the cafe and looked at the traffic outside the window. My heart felt very miserable.
However, I didn't leave even a drop of tear.
After that day, everything was as usual.
I accompanied Shelton to another two events. Two weeks later, he gave me the medicine again.
When he was giving me the medicine, he asked me, "Have you thought it over?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, let's get married."
"Get married." I murmured silently.
There's nothing else I could ask for to keep Glenn alive.
I gave Glenn another three days of medication.
Three days later, Glenn's fever was gone and my life went on as usual.
There was still no news from Patrick. I was ready to marry Shelton.
Even some clothes had been moved to his house in Glorious Days bay.
But I didn't expect that even the God is helping me with this.
Paulina had a sudden fever when I was at work one day. I took her to the hospital near the studio to see a doctor.
The doctor prescribed an IV for her.
I went to get water for her while she was on an IV.
I walked into the lobby of the hospital and saw a woman pushing a wheelchair in the crowd. I recognized that person at first glance. It was Shirley.
It occurred to me that day Shelton had wanted to have sex with me. It was a call from Shirley who asked him to let me go.
