I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 762 There Will Always Be a Place for You

Thus, Waylen received several messages on his phone after coming out of the laboratory. He was puzzled as

among them were seven or eight autographed photos of Daphne, as well as some exclusive merchandise that only

the studio would have. He couldn't help but wonder what those were for.

With that, he scrolled up and saw Leanna's message that read, 'Charlotte told me that you are a fan of Daphne, so I

sent these to you.' As he scrolled up further, he came across a message about Zoe's illness. He looked through it

and was about to make a phone call to her, but before dialing her number, he hesitated and typed a message

instead. 'Has your friend ever had a miscarriage?'

After a while, Leanna replied, 'Yes.'

With that, Waylen replied, 'Got it. I'll be busy these days. Just send it over together with your medicine in a couple of

days.'

'Thank you.' Leanna replied and sent him another message that read, 'There's another favor I'd like to ask of you…'

To which Waylen replied with a '?'

'My friend's mother is also feeling unwell…' Leanna replied

Waylen was speechless and realized that was the reason why Leanna sent him the autographed photos of Daphne.

But unlike Charlotte, he wasn't interested in those pictures.

Leanna then sent a text that read, 'Or perhaps you can let me know how you charge for it? I can transfer it to you. I

feel bad for troubling you like this.'

Upon reading her reply, Waylen replied, 'It's fine. It's tacky to talk about that.'

He then added, 'I eat at Naomi's place every day, and she hasn't asked me for money. Send me the information

about your friend's mother's condition. I'll take a look.'

Although Waylen said so, Leanna still felt bad and sent him a lot of local specialties from Highside.

On the other hand, when Waylen got downstairs, he said to Naomi, "Naomi, I need to make a trip to the Woodley

Residence. Are you coming along?"

Naomi, who was holding the baby, shook her head. "I won't be going." Seeing that she was caring for the child,

Waylen didn't say much and left with the car keys.

At the same time, in the ancestral hall of the Woodley Family, Philip stood at the front, and after praying for Kian,

he turned to Charlotte and said, "Charlotte, come here." Hearing that, Charlotte obediently walked over and

received a pat on the head from Charles.

Philip leaned on his cane and said, "Charlotte, Kian had always cherished you. It was he who originally arranged the

marriage engagement with Lachlan. Now that the engagement is dissolved, you should bow and apologize to him

for failing his good intentions."

Following that, Charlotte put her hands together and bowed respectfully three times. She expressed gratitude to

the departed soul of Kian silently in her heart. She hoped that in the future, she would meet someone she really

liked—someone who would make her happy just by seeing him. After bowing, she lightly touched Kian's photo.

Just then, Philip looked toward the outside of the ancestral hall and announced, "Lachlan has arrived." Hearing that,

Lachlan replied with a faint voice. With that, Philip said, "Since you're here, you should offer some prayers as well.

The Woodley Family has recently gone through so much, and the ancestral hall was almost destroyed. The spirits

here have inevitably been disturbed." Although Joseph set fire to the ancestral hall, fortunately, the fire was

promptly controlled, and the impact on the ancestral hall was minimal. Furthermore, the damaged areas had

already been renovated.

Lachlan then approached the altar, looked mellowly at the altar, and proceeded to close his eyes.

Throughout the whole process, Charlotte stood by her father's side while quietly watching Lachlan. She had a deep-

rooted fear of Lachlan. Although she had gradually gotten used to his presence during their time together, Joseph's

words had elevated her fear of him to another level.

However, this time, she wasn't afraid of what he would do to her, but she was afraid that he might harm her

grandfather and father. It was a peculiar feeling. After Lachlan offered the incense, Philip spoke up as soon as he

turned around. "I know you are against this arranged marriage with Charlotte. It's good that it's dissolved now, so

you won't be held back by her." Hearing that, Lachlan glanced at Charlotte, who immediately lowered her head and

hugged Charles' arm.

He said, "Charlotte is still a young girl. This marriage was never fair to her from the beginning." By saying this, he

had shifted the responsibility onto himself and Kian, which prevented Philip from being embarrassed.

As Philip listened to him speak, his initially stern expression softened a bit, and he politely said, "Charlotte was the

one who didn't appreciate your grandfather's good intentions."

"Be rest assured that no matter what happens within the Woodley Family, there will always be a place for you."

Lachlan looked at him without beating around the bush. After speaking, Lachlan nodded slightly in acknowledgment

and then left directly. Following that, Philip's expression turned gloomy, and he let out a silent sigh.

Noticing that, Charlotte stepped forward and supported him before asking, "Grandpa, what did he mean by what he

just said?"

"He meant that no matter how he shakes up the Woodley Family, as long as I am here, he won't harm our family,"

Philip replied.

"Isn't that a good thing, Grandpa? Why..." Charlotte paused and asked.

Upon hearing that, Charles interjected, "But once your grandpa is no longer here, his promise won't hold any

weight."

"Grandpa will live a long life! He'll live to be 100, so why worry about those things?" Charlotte affirmed.

Only then did Philip smile and pat Charlotte's hand. "Girl, I'm already ninety-eight years old this year. Does it mean

that I only have two more years to leave?"

Hearing that, Charlotte realized her mistake and blurted, "I'll take it back, I'll take it back! Grandpa will live to be

200!"

"Alright, alright. Like how you said, Grandpa will live to be 200." Philip chuckled. Charles, who was standing next to

them, couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he looked at her before saying, "Let's go."

As soon as Lachlan stepped out of the ancestral hall, Waylen approached him. "I saw Grandpa and the others

inside. Are you guys discussing your marriage with Charlotte?" Hearing that, Lachlan gave him a disdainful glance,

and Waylen immediately put on a serious demeanor before saying, "Alright, alright, I won't ask."

"How's the treatment going?" Lachlan asked calmly.

"At this stage, it's not having a significant effect anymore. I can only say that it's much better than before," Waylen

paused and continued, "But..."

"But what?"

"I've spoken to Leanna and told her that umbilical cord blood might be a solution. I've prescribed some medicine for

her, and she's undergoing treatment," Waylen said.

"I'm not Aidan, so why are you telling me all this?" Lachlan looked at him and asked.

"That's because Leanna didn't let me tell Aidan. But I felt suffocated, and you know, I don't like taking responsibility.

Between you and Aidan, there has to be someone to take the blame for me," Waylen replied.

Lachlan was speechless after hearing that. "Go back if there's nothing else!" he snapped.
