“Patrick, how could you yell at me? You’re yelling at me for this woman?” Beatrice was taken aback. After all, she was Patrick’s biological mother and the only female head of the Pansy family. Being scolded in front of so many people made her feel embarrassed.
“Mom, please leave and don’t disturb Grandpa’s rest,” Patrick frowned.
Melissa stepped forward and took Beatrice’s arm, looking obedient and sensible as she persuaded him. “Cousin, don’t be angry. Aunt is just worried about Grandpa.”
Patrick impatiently interrupted her. “Just leave now!”
Beatrice and Melissa exchanged a glance before speaking up again. “Patrick, we’ll go then.”
As they passed by Jane, Melissa even glared fiercely at her.
Jane carefully checked on Old Pansy once more before reminding Dr. Pater: “Please take good care of Old Pansy during these three days.”
Dr. Pater nodded in agreement.
As soon as Jane left the hospital room, she bumped into Candice with a loud bang.
Jane looked down to see Candice suddenly turn pale with cold sweat pouring down her face as she fell to the ground.
“Patrick…” Candice’s gaze fell firmly on Patrick who was following behind Jane.
“You’re sick?” His expression turned cold immediately.
“It’s nothing… I’m fine.” Candice gritted her teeth tightly while enduring immense pain that made her face look like death itself; even blood oozed from where she bit down too hard on her lip trying not to scream out loud in agony
Struggling to get back up from the ground again,”Miss North… Patrick… I won’t bother you anymore.”
Watching Candice walk away from them both caused Jane to ponder deeply about something…
In a blink of an eye three days had passed by quickly…
Soon it came time for Old Pansy’s injection day where everyone including members of the board were present along with Melissa and Beatrice; even Candace showed up too!
“Patrick are you really sure you want this woman treating Old Pansy? If anything goes wrong can you live with yourself knowing that your grandfather suffered because of your decision?” Beatrice watched as Jane entered the operating room dressed neatly while its doors were closed shut making everyone uneasy around them including those members present from The Board
The others around also shared similar concerns: “Yes! Even if your relationship with Jane is intimate how can you make such a foolish decision?”
Standing calmly nearby Patrick replied icily: “Then what? Do any one of you have better ideas?”
These people probably wished secretly that something would happen to Old Pansy…
Candice stepped forward, standing resolutely next to Patrick and addressing the crowd. “You all believe in Patrick, and you believe in Jane. She will definitely cure Old Pansy. Jane has said she’s 100% certain and she’s Dr. Newton’s apprentice – how could anything go wrong? You can trust her!”
While her words seemed to calm everyone down, they were actually just a way of boosting Jane up.
Patrick glanced at Candice but then closed his eyes, ignoring the scheming people around him.
This only made some of them more uneasy.
Melissa cautiously tugged on Beatrice’s sleeve and whispered, “Auntie, if that bitch Jane really does cure grandpa, I’m done for when he wakes up.”
“Don’t worry,” Beatrice replied calmly. “We’ve prepared for this with no room for error.”
In the operating room, Jane wore a mask that covered everything except her bright grape-like eyes as she calmly instructed the nurse beside her: “Sterilize needle number three and hand it to me.”
The nurse quickly sterilized it before passing it over to Jane who inserted it into Old Pansy’s heart without any hint of nervousness or fear.
“Continue with needles eight through five,” she ordered as one by one each needle was inserted into various points on his body.
As each needle was removed from Old Pansy’s body after being inserted into an acupuncture point by Jane’s skilled hands they were completely blackened!
In addition to Dr. Peter who assisted her there were many other medical professionals observing intently hoping to learn from this breakthrough moment in medicine!
“The toxins have been cleared out completely; we can begin acupuncture now,” said Jane as she began using moxibustion therapy on specific points which stimulated blood flow throughout his body allowing him stand again soon enough!
Suddenly the heart monitor started beeping frantically causing everyone present to panic momentarily until all lines went flat indicating that Old Pansy had stopped breathing altogether!
The nurse who was assisting Jane called out, pointing at her. “This woman is completely unreliable. She killed Old Pansy!”
“How is that possible?” Dr. Pater couldn’t believe Jane would make a mistake and quickly rushed over with the others to prepare for resuscitation.
But it was too late.
“I did everything right, how could this happen?” Jane panicked as she looked at Old Pansy’s motionless chest lying on the cold operating table, her face pale with horror.
Old Pansy had died under her care.
Dr. Pater didn’t know what to say.
One of the doctors stumbled out of the operating room in confusion, and when people outside saw the door open they immediately turned their attention towards them.
“How’s my grandfather doing?” Patrick asked anxiously.
The doctor trembled as he replied, “Old Pansy has passed away.”
“What?!” Patrick couldn’t believe it.
Dr. Pater then stepped forward cautiously and said, “I’m sorry Mr. Pansy, I don’t know how this happened either. Everything was going well until suddenly Old Pansy went into cardiac arrest and we didn’t have time to save him.”
Soon after that, nurses wheeled Old pansy out covered in a white sheet revealing his death!
Members of the board looked at each other in shock before turning their attention towards Patrick waiting for his reaction.
Melissa and Beatrice exchanged uncertain glances before also looking towards Patrick.
“Patrick please accept our condolences,” Candice spoke softly while lowering her head slightly trying to console him.
She narrowed her eyes hiding any trace of schadenfreude mixed within them.
This was great!
It really helped Candice!
That bitch Jane actually killed Old pansy!
Now Patrick should definitely give that bitch a piece of his mind and kick her out!
