The VIP ward of the hospital.
Jane and Patrick carefully helped Old Pansy onto the bed.
“Grandpa, rest well.” When facing Old Pansy, Patrick’s handsome face softened slightly.
Old Pansy patted Patrick’s hand. “Patrick, I’m fine.”
Jane watched as Old Pansy settled in and covered him with a blanket. She continued to advise him, “Old Pansy, I know this has made you angry and upset. But you must stay calm for your health. You can’t have any pent-up emotions or stress in your heart; otherwise, it could easily happen again.”
After careful observation, Jane knew that Candice and Beatrice as well as Melissa were all targeting Old Pansy.
So Jane made a plan with Patrick beforehand. In the operating room she followed their plan to cure Old Pansy. The nurse had injected a poisoned silver needle but she quickly replaced it with a clean one while no one was paying attention; they all thought she had really cured Old Pansy.
Afterward came the scene where Jane and Patrick “broke up” at the door of the operating room.
In fact, they had planned it all ahead of time; only Jane, Patrick and Old Pansy knew about it.
Although unable to move his body at that time, old pans could still open his eyes to listen to them talk.
Jane suggested that since someone wanted to harm old pans, they should turn things around on them instead.
Unfortunately Candice never showed up.
Jane thought Candice saw Melissa and Beatrice make their move so she took advantage of an opportunity.
“Don’t worry Jane,” said old pans calmly,”I’m already so old now that I’ve survived death once before; naturally my heart is clear about what needs acceptance.”
Old pans was very magnanimous about everything; he still wanted to live well so he could spend more years with his beloved grandson.
Thinking this way, old pans glanced over at silent Patrick beside him.
He sighed because even though there was nothing on Patricks face, he knew he must be feeling terrible inside.
Melissa didn’t matter much but Beatrice after all was his own mother!
Old pans shook off these thoughts then thanked jane,”Thanks for everything you did this time, Jane. You’ve been so good to me. I should do what i can do for you too. In addition, this thing is also my fault. I shouldn’t have acted impulsively by announcing our engagement termination directly during our engagement party.”
As she spoke, she glanced discreetly at Patrick beside her.
Regardless of whether Melissa had drugged Old Pansy or not, what she did had embarrassed the Pansy family and left Old Pansy with a loss of face. He was probably afraid and might even have an emotional breakdown.
“Alright, let’s just forget about the past. There’s no need to talk about it,” Old Pansy patted Jane’s hand before turning to Patrick. “Patrick, you can go back now. Lao Li will take care of me here.”
“Understood, Grandpa,” Patrick turned around and walked towards the door of the hospital room. “Take care.”
“Old Pansy, I’ll come see you again tomorrow,” Jane followed in step with Patrick.
Jane took a glance at his tall and cold back as he walked ahead of her.
He didn’t show anything on his face but he must be feeling upset inside right?
Jane cleared her throat before speaking up with her lips moving slightly apart.
However, just as she was about to speak up, Patrick suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to push Jane against the wall. His deep black eyes stared intently into hers as he asked: “Are you still angry with me?”
She knew exactly what he meant by that question.
“You know how much I hate being lied to especially when it comes from someone I care about like you! Of course I’m angry!” Although Jane said this out loud but deep down inside she wasn’t really mad anymore because how could she stay mad at him? She couldn’t bear it any longer so decided to teach him a lesson or else he might think that she was easy prey for him! Let’s see if he would dare deceive her again after this!
Patrick’s eyes were filled with melancholy all of a sudden while his voice became heavy: “I’ve been betrayed by my closest person now; yet even you can’t forgive me nor comfort me…”
Wow!
Jane couldn’t help but marvel inwardly because this is where things start getting dramatic between them!
But seeing how dominant and unapproachable Patrick usually is outside made Jane feel soft-hearted all over again when seeing him act weak like this…
“Okay fine,” said Jane rolling her eyes while forcing herself into an expression that looked somewhat forgiving although it wasn’t quite there yet: “I’ll forgive you only if from now on you promise never ever lie or deceive me again!”
“And if I find out that there’s anything else hidden from me then…” Before finishing off what seemed like a threat towards him though – two words – ‘you’re dead’- were cut short by an unexpected kiss from none other than Patrick himself who attacked her lips greedily while holding onto her tightly until their bodies warmed each other up despite being surrounded by such frigid air within those hospital walls…
She punched his chest with her small fists and protested with a whimper. Patrick looked at her red face and reluctantly let go of her. “Phew,” Jane finally breathed freely, quickly taking a few deep breaths. As she lifted her eyes, she saw the camera behind Patrick, causing her face to flush even more. Did they just capture the scene of their hot kiss? If someone sees it… “Ahem, can’t you be more patient next time and start somewhere more private?” Jane said softly with lowered head.
Little did she know that her shy appearance combined with the kiss just now made her voice soft and sweet, carrying a hint of reluctance yet willingness that made people’s hearts race.
Patrick’s breathing hitched as he reached out his well-defined hand to gently hold Jane’s small hand while using his thumb to lightly rub it. “Jane, are you inviting me to take our relationship further?” he asked.
“Uh…” Jane was speechless and quickly denied it by saying, “You’re thinking too much.”
Giving him a glare, Jane focused on the task at hand. This plan wasn’t just about luring Melissa and Beatrice out; there was also an important person – Candice! When they were planning to poison Old Pansy in the operating room earlier on, besides Beatrice and Melissa, Candice was also involved. However this time around they weren’t able to catch Candice.
Jane had always felt that Candice was holding onto some big move against herself and Patrick while being controlled by someone else behind-the-scenes – making Candice an important chess piece for them both.
Candice needed to be removed as soon as possible!
With this in mind, Jane raised her gaze towards Patrick’s deep eyes before asking in a calm tone: “Patrick if I told you that Candy isn’t actually Candice would you believe me?”
