“Alright, stop fooling around,” Jane took a step back, avoiding the kiss.
They stopped in front of Old Pansy’s hospital room door. Jane carefully recalled the scene when she saw Candice, “If I’m not mistaken, she’s definitely not sick.”
“How do you know?” Patrick asked with a raised eyebrow.
Jane pondered, “Chinese medicine emphasizes observing the patient. Although her face is pale, her eyes are clear. Especially her steps are steady. Moreover, the blood she spat out, the smell isn’t right. She put a lot of effort into deceiving you, bribing doctors and nurses, even using fake blood.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick’s heart sank. It was impossible for Candice to do all these things alone.
So…
“Someone is helping her from behind,” Patrick said in a low voice.
“You guessed it,” Jane wasn’t surprised. She could guess it, and it shouldn’t be difficult for Patrick.
Jane glanced at him, “If Candice isn’t Candy but knows so much about Candy, when you find out about her and the person behind her, you should be able to find your Candy.”
Patrick noticed Jane’s use of the phrase “your Candy” and knew she was jealous again.
He tightened his grip on her hand, took a step forward, closing the distance between them. “What’s wrong? Don’t you believe in my feelings for you?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe, but who knows what’s in the heart of this man. I don’t even know how well someone treated her when they found out Candice was Candy. If another person appears, who knows…” Jane’s words were cut off by Patrick’s lips, completely sealed.
He embraced her, and the intense kisses rained down, stealing away Jane’s calm rationality. She could only lean softly against his chest, accepting his kisses.
Patrick’s kisses were dominant, domineering, and rough, with a hint of punishment.
This woman, even at this moment, doubted his feelings for her.
Patrick increased the intensity, his hands imprisoning the woman’s head in front of him. His tongue directly opened her lips, sucking and entangling, almost devouring her.
The electric feeling, coupled with a hint of pain, made Jane gasp for breath.
“Sigh…” Jane finally managed to take a breath, “It hurts…”
Seeing Jane like this, Patrick’s heart softened.
He slowed down, starting to be gentle.
Patrick’s kissing actions became gentler. Soon, an inexplicable throbbing sensation swept over Jane’s body.
It made her feel shy but also comfortable and beautiful, wanting more.
Heavens, why did she have such thoughts…
Jane’s face turned as red as a boiled shrimp in an instant.
It wasn’t clear how much time passed before Patrick finally let go of Jane.
If they weren’t at Old Pansy’s hospital room door, he might not have been willing to let her go so quickly.
Blushing, Jane leaned against his chest.
“Can we not do this in a place like this next time? It would be really awkward if Grandpa suddenly came out and saw us,” Jane couldn’t help but complain.
“I think Grandpa would probably enjoy hearing about it,” Patrick was in a very good mood at the moment, and the curve at the corner of his mouth, which softened his usually firm and icy face, couldn’t be stopped from rising.
Listening to his words, Jane was instantly speechless, not engaging with that topic.
She turned to look at the hospital room door and gently knocked. Old Pansy’s voice echoed from inside.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and Amy greeted them respectfully, “Mr. Pansy, Mrs. Pansy.”
Patrick was pleased with Amy’s address. Holding Jane’s hand, they walked inside.
Old Pansy was sitting on the bed, looking at a newspaper with reading glasses, his eyes full of kindness.
Upon seeing them, he immediately put down the newspaper, took off his glasses, and smiled, “Jane, come, sit here.”
“Old Pansy, how do you feel?” Jane allowed herself to be led by Old Pansy, sitting next to his hospital bed.
“Much better. After you gave me acupuncture, I feel much lighter. The previous feeling of congestion in my heart has reduced by a lot,” Old Pansy said cheerfully.
Jane grabbed Old Pansy’s hand and placed it on the blanket, speaking in an extremely soft and pleasant voice, “That’s good. Grandpa, let me take your pulse again to thoroughly understand your health.”
“Sure, sure.” Old Pansy looked at Jane, who was so filial and obedient, his face couldn’t contain the smile.
He glanced at Patrick standing beside, “So, did Grandpa pick the wrong fiancée for you?”
“Of course not,” Patrick raised an eyebrow, “The old man still has his wits about him.”
Jane pursed her lips. What were these two talking about? Could they change the topic?
She pretended she hadn’t heard anything and focused on taking Old Pansy’s pulse.
Patrick’s deep gaze remained fixed on Jane.
They say a man who works seriously is most attractive to women.
It turns out that a woman who is seriously focused is also very attention-grabbing.
Patrick looked at Jane’s profile, her delicate and exquisite features, fair and clear skin. He was completely captivated.
He couldn’t wait to marry this woman.
In this lifetime, Jane could only be his woman!
He watched earnestly. When Mr. Maurice entered, Patrick didn’t even notice.
After a few minutes, Jane finished taking the pulse. She gently released Old Pansy’s hand and sighed, “Old Pansy, your pulse is stable. Aside from being weakened due to this prolonged illness, there’s nothing major. With proper care during this time, you should recover.”
“Thank you, Jane.” Old Pansy held Jane’s hand, sighing involuntarily.
This time, he really took a trip around the gates of death. If it weren’t for Dr. Newton and Jane, he might not have survived.
Jane held Old Pansy’s hand, “No trouble at all, Old Pansy. Rest assured, with me around, you’ll live a long and healthy life!”
“I won’t expect to live a hundred years, but I hope to see you and Patrick get married in my lifetime and give me a chubby great-grandchild,” Old Pansy said, rubbing his beard, smiling.
“A granddaughter is also fine!” Old Pansy was afraid Jane would think he favored boys over girls and quickly added this.
Jane felt a bit embarrassed, “Old Pansy, what are you saying? It’s too soon for that.”
“Not soon at all.” Patrick took a step forward, standing in front of Jane, looking down at her, “I can’t wait a moment longer.”
Jane: !!!
Could they please not talk about this topic again? It’s too awkward…
