Even though she had juste to see Osborn, Maria couldn’t help feeling a bit disheartened. However, she knew her boundaries. ncing at the fruit basket in her hand, she made up her mind and pushed open the door to the ward.


    Osborn looked over, and Jane instinctively turned her head, retracting the hand ced on the quilt. Seeing Maria, Jane smiled and nodded, “Maria, you’re here.”


    Osborn, noticing Maria’s arrival, also paused for a moment. He observed Jane’s reaction, and there was a brief moment of disappointment in his eyes. Nevertheless, he politely smiled at Maria.


    Maria suddenly felt a bit awkward, but she quickly adjusted her mindset. She smiled subtly and said, “Jane, I came to see how Osborn is doing. Is he feeling better?”


    Jane, unsure how to excuse herself, felt relieved with Maria’s arrival – she was her lifeline. Reacting quickly, she stood up and said, “He’s in the middle of resting. Since you’re here, why not keep himpany? I just remembered there’s something at thepany I need to take care of. I should head back.”


    With that, Jane picked up her bag from the side, signaling for Osborn to rest well.


    Osborn’s mind was clear, but he still wanted to detain Jane. “You…”


    Just one word slipped out of his mouth, but Osborn thought better of it and swallowed the rest. It could wait; there was time.


    At Nana’s home,


    “Nana,e and see this!” Carl had been scrolling through news on his phone. Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and called out to Nana.


    Due to their shared experience of saving someone, Nana’s guard against Carl had lessened. She walked over and sat next to him, asking in puzzlement, “What’s wrong? What’s got you so worked up?”


    Carl held up his phone in front of her, and there, Patrick’s announcement of his intention to marry Candice was disyed, along with the news of Candice trying on wedding dresses.


    Nana’s eyes widened, “What? Patrick is going to marry Candice?”


    How was that possible? Wasn’t Patrick intimately involved with Jane just a short while ago? How did he suddenly end up marrying someone else?


    They exchanged nces, and the unspoken understanding between them revealed their shared thoughts. Originally, they had nned to stay in H City for a few more days due to Jerry and Tracy’s insistence. But now, it seemed they had to return immediately to rify things with Jane.


    They couldn’t just part ways without understanding what had happened.


    The two immediately got up to pack their bags. In less than two hours, they dragged their suitcases to the entrance, changing into their shoes. Nana hastily left a sentence for Jerry and Tracy, “Mom, Dad, there’s something urgent with Jane. Carl and I need to go back and check on it. I’lle back to see you when I have time.”


    …


    Nana was restless on the ne, and seeing her nervous demeanor, Carl tried tofort her, “Nana, don’t worry. Maybe there’s some hidden reason behind Jane and them?”


    “But Patrick is getting married to someone else…” Nana sighed. Her emotions were anxious, and she even began considering how she would console Jane.


    “Well, forget it. Let’s talk to Jane when we see her.”


    Three hourster, Nana and Carl hurriedly left the airport. In the taxi, Nana called Jane. “Hello? Jane, Carl and I are back now. Where are you? There’s something I need to tell you.”


    After Jane gave the address, the two of them rushed over without dy.


    “Bang, bang, bang!” The urgent knocking on the door echoed through the room. “Coming,ing,” Jane hurriedly walked over and opened the door, only to see Nana and Carl standing outside, panting.


    Seeing the two of them, Jane couldn’t help but chuckle and instinctively stepped aside, asking, “What’s going on with you two? Why are you in such a hurry? Come inside and have some water.”


    Nana nced at her helplessly, walked in quickly, and as soon as Jane ced two sses of juice in front of them, Nana grabbed her hand and sat beside her.


    “Don’t be in a rush. I have something to ask you,” Nana said earnestly.


    Seeing her best friend so serious, Jane couldn’t help but smile and asked, “What’s the matter? Why so serious? Just tell me.”


    Nana adjusted her phone to the page where she had read the news in the morning and held it up to Jane, asking anxiously, “What’s the deal between you and Patrick? Weren’t you two in a good rtionship? Howe he’s getting engaged to Candice?”


    “I thought it was something serious.” After seeing the news, Jane instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was something major. However, she realized that Nana was unaware of her n, so it was understandable.


    She looked at Nana with a secretive expression, a clear hint of amusement in her eyes, and said, “Don’t worry, this was something Patrick and I discussed a long time ago. You don’t need to be in a hurry either. Soon, there will be an interesting show to watch.”


    “Discussed?” Nana became even more confused. What did they discuss that led to such a big fuss?


    “Let me tell you what happened…”


    After Jane exined the whole story, Nana finally let go of her worriespletely and rxed. She smiled, saying, “Look at you, not even telling me about such a big thing in advance. I actually thought Patrick had truly fallen in love with someone else.”


    Jane smiled and shook her head. “I initially didn’t n to tell anyone. I thought it would be better if fewer people knew, to make it more realistic. But now that the show is about to begin, it doesn’t matter if I tell you. Oh, and…”


    Jane remembered something and looked back and forth between Nana and Carl with a meaningful smile. “What about you two… How are things going now?”


    Upon hearing this question, both of them couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward. Carl smiled and didn’t say anything.


    He knew that Nana still couldn’t ept him at the moment, but rushing things wouldn’t help. It had to be taken slowly.


    Nana nced at Jane with a hint of annoyance, then exined, “What are you thinking? Carl and I are just good friends now. As for what you’re thinking… I’m not considering that at all. And…”


    Nana was about to say something but stopped.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Jane pursed her lips. She seemed to anticipate what Nana was about to say. Carl, being sensible, spoke up, “We just arrived after getting off the ne, and I’m a bit hungry. Jane, do you have anything to eat at home? Do you mind if I look for something?”


    “You can check the refrigerator. There should be a few pieces of the small cakes I made.”


    After Carl left, Nana grabbed Jane’s hand and asked worriedly, “How’s William been while I was away? Is his leg much better now?”


    “He’s been doing much better,” Jane nodded. “He has been cooperating with the treatment and has made great progress. Currently, he’s in the observation phase, but there shouldn’t be any major issues.”
