Chapter 167: Reunion With Candy


    Chapter 167: Reunion with Candy


    Jane pulled her arm away, giving Melissa a cold look. "Melissa, quit your shrewish act! I didn''te


    here to argue with you today. I just want to see Old Pansy."


    "Aunt, look at Jane. She''s insulting me!" Melissa, looking aggrieved, held Beatrice''s hand.


    Beatrice frowned and raised her voice. "Jane, let me make it clear. We, the Pansy family, have no


    connection with you. Don''t even think about getting involved with Patrick again! You''re not wee


    here, so leave quickly!"


    "Please, both of you, move aside!" Jane just wanted to see Old Pansy as soon as possible. She


    didn''t want to waste time arguing with them. She pushed past Beatrice and walked straight ahead.


    Seeing Jane approaching the door to the ward, Beatrice hurriedly caught up and sternly instructed


    the bodyguards, "What are you standing there for? Why haven''t you kicked her out yet? She''s not


    allowed toe here again!"


    The two bodyguards hesitated after exchanging nces. Then, addressing Jane, they said, "Miss


    North, please leave."


    Jane gave them a cold nce. "Please step aside."


    "Jane, you shameless woman, why don''t you leave? Do you still want to harm Grandpa?" Melissa,


    seeing Jane standing firm, shouted in frustration.


    Yesterday, Jane imed in front of reporters that she was adopted, and today, this revtion had


    spread. Her carefully maintained image as the heiress of a wealthy family was severely affected.


    Even some of her ardent pursuers had cooled toward her.


    Jane looked at Melissa with a mocking gaze but before she could respond, the door to the ward


    suddenly opened, revealing Patrick''s familiar figure in front of Jane.


    "What are you all doing?" Patrick furrowed his brow and spoke in a cold tone.


    Seeing Patrick, Melissa, the troublemaker, quickly yed the victim, pointing at Jane and angrily


    dering, "Cousin, this woman Jane is malicious. Yesterday, she caused Grandpa to have a heart


    attack and put his life in danger. Now, she''s here trying to provoke Grandpa again. She''s simply


    heartless!"


    Patrick''s cool gaze swept over Jane''s face.


    He had been standing by Old Pansy''s bedside all night, not getting any sleep. When he heard the


    faint sounds of arguing outside, he opened the door to see what was happening, only to


    unexpectedly find Jane''s lively figure.


    Aplex expression flickered in Patrick''s eyes. Thinking that Grandpa ended up in this condition


    because of Jane, lying in bed with an uncertain fate, Patrick''s face turned colder.


    "It''s you," Patrick''s tone was indifferent, without a hint of emotion.


    Jane nodded, meeting Patrick''s chilly gaze.


    After a night, he looked much more exhausted. His handsome face was filled with fatigue, making


    her heart ache.


    She thought she could face Patrick calmly, but at this moment, her heart was pounding.


    "Patrick, I came to check on Mr. Pansy." Jane took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound


    calm.


    Patrick furrowed his brows and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a man hurrying toward


    Jane.


    It was Osborn.


    "Jane, are you okay?" Osborn had been waiting for Jane at the hospital entrance for a long time


    and came to find her when she didn''t show up.


    Jane hesitated for a moment, looked back at Osborn, and smiled, "I''m fine."


    "Wow, Jane, I really underestimated you." Beatrice''s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "Just got


    dumped by Patrick over there, and now you''re getting cozy with Osborn?"


    "Mrs. Pansy, please don''t spread rumors!" Osborn''s face darkened.


    Beatrice sneered, "You''re protecting this little slut Jane so fiercely. Do you dare to say there''s


    nothing between you two?"


    Jane felt a bit overwhelmed. She just wanted to check on Old Pansy, see his condition, and see if


    she could be of any help. Why was it so difficult?


    She looked at Patrick again and said, "Patrick, let me go in and see Old Pansy."


    The moment Patrick saw Osborn, his already subdued expression turned even colder.


    Although Jane had repeatedly exined to him that she and Osborn were just ordinary friends,


    Osborn''s concerned look did not appear like that of ordinary friends.


    And Jane, having broken off the engagement with him justst night, was now with Osborn. It was


    truly ironic.


    Could it be that she broke off the engagement with him for Osborn?


    In just a few seconds, Patrick''s mind went through a whirlwind of thoughts.


    "Jane, go back. I don''t think Grandpa wants to see you," Patrick''s gaze was as cold as ice.


    After saying this, he turned around and walked back into the ward.


    With a bang, the ward door closed.


    The sound shook Jane, making her tremble.


    Why...


    She just wanted to see Old Pansy, and Patrick hated her so much that he wouldn''t even agree to


    this small request?


    Her heart sank a little bit.


    The pain gradually spread throughout her body.


    "Jane, let''s go." Seeing Jane standing dazed in ce, looking at the ward door, Osborn walked to


    her side and spoke softly.


    Jane came to her senses, nodded somewhat dispiritedly.


    "Both of you, remember this. Jane is not allowed toe here again!" Beatrice, wearing a


    triumphant expression, didn''t forget to instruct the bodyguards.

    "Yes, Mrs. Pansy!" The two bodyguards respectfully responded.


    As they walked out of the hospital gates, Jane received a call from Old North.


    "Jane, it''s me." Old North''s voice came through the phone.


    Hearing her grandfather''s warm voice, Jane''s nose tingled, and she said, "Grandpa."


    "I''ve seen the reports online. What''s going on between you and that Patrick?" Old North''s voice


    carried a hint of confusion.


    After saving Jane and Patrick from the ind, Old North had been traveling the world. He was


    initially happy, but suddenly he saw the news about Jane and Patrick canceling their engagement


    ceremony, along with the news of Old Pansy having a heart attack.


    "Grandpa, I..." Jane took a deep breath, not wanting to worry her grandfather. "It''s nothing. I''ll


    handle these things myself."


    "Can you really handle it?" Old North raised an eyebrow.


    "Yes, Grandpa, you enjoy your time. Don''t worry about me." Jane pretended to be calm.


    Old North knew his precious granddaughter''s personality. He nodded, "Alright, then. If you need


    anything, remember to call me first."


    After hanging up the phone, Jane opened the car door, ready to get in. Suddenly, she saw a woman


    in the distance, carrying a thermos, walking towards the hospital.


    That woman... looked very familiar.


    As the woman approached, Jane squinted her beautiful eyes and finally saw clearly.


    It was... Candy???
