Chapter 189: A Series of Nightmares
Patrick''s deep gaze flickered with a hint of surprise,nding on the
middle-aged man behind Jane.
If he wasn''t mistaken, this seemingly unremarkable man should be Dr.
Newton.
Patrick took a step forward, his tone carrying a hint of respect, "Dr.
Newton, thank you."
Rory let out a cold snort, "If you want to thank someone, thank Jane."
The usually lofty Patrick felt a bit embarrassed, giving a wry smile.
It seemed that the temperament of miracle workers was a bit peculiar.
Otherwise, Rory, with his extraordinary medical skills, wouldn''t have
hidden away in this icy wilderness without reason.
Considering this, Patrick understood. He was concerned about Old
Pansy''s condition, "Jane, time is of the essence. Let''s set off as soon
as possible."
Jane nodded gently, "Let''s go!"
She also wanted to return to Guavo quickly and cure Old Pansy.
Patrick pulled out his phone, intending to call Morton when Candice,
panting heavily, ran over. She went straight to Patrick, grabbed his arm,
and spoke softly, “Paddy.”
With disheveled hair and still wearing cotton slippers, she looked
somewhat disheveled.
"Candy? What happened?" Patrick was taken aback, his thin lips
slightly lifted.
Candice, warily ncing at Jane, tightened her grip on Patrick''s arm,
her voice soft, "I woke up and couldn''t find you. I searched everywhere,
only to discover you''re here."
Patrick hade out while Candice was asleep. Now, seeing her
anxious appearance, he patted her shoulder reassuringly, “Candy, Jane
has found Dr. Newton. We need to rush back to Guavo. Since you
haven''t fully recovered, stay here and rest for a few days. I''ll have
Mortone to pick you up in a few days."Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
"No, Paddy, I don''t want to stay alone. I want to go back with you."
Candice''s head shook like a tambourine.
How could she let Patrick and Jane go together? She wouldn''t give
Jane any chance to get close to Patrick!
"But your health..." Patrick hesitated.
Tears welled up in Candice’s eyes as she looked at him, pitifully saying,
“I''m fine. I don''t want to stay alone. I''ll be scared..."
Seeing Candice portraying herself as a weak and pitiful white lotus in
front of Patrick, Jane''s expression turned cold, impatiently urging,
"Patrick, are you leaving or not?!"
"Let''s go," Patrick''s expression became stern.
The group boarded Patrick''s private ne, flying towards Guavo.
"Patrick, is this ne safe?" Nana, sitting next to Jane, looked around
uneasily. "It won''t have any idents or be tampered with again,
right?"
Jane''s previous life-threatening experience at sea had frightened Nana
considerably. Now, sitting on Patrick''s private ne, Nana was starting
to develop a fear of heights.
Patrick sat in the front seat, turning to look at Jane''s face with his deep
gaze.
Their eyes met, but Jane averted hers.
Patrick''s handsome face darkened a bit, and he spoke with some
frustration, "Miss Nana, do you think I would make the same mistake
twice?"
Morton quickly added, "Miss Nana, rest assured. I''ve had the ne
thoroughly checked; it''s very safe, no issues at all."
“That''s good to hear,” Nana shrugged.
"Paddy, are you sure everything is okay?" Candice naturally sat next to
Patrick, clinging to him throughout the journey like a piece of toffee.
“Yeah, it''s fine," Patrick said indifferently.
Candice nced yfully at the man beside her, resting her head on
his shoulder. "Paddy, do you know that ever since I fell off the cliff that
time, I''ve been most afraid of standing in high ces and also afraid of
flying in nes.”
Patrick''s heart skipped a beat.
Fear of heights and nes... Jane also had acrophobia.
Candy and Jane had many simrities.
Not sensing the man''s peculiar reaction beside her, Candice continued,
"But now, with you by my side, I''m not afraid of anything.”
"Yeah," Patrick responded indifferently, his mind elsewhere. "We still
have two hours before reaching Guavo. Take a good rest for now."
Her body shivering, Candice suddenly snuggled into Patrick''s embrace.
"Paddy, I feel so cold..."
Candice clung tightly to him, a sensation that made Patrick somewhat
ufortable.
Gently pushing Candice away, he took off his suit jacket and draped it
over her. In a detached tone, he said, "This should keep you warm."
Feeling Patrick''s distance, Candice''s expression changed slightly.
ncing at Jane, who sat expressionless in the back seat, she lifted a
sweet and satisfied smile. "Paddy, you''re so good to me."
This scene was particrly piercing in Jane''s eyes.
Jane simply closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
Yet, involuntarily, scenes from the ne crash when she returned from
France with Patrick resurfaced in her mind.
It hadn''t even been half a month since then, but thinking about it now
felt like a lifetime ago.
What Patrick earnestly said to her at that time, were they sincere?
With furrowed brows, Jane took a deep breath, banishing these
inexplicable emotions from her heart.
She wondered if Patrick had discovered the mastermind behind the
ne crash?
Was it really Winston?
If so, why hadn''t she heard any news about Winston?
If not, then who could it be?
Silently contemting these thoughts, Jane''s eyelids grew heavier,
finally sumbing to the realm of dreams.
Her sleep was uneasy.
In her dream, she felt trapped in a pitch-ck room.
Many people intimidated and beat her.
She wanted to struggle but was powerless.
Suddenly, the scene changed. She was running haphazardly in the
mountains.
There were many menacing figures chasing her.
As they were about to catch up, Jane ran forward desperately.
But-
Ahead was a cliff...
She looked down, a pitch-ck abyss, unfathomable.
With an ambush ahead and pursuers behind, she had no way out!
Just as Jane felt helpless, a tall woman with high heels walked toward
her, sneering.
It was Candice!
She approached Jane step by step, her delicate face contorted, red lips
opening like a venomous snake. "Paddy is mine, and no one can take
him away! Jane, including you!"
As she spoke, Candice reached out, pushing Jane fiercely off the cliff!
"Ah! No!!!" The terrifying sense of falling spread throughout her body,
and Jane woke up abruptly.
