Chapter 166: A Gloomy Situation

“The surgery was very successful,” Dr. Pater pushed his gold-rimmedglasses and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Patrick breathed a sigh of relief at his words but heard Dr. Patercautiously say, "However..."

"However what?" Patrick's heart tightened, pressing for an answer."However, Old Pansy's condition is still not optimistic,” Dr. Patercarefully began, "Whether he can wake up, I cannot guarantee.”Patrick's face darkened, his voice hoarse, "Impossible! Grandpa will befine!"

Soon, a nurse pushed a mobile bed out.

"Grandpa." Patrick stood by the bed, looking down at the unconsciousOld Pansy, his heart twisted in pain.

Melissa stepped forward, "Cousin, don't worry too much. Grandpa is alucky person; he will be fine."

Patrick nodded faintly.

The next day, the weather was gloomy.

Jane opened her eyes groggily.

What she saw was a white glass lamp.

Where was she?

Rubbing her temples, the memories of yesterday gradually returned.Yesterday was supposed to be her engagement day with Patrick, but-Patrick was with Candy behind her back.

She canceled the engagement ceremony, and Old Pansy collapseddue to the shock.

Images from yesterday kept replaying in Jane's mind.

Jane's heart ached in waves.

As she tried to get up, the door to the room opened, and Osbornwalked in.

"Jane, you're awake?" Osborn walked to the bedside, asking withconcern.

“Is it you?" Jane looked around. "Is this your house?"

"Yes." Osborn spoke gently, “I made breakfast. What do you want toeat?"

Jane shook her head, "I have no appetite.”

Seeing Jane looking exhausted, Osborn's eyes filled with distress. “Noteating is not good. Let me bring you a glass of milk first."

"Osborn." Jane stopped him, "How's Mr. Pansy now?"

“I heard he had surgery and hasn't woken up yet,” Osborn sighed softly.Jane's face tightened, “I want to go see Mr. Pansy."

"Then eat breakfast first, and I'll take you there.” Osborn patted Jane'sshoulder, hesitating to speak. "About you and Patrick..."

Jane wanted to visit Old Pansy at the hospital, and she would likelyencounter Patrick.

Osborn feared it would reopen emotional wounds for Jane.

"Osborn, I don't want to talk about it right now.” Jane took a deepbreath, speaking calmly.

Just mentioning Patrick made her heart ache.

Jane didn't want to dwell on the sad things now. She only wanted toconfirm Old Pansy's condition.

She reluctantly ate a few bites of breakfast and then urged Osborn totake her to the hospital.

In the car, Jane habitually opened her phone to check the news.News about the cancellation of her engagement with Patrick floodedthe internet.

Photos of Patrick and Candy were even posted online!

Jane's heart skipped a beat.

These paparazzi really invaded every corner, even capturing Candy.Looking at the photo of Patrick supporting Candy, with Candy leaninginto his embrace, the intimate scene triggered a dense pain in Jane'sheart.

After taking a few deep breaths, Jane managed to calm her emotions abit.

Public opinion was escalating rapidly, with various mocking andabusive comments about Jane flooding the internet.

?Jane is just a scheming woman. She got dumped by Patrick andpretended to be noble by canceling the wedding. Now, Old Pansy iscritically ill, and she has no shame!l

?A country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin. How could she beworthy of Patrick? Getting dumped is what she deserves!

?Does anyone know who Patrick's new love interest is?

Seeing Jane's unpleasant expression, Osborn glanced at her andasked, "Jane, are you okay?"

“I'm fine,” Jane regained her composure and locked her phone.

From childhood to now, Jane had never been so harshly criticized.Although Jane repeatedly warned herself not to think about thesecomments, when facing public criticism, her heart couldn't remaincompletely calm.

"Jane, we're here," Osborn's words brought Jane back to reality.

Jane opened the car door and got out. "Osborn, wait for me here."

“I'l accompany you inside," Osborn expressed concern.

"No need, just wait for me here," Jane replied calmly.

Now that she was in the spotlight, she didn't want anyone to captureher and Osborn together at this critical moment. After all, Osborn'spopularity was high, and paparazzi were eager to capture news abouthim.

Seeing Jane's determination, Osborn's eyes dimmed. "Be careful, andcall me if anything happens.”

"Okay," Jane nodded faintly.

Just as she entered the hospital gate, two young nurses noticed herand started gossiping:

"Look, isn't that her?"

“Yeah, Jane! The one dumped by Mr. Pansy. What is she doing here atthe hospital?"

"Could it be to visit Old Pansy?"

"Tsk tsk, does she still have the face to come? I bet she's unwilling tolet Mr. Pansy go..."

"So shameless!"

The two nurses spoke disdainfully, staring at Jane with judgmentaleyes.

Jane walked past them expressionlessly, heading to the inpatientdepartment.

"Excuse me, where is Mr. Old Pansy's room?" Jane approached theservice desk and inquired.

The nurse at the desk glanced at Jane and pointed forward, saying,"VIP guest room on the eighth floor."

“Thank you."

Jane took the elevator and headed straight to the eighth floor. Glancinginside, she noticed the heavily guarded room at the end, with twobodyguards standing outside.

Old Pansy should be in that room.

With each step, Jane's mood grew heavier.

Patrick should be in the room now, right?

Did he still think she was responsible for Old Pansy's condition?

Jane rubbed her forehead, trying to calm herself down.

Now wasn't the time to dwell on this. The priority was Old Pansy'shealth.

Just as Jane was thinking, a sudden sharp female voice echoed behindher, "Jane, what are you doing here?!"

Jane paused and turned around to see Melissa and Beatrice marchingangrily toward her.

Not them again...

Jane furrowed her brows, choosing to ignore these two irrelevantwomen and continued walking forward. However, Melissa grabbed herarm.

"Jane, isn't it enough that you caused Grandpa to be unconscious onthe hospital bed? Do you still have the face to come here?" Melissaglared at Jane and scolded vehemently.
