Chapter 167: Reunion with Candy

Jane pulled her arm away, giving Melissa a cold look. "Melissa, quityour shrewish act! I didn't come here to argue with you today. I justwant 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 aboutgetting involved with Patrick again! You're not welcome here, so leavequickly!

"Please, both of you, move aside!" Jane just wanted to see Old Pansyas 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 hurriedlycaught up and sternly instructed the bodyguards, "What are youstanding there for? Why haven't you kicked her out yet? She's notallowed to come here again!"

The two bodyguards hesitated after exchanging glances. Then,addressing Jane, they said, "Miss North, please leave."

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

"Jane, you shameless woman, why don't you leave? Do you still wantto harm Grandpa?" Melissa, seeing Jane standing firm, shouted infrustration.

Yesterday, Jane claimed in front of reporters that she was adopted, andtoday, this revelation had spread. Her carefully maintained image asthe heiress of a wealthy family was severely affected. Even some of herardent pursuers had cooled toward her.

Jane looked at Melissa with a mocking gaze but before she couldrespond, the door to the ward suddenly opened, revealing Patrick'sfamiliar figure in front of Jane.

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

Seeing Patrick, Melissa, the troublemaker, quickly played the victim,pointing at Jane and angrily declaring, "Cousin, this woman Jane ismalicious. Yesterday, she caused Grandpa to have a heart attack andput 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 anysleep. When he heard the faint sounds of arguing outside, he openedthe door to see what was happening, only to unexpectedly replace Jane'slively figure.

A complex expression flickered in Patrick's eyes. Thinking that Grandpaended up in this condition because of Jane, lying in bed with anuncertain 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 wasfilled with fatigue, making her heart ache.

She thought she could face Patrick calmly, but at this moment, herheart 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 suddenlysaw a man hurrying toward Jane.

It was Osborn.

"Jane, are you okay?" Osborn had been waiting for Jane at the hospitalentrance for a long time and came to replace her when she didn't show up.Jane hesitated for a moment, looked back at Osborn, and smiled, "I'mfine."

"Wow, Jane, I really underestimated you." Beatrice's lips curled into asarcastic smile. "Just got dumped by Patrick over there, and now you'regetting 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. Doyou 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 sodifficult?

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

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

Although Jane had repeatedly explained to him that she and Osbornwere just ordinary friends, Osborn’s concerned look did not appear likethat of ordinary friends.

And Jane, having broken off the engagement with him just last 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 ofthoughts.

"Jane, go back. I don't think Grandpa wants to see you," Patrick's gazewas 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 thathe 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 place, looking at theward 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 to come here again!"Beatrice, wearing a triumphant expression, didn't forget to instruct thebodyguards.

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

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

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

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

“I've seen the reports online. What's going on between you and thatPatrick?" Old North's voice carried a hint of confusion.

After saving Jane and Patrick from the island, Old North had beentraveling the world. He was initially happy, but suddenly he saw thenews 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 hergrandfather. “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." Janepretended 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 finallysaw clearly.

It was... Candy???
