Chapter 169: Jane Moves Out

"Who is he?" Patrick's eyes narrowed, pressing for an answer.

Dr. Pater glanced at the heart monitor connected to Old Pansy beforespeaking, "Dr. Newton was once a renowned traditional Chinesemedicine master worldwide. His medical skills were exceptional, curingmany terminal patients. However, something happened twenty yearsago, and he suddenly disappeared.”

"Disappeared?" Patrick's expression tensed, urgency in his tone."Where can he be found now?"

Dr. Pater regretfully shook his head, “I don't know. Or, I should say, noone knows."

The glimmer of hope Patrick had seen faded away. Lips pressed into athin line, he fell silent for a moment before asking, "What happenedtwenty years ago?"

Dr. Pater sighed lightly, “I don't know the specifics. I only heard from mymentor that whatever occurred twenty years ago dealt him a severeblow. Since then, Dr. Newton vanished. Many have tried to replace him, butin vain. It's been so many years, and no one knows if he's still alive."Hearing Dr. Pater's words, Patrick's face darkened, eyebrowsfurrowing.

Staring at the comatose Old Pansy on the hospital bed, Patrick'sknuckles tightened one by one.

Even if Dr. Newton were at the ends of the earth, he had to replace himquickly!

Grandpa couldn't wait, and Patrick couldn't bear to watch him remainunconscious.

This feeling of helplessness was too unbearable.

Just as Patrick was about to call Morton to send someone to replace Dr.Newton, the door of the ward opened.

Maurice walked in, asking with concern, "Mr. Patrick, how is OldPansy?"

Patrick's gaze dimmed, responding in a flat tone, "The same, stillunconscious."

Seeing Patrick looking worn-out, Maurice felt a pang of sympathy. Hewalked over and comforted, “Mr. Patrick, you don't need to worry toomuch. Old Pansy is a resilient person; he will wake up.”

"Alright," Patrick responded indifferently.

Maurice continued, "Mr. Patrick, you've been with Old Pansy for a dayand a night. Even an iron body can't endure that. You should go andrest for a while. I'll take care of Old Pansy."

Patrick shook his head, "I want to stay with Grandpa.”

Maurice patted his shoulder, "Mr. Patrick, I understand how you feelright now. But what if you fall ill too? I believe your grandfather wouldn'twant you to neglect your health. Listen to Mr. Maurice, go back and getsome rest. I'll call you immediately if anything happens.”

After a moment of contemplation, Patrick said, "Fine, then it's up to you,Mr. Maurice."

Having been with Old Pansy for decades, Maurice had a greatrelationship with him. Patrick trusted Maurice to take care of Old Pansyin his absence.

Patrick gave a few more instructions to the guards at the door beforeturning and leaving.

Sitting in Osborn's car, Jane gazed out the window, her thoughts indisarray.

Taking a deep breath, she redirected her gaze and looked at the ringon her hand.

It was the ring Patrick had given her when he proposed.

Memories suddenly flooded back, overwhelming her mind.

Patrick shielded her from the knife, disregarding his own life and deathto save her. He proposed to her romantically.

Since he doesn't love her, why go to such lengths for her?

Is it really just because she resembles Candy?

Rubbing her forehead, Jane dispelled those swirling thoughts.

At this moment, Old Pansy's illness was the most crucial matter.

If Patrick won't let her see Old Pansy, she'll have to replace another way.Quietly removing the ring, Jane glanced at Osborn and pursed her lips."Osborn, can you do me a favor?"

"Of course," Osborn answered without even asking what she neededhelp with.

In a low voice, Jane said, "Help me replace a house. Just buy it outright. Iwant to move in as soon as possible."

Since she had already called off the engagement with Patrick, she hadno reason to stay in Shuiyue New City.

Osborn smiled, "No need to go through so much trouble. I have anapartment in the East City Garden. If you don't mind, you can move inanytime."

"Thank you," Jane squinted her eyes slightly, leaning back into theseat.

Osborn hesitated for a moment but spoke, “I thought you would leaveGuavo, take a break somewhere, considering what you've beenthrough.”

The Jane he knew, after experiencing being betrayed by her fiance,would simply leave with a carefree attitude.

But now, Jane wanted to continue staying in Guavo.

Was it because she still couldn't forget Patrick?

Jane's breath caught, and after a moment, she said, "After all, OldPansy is still lying in the hospital. I bear some responsibility for whathappened to him. I can't act like nothing happened and just leave.”Osborn's eyes subtly dimmed, nodding faintly. "Don’t worry; Old Pansywill be fine."

Was Jane insisting on staying just because of Old Pansy?

The two drove in silence. Osborn took Jane to Shuiyue New City."Jane, is this the place?" Osborn stopped the car, turning to ask.

Jane snapped back, "Yes, Osborn, wait for me."

Jane opened the gate, and the house was silent.

At this moment, Patrick should still be in the hospital.

Walking up to the second floor, where her room was, Jane felt a bitdizzy.

Even though she didn't stay here last night, it felt like a world away.She had lived here for over a month, leaving many unforgettable andbeautiful memories.

Now, she was leaving.

Jane thought she would leave calmly and carefree, but now, her heartfelt suffocated.

Every little moment spent with Patrick in this place rushed into her minduncontrollably.

The scenes were vivid, as if they happened just yesterday.

Patrick was the first man to make Jane's heart flutter.

For him, Jane genuinely gave her heart, truly wanting to hold handswith him and grow old together, spending a lifetime together.Unfortunately, she was too naive, truly wasting her sincere feelings.Patrick already had Candy, and now, he was probably enjoying aromantic time with her.

Why torture herself with these memories?

Regaining her focus, Jane quickly packed her things and put them intoher suitcase.

Holding the suitcase, she hurried downstairs. In the living room, just asshe was about to leave, the faint sound of keys unlocking the doorreached her ears.

Jane instinctively halted her steps.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Patrick had returned?
