Chapter 174: So Foreign

Jane crossed her arms, watching Candice's performance with coldeyes. A mocking smile involuntarily curved her lips.

To be honest, Jane was somewhat surprised.

Candice, whom Patrick had always deeply loved, turned out to be ahypocritical person.

His taste in women was indeed questionable.

Before, Patrick even said she resembled Candy. Where in the world didshe resemble this hypocritical person?

Candice was still making a scene in front of Patrick, wiping tears,"Paddy, I fell so painfully!"

Patrick's eyebrows furrowed, and his cold gaze turned to Jane. "Jane,why did you push Candy?"

She pushed Candy?

When did she ever push Candy?

Patrick, without distinguishing right from wrong, simply concluded thatshe pushed Candy?

Heh.

Looking at the familiar handsome face in front of her, Jane felt that thisman had become so strange at this moment.

Jane took a step forward, her icy gaze fixed on Candice's face. "MissTang, you know very well whether I pushed you or not."

Candice, pretending to be afraid, shrank into Patrick's arms, sniffed,looking wronged. "Miss North, I'm sorry; it's all my fault. I didn't knowyou were in Paddy's office. I didn't mean to disturb you two."

"Candy, it's not your fault." Patrick spoke indifferently. “Your leg isinjured, I'll take you to the hospital.”

Jane sneered, left without looking back.

The glaring scene from a moment ago kept flashing through Jane'smind, and her heart felt a bit painful.

Patrick liked this kind of woman?

Before, she thought of herself as Candy's substitute, but now sherealized how degrading it was to compare herself to such a hypocriticalperson.

However, soon she faintly felt that something was off.

According to Patrick, Candy was strong and kind when they werekidnapped together, even sacrificing herself to save him.

Such a girl should have noble qualities. How could she act like thisnow, showing one face in front and another behind, a nauseating whitelotus?

Jane believed that a person's character was innate, and even ifinfluenced by the environment, it wouldn't change so drastically.

There must be something wrong in this.

But for now, she needed to replace Uncle Newton quickly.

After all, Old Pansy's illness couldn't be delayed any longer.

Jane thought for a moment, then dialed Old North's number.

Since Uncle Newton was brought by Grandpa to treat her illness backthen, maybe Grandpa knew Uncle Newton's whereabouts.

When Old North received Jane's call, he was happily surfing on thebeach.

"Jane, how come you have time to call Grandpa today?" A light andcheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, surprised toreceive a call from his beloved granddaughter.

"Grandpa, there's something I'd like to ask for your help.” Jane clearedher throat and spoke.

"What is it?" Old North asked while stepping on the sand.

"Do you remember when I had a high fever as a child and was in acoma for a long time? I stayed in the hospital for a month with noimprovement. Later, you invited a Chinese doctor, Uncle Newton, whocured me. He stayed at our house for a few months and taught me a lotabout traditional Chinese medicine,” Jane asked.

“I remember,” Old North said thoughtfully.

"Where is Uncle Newton now?" Jane asked eagerly.

"l don't know."

Old North's response disappointed Jane. "Grandpa, please thinkagain."

"What's wrong? Why do you want to replace him in such a hurry?" OldNorth frowned.

Jane explained, "Grandpa, Pansy's illness can only be treated by UncleNewton now, so I need to replace him as soon as possible.”

"Oh, it's for that guy, Patrick, again,” Old North stroked his beard.

He had heard about Old Pansy's heart attack but believed Patrick couldhandle it.

"Grandpa, is there any way to replace Uncle Newton? Do you know wherehe lives?" Jane's tone became urgent.

Old Pansy's illness needed prompt treatment, so she had to replace UncleNewton quickly.

"He should be in the northeast now," Old North thought for a momentand said, "When he left, he mentioned settling in the forests of thenortheast, but I'm not sure. Try having someone look for him."

"Alright, Grandpa, I understand.” Jane nodded and hung up the phone.After hearing Old North's words, Jane suddenly had a clue.

She vaguely remembered that during her illness, Uncle Newton hadtold her many stories about wonders in Changbai Mountain. Heseemed to yearn for a life there.

Jane had a hunch that Uncle Newton might be in the vicinity ofChangbai Mountain.

She decided to go to Changbai Mountain herself.

Jane returned to East Garden, and Nana was waiting for her.

"Jane, are you alright?" Nana got out of the car when she saw Jane. "Iheard from Osborn that you moved to this side."

Jane smiled faintly. "Yes. Is there something you need from me?"Nana joked, "What, can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong?"

Jane opened the door. "Come in, and we can talk inside."

"Well, about the main dress for the next season, I have two cases here.Take a look and see which one is better?" Nana opened her laptop,wanting to show Jane the data.

Jane interrupted her. "Let's not rush with that now. I need to go toChangbai Mountain. We can discuss it when I come back."

"Changbai Mountain?" Nana raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Why areyou going there?"

Jane pursed her lips. "To replace my master. Only he can save Old Pansynow."

Jane briefly explained Uncle Newton's situation to Nana.

Nana sighed. "Jane, are you personally going to Changbai Mountain toreplace Dr. Newton for Patrick?"

For Patrick?

Jane was stunned. "Of course not. Old Pansy is in this state now, and Ifeel responsible. I just hope he can recover, making myself feel better.What does it have to do with Patrick?"

"Alright... then I'll accompany you.” Nana was worried about Jane goingalone into the deep mountains.

Jane shook her head. "No need. You go back to France. Leo Studiorelies on you for its operation.”

"The studio can be managed by the people below.” Nana insisted, “It'sdangerous for you to go to such a place alone.”

"Alright." Jane thought for a moment and didn't refuse. "Book two planetickets now, the sooner, the better.”

"Okay." Nana agreed and opened her phone to book tickets. Suddenly,a few notifications popped up.

"Jane, take a look..." Nana glanced at Jane, a bit worried, as shespoke.
