Chapter 188: Have You Met My Parents?

The three of them moved forward, and as the ice and snow had notcompletely melted, the journey was full of bumps and difficulties,especially for Jane.

“If I had known, I should have let Patrick use the helicopter to bring ushere,” Nana complained.

Instead of letting Candice cling to Patrick, it would have been better tohave him bring them to replace Dr. Newton.

After all, the purpose of replaceing Dr. Newton was to save Old Pansy.Patrick had a responsibility to bring them here.

Jane's face stiffened. She looked around with a furrowed brow, “Weshould be close by."

"Are you sure?" Nana questioned, puzzled. "Everywhere is covered insnow, desolate, and it doesn't look like there's any sign of humanactivity.”

"According to what Megan said, it should be around here,” Janepaused her steps.

Osborn, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke in a deep voice,pointing ahead, "Jane, is this the place?"

Following Osborn's indication, not far behind a dense forest, a smallcabin faintly appeared.

Passing through the forest revealed a hidden paradise on the otherside.

“It should be right here!" Jane's tone carried excitement.

Approaching, she knocked on the door, “Is anyone there?"

No response.

"Could we be mistaken? Is this the wrong place?" Nana askedworriedly.

Jane's face darkened, but she persisted in knocking on the door,raising her voice, "Anyone? Uncle Newton, are you in there?"

After a while, the wooden door creaked open, revealing a middle-agedman with graying hair in Jane's line of sight.

Sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a full face of sideburns, vaguelyresembling the image of Uncle Newton in Jane's memory, just mucholder.

It was him!

Truly Uncle Newton!

Old Pansy could be saved!

Jane spoke with some excitement, "Uncle Newton, do you stillrecognize me?"

"Are you Bernice?" Rory Newton squinted in shock, staring closely atJane at the doorway, muttering with an excited expression, "Bernice,Bernice..."

Bernice?

Who was that?

Jane was stunned, "Uncle Newton, don't you recognize me? I'm Jane.""Jane?" Rory snapped back to reality, disappointment flickering in hiseyes. He said lightly, "So, it's you."

"Yes, Uncle Newton, do you remember me? When I was a child andseriously ill, you saved me, and later you taught me medical skills."Jane spoke urgently, fearing that Rory might have forgotten her.

Rory nodded, examining Jane from head to toe. His tone carried a hintof emotion, "You've grown so much. Come in, and let's talk."

Relieved that Rory still recognized her, Jane turned to Nana andOsborn, saying, "Wait for me outside. I know Uncle Newton doesn't likemeeting strangers.”

Entering the small cabin, Rory slammed the door shut with a bang."Take a seat," Rory pointed to a wooden stool in the room. "How didyou know I was here?"

Following his words, Jane sat down and straightforwardly said, "UncleNewton, I came to ask for your help with something.”

"To ask me to treat an illness?" Rory guessed Jane's intention but flatlyrefused, "Go back. I won't leave this place.”

Jane pleaded urgently, “Uncle Newton, I know my request is abrupt, butMr. Pansy's life is at stake, and only you can save him. Can you pleasehelp me?"

"Mr. Pansy? Are you referring to the Mr. Pansy from Pansy Group?"Rory furrowed his brow.

"Yes, Mr. Pansy. He and my grandfather were close friends. UncleNewton, please, for the sake of my grandfather, save Mr. Pansy. Canyou?" Jane grabbed Rory's arm, pleading earnestly.

After all, Old Pansy's illness was also her responsibility. If UncleNewton didn't agree, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.Feeling Jane's warmth on his arm, Rory's thoughts drifted away."Rory, save him, please, save him..."

Back then, Bernice had also held his arm, begging him to save herbeloved.

Looking at the face in front of him, so similar to Bernice's, Rory sighedlightly. After contemplating for a moment, he finally nodded.

"Uncle Newton, you agreed?" Jane felt a wave of relief.

"Yes," Rory replied indifferently.

“Thank you, Uncle Newton." Jane's heart finally let go of a heavyburden.

A smile appeared on her lips. "Can we head to Guavo as soon aspossible?"

Now that Uncle Newton had been found, the sooner they reachedGuavo, the sooner Old Pansy could wake up.

"I'll get ready.” Rory stood up, took a wooden box from inside the room,and slung it over his shoulder.

Jane recognized it as Rory's medical kit.

"Jane, do you remember the things from the past?" Rory suddenlyspoke.

Things from the past... Did he mean the events before that severeillness?

Jane's eyes darkened. "Uncle Newton, I don't remember many thingsfrom my childhood. Grandfather said it was the aftermath of that illness.Is that true?"

"Yes," Rory nodded somewhat perfunctorily. "Let's go!"

"Uncle Newton, have you met my parents? What do they look like?"Jane hesitated before asking.

She had asked her grandfather this question before, but he eitherchanged the subject or got angry every time. So, Jane dared not askagain, afraid of hurting her grandfather's feelings.

Perhaps Uncle Newton knew something?

"No, when I visited your home, there were only you and yourgrandfather,” Rory's eyes flickered.

His answer left Jane somewhat disappointed.

Intuition told her that Uncle Newton was hiding something from her.What could it be?

Jane understood Rory's temperament. If he didn't want to say, nomatter how much she asked, it would be useless.

Well, the urgent matter now was to get back to Guavo quickly and letUncle Newton save Old Pansy.

Jane and Rory walked out of the cabin side by side, and Nana andOsborn hurriedly approached.

"This is Uncle Newton." Jane introduced with a smile. "Uncle Newton,these are my friends, Nana and Osborn.”

"Dr. Newton, I've heard a lot about you." Nana and Osborn admiredRory's medical skills.

However, Rory merely gave them a faint glance, showing an indifferentattitude.

Nana and Osborn had heard from Jane that Rory's temperament was abit odd. They exchanged a glance and silently followed behind Jane.Back in the village, as they reached the intersection, a tall figuresuddenly appeared in front of Jane, blocking her way.

Jane furrowed her eyebrows, "Patrick, what are you doing?"

“I've been waiting for you," Patrick said in a deep tone.

"Don't worry, I've found Uncle Newton. He agreed to come back toGuavo with me to save your grandfather,” Jane said calmly.
