Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Reunion with Candy

Jane pulled her arm away, giving Melissa a cold look. "Melissa, quit your shrewish act! I didn't come here to argue with you today. I just want 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 about getting involved with Patrick again! You're not welcome here, so leave quickly!"

"Please, both of you, move aside!" Jane just wanted to see Old Pansy as 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 hurriedly caught up and sternly instructed the bodyguards, "What are you standing there for? Why haven't you kicked her out yet? She's not allowed 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 want to harm Grandpa?" Melissa, seeing Jane standing firm, shouted in frustration.

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

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

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

Seeing Patrick, Melissa, the troublemaker, quickly played the victim, pointing at Jane and angrily declaring, "Cousin, this woman Jane is malicious. Yesterday, she caused Grandpa to have a heart attack and put 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 any sleep. When he heard the faint sounds of arguing outside, he opened the door to see what was happening, only to unexpectedly find Jane's lively figure.

A complex expression flickered in Patrick's eyes. Thinking that Grandpa ended up in this condition because of Jane, lying in bed with an uncertain 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 was filled with fatigue, making her heart ache.

She thought she could face Patrick calmly, but at this moment, her heart 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 suddenly saw a man hurrying toward Jane.

It was Osborn.

"Jane, are you okay?" Osborn had been waiting for Jane at the hospital entrance for a long time and came to find her when she didn't show up.

Jane hesitated for a moment, looked back at Osborn, and smiled, "I'm fine."

"Wow, Jane, I really underestimated you." Beatrice's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "Just got dumped by Patrick over there, and now you're getting 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. Do you 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 so difficult?

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