Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Aunt Flo Pays a Visit

Patrick's handsome face darkened as he observed the scene before him, wondering what Jane was up to. He couldn't fathom why she was engrossed in a conversation with Osborn.

Patrick couldn't make heads or tails of Jane and Osborn's interaction, so he decided to approach them with a cold tone. "Jane, what are you doing?"

Jane hastily pushed Osborn away and turned to face Patrick. She put on a strained smile and replied, "Oh, nothing. I was just asking for his autograph."

"Really?" Patrick scowled and cast a stern gaze at Osborn, making it evident that he didn't buy Jane's explanation.

Osborn returned Patrick's scrutiny with a poker face.

Jane, holding onto Patrick's arm, asserted, "Yes, let's go back now."

Watching Jane and Patrick walk away, Osborn felt frustrated. He couldn't fathom why Jane had chosen Patrick over him.

Osborn wondered if Jane was aware of Patrick's feelings for Candy. After all, Patrick didn't even love Jane, let alone treat her well.

Osborn firmly believed that Jane would eventually realize that he was the one who genuinely loved her and was the perfect match for her.

Jane and Patrick walked back to their booth arm in arm.

"Do you know Osborn?" Patrick's expression darkened as he gazed at Jane.

Jane forced a smile and replied, "Who doesn't know the famous star? Besides, you were the one who introduced him to me."

"Are you sure?" Patrick asked, narrowing his eyes. He'd caught Jane in Osborn's arms outside the bathroom, and it was apparent that she was after more than just an autograph. Patrick was determined to find out what Jane and Osborn had been up to.

Patrick was well aware that Osborn was madly in love with a girl. This girl was not only wealthy but also Osborn's boss. Osborn loved her as much as he loved Candy, and he'd been devoted to her for a long time, making him uninterested in dating anyone else.

Seeing Jane and Patrick near the bathroom had indicated that Jane initiated the closeness between them. Patrick wondered if Melissa's words held any truth – did Jane have a penchant for seducing wealthy men? Still, he didn't think Jane was that type of girl.

"Of course, I nearly got his autograph. He would have agreed to sign for me if you hadn't shown up out of the blue. You must ask him for an autograph for me next time."

Jane felt guilty as she observed Patrick's darkening face. Patrick just glimpsed her, knowing she'd been in Osborn's arms outside the bathroom.

Jane was obviously after more than an autograph, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it. He knew Osborn had his eyes on Candy, but he didn't think Jane was the kind of girl who'd resort to such tactics.

"Of course, I almost got his autograph. He would have agreed to sign for me if you hadn't shown up unexpectedly. You must ask him for an autograph for me next time."

Jane stared guiltily when she saw Patrick's dark expression. Patrick gave her a quick look and remained silent, making the atmosphere between them grow increasingly awkward.

Jane lowered her head and ate in silence, despite the growing discomfort in her stomach. Patrick noticed something was amiss with Jane and inquired, "What's the matter with you?"

Jane, who felt her stomach pain intensify, got up, her face growing paler. "I have a bellyache."

"Let me take you to the hospital. Is it that painful?" Patrick asked, his face displaying concern.

Jane, struggling to bear the stomach discomfort, leaned her palms on the table. She suspected it was her period, given the rising heat sensation in her abdomen. It was indeed her period, but the pain was unlike anything she'd ever experienced.

"I..." Jane began, but she became dizzy and collapsed to the floor.

"Jane, what's wrong?" Patrick's voice quivered. He reached out and held her.

Patrick carried Jane to the sofa and noticed a bloodstain on her dress, which shocked him. He feared she was injured.
