Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 187: Complicated Love Quadrangle

This punch came too suddenly, catching everyone off guard, including Patrick.

Jane only used about thirty percent of her strength, yet Candice still trembled in pain, unable to suppress a cry, "Ah!"

"Woken up, haven't we?" Jane clapped her hands and stood up.

Candice's face alternated between pale and flushed. She glared at Jane fiercely, "Jane, what are you doing, hitting me?"

Looking down at Candice from her superior position, Jane sarcastically remarked, "Candice, weren't you just unconscious? How do you know I hit you?"

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that a person who is unconscious cannot feel pain.

Candice took a punch, causing such a commotion. It could only mean she wasn't really unconscious.

Seeing Patrick's gaze turning somewhat scrutinizing, Candice quickly spoke with a look of grievance, "Paddy, did I faint just now? I suddenly lost consciousness, didn't know anything. Then, when I woke up, Miss North hit me, it hurts so much!

Why would Miss North treat me like this? I've been with you, enduring hunger and cold, almost unable to go on. We finally rescued Miss North, and this is how she treats me?"

Patrick was momentarily speechless. Candice had indeed been by his side, searching for Jane together.

He hadn't expected that Jane's idea of treatment involved punching Candice.

Seeing Candice's pitiful appearance, Jane couldn't help but retort, "Miss Candice, you're not being fair. When did I hit you? I was helping you recover. Look at you now, full of vitality. You followed Patrick to save me, and now I've saved you once, so we're even."

After saying that, Jane ignored Candice, grabbed Nana's hand, and said, "Nana, let's go find Uncle Newton."

Nana was surprised, "Don't you want to rest first? After all, you were trapped in the cave for two whole days, and you look exhausted."

Jane shook her head, "I want to find Uncle Newton as soon as possible."

Regardless, Jane wanted to find Uncle Newton quickly, to seek his help for Old Pansy.

"Jane, I'll go with you," Patrick suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Before Jane could respond, Candice grabbed Patrick and, clutching her chest, said, "Paddy, don't go. I'm in pain, Jane hit me so hard."

Patrick frowned, "Candy, let Morton take you back first. When I find Dr. Newton, I'll come to you."

Seeing Patrick insisting on going with Jane to find Dr. Newton, Candice's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment.

She held onto Patrick tightly, tears streaming down, looking pitiful, "Paddy, you once said you would protect me for a lifetime, that you'd love me forever. Now, you can just abandon me like this..."

These words fell into Jane's ears, sounding so grating.

Patrick had said similar things to her.

"Jane, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll protect you."

"Jane, I love you, I'll make you the happiest woman in the world."

But he had said the same to Candy.

Taking a deep breath, Jane pushed away all the discomfort in her heart, glanced at Nana, and said, "Nana, let's go!"

Jane pulled Nana away, leaving.

Patrick, his gaze fixed on Jane's indifferent departing figure, absentmindedly told Candice, "Candy, be obedient, go back with Morton first."

"Paddy!" Candice clenched her fists tightly.

Jane, again, because of Jane!

Why?

Why did Patrick care so much about Jane?

In the envious gaze of Candice, Patrick caught up with Jane and spoke in a deep voice, "Jane, let's go find Dr. Newton together."

Jane paused and turned to look at him, her expression indifferent. "No need. Uncle Newton doesn't like meeting strangers. You better go accompany your Candy."

"Jane, about me and Candy..." Patrick began to explain, but suddenly a urgent voice came from a distance.

"Jane!"

This voice...

Jane followed the sound and saw Osborn rushing toward her hurriedly.

"Osborn, why are you here?" Jane exclaimed.

Osborn quickly approached, "I saw the news and found out you were in trouble. Why are you so foolish? Why didn't you tell me?"

When Jane suddenly left with Nana earlier, Osborn didn't know where Jane had gone. Later, seeing the news, he found out about Jane's situation and rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, he was a step late, and Patrick had already rescued Jane.

Jane thought for a moment and smiled, "I didn't want to worry you, so I didn't tell you."

After a pause, Jane added, "Osborn, I'm fine. Now let's go find Dr. Newton. You go back first."

Osborn's gaze focused tightly on Jane's face. "Jane, I'll go with you."

After a moment of contemplation, Jane nodded. "Let's go!"

Patrick's handsome face suddenly darkened.

Earlier, Jane refused his company, citing Dr. Newton's dislike of strangers. But now, she allowed Osborn to accompany her?

Implying that he was a stranger, and Osborn was not?

Jane, Nana, and Osborn walked towards Mont Brush together.

"Jane, why are you so foolish, coming here alone? Why didn't you tell me, let me accompany you?" The thought of Jane facing an avalanche and almost losing her life made Osborn shudder.

Before Jane could respond, Nana frowned and said, "Osborn, Jane has just escaped danger. Can you let her be quiet?"

"I'm sorry, Jane." Osborn was startled and fell silent.

Nana, still concerned about the recent events, said, "Jane, you should have let Patrick go with you."

"Why?" Jane pursed her lips.

Nana sighed lightly, "Can't you see how much he cares about you? Also, everyone knows about Candice's feelings for him. Aren't you pushing Patrick into her arms by doing this?"

Jane understood the logic, but every time she thought about what Candice had said, about Patrick's nervousness around her, her heart felt constricted.

"Don't push Patrick away just because of a momentary anger," Nana said with some frustration.

Osborn, no longer composed, interjected, "Nana, what are you saying? Patrick likes Candy. Don't meddle in."

Nana knew that Osborn liked Jane, but Jane liked Patrick, and now there was also Candice... All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Faced with this complex love square, Nana could only shake her head helplessly.
