Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 174: So Foreign

Chapter 174: So Foreign

Jane crossed her arms, watching Candice's performance with cold eyes. 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 a hypocritical person.

His taste in women was indeed questionable.

Before, Patrick even said she resembled Candy. Where in the world did she 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 that she pushed Candy?

Heh.

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

Jane took a step forward, her icy gaze fixed on Candice's face. "Miss Tang, 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 know you were in Paddy's office. I didn't mean to disturb you two."

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

Jane sneered, left without looking back.

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

Patrick liked this kind of woman?

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

However, soon she faintly felt that something was off.

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

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

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

There must be something wrong in this.

But for now, she needed to find 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 back then, maybe Grandpa knew Uncle Newton's whereabouts.

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

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

"Grandpa, there's something I'd like to ask for your help." Jane cleared her 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 a coma for a long time? I stayed in the hospital for a month with no improvement. Later, you invited a Chinese doctor, Uncle Newton, who cured me. He stayed at our house for a few months and taught me a lot about traditional Chinese medicine," Jane asked.

"I remember," Old North said thoughtfully.

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

"I don't know."

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

"What's wrong? Why do you want to find him in such a hurry?" Old North frowned.

Jane explained, "Grandpa, Pansy's illness can only be treated by Uncle Newton now, so I need to find him as soon as possible." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"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 could handle it.

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

Old Pansy's illness needed prompt treatment, so she had to find Uncle Newton quickly.

"He should be in the northeast now," Old North thought for a moment and said, "When he left, he mentioned settling in the forests of the northeast, 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 had told her many stories about wonders in Changbai Mountain. He seemed to yearn for a life there.

Jane had a hunch that Uncle Newton might be in the vicinity of Changbai 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. "I heard 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 to Changbai Mountain. We can discuss it when I come back."

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

Jane pursed her lips. "To find my master. Only he can save Old Pansy now."

Jane briefly explained Uncle Newton's situation to Nana.

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

For Patrick?

Jane was stunned. "Of course not. Old Pansy is in this state now, and I feel 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 going alone into the deep mountains.

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

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

"Alright." Jane thought for a moment and didn't refuse. "Book two plane tickets 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 she spoke.
