Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 56: Aunt Flo Pays A Visit

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.

The thought that Jane might be injured alarmed him. He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Evan Stone's number.

"Come to the restaurant in five minutes."

The Stone family had been doctors for generations and had a strong connection with the Pansy family. Evan had taken over his family's hospital at a young age and was highly skilled in medicine.

Evan was enjoying his time at a bar with a female celebrity when Patrick called him.

"What's wrong, Patrick? Are you feeling unwell? Why the rush?"

"Enough with the chit-chat. Just come here."

Patrick impatiently ordered.

"Alright, I'll be there soon."

Evan rushed to the restaurant, thinking something had happened to Patrick.

"Please examine her. She's hurt." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Patrick sighed with relief as soon as he saw Evan walk in. Evan was surprised to see Patrick holding Jane's hand. He wondered when Patrick had started worrying about women.

"So, who is she?" Evan asked, curious.

"Why are you so nervous? Is she Candy?" He teasingly inquired.

"Enough with the nonsense. Just examine her! She's hurt," Patrick said sternly, pointing to the bloodstain on Jane's dress.

"Injured?" Evan felt Jane's pulse and carefully inspected the bloodstain. Then he burst into laughter. "Aunt Flo came for a visit."

"Aunt Flo?" This revelation left Patrick baffled.

With a warm smile, Evan clarified, "Every girl has her period every month."

Patrick finally grasped the situation. "So, why did she pass out?" His concern was evident.

Evan, glancing at the dishes on the table, replied, "She might be dealing with hypoglycemia, possibly due to an irregular diet and exhaustion. Some rest should get her back on her feet."

Patrick nodded regretfully. He shouldn't have made her work overtime.

When Jane regained consciousness, she found herself in Patrick's room at Water Moon Community. Her eyes fluttered open, and she was met with the sight of Patrick's striking face.

"You're awake," he said, gazing at her intently.

Jane rubbed her eyes and inquired, "Weren't we having dinner? What happened to me?"

"You fainted. Well, that…" Patrick appeared a bit sheepish.

"What?" Jane furrowed her brows as she recollected the events leading to her passing out. She remembered working overtime at Patrick's request, their dinner at the restaurant where she met Osborn, and then experiencing stomach pain.

Indeed, the stomachache she'd had was related to her monthly period.

Glancing down, Jane noticed that her dress had been changed. Had Patrick taken care of that for her?
