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.
