Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“This man is…” Jane furrowed her brows, a faint guess forming in her mind.

Anthony reached out, pointing at the screen, his expression calm as he spoke, “It’s Antony. This photo was taken in Australia.”

“Just as I thought,” Jane squinted her eyes.

Her previous speculation was entirely accurate.

It meant that Candice had known Antony long before.

Not just from the time when she leaked information to BPL to frame her.

“Have you found out what kind of relationship exists between the two of them?” Jane inquired.

Anthony shook his head, “Not yet.”

Jane smirked, “Continue to look into it for me.”

“No problem, Ada!” Anthony readily agreed.

Suddenly, he remembered something, “By the way, Ada, this time you were injured because Freda instructed Adonis.”

“I know, Patrick just told me,” Jane nodded, “I never expected this woman to hate me so much, wishing for my death.”

If she had known Freda was this crazy, she wouldn’t have let Calvin take her away back then.

“This can’t be blamed on Calvin. Freda secretly escaped from the Huggins family,” Anthony seemed to understand Jane’s thoughts and explained.

Jane pursed her lips, “Have you found out where Freda is now?”

Anthony’s expression turned cold, “Ada, after you had the accident, I checked Freda’s movements during these two days while you were unconscious. Strangely, she disappeared.”

“Disappeared? Can someone vanish into thin air?” Jane frowned.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Anthony shrug his shoulders, “Indeed, I can’t find her.”

Jane said, “…”

After three seconds of silence, she found her voice again, “Didn’t she return to the Huggins family?”

“No,” Anthony smirked, his face pensive, “That’s what’s strange. The Huggins family sent many to find Freda, Mr. Pansy is also looking, and I’m looking, but there’s no clue.”

“Guilty conscience hiding,” Jane flipped through the information and photos in her hands.

She discovered that it wasn’t just a simple hiding; the entire city, all surveillance footage, including blind spots, had no trace of Freda except for three days ago when Adonis had an incident.

Since then, Freda’s figure hadn’t been captured.

“She hasn’t left our city, and there’s no record of her entering or leaving. The last place she appeared was in the nightclub under Adonis’s name, and it’s as if she never left.”

Anthony told Jane, “The Huggins family’s people have already checked that nightclub but found no sign of Freda.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Don’t bother about her.”

Jane was well aware of Freda’s madness. Now, hiding and waiting for an opportunity to strike back, she probably didn’t even want to return to the Huggins family.

After all, if she were caught by the Huggins family, they would undoubtedly be on high alert and not let her escape again.

“When she feels the time is right, she will naturally appear,” Jane organized the information and put it aside, lying down.

Her body hadn’t fully recovered, and she was a bit tired now.

“Then you rest and recover; I’ll continue investigating the matter.”

Anthony sighed, stood up to leave, but suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned around and looked at her meaningfully.

Jane immediately understood what he meant.

The implication was about her and Patrick.

With a quick turn, Jane pretended not to have seen it.

And then, there was the sound of the door opening and closing. Jane, with her eyes closed, could sense a large silhouette standing in front of her.

She didn’t open her eyes but calmly said, “Leave; I need to rest.”

“Hungry?” Patrick’s thin lips lifted slightly, his clear voice taking on a touch of tenderness, always incredibly pleasant. “Anthony’s soup wasn’t enough just now, right?”

Jane wanted to shake her head, but her stomach chose this moment to embarrassingly growl.

Unable to feign sleep any longer, Jane opened her clear eyes, sat up from the bed, and curved her lips, “I want to eat mirror cake.”

“I’ll buy it for you,” Patrick looked down at her from a high vantage point, his tone heavy.

“Okay,” Jane nodded.

Patrick suddenly leaned down, planting a gentle kiss on Jane’s forehead, “Behave and wait for me, alright?”

Jane: …

This man!

Could he not always tease her like this?

“Got it, hurry up and go!” Jane gave him an unkind look as Patrick left, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, ever since she woke up, facing him always brought an inexplicable sense of awkwardness.

Perhaps it was because that day Patrick had descended from the sky to save her, and her feelings for him surged like a tide, impossible to suppress.

Jane didn’t want to admit it, but she was becoming more and more dependent on this man…

While Jane was lost in thought, she didn’t notice another person in the ward.

Not until he walked up to her and stopped.

“Patrick, you’re back so soon…” Jane was a little surprised, thinking it was Patrick returning, pondering that he had only been gone for a few minutes.

But when she raised her head, she found Osborn standing in front of her.

Even though the Osborn before her was fully armed with sunglasses and a mask, she still recognized him at a glance.

“Jane, are you okay?” Osborn asked with concern.

Jane smiled, “I’m fine.”

“Sorry, Jane, it’s all my fault…” Osborn’s tone was full of guilt.

After all, Freda had become so crazy because of him.

If it weren’t for him, Freda wouldn’t have attacked Jane so many times.

“It’s not your fault. By the way, you need to be careful too,” Jane said in a low voice.

Who knew what crazy things Freda might do? If Freda knew Osborn still cared about her, she might harm him as well. The consequences would be unthinkable.

Upon hearing her words, Osborn’s heart warmed, “Jane, thank you for caring about me…”

Before Osborn could finish his words, at that moment, the door of the ward creaked open.

Patrick had returned.

In the moment he saw Osborn, his originally clear and sunny face suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.

He had only left for a dozen minutes, and Osborn appeared!

Patrick placed the mirror cake on the small table next to Jane’s bed, and his eyebrows furrowed. The deep, black eyes were filled with coldness.

“Osborn, I hope you stay away from my fiancée. If it weren’t for you, Jane wouldn’t have been seriously injured and hospitalized.”

Although Patrick had suppressed the matter between Jane and Adonis, keeping it from spreading to the internet, people in their circle mostly knew about it.

Osborn should be well aware that Freda was behind Jane’s recent incident.

Freda, out of jealousy for Jane, had repeatedly harmed her.

Osborn was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth to say something, but Jane interrupted him, “Osborn, you can go back. Take care of yourself.”
