Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Seeing her like this, Patrick’s eyes dimmed slightly, and his thin lips lifted. “You misunderstood.”

Patrick spoke in a calm tone, “I just wanted to wipe off the rice grain at the corner of your mouth.”

What?

Jane was stunned, subconsciously raising her hand to touch her mouth, indeed finding a grain of rice.

So… she misunderstood him?

A blush immediately spread across Jane’s face.

She quickly coughed, changing the subject, “I’m going to sleep.”

As she spoke, Jane quickly lay down, turned around, facing away from Patrick, and covered her head with the blanket.

Just as she was about to sleep peacefully, a pair of well-defined large hands climbed up her waist from behind, tightly embracing her.

She was pulled into an immensely warm embrace.

“What are you doing?” Jane’s body stiffened, and she raised her hand to resist.

From behind, Patrick’s tired and hoarse voice came, “Don’t move. I’m tired too. Can I borrow your bed for a while? I haven’t slept for two days and nights while taking care of you.”

Hearing this, Jane subconsciously turned around.

Facing each other, the two breathed together, and the atmosphere at the moment carried a hint of ambiguity and romance.

Jane looked at his unparalleled handsome face. His eyes did have some dark circles, which she hadn’t noticed before.

Indeed, for these two days when she was unconscious, Patrick had been by her side day and night, taking care of her.

He said that much; if Jane kicked him off the bed, it would really make her seem heartless.

After thinking for a moment, Jane said in a deep voice, “Okay, but you’re not allowed to move!”

“Okay,” Patrick readily agreed.

His voice gradually faded, and soon, his breathing became even.

Asleep already?

Jane was stunned. She was a bit sleepy initially, but lying in his arms with his warm chest, she suddenly felt wide awake.

Jane carefully examined Patrick’s handsome face. When he was awake, he always wore a cold expression with his icy eyes, giving off a distant and forbidding aura, keeping strangers at bay.

Now, in his deep sleep, his face was peaceful, carrying a hint of fatigue, but he remained extraordinarily handsome.

Almost absent-mindedly, Jane raised her hand to scratch the few strands of loose hair on his forehead. Her gaze slowly moved down to his thin lips.

Thinking of the scenes when the two of them kissed, it made her blush.

Jane tightened her throat and quickly closed her eyes.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

If she continued looking, she would commit a crime!

Stop, stop!

Jane took a deep breath, suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her heart, and quickly closed her eyes to sleep.

In the following days, Jane rested and recovered in the hospital.

Patrick was more dedicated than a 24-hour nurse, staying by her side and taking care of her every move.

He also brought all the company matters to the hospital for handling.

During this time, there was still no news of Freda.

Even Anthony couldn’t find any trace of her.

No one knew where this crazy woman had hidden.

Seeing Jane frowning, Patrick sat down beside her, turning his head to look at her. “What are you thinking?”

“Oh, nothing.” Jane came back to her senses. “Have you found Freda yet?”

“No news for now,” Patrick said in a deep voice.

He reached out and rubbed Jane’s hair, whispering in her ear, “Don’t worry; I will protect you. I won’t let you suffer any harm again!”

His low and pleasant voice, like the cello playing, but with incomparable firmness, made Jane’s heart flooded with a kind of inexplicable moving and warmth.

She looked up into Patrick’s deep eyes. “Thank you, Patrick.”

“Protecting the woman I love is something I should do,” Patrick said earnestly, his eyes shining.

The woman I love…

Jane blushed, changing the subject, “Can I be discharged from the hospital now?”

After Patrick’s careful care over the past few days, Jane had regained her vitality.

She was eager to leave the hospital.

In fact, she felt perfectly fine, but Patrick was overly concerned, insisting she stay in the hospital.

Patrick looked at her and chuckled, “The doctor said you can be discharged tomorrow.”

“Great!” Jane exclaimed.

Finally, she could leave this hospital room!

The next day, the weather was a bit gloomy.

Jane sat on the bed, watching Patrick pack her things. She munched on an apple and sighed, “Finally, I can be discharged. It’s great! Thanks for taking care of me during this time.”

Patrick’s hands paused as he turned around. His deep gaze fell on Jane, and he spoke in a low voice, “How do you plan to thank me?”

Jane retorted, “How do you want me to thank you?”

Patrick finished packing, stood up crisply, narrowed his cold eyes, and said with a hint of teasing, “I don’t mind if you repay me with your body.”

Jane: …

Can’t we have a pleasant conversation?

“Forget it, I choose to owe you and pay you back later,” Jane stood up and left with Patrick.

Just as they reached the hospital gate, Jane’s phone rang.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Nana.

Jane answered the phone, “Nana, is there something you need?”

“I just booked my ticket; I’ll arrive in Guavo tomorrow,” Nana’s voice came from the other end.

Jane nodded, “What time will you arrive? I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow night at eight,” Nana replied.

Jane raised her lips, “See you tomorrow!”

After hanging up the phone, Patrick glanced at her, “Nana is coming over tomorrow?”

“Yes,” Jane responded casually.

Patrick helped Jane into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and asked, “Is there something going on at your studio?”

“Not really. Next month is the Paris Fashion Design Competition, and she’s coming to discuss it with me,” Jane answered truthfully.

Patrick smirked, “Are you going to compete in Paris next month?”

“Why not?” Jane leaned back against the seat, asking back.

Sunsan Studio had already challenged them, Leo, for a showdown next month. Was she going to shrink back?

Jane was confident. As long as she took action, she would definitely defeat Sunsan without leaving a piece!

“Going to Paris is so far away. Aren’t you going to miss me?” Patrick said in a deep voice.

Jane: …

When will he change this narcissistic habit of his?

“Why would I miss you?” Jane said coldly.

Patrick slightly squinted his eyes, gave her a sidelong glance, then suddenly changed the topic, “Jane, do you have any other aliases that I don’t know about?”

Jane was puzzled, then smiled, “Guess.”

“I’ll wait for you to tell me yourself,” Patrick raised an eyebrow, looking at Jane with a somewhat playful expression.

Jane pursed her lips, “Then wait patiently!”

Patrick chuckled lightly. With Jane saying that, it was equivalent to admitting that she had other aliases he didn’t know about.

Well, this woman always surprises him.

He was looking forward to it…
