Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Jane tightly held onto the edge of the rooftop, her mind momentarily blank.

“Patrick, you can’t have anything happen to you!” Jane muttered to herself.

Just as she was about to call Morton and ask him to send someone to find Patrick, she suddenly heard a familiar, magnetic voice coming from behind her. “Jane.”

Patrick?

Jane turned around and saw Patrick sitting in his wheelchair.

“Patrick, as long as you’re okay!” Jane rushed towards him.

She knelt down and buried her head in Patrick’s lap.

Patrick reached out and rubbed Jane’s hair while his magnetic voice sounded again. “Silly girl, what did you think happened?”

Jane took a few deep breaths and steadied herself. Suddenly feeling something was off.

When she went up on the rooftop earlier, Patrick wasn’t there at all. In just a few minutes’ time he had suddenly appeared on his wheelchair without anyone else around!

Wasn’t Patrick paralyzed?

How did he do it?

Thinking about this made Jane more suspicious than ever before…

If she guessed correctly then surely Patrick must be pretending!

Jane stood up straight and walked directly towards the rooftop.

“Jane what are you doing?” There was some nervousness in Patrick’s tone,”It’s dangerous there! Come back!”

“The ring that you gave me seemed like it fell off by accident just now so I’m going to look for it.” Jane said while pretending to slip on purpose before shouting loudly,”Ah! Help!”

“Don’t be afraid Jane I’m here!” Seeing that Jane was in danger made Patrick reflexively stand up quickly before rushing over with one step forward then tightly hugging her body into his arms…

He really is pretending!

Anger filled Janes clear eyes when she glared at the man in front of her,”Patrick! You bastard! How dare you deceive me!!”

“I…” In a moment of panic earlier when he worried about Janes safety , he forgot that he had been pretending all along…

But now angry beyond measure, Jane interrupted him directly,”Do you have some kind of mental illness or something?”

She was very angry for no reason why would someone want to deceive her like this?!

“Patrick, you want me feel guilty enough so we can get engaged? Do games where feelings are deceived make sense?” Dark clouds covered Janes pretty face, she hated being deceived most of all things…

“Listen… let me explain…” Knowing that he couldn’t argue with reason, Patrik tried explaining himself but unfortunately, Jane cut him off right away.”You’ve disappointed me too much already, Patrik.”

After speaking, Jane turned around and left…

Patrick regretted deeply, his indifferent eyes mixed with complex emotions as he watched Jane leave, the emotions in his eyes fluctuating.

Back in the hospital room, Jane turned around to look down the empty hallway behind her and found no one there. Her anger doubled instantly – this jerk of a man didn’t even want to come after her! Was he not going to explain anything?

With a cold face, Jane pushed open the door and walked into the room only to see Melissa standing inside. She was stunned for a moment before asking, “Melissa? What are you doing here?”

Melissa retorted irritably when questioned by Jane: “What’s wrong with me being in my cousin’s room? And what about you? What are you doing here so late?”

It was then that Jane realized she had stormed into the wrong room earlier out of anger but she wasn’t going to let Melissa have any satisfaction from it. With her chin held high and voice coldly steady, she said: “I am Patrick’s fiancée. Do I need your interference when I visit him?”

“Fiancée? Haven’t you already broken off your engagement long ago?” Melissa was taken aback by this news.

Jane smiled slightly and replied: “We’re getting engaged again soon. How come you didn’t know?”

Melissa paused for a moment before saying incredulously: “That’s impossible! How could I not have heard anything about it?”

Jane raised an eyebrow just as Patrick walked into the room with measured steps and interrupted them both by saying firmly: “You don’t need to know.”

Looking up at him standing at the doorway of their hospital room, Jane felt relieved that he had finally arrived but also annoyed at how he had kept her waiting earlier.

“Cousin,” Melissa protested immediately upon seeing Patrick walk in.

“Grandpa is still unconscious because of this woman,” pointing at Jane accusingly while speaking angrily towards Patrick himself who seemed impatient with his cousin’s complaints.

“Melissa,” Patrick said impatiently while looking away from her gaze towards where Jane stood nearby him instead; “It’s late now so please go home.”

“I understand.” Feeling Patrick’s icy aura all over his body made Melissa feel resentful as she left after glaring fiercely at Jane on her way out.

As soon as they were alone together again without any interruptions or distractions around them anymore though; Patrick cleared his throat nervously before speaking up once more:

“Jane… I know that right now you’re angry with me but think about it – if I hadn’t done what I did then how much longer would we have had to wait until we could be together?”

“This is your reason for deceiving me like that?” She asked back icily without missing a beat or showing any signs of softening towards him yet despite feeling relieved deep down inside herself too since he’d finally shown up after all those hours apart from each other earlier today when they’d last seen each other briefly outside their respective rooms within this same hospital building complex where they were both staying temporarily due mainly due mostly due primarily because their grandfather was currently hospitalized here under observation following some recent health issues which required medical attention urgently enough such that everyone else involved including themselves couldn’t afford not taking things seriously enough either way regardless whatsoever whatsoever?

Patrick shifted uncomfortably under her gaze before coughing twice lightly while trying hard not show how nervous or guilty he felt inside himself right now too given everything else which has happened between them lately especially since they’d been arguing quite frequently over various issues related mainly around trustworthiness on both sides recently leading up until today itself…

“Well… actually… I wanted tell you myself but also wanted see how would react first if found out through someone else instead…”

Jane’s face darkened and she didn’t say anything, turning around and heading back to her hospital room.

Melissa stormed into her house, fuming with anger as she spoke to Beatrice. “Auntie, Jane is such a slut! She’s trying to seduce our cousin again! She even convinced him to have another engagement ceremony with her!”

“What?” Beatrice was taken aback.

“Auntie, we can’t wait any longer!” Melissa’s eyes flashed with jealousy towards Jane. “If we don’t do something soon, Jane will really get engaged to Patrick and then they’ll get married. Then there won’t be any place for us in the Pansy family.”

Just thinking about how Patrick cared for Jane made Melissa burn with jealousy. Patrick was hers!

Why did that shameless slut Jane deserve his love?

“If we let this woman enter the Pansy family and become the mistress of the house,” Melissa continued incitingly, “we’ll never have a good life again!”

“Don’t worry Melissa,” Beatrice reassured her firmly. “I won’t let that fox spirit into our home.”

Melissa leaned closer to Beatrice and lowered her voice conspiratorially. “Auntie, I think we should follow Uncle Winston’s suggestion. No one found out about what happened before – not even our cousin.”

Beatrice thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

“This time,” Melissa said confidently, “we’ll definitely drive that shameless slut Jane away from here!”

Beatrice nodded once more before turning towards Melissa.

“Melissa,” she said quietly but firmly. “Help me contact Winston.”

“Okay Auntie!” replied Melissa eagerly.

Monica, Freda and Florence had all tried their best against Jane but failed miserably each time.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Now it was up to Melissa herself – this time she would strike hard!

“Just you wait Jane!” thought an angry Melissa as she left the room determinedly behind Beatrice.
