Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 181: Paddy, Let's Go Together

After hanging up the phone, Patrick's handsome face tensed with lines of worry and nervousness.

He found it hard to believe that Jane could be in such a dangerous situation as an avalanche.

How was this possible? Wasn't she supposed to be with Osborn? Why would she suddenly run off to Changbai Mountain? Even if Dr. Newton was really there, why didn't she tell him so he could send people to help?

"Candy, you go back first. I have to leave for a few days," Patrick gathered his thoughts, glanced at Candy still standing beside him, and spoke in a cold tone.

Patrick, nervous like this again... was it because of Jane?!

The smile on Candice's face froze instantly.

She had heard Patrick's conversation with Nana clearly.

Originally, Candice couldn't help feeling good when she heard that Jane was in danger. From what she gathered from the call, Jane had gone to Changbai Mountain alone to find someone to treat Old Pansy, and she encountered an avalanche.

An avalanche! Seriously, that was extremely dangerous.

Maybe by now, Jane had been buried in the snow and turned into a lifeless body.

But as soon as Candice saw how concerned Patrick was for Jane, her mood couldn't get any better.

This scheming Jane must have wanted to find this Dr. Newton to cure Old Pansy, show off in front of Patrick, and try to win him back! Fortunately, fate was on Candice's side, letting Jane run into an avalanche!

Thinking this, Candice quickly grabbed Patrick and pretended to be worried. "Paddy, what's wrong with you?"

"Jane's in danger, and I have to save her,” Patrick said with a firm tone. “I'm going with you!" Candice followed behind Patrick.

Even though Candice believed that Jane was already buried in the snow, what if Patrick did manage to rescue her?

There was no way she would give Jane that chance.

Patrick paused his steps, furrowing his brow. "Candy, it's very dangerous there. Stay behind.”

"But I'm worried about you," Candice persisted, playing the emotional card. "Paddy, did you forget? Back then, we promised to face life and death together. Now, you're going to such a dangerous place alone. How can I feel at ease?"

Mentioning the past stirred an inexplicable emotion in Patrick's heart. He glanced deeply at Candice. "Then come with me, but it's really dangerous there. You must be careful.”

Candice smiled charmingly, linking her arm with Patrick's. "With you protecting me, I'm not afraid of anything!"

“Let's go quickly, then!" Patrick took brisk steps towards the direction of the airport.

While walking, he also informed Morton, instructing him to bring all the Pansy family’s bodyguards to Changbai Mountain to search for Jane. "Paddy, wait for me!" Tang Ruoyin's eyes flashed with a hint of hidden intentions as she quickly caught up.

She had never seen Patrick so nervous for anyone. He had always been aloof and elegant.

But when it came to Jane's situation, Patrick lost his composure. Candice clenched her fists at her sides, silently vowing that unless Jane was already buried in the snow and couldn't come back, she would make sure Jane didn't have an easy time!

No one should think about taking Patrick away from her!

In a hurry, Patrick arrived at the small village at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

"Mr. Pansy, you've finally come!" Nana hurried over to Patrick. Patrick's voice was cold and filled with unprecedented tension and urgency. "What's the situation now? Have you found Jane?"

Nana shook her head with a melancholic expression. "No. We've searched thoroughly, but we haven't found Jane."

Before Patrick arrived, the search and rescue team managed to coordinate a helicopter. Nana and several team members had already flown around the mountains, but to no avail.

It had been a full thirty-six hours since Jane went missing, and Nana's heart remained tightly wound.

She truly couldn't fathom what might have happened to Jane.

"Search again!" Patrick's handsome face turned pale, his voice cold and unyielding, leaving no room for resistance.

He refused to believe that Jane could be in trouble!

They had faced so many perilous situations before — warehouse explosions, plane crashes — and Jane had always come out unscathed. This time would be no different; Jane would surely turn the tables! "Paddy, don't worry too much," Candice gently pulled on Patrick's arm, speaking softly. "Miss North will be fine."

Patrick glanced at the tired-looking Candice. "Candy, are you tired? Rest here while you wait for me.”

"Paddy, where are you going?" Candice asked anxiously, sensing that Patrick might leave her behind.

Patrick's expression tightened, his tone resolute. "I'm going to find Jane."

“I'm going with you!" Candice pleaded with her eyes fixed on Patrick. What she feared most now was Patrick finding Jane alive. If Jane was still alive, seeing Patrick so concerned might rekindle their past feelings.

Candice had worked hard to orchestrate the cancellation of Jane and Patrick's engagement. She couldn't afford to let all her efforts go to waste!

Therefore, she had to stick by Patrick's side at all times. It not only made her appear caring, but also allowed her to adapt to any situation. She couldn't let Jane steal Patrick's heart again!

Thinking this, Candice curved her lips into a smile and sincerely said, "Paddy, I know you're worried about Miss North, and I am equally concerned. Looking at you like this, how can I feel at ease resting alone? Let me go with you. There's strength in numbers, and I might be able to help.”

It was only then that Nana noticed Candice following behind Patrick. Seeing Candice appearing genuinely concerned about Jane, Nana couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

If she hadn't heard all about Candice from Jane before, she might have been fooled by Candice's seemingly sincere act.

It seemed that dealing with Candice wouldn't be easy. No wonder Patrick was blinded by her and chose to be with her instead of Jane on their engagement day.

To think he couldn't see how wonderful Jane was, opting instead for this seemingly pure and innocent flower. It was truly laughable.

But now wasn't the time to think about such matters. The priority was to find Jane quickly.

As long as they found Jane, she would undoubtedly deal with this seemingly innocent flower.

"Hurry up!" Patrick urged, somewhat unsettled.

He couldn't wait any longer; he was eager to find Jane.

"Mr. Pansy, let's go,” Morton had everything prepared and spoke respectfully. "We can depart at any time."
