Unexpected Fiancée

Chapter 180: I Will Definitely Save Jane

"Call the police! Hurry, call the police!" Nana was in a frantic state, taking a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself.

Her fingers trembled as she dialed the emergency number.

Several men nearby shook their heads, expressing regret, "Calling the police won't help. In an avalanche, chances are the person is already gone..."

"No, that won't happen! Don't say such things! Jane will be fine!" Nana shouted, startling everyone present.

Megan approached, patting Nana's shoulder and comforting her, "Miss Nana, try to stay calm. Miracles can happen.”

Nana nodded and contacted the search and rescue team, "Hurry, my friend is trapped in the mountains, and there's been an avalanche!" The rescue team arrived quickly, but the snowstorm was too severe. The team leader, looking at the raging snowstorm, spoke with a stern expression to Nana, "I'm sorry, Miss Nana. In this harsh weather, it's not conducive to carrying out a rescue operation.”

"But my friend is in danger; I must find her as soon as possible!" Nana said anxiously.

"Miss Nana, I understand your feelings, but I must ensure the safety of my team members," the team leader said solemnly. “The blizzard hasn't stopped, and a second avalanche could happen at any time."

Nana understood the logic, but how could she stand by and watch Jane in danger, not knowing whether she was alive or dead?

Nana, frantic with worry, thought for a moment and dialed Patrick's number.

Although Jane had once said she didn't want Patrick to know about this, not wanting him to feel indebted to her, Nana couldn't consider so many details in this life-and-death situation.

Pansy Group building, CEO's office.

Patrick was deeply engrossed in his work when Candice knocked on the door. "Paddy."

"Come in," Patrick's voice was cold and composed.

Candice entered, holding a document. She spoke softly, "Paddy, there are some parts of this I don't understand. Could you teach me?" Patrick glanced at the document in Candice’s hands. "Candy, this document is too specialized. Since you're new, start with some simpler materials.”

Biting her lip, Candice said, "I want to learn more as soon as possible." "Alright, I'll have Morton arrange for a senior employee to guide you. You can ask her if you have any questions in the future." Patrick thought for a moment and spoke in his usual indifferent tone.

"Oh," Candice felt somewhat disappointed. She had hoped to use this opportunity to get closer to Patrick, but he dismissed her with a few words.

Seeing Patrick busy, Candice whispered, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back and not disturb you, Paddy."

"Okay," Patrick uttered a monosyllabic response.

Candice turned to leave, just reaching the door, when suddenly she heard Patrick's magnetic voice, "Candy."

Her heart skipped a beat, and Candice stopped in her tracks.

Turning around, she looked at Patrick's incredibly handsome face, feeling a flutter of excitement.

Candice's eyes betrayed a hint of admiration. "Paddy, is there anything else?"

Patrick stood up, lips curving as he said, "I've arranged for someone to find you a new apartment. After work, I'll have them take you there. See if it meets your satisfaction.”

Joy silently spread through every cell of Candice.

The reality was before her-Patrick did have feelings for her.

At least, he cared about her; he had her in his thoughts.

Thinking this, Candice grabbed Patrick's arm, her tone carrying a hint of shyness. "Paddy, you're so good to me."

Before she could finish her sentence, Patrick's phone rudely interrupted.

Patrick withdrew his arm indifferently, taking out his phone to check.

It was an unknown number, and Patrick thought it might be some annoying telemarketing call, so he didn't answer.

However, the caller persisted, calling him repeatedly as if they wouldn't give up unless he answered.

After ringing a few times, Patrick furrowed his brow slightly. Finally, he reluctantly pressed the answer button.

A somewhat familiar voice came through the phone with a hint of panic, "Is this Patrick?"

“It's me," Patrick replied in a deep voice.

Nana's voice, tinged with a crying tone, came through the phone, "I'm Nana. Jane's in trouble!"

"What?!" Patrick's heart skipped a beat. "What happened to Jane?" "Jane... she encountered an avalanche!" Nana shouted.

Thinking of Jane's current unknown fate, unable to be rescued due to the harsh conditions, Nana's emotions were on the verge of collapsing. Avalanche?

Hearing this word, nervousness and concern churned in Patrick's ink- black eyes. A series of questions spilled out, "An avalanche? What happened? Where are you? Where's Jane?"

Where could Jane have gone?

How did she end up facing an avalanche?

Nana took a few deep breaths to somewhat calm herself before explaining, "Jane came to Changbai Mountain with me to find Dr. Newton for Old Pansy's treatment. She went deep into the mountains alone to find Dr. Newton, but..."

"But what?" Patrick pressed urgently.

"But the conditions there are harsh. Shortly after Jane entered the mountains, a snowstorm began. This morning, I heard that an avalanche happened in the mountains. I can't reach Jane, and the place where the avalanche occurred is precisely on Jane's path to find Dr. Newton.

She must be in trouble; otherwise, there would be no complete silence.”

Patrick's fingers holding the phone tightened gradually.

In order to find Dr. Newton for her grandfather, Jane had gone so far to Changbai Mountain, entered the deep mountains alone, and encountered an avalanche!

Why was she so foolish?

Thinking back to the time when Jane went to the hospital to visit her grandfather and was ruthlessly driven away by him, Patrick's heart felt like it was being torn apart by strong hands, incredibly uncomfortable. “I'm coming with people right away," Patrick said after a few seconds of contemplation. "Nana, listen to me. I'll immediately contact the local search and rescue team. You go into the mountains with the rescue team to find Jane, and I'll meet up with you after I arrive."

“I've already contacted the rescue team, but the blizzard hasn't stopped, and the conditions are too harsh. The rescue team can't go in," Nana said helplessly.

"Make them find a way!" Patrick's handsome face turned cold, his tone uncompromising.

Nana nodded. "I'll try to persuade them again."

Pausing for a moment, Nana raised her voice, "Patrick, you have to save Jane. You must save her!"

“I will," Patrick declared without hesitation.
