Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“What’s going on?” Patrick, dressed in casual home clothes, needed to handle things quickly.

She also needed to confirm whether April was inside the room or not. Jane, on the other hand, disregarded everything and put on her own clothes.

“I don’t know what’s happening either. I just saw the reports and learned that it seems some netizens are attacking April, causing her to feel depressed.”

As Patrick and Jane continued talking and getting dressed, Jane made several phone calls to April.

But without exception, April didn’t answer any of the calls, which further worried Jane.

The two of them quickly arrived at the scene by car and asked the other people there. Sure enough, April, unable to bear the stimulation from netizens, was preparing to jump off the building.

“Hello, I’m April’s friend. Can I go up and try to persuade her? I’ve already understood what happened. It all started with these netizens.”

“I’m one of the supporters of those netizens, but this has nothing to do with April. Perhaps if I can help her resolve her concerns, she’ll come down.”

Upon hearing what Jane said, the staff members felt that this possibility was quite likely. Many people, when contemplating suicide, couldn’t find a way out due to a single issue that troubled them.

If they could help alleviate April’s concerns, perhaps the situation would improve. The staff led Patrick and Jane to the rooftop together.

April was sitting there, her expression heavy.

Jane could tell that April was in a very bad state of mind; she was sitting there, crying.

“What are you doing, April? Come down quickly. I was wondering why I couldn’t find you at home, and here you are. Come home quickly!”

When April saw Jane, her mood became even more distressed. Jane had rushed up, and her face was very pale.

Jane hadn’t fully recovered from her condition, and now she looked even more pitiful. April cried and spoke to Jane.

“I am a jinx. I didn’t know I was a jinx. I shouldn’t have stayed by your side. If I had known this would be the outcome, you wouldn’t have lost your child.”

“Now that I know my identity, I can’t delay you any longer. I can’t bring bad luck to my other friends either. I can only find release through death.”

April’s words furrowed Jane’s brow.

She didn’t believe in these feudal superstitions, especially since without April, she herself couldn’t escape from her state of mental oppression.

“What nonsense are you talking about? We’ve been sisters for so many years. How can I not know who you are? Don’t pay attention to those gossipers who call you a jinx. They’re all jinxes themselves!”

“Besides, we don’t believe in these things at all. Come down quickly, let’s go home together, and don’t forget you still have a child in your belly!”

April’s laughter upon hearing these words was filled with misery. She shook her head, and when Jane tried to approach her, April stopped her.

“Don’t come any closer. I am a jinx, and I want to apologize to you. Everything is because of me, and now I want to atone for it with my own death. I hope you can forgive me.”

April’s expression was filled with sorrow as she said these words. The other staff members slowly approached April from the side.

However, she didn’t dare to act. Jane saw this scene and knew she needed to continue comforting April, giving other staff members the opportunity to create a rescue plan.

“Do you know how much you’ve helped me in the past? Without you, how could I have overcome my difficulties? You say you’re a jinx, but I think you’re a lucky star.”

“If it weren’t for you, how could I have found Patrick again? How could I have found my child? Doesn’t all of this prove that you’re my best friend?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

April hesitated upon hearing these words.

But then she seemed to become more determined, not blaming Jane.

She only blamed herself for her problems. Regardless of the reasons that led to this point, she had reached a dead end.

She felt that jumping would be the end of it all, and her mind would finally relax.

“Don’t say it anymore. You’ve helped me so much. I’ve been reflecting on myself all this time. I feel like I’m a jinx, the source of bad luck!”

“Now these netizens have pushed me to the edge. I want to come down, but there’s no chance. No matter what you say, today I will tell them that I’m not a jinx!”

April’s speech became somewhat incoherent, and her mind was a bit confused.

She would say she’s a jinx one moment, and then she would say she’s not a jinx.

She would say she doesn’t blame Jane, then say she must prove her innocence through death. In short, her nonsensical words worried everyone.

But the staff members were slowly approaching April. When Jane caught April’s attention, the staff members rushed forward and rescued her.

April had a blank stare and a confused state of mind. She didn’t know what she was doing, as if she had fallen into a delusional state like a mentally ill patient.

Jane urgently took April to the hospital.

“We can’t tolerate this Patrick situation anymore. April has already suffered so much. If we continue to endure, who will help April?”

“We need to gather evidence and clarify things for April, just like what we did before.”

Jane couldn’t sit still, looking at April who was receiving treatment inside. She sat there blankly, without any thoughts, like a lifeless body.

Jane felt a great deal of pain. She knew this outcome was caused by these netizens and also by their failure to learn about this news in time.

Since they had now learned about it and April was in this state, they couldn’t remain silent anymore.

“I think I should hold a press conference. I’ll explain this matter myself. You should rest at home and take care of your health. You haven’t fully recovered yet!”

Jane heard Patrick’s words and resolutely shook her head.

If she could still endure this matter and stay at home to recuperate, what could possibly move her?

“No, this is my best friend’s matter, and it involves me too. I can’t just stay like this. I have to step forward.”
