If it weren’t for the police notifying them this time, they wouldn’t have known that Kim had also boarded the plane with Maria.
Kim hadn’t been home for days, and they had been searching for him for a while. They never expected him to be with Maria!
They arrived at the beach, looking anxious and searching everywhere, but still couldn’t find any trace of Kim.
Suddenly, Diana turned around and saw Jane running towards them.
She stared at her in surprise. They had seen Jane’s photos online before because she was Maria’s boss. That was why she paid a little more attention to her.
When Jane also arrived, Diana hurriedly caught up with her.
“Stop! Stop!”
Diana kept calling out as she chased after Jane. After a while, Jane realized someone was calling her.
“Who are you?”
She turned around and saw an unfamiliar auntie.
Although it was their first meeting, Jane felt somewhat familiar with her.
“I’m Kim’s mother!”
Diana’s tone wasn’t very good which made Jane even more dissatisfied. She had heard about Diana from Maria before today; now seeing her in person left an even worse impression on her.
“Do you have any business with me?”
Out of politeness, Jane still maintained a calm attitude but kept looking towards the sea worrying about Maria in her heart.
Diana was unhappy that she was being ignored like this right in front of herself.
“You’re Maria’s boss? You let my son board that plane?”
Jane frowned, “When did I let your son board?”
“You’re still trying to deny it!”
Diana suddenly became angry; gone were the days when she used to be dignified and graceful.
“If it weren’t for you, my son wouldn’t have ended up on that crashed airplane list.”
Jane raised an eyebrow; surprised that Kim was also on that plane?
“Don’t play dumb with me! My son hasn’t been home these past few days so he must be together with that woman somewhere – you’ve hidden them away haven’t you?”
Diana also knew that Jane was Patrick’s wife. It wasn’t easy to hide two people for Patrick.
“I really didn’t know about this, but Kim is in his twenties, and it’s normal for him not to come home, isn’t it?” Jane closed her eyes. Maria was her employee, and she had asked for Jane’s help. Kim stayed behind to accompany Maria.
Everyone was at fault in this matter, but Diana immediately blamed Jane for it, which anyone would find intolerable.
“This is our family matter, it has nothing to do with you,” Diana retorted. Her son’s life was uncertain, and she couldn’t sit still.
“If it wasn’t for you hiding my son, how could he have ended up on that passenger list?” Diana confronted Jane aggressively, causing frustration.
“Please watch your words, madam. Your son is an adult, and where he goes is his own decision. What power do I have to hide a grown person?” Jane directly countered, feeling guilty about Maria.
As Maria was her employee, Jane took responsibility for her. But Kim had no relation to Jane.
“You… you made my son’s life uncertain, and now you refuse to admit it. How can there be someone like you!” Diana was furious and started arguing with Jane.
“Madam, please understand clearly. I didn’t make your son board that plane. Don’t wrongfully accuse me,” Jane replied, not backing down. She was already troubled by Maria’s situation, and Diana’s sudden interference only made her more agitated.
“What I’m saying is true. Maria is an unreliable woman. I really don’t understand what my son saw in her,” Diana spoke directly, criticizing Maria in front of Jane, crossing her boundaries.
“What’s the point of saying all this here? Maria’s fate is just as uncertain as your son’s. Instead of blaming others, aren’t you afraid that someone will find your son?” Jane retaliated, and Diana became even more frantic.
“I don’t need you to educate me. Don’t talk to me about nonsense. Maria is unreliable, and you, as a boss, are even more unreliable. I really need to make my son reconsider,” Diana said.
“You!” Jane was infuriated by these words. The achievements of the company in the past few days were evident, but in Diana’s eyes, they were belittled.
“What? Is what I said not true? You… hey!” Diana wanted to continue speaking, but unexpectedly, Jane suddenly lowered her head. Just as Diana thought Jane was about to apologize, she fainted on the spot.
Diana was stunned. Seeing Jane about to fall towards her side, she was about to go and support her, but someone else reached her first.
That person held Jane by the waist, and with a swift turn, she fell into his arms.
The person was Patrick!
Patrick noticed from a distance that Jane and Diana were arguing. When he was rushing over, he saw Jane’s body swaying, and he had a bad feeling about it.
Fortunately, he didn’t arrive late. If Jane had fallen to the ground, who knew what would have happened.
Patrick glared fiercely at Diana before picking up Jane and leaving swiftly.
Diana stood frozen in place. She didn’t expect that her few words would directly cause Jane to faint.
Patrick took Jane to the hospital without even catching his breath. After placing Jane on the hospital bed, she was immediately wheeled inside.
After a while, the door of the examination room opened.
Patrick’s face was gloomy, and he quickly walked over.
“How is she?”
“Why were you so careless? The lady here is exhausted and very weak.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick’s expression froze.
“Low blood sugar?”
“The lady has always had low blood sugar. Haven’t you noticed, sir?” The nurse found Patrick’s expression somewhat amusing.
However, in the next second, the nurse’s expression turned serious.
“But this lady’s body is very weak. If you had come a moment later, her condition could have been worse.”
Patrick’s expression immediately became deep and solemn, like that of a wolf.
Jane’s body was weak? How could this be?
“We just noticed that the patient’s blood vessels were pulsing rapidly, and her emotional fluctuations were high, which can have adverse effects on the body.”
The nurse continued with the instructions, providing Patrick with a wake-up call.
Jane fainted on the ground after arguing with Diana earlier. Patrick didn’t know what Diana said that caused it.
And these past few days, Jane had been running around for Maria’s health. Perhaps that was why her body broke down.
Looking at Jane’s pale face on the hospital bed, Patrick took a deep breath and gently kissed her fair forehead.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
