Patrick’s gaze became resolute. He would not let Jane suffer any harm anymore.
He turned around and gave a signal to his subordinate beside him, saying, “Assign more people to take care of her. We cannot let her get hurt.”
Just then, Patrick received a call from Mike.
He frowned as he looked at his phone. What could Mike want at a time like this?
“What’s the matter?”
Patrick’s voice sounded impatient. With Jane’s illness, he was already in a bad mood. If Mike kept pestering him, he might lose his temper.
“I heard that Jane is sick? What happened?”
Mike’s deep and strong voice came from the other end. Patrick was taken aback. How did Mike find out so quickly?
It was no wonder, with so many reporters at the beach filming that day. Moreover, arguing with the Ragsdill family in front of so many people would undoubtedly attract attention.
And Mike had eyes and ears everywhere, so it wasn’t surprising that he knew about these things.
“I have my sources. Just tell me what happened to Jane.”
Mike ignored Patrick’s impatience. Seeing the video of Jane fainting, he couldn’t help but worry.
Jane was a good child, but she was too stubborn. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many problems later on.
However, it was precisely because of that stubbornness that Mike recognized her as the mistress of the Pansy family.
“It’s nothing serious, just low blood sugar. She’s been too fatigued recently, and her body couldn’t handle it.”
Patrick said calmly. Fainting was a serious matter, but at Mike’s age, he didn’t want to worry him further.
“You brat, take care of her properly. If something like this happens again, I won’t spare you.”
To Patrick’s surprise, Mike criticized him directly. Upon hearing this news, Patrick became even more worried.
Jane could be so busy with work, and now she fell ill. If they encountered such a situation again in the future, it would surely happen once more.
Given Jane’s personality, Patrick might not be able to stop her either.
Mike frowned. This couple really made him worry.
“Well then, I’ll send a few people to take care of Jane, so I can have peace of mind.”
“No need. I’ll take care of her here. Nothing will happen.”
Patrick directly retorted. Although Mike’s subordinates were experienced, Jane was his fiancee, and he could take care of her.
“You can’t stop me. I’ve already sent someone.”
Patrick fell silent. Mike was just like that, no one could stop him.
“Also, to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future, I think it’s better to have Jane stay at the old mansion. Otherwise, who knows what might happen.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick became extremely displeased.
“I can take care of my wife myself. There’s no need to move her there. It’s troublesome.”
“You taking care of Jane? Look at the current situation. It’s best for her to come to the house. The maids know how to handle things, and with someone to take care of her, it’s better since you’re busy with work.”
Patrick felt helpless and had to agree for now. Mike was getting old, and if he continued to argue with him like this, it might lead to something bad happening.
Mike wanted to say a few more words, but Patrick used the excuse of taking care of Jane to hang up the phone directly.
As he watched the screen gradually darken, Mike didn’t pay much attention. He should take care of Jane properly.
He waved his hand, calling the butler over and instructing him to clean and tidy up the room where Jane and Patrick were staying, so it would be convenient for them to move in at any time.
Just as Patrick hung up the phone, he picked up a towel to wipe Jane’s face. Unexpectedly, at that moment, Jane’s hand moved.
Patrick’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly sat by the bedside, holding his breath. Was Jane waking up?
After a long time, Jane still lay quietly there. It seemed that the movement just now was only Patrick’s illusion.
He let out a gentle sigh and covered Jane with the blanket. She had been exhausted these past few days, and it would be good for her to sleep a little longer.
Little did Patrick know that as soon as he was about to leave, a weak hand grabbed him.
He turned around suddenly, and Jane had awakened.
“You’re awake.”
Patrick immediately bent down, his eyes filled with concern. “How are you feeling? Is there anywhere that doesn’t feel well?”
Jane smiled and shook her head weakly. “No.”
Her voice was very weak, but it was enough for Patrick to hear clearly.
“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Patrick’s voice was urgent. When Jane fainted, his heart had been in turmoil. He didn’t want Jane to suffer any harm anymore.
“I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Jane grinned, forcing a slight smile on her lips. At the same time, her heart felt a warmth.
“By the way, where’s Maria? Have you found her?”
Mentioning Maria, Patrick’s expression changed.
He had known that Jane would ask about this, but until now, Maria still hadn’t been found. He was afraid that Jane would be upset, so he remained silent and didn’t give any response.
Seeing Patrick’s expression, Jane understood what it meant. She nodded and didn’t continue to ask.
She slowly closed her eyes, still feeling guilty about the plane crash involving Maria.
“Don’t be sad. We’ll find her eventually.”
Patrick gently stroked Jane’s forehead, indicating for her to relax.
“I wonder how she’s doing now.”
Jane was very worried. If she wasn’t found soon, she feared she would see Maria’s body.
“She’ll be fine. She’s usually such a lively person, nothing will happen to her.”
Patrick comforted her softly. Suddenly, a phone call interrupted their thoughts.
Patrick took out his phone and saw that it was his assistant calling.
“Is there news about Maria?”
Jane’s eyes lit up, and she grabbed Patrick’s hand, her gaze intense.
Patrick pursed his lips, then answered the call.
“Sir, we found pieces of the plane on an island in the sea. We followed the debris and found five people from the plane.”
The assistant reported. Upon hearing this news, Jane hurriedly tried to sit up but was pressed back down by Patrick.
“Among the five people, we found Miss Marner’s trace.”
Maria had been found!
A smile curved up on Jane’s lips. Maria was still alive!
Knowing that Maria was safe, she gradually let go of her worries.
“Good, I understand. I’ll go there immediately.”
Patrick nodded and then ended the call.
