“I’ll go and check. You rest here properly. If I have any news, I’ll inform you immediately.”
Patrick wanted to calm Jane’s emotions, but at this moment, Jane wasn’t listening at all and insisted on going to search on her own.
“If you insist on going, then I’ll immediately recall my subordinates and stop caring about Maria’s well-being.”
In a state of urgency, Patrick had no choice but to use this method to threaten Jane.
“You’re threatening me.”
Jane glared at Patrick. Seeing his familiar expression, it seemed he wasn’t joking.
“It’s for your own good,” Patrick sighed, patting Jane’s back. “You’ve just woken up, and if you get out of bed, you’ll faint after a few steps. It’s better to take care of your body first before going to see her.”
Jane lowered her gaze, realizing that Patrick’s words made sense.
She was currently a patient herself. If she went, not only would it worsen her condition, but it would also disrupt the doctors. It wasn’t worth it.
“Alright.”
She lowered her head and reluctantly compromised.
Patrick smiled and gently stroked Jane’s head.
“If anything happens, I’ll inform you immediately.”
Jane nodded and urged Patrick to go quickly. “You should go and check as well. Give me some reassurance.”
Patrick nodded, promised her, and arranged for his subordinates to bring Maria back.
“Don’t worry, they will take care of her.”
Patrick reassured Maria. Now that Maria had been found, he would find the best doctors in the country to treat her.
This time, Maria survived the plane crash, but she was severely injured. Her arm had a large burn mark from the plane’s fire, and her body was wrinkled from being soaked in seawater. She looked terrible.
However, the important thing was that she survived. Due to drinking too much water and being scared, she still hadn’t fully regained consciousness.
Maria lay quietly on the bed, not moving at all, relying on the nutrient solution to sustain her normal bodily functions.
After a few days, Jane’s body had recovered quite well.
During these days, she had been consuming various supplements sent by Mike, and Patrick had been giving her massages to aid her recovery, which made her recuperate quickly.
Even the doctor was surprised at how fast she had recovered.
“I’ve been doing so well these past few days, so let me go see Maria.”
Jane made a request to Patrick, then stood up in front of him, forming a cross shape with her hands and spinning around in place, indicating that she was fine.
“You see, I’ve recovered so quickly. I’m already fine.”
“Be careful.”
Patrick’s face darkened, and he quickly grabbed his coat and draped it over Jane.
“Your body is still weak. Don’t catch a cold, or all the efforts of these past few days will go to waste.”
Jane pouted, about to sit back on the bed, but unexpectedly, Patrick’s voice came from behind her.
“If you finish eating this bird’s nest, I’ll take you to find Maria.”
Jane’s eyes instantly brightened, and without hesitation, she snatched the bird’s nest from Patrick’s hand and started eating it hungrily.
In less than a minute, she finished the bird’s nest.
Jane smiled confidently at herself, and Patrick, helpless, fulfilled his promise and took Jane to Maria’s ward.
As soon as Jane entered Maria’s room, she was overwhelmed by the smell of alcohol. She focused her gaze and immediately saw Maria lying on the hospital bed.
Seeing Maria’s badly injured body, Jane’s eyes flickered, and she covered her mouth. She didn’t expect Maria to be so severely injured.
At that moment, Patrick’s warm hand gently touched her shoulder.
Jane turned her head and saw Patrick’s determined gaze, which reassured her.
She slowly walked towards Maria, reached out to touch her face, and said, “I’m sorry for what happened to you. I shouldn’t have rushed you to go abroad.”
Seeing Maria still deeply asleep, Jane didn’t say much. She sat beside her silently, watching her.
Patrick had been silently watching from the side. Seeing Jane so heartbroken, he couldn’t bring himself to ask her to leave.
“I have almost recovered, so you don’t need to worry about me.” Jane suddenly turned around, looking at Patrick seriously. “I can’t rest assured seeing Maria in this condition. Let me take care of her.”
Patrick couldn’t bear it, but seeing Jane like this, he couldn’t argue.
“You also need to take care of your own body. You’re still a patient,” Patrick reminded her.
Jane smiled slightly at Patrick’s words. She knew that Patrick had compromised.
“Okay,” she agreed.
This time, when she fell ill, she understood the consequences of overexertion. If she collapsed, more people would take advantage of her vulnerability.
So, she agreed not only for Patrick’s sake but also for her own.
After Patrick left, Jane stayed alone to take care of Maria.
She obtained a disinfected towel from the doctor and gently wiped Maria’s body.
Seeing the shocking wounds on Maria’s body deeply touched her heart.
So, while wiping, she tried to avoid the wounds on Maria’s body as much as possible.
After finishing, she leaned over by Maria’s bedside, quietly guarding her.
“Jane, Jane?”
Just as Jane was about to fall asleep by the bedside, a force shook her awake.
She suddenly raised her head and asked, “Maria, is Maria awake?”
Seeing Maria still lying on the hospital bed, Jane shook her head.
She turned to look, and it was April. It was she who had called Jane just now.
“What’s wrong?” Jane rubbed her beautiful almond eyes, half-supporting her head.
“I just finished my work at the company and heard that Maria was found. I came to take care of her,” April said, looking at Maria, who was resting, with slightly reddened eyes.
“I didn’t expect her to be so severely injured this time. She has really suffered,” April said helplessly, letting out a sigh.
“I haven’t been around recently. How is the company doing?” Jane asked. Lately, she had been focusing on Maria, neglecting the affairs of the company.
As April opened her mouth, looking embarrassed, Jane knew that something big had happened.
“In the past few days, our company’s resources have been intercepted by other companies. Even the drama that the newcomer you signed a few days ago was taken away. I’m running out of resources to work with,” April said in a lower voice. If it weren’t for this situation, she wouldn’t have had the free time to come to the hospital to see Maria today.
Jane frowned, not expecting those companies to be so audacious, taking advantage of her absence and resorting to such halfway robbery.
