“This is one million dollars. Can you speak now?”
Kaya looked at the check in front of her, stunned. Although she had been working for Mike for many years, this was the first time she held such a large check in her hands.
“I was taking care of her at the villa yesterday and was called back in the evening.”
Upon hearing about Jane’s whereabouts, Patrick suddenly sat up straight.
“Where is she?”
“On a deserted beach, but I flew there and Mike doesn’t allow us to use electronic devices. I don’t know where it is either.”
Patrick frowned. He couldn’t believe that Mike had taken such precautions and even targeted his own employees. This explained why he hadn’t been able to contact Jane for days.
“He thought of sending a psychologist there as their only option and then having someone follow them.”
“Can you contact the staff over there?” Patrick asked. Kaya lowered her head and thought for a moment before nodding.
“We have a dedicated phone line between us, but Madam has no idea about it.”
This made things easier. He made a call to have the psychologist board Mike’s private plane while he sent his own people on another plane to follow them closely from afar.
This way they could find out where Jane was being held captive.
“You help me contact the staff so they can cooperate with me in rescuing Jane. After that, I will reward you generously,” Patrick said.
Kaya did as instructed by calling the staff over there.
This was a matter between the servants, so Mike never asked about these things.
Soon, Kaya coordinated with the other servants and waited for Patrick’s people to arrive at the villa.
The plane carrying the psychiatrist quickly reached its destination, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was led to the villa.
According to the description of the servants, Jane’s current mood was very bad, otherwise she wouldn’t have gone out to seek a psychiatrist.
Patrick clenched his fists tightly, hoping that nothing bad had happened to Jane.
Soon, he arrived at the beach, avoiding the security’s line of sight and entering the villa.
The surveillance in the villa had been previously sabotaged by the servants, so at this moment, Mike had no idea that Patrick had found this place.
The servant led Patrick to Jane’s room, and as expected, Jane’s low roar could be heard from inside.
It sounded heavy and disappointed, and Patrick’s heart tightened.
Jane was already physically and mentally exhausted. She sat numbly on the floor, the cold tiles piercing her body.
But Jane didn’t care at all. Being trapped here, what could be more painful than this?
Because of this sudden child, her life was disrupted, and Jane didn’t want to be constrained like this.
Soon, her mood worsened, and the intense pain in her abdomen, which was already experiencing contractions, became even more severe.
“Ah…”
She groaned in pain, clutching her abdomen, her voice filled with agony.
As soon as Patrick realized something was wrong, he quickly pushed open the door and immediately saw that the area under Jane was soaked in blood.
“Jane-”
Patrick panicked and rushed forward to embrace Jane.
“Doctor, call a doctor quickly.”
Patrick shouted angrily, looking at Jane collapsing in a pool of blood. He had never felt so distressed before.
“Hold on, the doctor will be here soon.”
“Why did you take so long to come?”
Seeing Patrick, Jane’s last line of defense completely crumbled in her heart. She rested her head against Patrick’s solid chest, tears streaming down incessantly.
“I came late, and you suffered because of it.”
Suppressing his inner anger, Patrick embraced Jane.
“Can you take me away from here, please?”
Jane, with her bloodied hand, caressed Patrick’s cheek, and Patrick nodded hastily.
“Okay, we’ll leave this place.”
Soon, Jane couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted.
The doctor hurriedly arrived and, seeing Jane lying on the floor, immediately instructed people to lift her onto the bed.
Mike also arrived at this moment and frowned upon seeing everything in front of him.
However, Patrick’s entire focus was on Jane, and he paid no attention to Mike.
He sat on the side, diagnosing Jane’s pulse, his expression heavy.
In the end, the doctor shook his head. “Madam, she had a miscarriage.”
Mike felt a tremor beneath him and almost lost his balance.
“Madam’s body was already very weak, not suitable for carrying a fetus. Her emotional instability in the past few days repeatedly disturbed the fetus, which was even more detrimental. So, this miscarriage was only a matter of time.”
The doctor sighed, and Mike fell silent.
Indeed, this pregnancy came too suddenly for Jane. Seeing her weak appearance now, Mike remained silent.
Patrick held Jane’s somewhat cold body, his face unusually grave. The next moment, Patrick turned his head and looked at Mike.
“Why did you do this? She was already physically weak, and you forced her to carry the pregnancy. Isn’t that tantamount to taking her life?”
Mike opened his mouth, wanting to try to explain, but faced with Patrick’s angry gaze, he had nothing to say.
“Now, not only did we lose the child, but her body is even weaker. Is this what you wanted to see?”
“I didn’t want this either, but it has already happened.”
Mike furrowed his brow. Jane was lying motionless in Patrick’s arms, and if it weren’t for her faint breathing, her pale face would have made him doubt if she was still in this world.
“If it wasn’t for you, would she be like this?”
Patrick clenched his teeth. “I’ve told you before, we can have another child, but if Jane is gone, there’s no turning back. Is this what you wanted by tormenting her like this?”
“No, I didn’t. I just wanted…”
Mike wanted to explain, but he still had no words.
“Just wanted what?” Patrick coldly looked back. “If anything happens to Jane, I won’t let you off.”
Patrick couldn’t control his emotions and painfully questioned Mike.
Mike realized that this time, perhaps he had truly made a mistake.
He sighed softly, looking at Jane’s pale face, so different from the confident one he saw a few days ago.
Perhaps, this time it was truly because of him that Jane lost her former confidence.
She was rebellious by nature, disliking being restrained, and this time he forcibly kept her here, amplifying her emotional turmoil. Her body, which was already unsuitable for carrying a fetus, became even heavier, leading to the situation today.
Then, Mike walked out of the room.
This time, he chose to withdraw on his own, no longer pressing Jane and Patrick for answers.
