With this, the clues to the case gradually surfaced.
“Mr. Pansy.”
The police arrived at the hospital and saw that Jane was still unconscious, shaking their heads with regret.
“What’s going on?”
Patrick didn’t get up. He sat there staring blankly at Jane’s sleeping face.
“We received information from you and it seems we have found a trace of the other party nearby, but they may have hidden a lot of incriminating evidence inside. We may need your assistance.”
The police explained that Patrick’s men were some of the best in the country and with his help, they could accomplish more in less time.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to refuse this time.”
Patrick hardly thought about it before refusing the police request. With Jane still unconscious, he didn’t have enough energy to do anything else right now.
The police shook their heads helplessly. Given Jane’s condition, it was understandable that Patrick would refuse them.
After all, who would sacrifice their wife lying on her sickbed for a few unrelated people?
“Okay.” The police nodded then bowed deeply towards Jane before quietly leaving.
In the early morning hours, Jane woke up. She looked at the familiar ceiling and blinked her eyes as her mind went blank for a moment.
“Jane,” Patrick felt her body moving and immediately woke up too. He raised his head only to find that she had woken up already.
“You’re awake,” he breathed out in relief then hugged her tightly, “Promise me you’ll take good care of yourself.”
Jane hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
It seemed like she worried him again by fainting suddenly this time around.
“I’m fine,” she said softly while patting Patrick’s shoulder gently with a smile on her lips.
“Oh yeah,” she suddenly remembered something, “Did you catch him?”
As soon as she mentioned it though, there was an unmistakable hint of sadness flickering across Patrick’s eyes, “He ran fast and created many opportunities for himself to escape along our way here; our people couldn’t catch him.”
Hearing this news made sense since Jaiden must’ve prepared well if he dared come alone this time around.
“But this morning,” Patrick tried comforting her by saying, “the authorities found some traces.”
Jane raised an eyebrow skeptically upon hearing his words, “Did he come looking for us?”
At that point though, Patrick remained silent for awhile before slowly answering, “No.”
Seeing Patrick’s expression, Jane could guess the outcome.
“You refused?”
She knew Patrick was worried about her health, so it was unlikely he would agree.
But this was something she had to handle regardless of the risks. She couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
“You know, I care a lot about this matter,” Jane furrowed her brow. “It concerns the honor of Star Entertainment. I can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
Upon hearing this, Patrick knew he couldn’t stop Jane.
He could only nod, as now he had to prioritize Jane’s emotions.
Seeing Patrick’s lack of refusal, Jane finally sent a message to the police, agreeing to assist them.
“Do you want to sleep a bit more?”
Patrick looked at the sky outside the window, where the moon still hung, and asked.
Jane nodded. Although she didn’t feel sleepy at all, Patrick had made such a big concession for her, so she had to agree.
She lay back on the hospital bed, lying on her side, her beautiful face pressed against her smooth hands.
Jane slowly closed her eyes, and as time passed, second by second, she still couldn’t fall asleep.
Suddenly, she sensed Patrick standing up beside her. Just as Jane was about to open her eyes, she heard the voice of a doctor.
“Is Mrs. Pansy asleep?”
Why would a doctor come to the ward so late?
Jane was puzzled and thought about what Jaiden had said last night. Why did he say she was dying?
Now, a doctor had come to the ward late at night, which made her curious.
Out of curiosity, Jane pretended to be asleep and didn’t open her eyes.
“Yes,” Patrick nodded, looking at Jane with a worried expression. “Can she recover?”
“It’s hard to say.”
The doctor sighed, and Jane’s heart was shaken.
Hard to say? What does that mean?
Could her illness…
Jane fell into deep thought, and at that moment, the doctor approached her.
Jane tightly closed her eyes, worried about being discovered.
The next moment, the doctor grabbed her arm and began to feel her pulse.
Jane swallowed nervously. If what Jaiden said was true, Patrick couldn’t bear to tell her. If she woke up at a time like this, he might also insist on keeping it a secret.
“It seems you’ve been frightened quite a lot this time.” The doctor finished taking her pulse and stood up. “From the pulse, madam seems even weaker than before. It’s unlikely that she can recover just by resting well.”
Upon hearing this, Jane began to feel a sense of collapse.
No wonder she had been fainting frequently these days. At first, she thought it was due to exhaustion, but it turned out her body was already deteriorating.
“What can be done to get better?”
Patrick’s voice choked up. He couldn’t believe that the once lively girl had reached such a state.
“This illness requires careful management. She needs to pay attention to her diet and rest for the next year. Additionally, she should follow the medication regimen.”
From the recent pulse reading, the doctor realized that Jane hadn’t been taking her medication properly.
If she had been consistent with her medication, her condition wouldn’t have deteriorated to this extent.
Patrick furrowed his brow. Jane had been unconscious during the day for these past few days, and as a result, the agreed-upon medication had been put on hold.
If she hadn’t received the intravenous fluids, her condition would be even weaker now.
What Patrick didn’t know was that Jane indeed hadn’t been taking her medication properly.
She thought her illness wasn’t a big deal and that it was only due to lack of rest. Moreover, having to take so many pills every day was torturous for her.
Whenever she thought about it, Jane took the opportunity when Patrick wasn’t paying attention to secretly dispose of those pills.
“In any case, madam’s body is currently very weak and requires proper care. Otherwise, if she continues to faint frequently, this postpartum complication may cost her life.”
Upon hearing this, Jane couldn’t sit still anymore.
It turned out it was still due to the miscarriage. She had just undergone treatment for it recently, and now she was being tormented by this illness again.
It even posed a threat to her life…
With these thoughts, Jane’s heart trembled.
Thinking about her unborn child, Jane couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain.
“Well, I’ll take good care of her.”
Patrick nodded, agreeing to the doctor’s instructions.
Soon, the doctor conducted a comprehensive examination for Jane, instructed the nurse to change her medication, and then left.
The room was suddenly left with only Jane and Patrick.
Jane’s breathing became heavy, and the doctor’s words echoed in her mind.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Jane soon felt drowsiness engulfing her, and she fell into a deep sleep once again…
