“Arrange the car immediately, postpone all my work,” Patrick couldn’t contain his excitement. This was the first time he had heard from Jane since they had been apart for so long, and naturally, he was more excited than anyone else.
“But, sir, we have to sign a contract with another group in half an hour. This is a hard-won opportunity,” and this collaboration was an opportunity that Patrick had worked hard for alone for a long time.
Patrick waved his hand dismissively. “Everything is postponed. Whatever work it is, postpone it for me. Right now, Jane comes first before anyone else.”
The secretary couldn’t help but sigh at the relationship between his boss and the boss’s wife.
The boss was a handsome and wealthy diamond bachelor, while the boss’s wife was a beautiful and self-reliant woman. These two were so well-matched and even had two lovely children together.
The secretary couldn’t help but envy them.
On Patrick’s side, the car was already arranged and heading towards the airport.
However, Jane didn’t tell anyone about her return this time, not even her disciples. She wanted to quietly help her father fulfill his wish and get through this difficult situation without relying on more people.
Her parents also seemed very excited, returning here for the first time in over a decade, their emotions were complex.
“Back when we left, this place wasn’t like this. The changes over these years have been so fast.” They were once the dominant figures in this city, but they disappeared overnight.
Jane pushed her father’s wheelchair down from the plane, and the three of them walked out from the VIP channel, where Patrick was waiting for them inside, but they didn’t meet.
As soon as they got off the plane, Jane had already arranged for a car to pick them up and take them directly to the hospital.
But Patrick waited for half an hour and still didn’t see Jane’s figure.
“Where are they? Didn’t you say the plane had already arrived? Why haven’t I seen them yet?” Patrick berated the secretary.
The secretary was at a loss. The message he received today was indeed like this, but it turned out to be a smoke bomb.
“Don’t worry, sir. Let’s wait a little longer. Maybe the plane was delayed and they’ll show up soon,” the secretary could only advise gently, not daring to get angry.
Patrick hung up the phone coldly and continued to wait.
He waited in the airport all afternoon without seeing Jane’s figure, which thoroughly irritated him.
“Now you immediately find out where Jane is. If you still can’t find her, or if the information is wrong, don’t bother coming to work tomorrow,” Patrick said ruthlessly, frightening the secretary into agreeing without complaint.
Meanwhile, Jane’s phone was ringing off the hook, but she didn’t answer any of them.
She had already arranged for her parents to be admitted to the hospital and even contacted the doctor. She had done all of this independently, without relying on Patrick’s influence.
Seeing her daughter’s capability, her parents felt relieved and pleased.
“Our daughter has really grown up. She’s become quite mature over these years,” the father couldn’t help but sigh.
Jane went directly to the doctor, discussed her father’s condition with them, and gathered several experts she knew in this hospital.
In a short time, all the experts in the city were summoned by Jane and arranged in the small conference room.
“These are the test results my father had abroad, which confirmed that he has uremia. However, the reason I called you all here is to inquire if there’s any possibility of curing it through surgery.”
Although this question seemed futile, Jane still wanted to give it a try.
Several experts were dumbfounded. Uremia, how could there be a cure? It was a disease that once diagnosed, meant certain death.
“If surgery is forced, there may be risks, and the likelihood of risks is around eighty percent,” one of the senior doctors said after their discussion.
Jane also agreed with this view.
“But considering the current situation, how long do you think medication can maintain the condition?” He had already survived the first three months, which she considered fortunate, but the days ahead would only get tougher.
“As a doctor yourself, you probably understand the situation inside out. Moreover, the situation is quite complex, so we dare not make any rash conclusions. It varies from person to person; some may maintain for one or two years after taking medication, while others, about six months. It all depends on the patient’s own physical condition.”
Jane had long understood these polite words. She had called these doctors to see if there were any other methods.
“Madam, it’s best to stick to conservative treatment.”
After discussing for half a day, the experts finally came to a conclusion to opt for conservative treatment.
However, it required the patient to come in for a check-up every week to prevent the condition from worsening.
Jane silently nodded.
Meanwhile, the secretary had also found out about Jane’s situation and quickly called Patrick.
“I’ve just found out about Madam. They left directly from the VIP channel, so you didn’t see them. It seems they’ve gone to the hospital, possibly for some serious examination.”
It took the secretary quite an effort to find out this information because Jane was a top-notch hacker; if she wanted to hide something, no one else could find it.
Patrick grunted and hung up the phone, then drove straight to the hospital.
Jane kept all this information to herself and didn’t tell her father. With a smile on her face, she walked into the hospital room.
“Let’s go home and stay there. The hospital isn’t safe, and staying here will inevitably cause more stress,” she suggested. Upon hearing this, her father nodded in agreement, naturally accepting his daughter’s opinion.
So, after packing up their things and putting them in the trunk of the car, Jane drove off with her father and mother.
As soon as the car started, another car came directly towards them.
As Jane got out of the car, ready to scold, she saw Patrick in the car. With a quick change of direction, she drove off.
Patrick had been following behind all along.
