When the man approached Jane, her eyes lit up because she noticed that the person sitting in front of her resembled Patrick.
She thought she might have had too much to drink and shook her head, but she still saw the similarities in the way this person dressed and even their appearance, just like Patrick.
Jane couldn’t hold back any longer and reached out, embracing the person in front of her.
“… You finally came back to find me.”
“Do you know how I’ve been these days? I lost all hope, but I firmly believed that you would come back.”
Jane cried as she held onto the man, leaving him at a loss.
But the man understood that the woman in front of him must have been hurt for her to cry like this.
Meanwhile, April had left the performance venue and had been calling Jane, but Jane didn’t answer her calls.
April had no choice but to ask a friend to call on her behalf, but they couldn’t find out where Jane was.
This made April extremely worried, and she finally came up with a solution to track her down.
“Quick, check a license plate number and see where it leads.”
“My friend has gone missing, and she’s not answering my calls. Please help me, she’s in a really bad state right now, and I’m afraid something might happen to her.”
After a brief search on the phone, the person on the other end provided April with a location. As soon as April heard the location, she knew where Jane had gone.
It was the only bar in that area, with no other entertainment venues around.
April and Jane had been to this bar several times before, so she felt it was highly likely that Jane had gone there to clear her mind.
When April arrived at the bar and searched for a while, she finally found Jane crying while holding onto a man at the counter.
This scene left April feeling somewhat bewildered.
The man seemed quite gentlemanly and hadn’t taken advantage of the situation. He also had a puzzled expression on his face.
“I’m sorry about that. My friend is feeling down and has had a bit too much to drink. You look a lot like her ex-husband.”
April apologized, “When she wakes up, I’ll make sure she apologizes to you in person.”
The man was gracious and smiled when he saw someone coming to find Jane, though he also felt a bit awkward.
“No need for apologies. But I can see that your friend is very sad. You should really take care of her and make sure nothing happens to her.”
The man turned his head slightly as he spoke, and April was surprised to find that he really looked like Patrick.
If she hadn’t looked closely, she wouldn’t have noticed any difference. She quickly asked the man.
“Are you sure you’re not Patrick? You don’t know someone named Patrick?”
The man shook his head; he had never heard that name before. April confirmed once again, but the man reluctantly took out a business card and handed it to April.
Whether it was the name, phone number, or other information, it didn’t match Patrick at all.
April gave up hope at that moment, but she took the opportunity to discreetly put the business card into Jane’s pocket.
“Well, thank you for taking care of Jane. When she wakes up, I’ll make sure she calls you right away.”
“The world is truly amazing. I’ve come across someone who looks almost identical to my friend, and we were fortunate to meet each other.”
The man also felt amazed, although he didn’t think much of it because there were many strange things in this world.
Indeed, there were cases where two unrelated people looked alike, much like a segment in a variety show called “Celebrity Impersonation.”
No matter which celebrity it was, there were usually a few people in the world who looked very similar to them.
So, encountering someone occasionally and saying that they looked like someone else wasn’t a big deal to him.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you anymore,” the man said as he got up and left.
After much effort, April managed to bring Jane back home.
Jane was completely intoxicated and immersed in tearful memories of the past.
April could only console Jane and finally rest herself once Jane fell asleep.
The moment Jane woke up the next day, her mind was filled with thoughts of meeting Patrick yesterday. April informed her of what had happened when she saw that Jane was awake.
However, Jane refused to believe it. April had no other choice but to tell Jane that she had kept the man’s phone number.
Jane immediately called the man, who happened to be free that day. Upon hearing that he was being asked to apologize and that his attitude was resolute, the man agreed to meet with Jane at a specified location.
Jane’s heart was filled with excitement. She waited for a long time at the designated place, and when she saw a figure approaching, her excitement grew even stronger.
Because the person she saw was the exact replica of the figure she had encountered yesterday, the same as Patrick. She couldn’t believe that this person was not Patrick; she just didn’t understand why Patrick was intentionally avoiding her.
When the man stood in front of her, Jane noticed that he was wearing a mask.
However, whether it was his appearance or the exposed skin, it truly resembled Patrick.
“Why didn’t you come to find me? Why did you avoid me? Don’t you want your company anymore? Don’t you want me anymore?”
The man already had a general idea of what had happened yesterday. He shrugged with an apologetic smile, although it was hidden behind the mask.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not the person you’re looking for. I believe you’ve mistaken me. I explained this to your friend yesterday.”
Jane was firm in her attitude. “I don’t believe that two people can have the exact same voice, and I wasn’t completely drunk yesterday.”
“There must be a reason why you’re not willing to acknowledge me. Are you suffering from amnesia? Or are you really blaming me?”
Jane didn’t believe it, and she insisted that the man remove his mask to confirm.
When the man took off his mask, Jane saw a man who looked exactly like Patrick. From his facial structure to other details, they were almost identical.
Jane still had doubts and asked about past events and questioned the man about his current situation.
The results showed that there was indeed no match. Not only did the man have no knowledge of her and Patrick’s past, but he also perfectly described his current identity and work.
