Mike’s condition had been improving over the past couple of days, and Patrick visited him twice without any issues.
Instead, it was Mike who urged Patrick to handle the company’s affairs properly, while he could focus on recovering at the hospital.
Patrick was concerned that the conditions at the hospital were not as comfortable as being at home.
He consulted Mike’s opinion and decided that they would arrange for Mike’s discharge when the time was right, and handle the remaining matters at home.
Patrick found Jane and discussed the matter with her. He had now understood Jane’s attitude.
She no longer held grudges against past mistakes.
However, there were a few individuals whom Jane couldn’t forget, as they had deeply hurt her in the past.
“I think the house in Mike’s estate needs some renovation. It doesn’t require major changes, just a slightly more comfortable environment than it is now.”
“And remember, we need to make it ready for him to move in quickly. If everything goes well in the next few days, I plan to bring Mike back home.”
Patrick’s stance was simple. He wanted to see if Jane still harbored any resentment towards Mike.
If Jane took on this task, it would prove that she had let go of the past.
“Well, I noticed a few areas in the house that need tidying up a few days ago. Some places do require minor repairs.”
“While we don’t need major changes, we do need to fill in the missing pieces. It will take about two or three days. I’ll start working on it today.”
Upon hearing this response, Patrick nodded with a smile. Jane began arranging for the refurbishment of Pansy’s Old Mansion.
She meticulously planned everything, considering the exterior landscaping, interior cleanliness, and the missing items. She instructed her subordinates to prepare accordingly.
Jane put a lot of effort into it because she knew that someone like Mike, at his age, even if they had any conflicts, these matters would eventually fade away in a few years if she didn’t understand him.
Mike was already old, and even if he remained healthy, he would only live a few more years.
Jane couldn’t bear to nitpick with such a person, especially considering their family relationship.
She also knew it wasn’t possible to completely avoid contact with Patrick’s family for a lifetime, especially since Patrick had already informed her.
“We are currently investigating the report about cutting ties with Mike.”
“Based on Mike’s current attitude, it’s certain that he didn’t say such a thing. There’s something suspicious going on.”
This made Jane feel that all the grievances and conflicts between her and Mike had dissipated.
Previously, it was only due to the company and their children. Now, those issues had been resolved.
The day to discharge Mike arrived quickly. Jane and Patrick went to the hospital to pick him up. When Mike saw Jane, he was somewhat excited.
“Jane, I admit that I’ve done wrong in the past. Are you willing to forgive me? Maybe it’s because I’m getting old and confused!”
Upon hearing Mike’s sincere words, Jane was taken aback. She quickly responded, “Let’s leave the past behind us. Neither of us should mention it anymore. Now, we only need to focus on the future. As long as you are in good health, we’ll be happy.”
Although there were no tears streaming down his face, Mike felt a rush of emotions, along with a tinge of guilt.
“Yes, let’s forget about the past. From now on, I just want to enjoy my remaining years peacefully. Whenever I have free time, I’ll play with the children.”
“Will you finally agree to bring the children to my side and spend a few days with me?” Mike joked, wondering what Jane would say. She immediately agreed without hesitation.
If Mike had wanted to take Jane’s children away before, it was a completely different concept compared to now, where he simply wanted to spend time with them.
“As long as you’re happy, we can bring the children over anytime. We’re just concerned about your fatigue. Once you’ve recovered a bit more, we’ll bring the kids over for a nice gathering.”
Mike nodded happily, eager to return home. He urged Patrick to quickly handle the remaining paperwork.
Patrick smiled and nodded. While Jane chatted with Mike, Patrick had already taken care of all the necessary procedures.
“Let’s go, we can go home now!”
Patrick said with a smile, leading Jane and Mike back to the estate.
Mike saw that the estate was immaculate. Patrick informed him that it was all thanks to Jane’s efforts.
When they entered the house, they noticed it was clean and some furniture and appliances had been replaced.
“Jane, I want to thank you. I thought I would have to be busy for a few days after coming back!”
Jane heard Mike’s gratitude and quickly responded.
“It’s nothing. It’s what we, the younger generation, should do. I’ve already made arrangements, and the housekeepers will be here soon. They will take care of you during these days.”
“We will also find a long-term caretaker as soon as possible!”
Jane had taken care of these matters without Patrick’s involvement, and he felt very satisfied.
After the housekeepers arrived, Patrick and Jane had dinner together before returning home.
Feeling tired, Patrick went to sleep while Jane continued searching on her computer for information about Beatrice.
Patrick didn’t avoid this matter and had already shared all the clues he knew with Jane.
After a few days, with the increasing number of clues, Jane was able to confirm that the departure of the servants from Mike’s house was definitely related to Beatrice.
However, she still didn’t know the full details of what had happened, and the mysterious woman from before had also been in contact with Beatrice multiple times.
“What does Beatrice want to do? Why did she have contact with the mafia and this woman? She drove away all the servants, so what is she trying to hide?”
As she analyzed the information in her hands, although none of it directly implicated Beatrice, it indirectly proved her connection to the events.
Therefore, Jane hoped that by unraveling the situation, she could continue using her hacking skills to uncover the truth.
