If the problem had been detected before takeoff or during the flight and a safending spot could be found, there would be no issue at all.


    But no one could say for certain which scenario this particr flight fell into.


    As Jane anxiously waited, the appearance of police officers only heightened her anxiety, but there was no way for her to go inside now.


    “Now that the police are involved, could this situation be turning for the worst? I’ve tried contacting Patrick several times, but he’s unreachable,” Jane fretted.


    Jane attempted to reach Patrick a few more times, with the same result as before, leaving her assistant at a loss for words to console her.


    Ordinarily, the presence of police officers here was unnecessary, as the airport had its own security personnel andw enforcement officers. There was no need to bring in additional officers from elsewhere.


    As Jane waited, her anxiety continued to mount.


    She grew increasingly desperate to know what was happening, making several more phone calls in a row.


    She hoped a friend could help investigate the situation with this flight.


    The airport was bustling with peopleing and going, passing by Jane.


    She paid little attention to them, keeping her eyes locked on one particr passageway.


    That passageway was where Patrick’s flight was supposed to emerge; she had no interest in any other area.


    She was unsure if Patrick and the others would arrive at the expected time, so she watched the schedulednding time intently.


    All she saw, however, was a nk screen, indicating that there was an issue with this flight, hence theck of information avable.


    Under normal circumstances, she would have been able to see the flight information by now if everything had gone smoothly.


    “At this point, the flight should havended ording to the schedule, but there’s no sign of it,” Jane said with urgency, while her assistant tried to reassure her to be patient.


    “Perhaps the flight is just dyed for some reason. Let’s wait a bit longer; maybe we’ll see Patrick and the others disembark soon.”


    “We’re positioned at the exit point, where we can see everyoneing out. I’ve been keeping an eye out for Patrick’s figure,” the assistant said.


    Given their good rtionship and their professional hierarchy, the assistant hoped Patrick wouldn’t encounter any issues.


    However, he couldn’t confirm the current situation and could only offer words of encouragement to Jane, hoping for the best.


    “Maybe the flight is just dyed after all. Let’s wait a bit longer,” he suggested.


    That was the only excuse Jane could give herself at this point.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    “We’ll stay put here and see if Patrick and the otherse out. Remember to stay in touch with the others and see if we can find any information about this flight,” Jane instructed, feeling increasingly frantic as her assistant nodded in agreement.


    Knowing a few media contacts, the assistant periodically called them to inquire if they had any updates on the flight.


    However, all the responses were negative until two hourster, when one of the media contacts finally provided some information.


    The flight had indeed encountered an issue, but the specifics were still being gathered urgently, leaving little room for clues.


    The assistant had no choice but to end the call, opting not to share this uncertain information with Jane.


    The news that the flight had encountered a problem was all they had, but the details remained a mystery, much like when he had reassured Jane.


    In the case of a simple flight dy due to weather or technical issues, the assistant felt there was a significant gappared to the possibility of a disaster, and he didn’t want Jane to be troubled by such thoughts.


    Thus, he decided to keep this news to himself until all the flights at the airport hadnded.


    If Patrick’s presence remained unseen by then, he would inform Jane, considering there might be more urate information avable by then.


    As Jane watched thew enforcement officersing and going, her expression gradually grew more panicked.


    “It’s almost time for thest few flights tond. If they allnd and there’s still no news, then it’s the end of the shift here,” she remarked anxiously.


    “Is there still no news from your end? Don’t any media outlets have any information about whether this flight has encountered any problems?” she asked her assistant, who shook his head.


    “No news is good news, actually. If it were a major issue, the airline would have issued a statement by now,” the assistant tried to reassure Jane, who had no choice but to continue waiting patiently.


    As thest two flights disembarked without any sign of Patrick, Jane was disappointed. She no longer wanted to wait and needed to gather information quickly to understand the situation.


    “Let’s go. We can’t wait any longer. I’ll contact the media reporters myself, and you need to book a ticket for me to go overseas. I need to see for myself,” Jane determined.


    Upon hearing Jane’s instructions, the assistant hastened to lead her back, nning to return to the office first. This would allow Jane to feel some sense of relief. She walked slowly, head downcast, refraining from dwelling on any thoughts.


    Jane knew that if she allowed herself to dwell too much, she might face a reality she couldn’t bear.


    As the passengers from the final flight hurried past Jane, brushing against her shoulder, she paid little notice until she turned and caught sight of someone behind her who bore a striking resemnce to Patrick.
