Chapter 132: Whom Would You Choose
Chapter 132: Whom Would You Choose
When Jane was twelve, she endured a severe illness, a brush with death that erased many
memories from before her recovery.
Her grandfather told her that both of her parents had passed away when she was very young.
For years, Jane''s impression of her parents was almost nonexistent.
Whenever she attempted to recall childhood events, Jane would experience splitting headaches, so
most of the time, she intentionally avoided thinking about them.
But why, at this moment, did a vivid image of a family outing to an amusement park surface in her
mind?
It felt so real.
Jane''s legs unconsciously led her toward the direction of the amusement park.
Standing at the entrance, she stared intensely inside, struggling to recollect. Fragmented scenes
shed through her mind, causing her head to ache again.
Jane felt frustrated. Why couldn''t she remember anything?
She couldn''t even recall what her mom and dad looked like.
As night fell, neon lights painted the streets with colorful hues.
Despite a clear sky during the day, it started drizzling now.
A chilly wind blew, and Jane couldn''t help but shiver.
Suddenly, arge ck umbre opened above Jane, shielding her from the rain and wind.
Jane turned in surprise to see a tall, familiar figure.
"Patrick, why is it you?" Jane looked at the man before her in astonishment, feeling an inexplicable
flutter in her heart.
Under the dim lights, Patrick, in a smoky gray suit, showcased his perfect physique.
His deep, ocean-like gaze fixed tightly on Jane''s face.
With his sexy thin lips slightly curling, Patrick''s voice, as melodious as a cello, echoed in Jane''s ear,
"You suggested testing our fate. Now that we''ve met again, does it prove that we are destined?"
Jane''s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
In the vast crowd and the vast city, she and Patrick had truly met again.
Was there really fate between them?
Patrick took off his suit jacket and delicately draped it over Jane. Lips slightly lifting, he said, "Why
are you standing alone like a fool at the entrance of the amusement park?"
The suit jacket still retained Patrick''s warmth, and Jane''s heart warmed. "I was thinking about my
parents."
"Your parents? Are they in Georgia now?" Patrick asked casually.
Jane came from rural Georgia, so her parents should be in the countryside, right?
Jane''s gaze dimmed, her tone carrying a touch of sadness. "They''re no longer in this world."
"I''m sorry." Patrick quickly apologized, and there was a hint of tenderness in his gaze as he looked
at Jane.
"In fact, I don''t even know what my parents looked like. ording to my grandfather, they had an
ident when I was very young," Jane sighed softly.
"My father also passed away when I was fifteen," Patrick empathetically shared.
Jane nodded. "I miss them a lot."
Patrick suddenly took Jane''s hand, leading her into the entrance of the amusement park. "I''ll take
you to see them."
"See who?" Jane was a bit puzzled but involuntarily followed Patrick into the amusement park.
The drizzle had stopped at some point.
Patrick, with Jane in tow, stopped by the Ferris wheel.
"I''m afraid of heights." Jane looked at the towering Ferris wheel and instinctively shrunk her neck.
"With me here, you don''t need to be afraid." Patrick faintly smiled, reaching out to lift Jane off her
feet.
"Ah..." a startled cry escaped Jane''s lips. Before she could react, she was already airborne, carried
by Patrick into the Ferris wheel.
"What are you doing?" Jane was a bit bewildered. What was this man up to?
"Look over there." Patrick''s slender hand pointed to the sky. "See those tworgest, twinkling stars
over there?"
Jane, curious, followed Patrick''s direction.
In the vast night sky, two sparkling stars were faintly visible.
"Actually, your mom and dad never left; they just went to heaven. In another ce, they silently
watch over you and care for you," Patrick said in a deep voice.
"Really?" Even though Jane knew these were justforting words from Patrick, a touch of
emotion swept through her heart.
Jane smiled, and as she turned, she almost collided with Patrick''s extraordinarily handsome face.
His three-dimensional features seemed like a masterpiece crafted by a divine hand. His deep, fiery
gaze was fixed on her.
In the confined space of the Ferris wheel, the two were so close that Jane could clearly hear
Patrick''s breath.
Her heart beat a bit faster. Jane averted her gaze and looked out of the window.
When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, was it the moment she was closest to her mom
and dad?
The Ferris wheel ascended slowly.

The man beside her brought her an unexinable sense of peace.
In this moment, Jane seemed to forget her fear of heights and everything else. In her gaze, there
were only the twinkling stars in the night sky.
When the Ferris wheel reached its pinnacle, the man beside Jane suddenly leaned down, gently
nting a fleeting kiss on her cheek.
On her cheek, Patrick''s lips carried a burning warmth, creating an electrifying sensation that surged
through Jane''s entire body.
"Jane, do you know? The very top of the Ferris wheel is the closest ce to happiness. If lovers
kiss at the summit, they will never be separated for eternity," Patrick''s sexy lips curved with a faint
smile, filled with irresistible charm. "Just like us now."
Jane''s face suddenly flushed.
"We''re not quite lovers yet, are we?" Jane took a deep breath and spoke lightly.
"I''ll wait for your answer. I hope you won''t make me wait too long." Patrick''s tone was soft, and his
warm palm sped Jane''s small hand.
Jane''s heart pounded like a startled deer, almost leaping into her throat.
She closed her eyes, then opened them, meeting the silent gaze of the man beside her. "If one day,
Candyes back, and you have to choose between her and me, whom would you choose?"
Jane knew that at this moment, she shouldn''t be asking such a mood-killing question.
However, she couldn''t help it.
She minded Candy''s presence, she minded Patrick''s deep affection for Candy, and she was afraid
that she was just Candy''s substitute.
