Chapter 142: Love At First Kiss


    Chapter 142: Love at First Kiss


    "Hmm?" Patrick held her in his arms, his deep gaze fixed on her face with anticipation and


    nervousness.


    "Patrick, my answer is - I promise you." Jane''s lips brushed against Patrick''s ear, her breath like a


    fragrant orchid. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."


    Pausing for a moment, she looked up at the man in front of her with tender eyes and cherry-red lips


    parted. "No matter what happens."


    "Jane, I''ve been waiting for this answer for so long." Patrick''s gaze flickered with excitement as he


    bent down to kiss the woman tightly wrapped around him.


    The familiar sensation washed over him again, causing Patrick to catch his breath.


    "Jane... Jane..." His strong arms held onto Jane''s slender waist as he murmured her name


    repeatedly into their passionate kiss.


    The two were locked in an electric embrace without any gaps between them. The feeling surged


    through Jane''s entire body like electricity. She had never felt anything like it before; it made her


    heart race.


    After experiencing life and death together at that moment, Jane finally understood what was truly in


    her heart - she wanted to spend the rest of her life hand-in-hand with this brilliant man named


    Patrick. No matter what happened - even if there was another woman named Candy still lingering in


    his heart - nothing would affect their love now that she knew how she felt about him.


    She wouldn''t let anyone elsee between them; she wanted all of Patrick''s lovepletely


    devoted to only herself! Even if Candy came back one day – it didn''t matter – because Jane would


    never give up!


    The two continued kissing passionately high above thousands of miles from ground level while


    forgetting all fear and panic they had just experienced moments ago when they were unsure


    whether or not they''d survive...


    Taking a deep breath now though, all negative emotions vanished away leaving only romance and


    beauty behind...


    It wasn''t clear how long they kissed until finally ending their irresistible passion-filled embrace which


    left both parties wanting more…


    "I''m happy," said Patrick resting his forehead against hers while smiling faintly at this point since he


    had waited so long for this moment where he could be sure about how much affection existed within


    each other''s hearts without any doubts or fears holding either back anymore…


    "My grandfather gave it to me. He said it would bring good luck, "Jane said, handing it to Patrick.


    Patrick took the ne and looked at it carefully." It''s beautiful."


    "We can try to use it to call for help," Jane exined." Maybe someone will spot our signal. Or..."


    She paused. "Or this ne will bring really good luck?"


    Patrick smiled and nodded." Try it."


    They sped hands and closed their eyes in silent prayer.


    The feeling of helplessness in the sea made them feel lonely and vulnerable.


    But when they were around each other, they felt more determined and courageous than ever


    before.


    Time passed slowly, and after several hours of waiting, suddenly the sound of a ship was heard in


    the distance.


    They looked excitedly in the direction of the sound and sure enough, they saw a fishing boat


    approaching their position.


    "Quickly! Hurry up!" Jane shouted." We''ve been stuck here a long time!"


    Fishermen rushed to rescue them and provided them with food and water. Despite a thrilling


    skydiving ident and several hours adrift at sea, they survived at thest minute.


    Trantion:


    Why didn''t she face her feelings earlier and try dating Patrick? Instead, they waited until now when


    their lives were hanging by a thread. Their situation was truly terrible.


    Jane hugged Patrick tightly as she looked down with trepidation. Below them was a vast expanse


    that could have beennd or water, but Jane had a feeling it was the ocean.


    "Patrick, what do we do now?" Jane asked anxiously.


    Patrick held Jane close as if he were holding the most precious thing in the world. "Don''t worry, we''ll


    figure something out," he said softly.


    "Mm-hmm," Jane nodded gently. At this moment, all she wanted to be was a protected little woman.


    With this man by her side, she wasn''t afraid of anything anymore.


    Their parachute floated slowly downward until they could see whaty below them: an endless sea


    just as they had feared.


    Looking at the vast ocean beneath them made Jane''s eyelids twitch twice in anxiety. They were so


    smallpared to nature''s power!


    "Patrick, it''s the ocean down there," said Jane with furrowed brows. "There''s no food or fresh water


    in the sea; we can onlyst for one or two days at most."


    "I brought food and water in my backpack," replied Patrick with a frown on his face. He had


    prepared for such situations before jumping out of the ne.


    He took out his phone from his pocket and checked it but found no signal.


    "What now?" asked Jane as she looked at Patrick''s phone.


    "No good; there''s no signal," answered Patrick coldly after trying to send Morton their location


    without sess.


    As expected... A hint of disappointment shed across Jane''s beautiful eyes.


    But then Patrick held her hand firmly and said confidently: "No matter what happens, as long as


    we''re together everything will be okay." His fingertips transmitted warmth into hers like he was


    passing on his strength source continuously to her.


    Suddenly an idea came into mind for Jane: "I have an idea."

    "Hmm?" asked Patrick curiously while looking at her intently.


    She took off the ne around her neck that Grandpa gave her on her sixteenth birthday present


    which he imed would bring good luck and handed it over to him:


    "This is my grandpa''s gift for me – this ne brings good luck," exined jane while handing


    over ne "Maybe someone will find us because of its power." She paused briefly before


    continuing "Or maybe…this ne really does bring good luck?"


    "It''s so pretty!" eximed Patrick admiringly after taking hold of it carefully "Let''s give it a try."


    The two sped hands tightly together closed their eyes silently praying earnestly while feeling


    helpless drifting aimlessly on open waters made them feel more lonely than ever before yet being


    beside each other gave them unprecedented firmness and courage despite time passing slowly


    waiting several hourster suddenly hearing soundsing from afar where boats are located both


    excitedly turned towards its direction seeing indeed that there is one fishing boat approaching near


    where they are located shouting loudly:


    "Hurry! Hurry up!" cried jane loudly "We''ve been stranded here for too long!" The fishermen quickly


    rescued both individuals providing food supplies & sources of fresh water even though having


    experienced such thrilling incidents including surviving drifting aimlessly upon open waters for


    several hours ultimately managed to survive thanks to being rescued during critical moments by


    others'' help & support .


    At that time, Grandpa smiled and said to her, "Jane, this ne was specially customized by


    Grandpa for you. Although it looks ordinary, it has a big function."


    Jane took the ne with some confusion and asked curiously, "What function?"


    Old North pointed to the pendant of the ne and asked with a smile, "Do you see this plum


    blossom?"


    "Um." Jane''s gaze fell on the small raised plum blossom on the pendant but still didn''t understand


    what was special about this ne.


    Old North exined, "This is a signal transmitter and the plum blossom is the switch. In the future, if


    someone bullies you, just press the switch and Grandpa will receive your distress signal ande


    to save you."


    "That''s amazing." Jane happily put on her ne but didn''t take it seriously in her heart.


    After all, there were only a few people in this world who could bully her.


    She had never experienced it over these years.


    But since Grandpa said so then it must be useful for seeking his help.


    She just didn''t know if it would work on sea level or not.


    The current situation could only be dealt with as best as possible under difficult circumstances.


    Jane exined to Patrick," This was given to me by my grandpa. He said I can use this to seek his


    help when I''m in danger. Hopefully it works."


    "Let''s try," Patrick lowered his head and looked at Jane''s hand holding onto that ne.


    From its appearance alone there wasn''t anything special about it.


    With slender white fingers, Jane pressed down on that plum blossom switch.


    In an instant, the originally dull-looking ne suddenly began shing green light. The color


    started off light green before gradually deepening into dark green.


    "So signals really can be transmitted!" Seeing how its color kept getting darker while holding onto


    that item, Jane felt pleasantly surprised.


    At same time, she also worried whether or not grandpa would receive their distress signal.
