Chapter 147: Saved
Chapter 147: Saved
"Jane, I''m here," Patrick''s voice came from a distance.
Jane felt relieved and hurried towards the sound.
"I told you to wait for me there. Why did you run around?" Jane''s tone had a hint of reproach.
Didn''t this man know he was still sick? He made her so worried.
Patrick, however, didn''t seem to care about his illness as he proudly showed off two sparrows he
had caught. "Sparrows should taste good."
"You... went bird hunting? Why aren''t you resting?" Jane scolded him while supporting him. "You still
have a fever."
"You care about me?" Patrick had just found some wild fruits in the forest and felt much better now
that Jane was showing concern for him again.
Jane rolled her eyes at him. "I don''t care about you; who else would I care about?"
"Oh, there''s a cave over there where we can rest," Jane said as she noticed a small mountain with
a cave on top that could provide shelter from the wind and rain along their path back home.
The two walked into the cave which was warm inside and seemed like another world altogether.
"You rest here properly; don''t wander around. I''ll go out to find some herbs for you," Jane instructed
Patrick before heading up to search for medicinal nts on the mountain top nearby.
As luck would have it, she finally found several herbs that could help clear heat and relieve
inmmation after searching carefully on top of the mountain.
When she returned to the caveter that day, an aromatic smell greeted her nose.
"It smells so good!" Jane eximed.
Patrick''s maic voice rang out: "Come over here quickly and try this roasted sparrow."
Jane looked over at Patrick holding several roasted birds skewered onto branches emitting an
appetizing aroma.
"Try it," Patrick offered one of them to her but instead of epting it she carefully took out some
herbs she''d collected earlier applying them gently onto his wound instead saying: "How do you feel
now?"
Patrick reached out and hugged her tightly saying: "I''m fine."
The medicinal nts worked wonders as by nightfall his fever subsidedpletely with his
complexion returning back to normal by morning light making both their hearts feel relieved knowing
they were safe together in such difficult times even though they were stranded in unfamiliar territory
far away from civilization without any hope or means of rescue anytime soon...
After several days passed when Patrick''s body recovered almost fully enough for them both being
able think clearly again without worrying too much anymore - except one thing nagging at their
minds - something wasn''t right regarding their ne crashnding… It didn''t seem like an ident
after all!
At the moment of the ne crash, he had already had this idea.
His private ne always performed well and was regrly inspected. It couldn''t suddenly lose
control.
The only exnation was that someone had tampered with the ne before takeoff.
Who could it be?
From the captain to the crew, they were all long-time employees of The Pansy family and had
always been loyal.
Besides, this crash left them uncertain about life and death. No one would joke around with their
own lives like that.
He furrowed his sword-like eyebrows. "Actually, I suspect that my father''s death wasn''t an ident
either."
"Are you saying... the person who tampered with your ne is also responsible for your father''s
death?" Jane''s face became serious.
If so, this person would be very dangerous indeed.
"Jane, we need to go back as soon as possible," Patrick said in a deep voice.
His crashed airne must have made explosive news by now. Who knows what chaos is
happening outside? He has a bad feeling about it all.
"You''re worried about The Pansy Group?" Jane asked when she saw Patrick''s cold expression.
Patrick nodded slightly and said lightly, "Yes."
"In fact, it''s not necessarily a bad thing," Jane thought aloud. "The person who tampered with your
airne probably thinks you''re dead by now. So he will definitely take further action. As long as we
go back quickly, we can find out who the real culprit is!"
"You''re right; we need to go back first," Patrick agreed.
He thought for a moment then went into the woods to pick up many branches which he brought
back onto the beach.
"Why did you pick up so many branches?" Jane looked at him curiously as she watched himy out
an SOS signal on the sand.
"You''ll see in a minute." Patrick smiled thenid out an SOS signal on the beach hoping any passing
nes or ships could see it clearly.
Jane nodded her head in agreement; they''ve been stuck on this ind for five or six days now while
scanning for any passing boats during daylight hours hoping someone would rescue them but no
luck yet! She didn''t know if her grandfather received her distress signal either!
Just when Jane began feeling disappointed again suddenly there appeared in front of her eyesight -
a luxurious cruise ship!
"Patrick! A ship ising!" Excitement filled Jane''s voice as she pointed towards where she saw
something moving far away from their location on shorelines
She pointed excitedly at a distant luxury cruise ship eximing: "We are saved!"
Patrick followed Jane''s direction and saw a super cruise ship sailing on the sea. He took off his coat
and waved it vigorously with his distinctivelyrge hands. The people on the ship seemed to have
spotted Jane and Patrick, as they were heading towards them.
Finally, someone hade! They were saved!
Jane''s heart was beating faster and faster.
This cruise ship... looked familiar.
As it got closer to them, Jane finally realized that it was her grandfather''s!
Excitedly hugging Patrick''s shoulder, she eximed, "That''s my grandpa''s cruise ship!"
Patrick hugged her tightly in return. "Your grandfather must have received your distress signal."
"Mhmm." Jane nodded heavily and waved frantically at the ship while shouting loudly, "Grandpa! I''m
here!"
Old North stood on the deck and let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Jane and Patrick. Thank
goodness his precious granddaughter was safe.
The cruise ship approached the ind but hadn''t stopped yet when Jane pulled Patrick up onto it.

"Grandpa, I thought I''d never see you again!" Tears welled up in Jane''s eyes as she saw Old North
who looked kind-hearted.
"Jane, as long as you''re okay." Old North hurriedly held onto his beloved granddaughter while
examining her from head to toe to make sure she wasn''t hurt before he could finally rx.
Jane rubbed her nose with her hand. "I''m fine now thanks to Patrick saving me."
With one step forward after taking a long stride with his legs, Patrick reached out for Jane''s hand
while looking at Old Pansy with respect before respectfully addressing him by saying "Grandfather."
Seeing their intimate actions along with hearing how he addressed him made Old North understand
everything all of sudden; he stroked his beard thenughed heartily saying "Haha! You two are
finally together; that''s great!"
