Chapter 132: Whom Would You Choose

When Jane was twelve, she endured a severe illness, a brush withdeath that erased many memories from before her recovery.

Her grandfather told her that both of her parents had passed awaywhen she was very young.

For years, Jane's impression of her parents was almost nonexistent.Whenever she attempted to recall childhood events, Jane wouldexperience splitting headaches, so most of the time, she intentionallyavoided thinking about them.

But why, at this moment, did a vivid image of a family outing to anamusement park surface in her mind?

It felt so real.

Jane's legs unconsciously led her toward the direction of theamusement park.

Standing at the entrance, she stared intensely inside, struggling torecollect. Fragmented scenes flashed through her mind, causing herhead 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, a large black umbrella opened above Jane, shielding herfrom 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 inastonishment, feeling an inexplicable flutter in her heart.

Under the dim lights, Patrick, in a smoky gray suit, showcased hisperfect 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 acello, echoed in Jane's ear, "You suggested testing our fate. Now thatwe'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. Lipsslightly lifting, he said, "Why are you standing alone like a fool at theentrance 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 thecountryside, right?

Jane's gaze dimmed, her tone carrying a touch of sadness. "They're nolonger in this world.”

“I'm sorry.” Patrick quickly apologized, and there was a hint oftenderness in his gaze as he looked at Jane.

“In fact, I don't even know what my parents looked like. According to mygrandfather, they had an accident when I was very young," Jane sighedsoftly.

"My father also passed away when I was fifteen,” Patrick empatheticallyshared.

Jane nodded. "I miss them a lot."

Patrick suddenly took Jane's hand, leading her into the entrance of theamusement park. “I'l take you to see them."

"See who?" Jane was a bit puzzled but involuntarily followed Patrickinto 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 andinstinctively 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, shewas already airborne, carried by Patrick into the Ferris wheel.

"What are you doing?" Jane was a bit bewildered. What was this manup to?

“Look over there." Patrick's slender hand pointed to the sky. "See thosetwo largest, 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. Inanother place, they silently watch over you and care for you," Patricksaid in a deep voice.

"Really?" Even though Jane knew these were just comforting wordsfrom Patrick, a touch of emotion swept through her heart.

Jane smiled, and as she turned, she almost collided with Patrick'sextraordinarily handsome face.

His three-dimensional features seemed like a masterpiece crafted by adivine hand. His deep, fiery gaze was fixed on her.

In the confined space of the Ferris wheel, the two were so close thatJane could clearly hear Patrick's breath.

Her heart beat a bit faster. Jane averted her gaze and looked out of thewindow.

When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, was it the moment shewas closest to her mom and dad?

The Ferris wheel ascended slowly.

The man beside her brought her an unexplainable sense of peace.

In this moment, Jane seemed to forget her fear of heights andeverything else. In her gaze, there were only the twinkling stars in thenight sky.

When the Ferris wheel reached its pinnacle, the man beside Janesuddenly leaned down, gently planting a fleeting kiss on her cheek.

On her cheek, Patrick's lips carried a burning warmth, creating anelectrifying sensation that surged through Jane's entire body.

"Jane, do you know? The very top of the Ferris wheel is the closestplace to happiness. If lovers kiss at the summit, they will never beseparated 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 andspoke 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 clasped Jane's small hand.Jane's heart pounded like a startled deer, almost leaping into herthroat.

She closed her eyes, then opened them, meeting the silent gaze of theman beside her. "If one day, Candy comes back, and you have tochoose 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 forCandy, and she was afraid that she was just Candy's substitute.
