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 tonehad 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 proudlyshowed off two sparrows he had caught. "Sparrows should taste good."“You... went bird hunting? Why aren't you resting?" Jane scolded himwhile supporting him. "You still have a fever."

“You care about me?" Patrick had just found some wild fruits in theforest and felt much better now that Jane was showing concern for himagain.

Jane rolled her eyes at him. “I don't care about you; who else would Icare about?"

"Oh, there's a cave over there where we can rest,” Jane said as shenoticed a small mountain with a cave on top that could provide shelterfrom the wind and rain along their path back home.

The two walked into the cave which was warm inside and seemed likeanother world altogether.

“You rest here properly; don't wander around. I'll go out to replace someherbs for you," Jane instructed Patrick before heading up to search formedicinal plants on the mountain top nearby.

As luck would have it, she finally found several herbs that could helpclear heat and relieve inflammation after searching carefully on top ofthe mountain.

When she returned to the cave later that day, an aromatic smellgreeted her nose.

“It smells so good!" Jane exclaimed.

Patrick's magnetic voice rang out: "Come over here quickly and try thisroasted sparrow.”

Jane looked over at Patrick holding several roasted birds skeweredonto branches emitting an appetizing aroma.

“Try it," Patrick offered one of them to her but instead of accepting itshe carefully took out some herbs she'd collected earlier applying themgently onto his wound instead saying: "How do you feel now?"

Patrick reached out and hugged her tightly saying: "I'm fine."

The medicinal plants worked wonders as by nightfall his fever subsidedcompletely with his complexion returning back to normal by morninglight making both their hearts feel relieved knowing they were safetogether in such difficult times even though they were stranded inunfamiliar territory far away from civilization without any hope or meansof rescue anytime soon...

After several days passed when Patrick's body recovered almost fullyenough for them both being able think clearly again without worryingtoo much anymore - except one thing nagging at their minds -something wasn't right regarding their plane crash landing... It didn'tseem like an accident after all!

At the moment of the plane crash, he had already had this idea.

His private plane always performed well and was regularly inspected. Itcouldn't suddenly lose control.

The only explanation was that someone had tampered with the planebefore takeoff.

Who could it be?

From the captain to the crew, they were all long-time employees of ThePansy family and had always been loyal.

Besides, this crash left them uncertain about life and death. No onewould joke around with their own lives like that.

He furrowed his sword-like eyebrows. "Actually, I suspect that myfather's death wasn't an accident either.”

"Are you saying... the person who tampered with your plane is alsoresponsible 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 deepvoice.

His crashed airplane must have made explosive news by now. Whoknows what chaos is happening outside? He has a bad feeling about itall.

“You're worried about The Pansy Group?" Jane asked when she sawPatrick's cold expression.

Patrick nodded slightly and said lightly, "Yes."

“In fact, it's not necessarily a bad thing," Jane thought aloud. "Theperson who tampered with your airplane probably thinks you're dead bynow. So he will definitely take further action. As long as we go backquickly, we can replace 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 manybranches which he brought back onto the beach.

"Why did you pick up so many branches?" Jane looked at him curiouslyas she watched him lay out an SOS signal on the sand.

“You'll see in a minute." Patrick smiled then laid out an SOS signal onthe beach hoping any passing planes or ships could see it clearly.Jane nodded her head in agreement; they've been stuck on this islandfor five or six days now while scanning for any passing boats duringdaylight hours hoping someone would rescue them but no luck yet! Shedidn't know if her grandfather received her distress signal either!

Just when Jane began feeling disappointed again suddenly thereappeared in front of her eyesight -a luxurious cruise ship!

"Patrick! A ship is coming!" Excitement filled Jane's voice as shepointed towards where she saw something moving far away from theirlocation on shorelines

She pointed excitedly at a distant luxury cruise ship exclaiming: "Weare saved!"

Patrick followed Jane's direction and saw a super cruise ship sailing onthe sea. He took off his coat and waved it vigorously with hisdistinctively large hands. The people on the ship seemed to havespotted Jane and Patrick, as they were heading towards them.

Finally, someone had come! 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 hergrandfather's!

Excitedly hugging Patrick's shoulder, she exclaimed, “That's mygrandpa's cruise ship!"

Patrick hugged her tightly in return. "Your grandfather must havereceived your distress signal.”

"Mhmm." Jane nodded heavily and waved frantically at the ship whileshouting loudly, "Grandpa! I'm here!"

Old North stood on the deck and let out a long sigh of relief when hesaw Jane and Patrick. Thank goodness his precious granddaughterwas safe.

The cruise ship approached the island but hadn't stopped yet whenJane pulled Patrick up onto it.

"Grandpa, I thought I'd never see you again!" Tears welled up in Jane'seyes as she saw Old North who looked kind-hearted.

"Jane, as long as you're okay." Old North hurriedly held onto hisbeloved granddaughter while examining her from head to toe to makesure she wasn't hurt before he could finally relax.

Jane rubbed her nose with her hand. "I'm fine now thanks to Patricksaving me."

With one step forward after taking a long stride with his legs, Patrickreached out for Jane's hand while looking at Old Pansy with respectbefore respectfully addressing him by saying "Grandfather."

Seeing their intimate actions along with hearing how he addressed himmade Old North understand everything all of sudden; he stroked hisbeard then laughed heartily saying "Haha! You two are finally together;that's great!"
