Chapter 1039 Something Happened
Patrick and Jane sat in the car, both of them frowning because Mike wanted to invite them back to discuss cutting off relations.
The atmosphere in the car was naturally not a happy one. In fact, Jane had always thought that Mike was still acceptable.
Compared to other people, he was considered a decent person within the family.
But if compared to the kind and gentle Mike in Jane’s mind, there was a gap.
If it weren’t for the conflict between their children’s situation and Patrick’s company’s interests, Jane really wouldn’t have wanted to reach this point with Mike.
Of course, Jane couldn’t blame anyone but Mike himself.
Since he had chosen to stand on Harrison’s side and with the others, he had completely taken an opposing position to Jane.
She was simply thinking about her own thoughts, so Jane’s change in attitude was understandable.
“Have you made up your mind? Are you really going to make the decision this way?”
Jane looked at Patrick and asked this question. If he truly regretted it, Jane might consider Patrick’s feelings seriously.
“It doesn’t need to take so long. You have suffered too much already. Let’s leave it at that. As for how to actually choose, let’s rely on our own hearts.”
“I don’t want you to suffer any more grievances, and I don’t want any more unexpected events regarding this matter. I already feel a bit exhausted.”
Having such a family, how could Patrick not feel exhausted? Especially with these things happening, it made him feel speechless and angry.
But what else could be done? So for him, some things had to be left to nature, while others required his firm determination.
“Okay, no matter how you choose, I support you. I just don’t want you to be troubled by this matter!”
It’s important to understand each other, so Jane spoke these words.
“I understand your thoughts. Don’t worry, I have already decided what to do. It’s more like what I said just now, so we just need to go see Mike.”
Patrick believed that if one day the people in the family truly understood or sincerely repented, he might consider accepting them again.
Of course, this had specific conditions. Patrick would only propose accepting them if Jane accepted them first.
Otherwise, for Patrick, who had been deeply hurt by such matters, how could he let himself go through it again?
And he definitely wouldn’t let Jane go through it again.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
After the two got out of the car, they went straight into the house. Also, because of the current situation, Patrick didn’t immediately start yelling like before.
When they pushed open the door, they saw that Mike was lying on the ground alone, as if he had suffered a sudden illness.
But looking at the situation in the house, it didn’t seem like a medical emergency at all. Instead, it looked like a scene of a robbery, messy and chaotic.
“What happened, Mike? What happened to you?”
Patrick couldn’t care about anything else and immediately hugged Mike, looking at him with his hand over his chest.
He knew that it was likely a heart attack, so he urgently said to Jane.
“Quick, call for emergency medical help!”
Jane didn’t hesitate and immediately dialed the phone. Patrick took emergency measures and waited for the ambulance to arrive.
He didn’t know what to do in this situation. He simply wanted to save Mike’s life first and then figure out the rest.
However, he also wanted to see what had happened at the scene, but there was no time for that now. Jane was by his side, assisting him all the way.
At this moment, neither of them was thinking about severing relations anymore. For the sake of one person’s life, any relationship had become unimportant.
This was something Jane had realized during this period. If she hadn’t figured it out, how could she have had the attitude she showed when facing the crazed Melissa?
“Quick, perform CPR and first aid. I’ll get a pillow to elevate his head. Maybe it will make him more comfortable.”
Jane quickly went to the sofa and fetched a pillow, along with some other items, placing them under Mike’s body.
By the time the sound of the ambulance outside could be heard, medical personnel had already rushed in and nodded upon seeing the first aid measures Patrick and Jane had taken.
Patrick had already made the call and arranged for others to come.
When Mike was loaded onto the ambulance, Patrick instructed everyone at the hospital to take good care of him.
Only then did he take Jane back to the yard, worried that someone might tamper with the scene.
Therefore, it was necessary to investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible, to find out what had happened.
“You saw it just now, right? This messy house doesn’t look like it was caused by a sudden illness. Even if someone is experiencing a health crisis, the chaos would be limited to the immediate surroundings!”
Jane nodded upon hearing Patrick’s words. She had also noticed that the entire house was in disarray, as if it had been ransacked.
Now that they were back in the house, although they didn’t know what was inside, luckily, the house had surveillance cameras installed because of Mike’s old age.
“Let’s take a look at the surveillance footage. That will give us the answers!”
Jane opened the computer where the surveillance footage was stored. As she watched the playback on the screen, she gently tapped the keyboard to increase the playback speed.
“If we were to watch the normal playback from the past twenty-four hours, it would be too time-consuming. So, I’ve increased the playback speed threefold.”
“When we spot any abnormal situations or someone entering, we can slow it down and examine the footage.”
Jane and Patrick watched the surveillance footage, but they didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
However, they did notice one thing: there was no one around Mike. How could an elderly person like him be left without anyone to take care of him?
In fact, what they saw from the surveillance footage was exactly that, which made Patrick a little angry.
He didn’t know the reason why someone would leave Mike alone at home, completely disregarding him.
As they continued to investigate the surveillance footage, they did discover some servants and maids moving around the house.
