Chapter 562
Finally, Lucy got in contact with Patrick.
Patrick and his fellows quickly took the plane to go back. They arrived at the club first.
“… Damn it. I love my hometown!” As soon as they arrived at the club, Gary couldn’t help but say.
It was a thrilling trip in the south Atlantic.
“… I almost die on the deserted island.”
Gary hurriedly took out a bottle of iced beer and drank to calm down.
Alan, a thin and supple man, who was about 1.5 meters tall, was a member of the club. He scolded Gary directly.
“Bah, the deserted island? Do you see the inside of the island?”
As he spoke, he got a few bottles of alcohol from the cellar. After the trip, he thought that he should enjoy good alcohol when he was alive.
Gary yelled at him, “You don’t know jack shit.”
He snatched a bottle of tequila and poured it into his mouth. He drank a lot and the mellow alcohol flowed down his neck.
Gary put the bottle heavily on the table and sneered, “) should take pictures when you were shivering in the storm.”
There was a storm when they were on the plane, which was flying around the south Atlantic.
There were dark clouds. They could hear the thunder and the wind. The plane was shaking and it was as terrifying as the doomsday.
They were scared. What they were afraid of the most on the sea was the storm.
Fortunately, they were safe and sound.
Alan lost his face and said angrily, “Gary, you were so scared that your face turned pale. And you talked nonsense to jump… If Mr. Hopkins didn’t stop you, you would jump and die…”
The people in the club talked. The more excited they were, the more they liked to scold and shout.
Lucy was used to staying with them. She patted the table and said in a raised voice, “Did you encounter a storm on the sea?”
“Didn’t you pay attention to the climate before you set out?”
“We are not nerds. We monitored the climate on time…” They were experienced.
“Mi Hopkins was with us. We analyzed the climate there a month ago and we were on the newest plane… but we didn’t expect it on the sea.”
The climate of the sea was unpredictable and they were prepared.
But the weather was bad when they were on the sea. What’s more, they could not see the panorama of the islands. They saw the pictures from the satellite and flew a plane to inspect, but they found nothing.
“The islands are not far apart. We vaguely saw many mountains. However, there was thick fog. Even on the day, there was still fog around the islands… We wanted to fly the plane more highly to see the islands clearly, and then we encountered a storm.”
“All signals were interrupted immediately.”
“The plane shook uncontrollably and the control system kept alarming…”
When they talked, they still felt scared.
Lucy completed many missions and had encountered many anecdotes. But when she heard it, she was amazed. It was a narrow escape for them.
“… Continue to monitor the climate and report to me at the right time.”
Patrick took a shower. He changed into new clothes and walked out.
When they heard Patrick, they immediately turned their heads, “Mr. Hopkins, you mean… Are we going to the place again?”
God! They didn’t want to die there.
But they knew that it was Patrick who saved them this time. Otherwise, they would die in the sea after the crash.
They were obedient to Patrick. They never thought to disobey him. After Patrick said it, they started to make a plan for the next trip.
They had gone through fire and water with Patrick. They would not have a good life without him.
Patrick valued their talents and paid them high salaries and they were respected.
“… Mr. Hopkins, you do not need to go next time.”
Alan felt that Patrick wanted to know about the islands. He insisted on exploring the islands, so they would risk their life to do it. But Patrick should not take the risk
“He is right. Mr. Hopkins, we will be well prepared next time. We’ll set off after we choose a good day.”
The others agreed.
Patrick’s life was much more precious than theirs. They didn’t study for a long time and didn’t have a high degree, but they knew that they should be grateful and sincere.
Lucy felt that Patrick was looking for something on the islands. Did he want to look for treasure on the islands? No, he could get hot money from the financial market more easily. He was not keen on adventures. He must have other purposes.
Lucy didn’t want to attract his attention, so she didn’t ask Patrick why he was interested in the islands.
Lucy subconsciously lowered her head to keep a low profile.
The other people were talking in loud voices. Lucy didn’t want to speak at the moment.
“… What happened?”
Patrick found that Lucy didn’t look at him deliberately.
Lucy’s face stiffened, “Something happened.” Usually, she would smile and didn’t say it. But she could not smile
now.
The other people shut up and looked at Lucy subconsciously.
“What happened?”
Patrick sat down casually and asked again patiently.
Lucy thought that they were tired after the flight and decided to report to him later… in case that he said that she did nothing.
Usually, Lucy was not so hesitant.
Gary knew her well. He raised his eyebrows and realized that there was something big.
“… There are three things.” Lucy tried hard to say.
“After I lost contact with you, three things happened here.”
“At 5: 36 p.m. the day before yesterday, Ms. Hopkins fell off from the rooftop of the hospital. After emergency treatment, the doctor diagnosed that she was a vegetable.”
Lucy reported in brief as coldly as before.
Patrick didn’t like or care about his ambitious aunts. Last week, they stirred up the shareholders of IP&G Group, but he ignored them
“Who did it?” Patrick asked casually
Lassie had become a vegetable. Patrick was neither happy nor sad. Lassie would never jump off the building herself. And he should tell the truth to his grandfather.
Lucy was a little angry and said, “Brianna!”
Patrick was stunned for a moment. He didn’t react.
Did Brianna do it?
Before Patrick asked, Lucy said the other two things.
“At 11: 55 p.m. that night, a maid in the Hopkins family found that the twins in the nursery were missing. And they have not been found yet. Brianna said that she didn’t take them away and they left with a black cat.”
When the members of the club heard it, they were excited.
“… Black cat? Bullshit.”
“It is a vital thing. Why don’t you tell us earlier?”
They talked about it. It was noisy.
Patrick looked terrible. So many things happened after he left.
Earl, the black cat, took the children away. The Strozzi family sent someone to pick them up. Before Patrick found the islands, they took action.
Christina’s biological father was definitely related to the Strozzi family, who would not leave their children outside. They took the twins away and they would not hurt them.
“… Go on,” Patrick said calmly.
Patrick seemed to realize that the third thing was not simple. He stared at Lucy with his deep and sharp eyes. Lucy felt numb.
She was nervous. She tried to calm down and said, “At 4:52 a. m. that day, Brianna stabbed Christina’s heart with a piece of mirror. Christina bled a lot…”
Patrick was frozen with no expression.
Lucy’s voice was lower, “Christina was rescued. Her vital signs are stable and she is awake in the hospital…”,
“But she…”
Lucy was hesitant. She looked at Patrick and said,” She seemed to forget all of us due to the operation.”
