Suddenly opening her eyes, Jane found herself surrounded by the cabin's overhead lights as the plane continued its smooth flight.
Jane took a long breath, relieved that it was just a nightmare...
"Jane, how are you feeling?" Several concerned voices spoke simultaneously.
Jane, holding her chest, with lingering fear, shook her head. "Nothing, just had a nightmare."
The dream had felt so real.
Real to the point it seemed like an actual event.
Why would she dream such a strange dream?
Could it be because of being nauseated by Candice these past few days?
Osborn glanced at Jane, seeing her pale face and sweat on her forehead.
Concerned, he spoke, "Jane, you look awful. Are you sure you're okay?"
Jane forced a smile. "I'm fine."
"I'll take a look." Rory stood up and walked to Jane.
Bending down slightly, he placed his index finger on Jane's pulse.
After two minutes, Rory smiled and said, "Nothing serious. Probably because you've been too tired and mentally stressed these past few days. Just rest, and you'll be fine."
"Okay." Jane regained her composure. "Thank you, Uncle Newton."
These past few days had indeed been exhausting for her-trapped in a cave after an avalanche, two days of constant anxiety, and rushing back to Guavo after being rescued. Even with her good physical condition, it took a toll.
"Give me a cup of lemon water," Patrick suddenly spoke, addressing the flight attendant.
"Mr. Pansy, please wait a moment." The flight attendant smiled and respectfully replied.
Soon, she brought the lemon water and handed it to Patrick. "Mr. Pansy, here's your lemon water."
Patrick took the cup and turned, passing it to Jane. "You like lemon water. Drink some; it'll make you feel better."
Jane hesitated for a moment but instinctively took the cup. The touch of Patrick's palm against her fingertips caused her heart to skip a beat.
Did Patrick still remember that she liked lemon water?
"Paddy, I want lemon water too." Candice tightened her grip on Patrick's hand, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes, as she nudged his arm.
Patrick, expressionless, told the flight attendant, "Bring another cup of lemon water."
"Thank you, Paddy." Candice leaned close to Patrick's ear, flashing a provocative smile at Jane where he couldn't see.
Frustrated, Jane placed the lemon water aside.
No matter how she looked at it, Candice didn't seem like the gentle and understanding girl Patrick described.
It seemed she needed to investigate this Candice more thoroughly.
After several hours of long-distance travel, the plane finally landed smoothly at Guavo's airport.
"Uncle Newton, let's go to the hospital to see Old Pansy now." The moment the plane landed, Jane couldn't wait to head to the hospital.
Rory nodded. "Let's go."
Morton had already arranged a car, and the group hurried to the hospital.
In the hospital room, Dr. Pater, informed in advance, was waiting for them.
Beatrice and Melissa were also in the room, keeping vigil by Old Pansy's side.
