SWNOVELS Chapter 79 Exciting?
Soon, the music rang out. As the roller coaster climbed, Jane could only feel the wind roaring beside her.
It was so scary. But the downhill was the main point. This roller coaster was designed with a circle.
Jane felt depressed and decided to observe William. One would feel comforted when he saw that other people were struggling in the same situation. Unfortunately, William remained calm with an expressionless face.
William pretended to be serious. So that, no one would discover that he was afraid of heights.
"Darling, my hands feel a little cold."
Although Dayton also sat beside her, Jane directly asked for help from William. She stretched out her hand and held William's hand tightly.
She touched William's palm, which made him tremble.
"Honey, relax."
Jane simpered. Both of them were afraid of heights. Dayton was the only one in the mood and looked around to see the scenery below.
William didn't say anything.
His tired heart stopped him to say anything.
The roller coaster reached its peak and suddenly accelerated downwards.
"Wow!"
Dayton couldn't open his eyes because of the strong cold wind, so he could only feel it with his body.
"Daddy, Mommy, it's really exciting!"
The back row tourists screamed one by one, and Dayton also followed to scream out. The difference was that he did it with excitement but not fears. "Exciting?"
The simper on Jane's face had already shattered and was replaced by fear.
This would be the first and also the last time for her to ride on this roller coaster! Now, Dayton's expectation has been satisfied. Jane decided not to ride on it again. Fifteen minutes later, Jane got off with a pale face and leaned against William, as soft as a noodle.
It wasn't just her. Many tourists also had the same feeling, which made her feel more comfortable. "Is Mommy scared?"
Dayton blinked his eyes, full of doubts. And he thought that it was very fun and not scary at all.
"I am not afraid. It's... my legs are numb after sitting for a long time."
She couldn't lose her face in front of her son and tried to defend herself.
"Auntie, are your legs numb too? That's what my mom said."
A little girl with two braids said and pointed at the woman lying on the ground.
Her mother got off and only said that her legs were numb, and it would be OK. She fell on the ground.
Someone surrounded her and whispered, but no one stepped forward.
Jane was surprised and brought the little girl forward.
Her mother's lips were blue and purple, and she seemed to have fainted.
'Is this a symptom of a heart attack?' Jane wondered.
"Call the emergency number. Send her to the hospital!"
Jane was shocked. People who had acrophobia, high blood pressure, or heart disease were forbidden to ride the roller coaster.
This woman loved her child.
"Mommy, are that aunt's legs really numb? Why did she black out?"
The paramedics arrived and took the fainted woman away. Dayton pulled Jane's hand and asked.
"That aunt's legs may feel numb. But that is only a symptom of something serious happening on her."
That was what Jane could tell. Anyway, she couldn't explain it more clearly, neither did Dayton could understand.
"Then, if you should tell me when you're not feeling well."
Dayton grabbed Jane's hand and said. He didn't want her to black out, like that woman.
William tried to calm down. He felt a little jealous that Dayton cared so much about Jane while he didn't care about William at all.
The rest of the projects weren't that scary. The high-altitude projects were rather moderate, and the couple could barely deal with them.
Dayton was curious about everything and even took two turns on the merry-go-round.
Seeing Dayton was so happy, Jane thought this journey to the amusement park was worth it. She held her phone and kept taking pictures of Dayton.
"Sir, madam, why don't you take a picture as a souvenir?"
A man asked while holding a camera.
He earned his living by taking snapshots in the amusement park. As long as the photo was taken, it would be developed and protected by a film, just in one minute. Many tourists would choose this snapshot when they were tired of troublesome printing and wanted to make something as a memorial.
Today was New Year's Day. There were not so many tourists. And the weather was cold. This man didn't earn a lot today.
He solicited business nearby and happened to see Jane taking pictures of her son. Then, he tried to ask them if they needed a snapshot.
He had just photographed it with his own professional equipment and showed it to Jane, "Just like this one, what do you think of it?"
In the photo, Dayton was laughing loudly as he waved his victory hand in the direction of Jane and William.
"That's great, but you can't keep this negative film."
Dayton was the successor of the Duncans. Before he grew up, Jane, as his mother, needed to protect him in all aspects.
The photo was taken very well. Jane was planning to make an album for Dayton. She decided to pay this man to take a follow shot. "Madam, it's my pleasure. Just call me Brody."
Brody grinned and introduced himself. He wanted to take a family picture for them first.
"Darling, how do you like it?"
Jane suddenly realized that Dayton has already been five years old, but they hadn't had a single family photo yet.
That sounded a little miserable.
William nodded without saying anything.
The photo in his office was taken when Dayton was still wearing split pants. It was time to change it.
Brody followed behind the three of them and made a photo album at his fastest speed.
Jane was very satisfied and generously paid Brody another thousand.
It was already past twelve. Dayton was so devoted that he began to feel hungry until he arrived at the amusement park exit.
"The food is saved in the car. Let's go and get it."
Jane put away the photo album and took out the dishes she had prepared carefully from the trunk. Braised pork, braised chicken with black pepper and flammulina, fired shrimp and fired lettuce, as well as the bone soup and Dayton's favorite biscuits and pudding.
The dishes were in an insulation bucket and the temperature was just right.
William picked up a dish and said, "It would be better if there was a dish of spicy boiled fish."
His stomach was not so strong. So every time, Frederic would order something that wasn't spicy at all. And thus, no one knew that William loved spicy food.
"Next time, when your stomach becomes stronger, you can have a taste of spicy boiled fish."
William took the order initiatively, which surprised Jane a little, but she quickly accepted. She seemed to have started to know his taste and preferences.
"Remember the last jewelry charity dinner? Your jewelry design was pretty good..."
It was said that the jewelry that Jane designed was sold out at a crazy speed.
William had personally promised to spend a portion of the sales on charity. So, he took a look at the report.
"This does not show how much my design is loved. It does show that goods with a slight degree of luxury are more acceptable to that public, compared to the high end."
One of the Duncan Group's two jewelry companies has been losing money, while the other one which Jessica took charge of has been making a small profit.
Most of the materials used for slightly luxury jewelry were artificial crystals, and the cost was not high. As long as they could reach the sales standard, they would not lose money. "What do you think?"
On their way home, the couple had their first conversation about the Duncan Group's enterprises. William wanted to hear Jane's opinion.
"I have a small question. Why does the Duncan Group keep a company with losses and low profits? It doesn't seem to be your usual practice to invest unnecessary manpower and resources in the unnecessary company."
Within the Duncan Group, the jewelry company was not important. It was not well-known and could get closed down at any time.
The Duncan Group was involved in a wide range of fields. That was why the jewelry company was not necessary. Especially since the jewelry company did not earn profits and only caused some negative effects.
