Chapter 141: Now I'll Tell You the Answer
"What? The plane is out of control?!"
How could this happen! The plane was perfectly fine, how could it suddenly lose control?
Jane's heart raced with panic and fear, all rushing to the surface in that moment.
Patrick patted Jane's shoulder and stood up. His handsome face was unusually cold and serious. “I'll go check it out."
As he spoke, Patrick walked towards the cockpit.
“I'l come with you," Jane said, her face pale.
She had always been afraid of heights, and the intense shaking of the plane made her feel sick to her stomach.
"Mm," Patrick responded with a single syllable sound. He reached out his right hand to embrace Jane into his arms and spoke softly, “It's okay. Don't be scared."
The plane continued to shake violently as they slowly made their way towards the cockpit. Every step felt like a struggle for Jane as she fought against an overwhelming sense of panic.
Thankfully, Patrick held onto her tightly which gave her an unprecedented sense of safety.
The two quickly arrived at the cockpit where Patrick frowned at the captain asking him what was going on.
Sweat dripped down from Captain's forehead as he frantically tried to operate various controls while his face turned deathly white: "It's no use! I can't control it anymore! The plane is about to crash!"
Crash?!
Jane gasped for breath; how could this be happening? If they crashed then everyone on board including herself would die...
She told herself that she needed to stay calm but fear swept over every inch of her body making it hard for her think clearly or act rationally. She looked helplessly at Patrick beside him asking: “Patrick what should we do?"
"Don't be afraid,” he replied firmly while holding onto Jane's hand tightly: "We'll be okay."
Then he immediately turned back around addressing Captain again: “You need calm down now; try your best keep us steady until we reach a safe altitude before we jump off with our parachutes.”
Captain nodded shakily in agreement while saying: "I'll do my best..." This particular aircraft owned by Patrick had been specially designed equipped with parachutes so that passengers can safely jump off during emergencies such as these situations.
Patrick ordered two other crew members onboard who were responsible for bringing out all necessary equipment required for jumping off safely using parachutes whenever necessary.
"Patrick are we really going have jump off?" asked Jane clinging onto him looking helpless and pale.
She was terrified - ever since she was little girl she had always feared heights - especially falling from such great heights...
Jane couldn't bear thinking about what might happen if they didn't make it through alive...
"Jane, listen to me. The plane is out of control and jumping out with a parachute is our only chance of survival,” Patrick said with a serious expression.
“But I'm scared... I have a fear of heights,” Jane murmured.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you," Patrick reassured her in a gentle voice, his deep gaze filled with determination.
The situation was extremely critical and Patrick calmly directed the pilot to lower the altitude and slow down.
“It's safe now." Patrick glanced at the instrument panel. The plane was now at an altitude and speed that met the conditions for jumping out with parachutes.
However, the shaking of the aircraft became more intense. The plane could not hold on much longer; it would soon crash and explode! "Hurry up and jump!" The cabin door opened, and Patrick calmly directed everyone on board to put on their parachutes one by one before jumping off.
Soon there were only Captain North, as well as Patrick and Jane left on board.
"Mr. Pansy, Miss North, jump quickly!" Captain North wiped off cold sweat from his forehead while setting up parameters for the aircraft. Patrick frowned slightly then pulled Captain North aside saying “You go first! Hurry!"
Captain North looked deeply into Patrick's eyes; his gaze shimmered with gratitude. "Mr. Pansy, Miss North please take care.”
With that said Captain jumped off quickly disappearing from Jane's sightline
"Jane get ready.” Patrick tied their parachutes together firmly around their bodies then tightly hugged her strong arms around her body "Patrick... I'm scared...” In this high altitude looking down below made Jane feel blank in her mind; extreme fear spread throughout her entire body like ants crawling all over it
"Close your eyes; I'll count to three then we'll jump together.” In low tones close to Jane's ear he spoke reassuringly
Jane took courage closing her eyes tightly holding onto him tightly they both jumped into vast sea clouds below them screaming loudly due to sudden weightlessness feeling
"Jane hold on just a little bit longer we'll open our parachute soon." Alongside Patricks magnetic voice opening up above them finally releasing them from discomforting weightlessness making Jane breathe easier again
"We're okay now." With a low husky tone in his voice sounding near whispering he spoke next to Janes ear
Opening up slowly she saw nothing but endless clouds surrounding them both floating along like they were in some sort of boat surrounded by water but instead surrounded by clouds which could sink anytime if not careful enough
She softly asked "Patrick will we die?"
"No." He held her tightly, as if holding the most precious thing in the world, with such firmness and care.
"Really?" Jane nestled in Patrick's arms, her hands wrapped around his neck. With his comfort, her fear gradually subsided.
Patrick lowered his head and looked deeply at her. His tone was incredibly firm as he spoke, "Believe me!"
"Mmm." Jane nodded heavily.
"Are you still afraid?" Patrick's gaze was softer than ever before. Meeting his eyes, Jane smiled lightly. "With you here, I'm not afraid." The two slowly fell from high up in the air.
Jane leaned against Patrick's chest so closely that she could hear his heartbeat clearly.
Memories flooded back suddenly and vividly to her mind: Patrick had protected her time after time and risked everything to save her. He had repeatedly said to her,"Jane don't be afraid; I will protect you."
He told her,"Jane, I am pursuing you now. The woman I want to spend my life with is you."
She lifted up her head and looked at the man who held ontoher tightly. His handsome face was imposing, his skin white, his features three- dimensional, his deep black eyes, a straight nose, and sexy lips. Even in such a dangerous situation he remained calm. His whole body exuded an innate nobility like a born king.
At this moment, a kind of unprecedented indescribable tremor spread throughouther body without warning.
Her heart beat fasterand faster. Jane closedher beautiful eyes. When she opened them again, a strange light shonein them. She whispered,"Patrick, I'll tell you my answer now."
