Chapter 3 Say it Again That You Didn't Do That

"She is fine? That's good to hear. Thank you, doctor." Jane thanked the doctor repeatedly. Betty was a bit sobered up at this time, so Jane comforted her that the crisis had been solved and they were safe now.

The doctor nodded and then got back to her seat.

"Excuse me, Miss, did you go to the storage room before?" Edward stared at Jane while he observed her reactions.

Jane felt nervous to face him, grasping Betty harder. Betty looked at her in confusion, "Miss?"

"It's okay." Jane coaxed Betty first, and then looked up at Edward, answering while nodding, "No, I didn't."

"Thank you for saving us," Jane added after a long time of silence.

The man was unexpectedly skillful to defeat the robbers without taking much effort. Who was he?

Edward focused on Jane all this time, so he had noticed that Jane had grasped Betty.

He didn't respond, only staring at her.

Jane couldn't help wringing the clothes she had put on Betty's body, losing her ability to answer in panic.

Edward didn't leave until they were notified that the plane would land in three minutes. The moment he turned around, Jane finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, I'm thirsty." After Edward took a few steps away, Betty told Jane again.

Edward heard this.

Thirsty. Hot water.

When he got up from the ground, he saw the broken glass beside him.

He thought to himself, "Say it again it wasn't you, Miss Sidney. You had almost broken my head!"

Edward was unhappy after he learnt the truth, but he did not stop.

Seeing him leaving without stopping, Jane was relieved, "Betty, hold on. Soon the plane will land, and then I can get you some hot water to drink."

The plane made a forced landing. When the door of the plane was opened, armed special forces with live ammunition were all standing beside the plane. The guns were loaded and pointed at everyone who got off the plane.

Jane held Betty's hand tightly, holding their passports, air tickets, ID cards, and other documents in her hand, and queuing to get off the plane.

She saw that Edward and Sean went to the special soldier, seeming like they were having a conversation.

And then, Edward joined the special forces to check the passengers' IDs.

Sean was puzzled to find his boss acting like this. After all, he never cared about this before. He only ran into these robbers accidentally and killed them afterwards this time.

But now he was so righteous to help with the checking of the passengers' IDs.

Finally, it was Jane's turn to be checked. She handed her documents to the special soldier who was responsible for inspecting their documents.

"I'm Jane Sidney, a second-grade math teacher of the Viaduct No.1 Primary School. She is my student, Betty Smith." Jane introduced them briefly to the soldier.

The inspector had a detailed check upon Jane's ID card and passport, double checking with Jane a few times, and then turned to check her teacher certificate.

"Let me see," Edward said beside him.

The inspector delivered the document to Edward, "Please, Mr. Pike."

Edward stared at Jane, and then the ID card, the passport, and finally the certificate.

Jane didn't dare to look at him. The wound on his forehead was still bleeding even after binding up. She did hit him too hard.

"She's good." Edward returned the documents to Jane.

Jane's palms were sweaty, and she nodded, "Thank you." After that, she took Betty to follow the crowd in front of her and entered the airport reception room.

Next, they still had to stay here longer for further investigation.

Seeing that many people were calling their families to tell them they were safe, Jane remembered that she had turned her phone off all this time. The hijacking incident was probably a national sensation, so she should tell her brother and the colleagues at school about this.

Turning her phone on, she was stunned to find more than 300 missed calls.

"Ring, ring..." When she was about to make a call, her brother called her first.

"Stephen," Jane answered the phone.

"Jannie, are you alright? You almost frightened me to death! I've made hundreds of calls!" Stephen Sidney was so worried that he couldn't even wait to charter a plane to get by her side, "Where are you? I'll go and pick you up."

"Aren't you going to study national medical?" Jane asked, "Stephen, I promise I'm fine, and I will be back soon. I am in Oakland City now, and it is heard that we'll probably be back to Viaduct City by tomorrow morning."

"Let's have a video chat. I want to see you." Stephen hung up as he said that, and then he signed in his WeChat account, an instant-messaging application.

Jane had to sign in her Wechat account as well and have a video chat with him for a while.

After making sure that Jane and Betty were both okay, Stephen enjoined Jane repeatedly that she should be careful. He didn't hang up until his phone was almost out of power.

Time passed quickly. Since the robbers were already dead, and the investigation was proceeding, the government invited some psychologists to comfort those who were with psychological problems after being hijacked.

Others who thought they were fine could take other planes first.

Therefore, Jane took Betty back to Viaduct City immediately.

When they got off the plane, Stephen, President Smith, and other colleagues of Jane were already expecting them.

After they greeted each other, Betty was taken back to school by other teachers, while Jane was taken home by Stephen.

Once they got home, Stephen served her a wonderful meal, "Jannie, I did this to celebrate your safe return. Just eat as much as you want. I can cook you more if necessary!"

Jane smiled to see so many dishes on the table, "Thank you, Stephen. Join me and enjoy these dishes."

Right after she said that, Stephen's phone rang. He beckoned Jane to eat first, and then he went to the balcony to pick up the phone.

"Huh, Edward Pike, my boss, why do you call me?" Stephen sneered a few times, "What? Someone broke your head? Who did that?"

"You want me to treat you? And you don't want to leave any scar? Well, does it matter if a man has a few scars?!" Stephen smiled and looked at Jane in the dining room, "I gotta go. My sister just got home and I want to have dinner with her."

"You don't want me to go to the hospital? And you want me to treat you in my house?" Stephen gave it a thought, "Fine, you can come here if you want. But you can only come alone. If your men scare my sister, I'll throw all of you downstairs!"

"18, Oxford Street." Stephen gave him his address and then hung up the phone.

"Who is that?" Jane asked as she ate, "Come, have some dishes."

"Just a friend. He'll be here later. Is it okay if he comes here? Do you mind that?" Stephen had seldom invited his friends to home. For one reason, he thought that Jane might mind that; for another, he was kind of a neat freak, so he was afraid that others might stain his tidy home.

But Edward was somewhat special.
