Chapter 490 It Must Be Related to Patricia
"Things might not be that bad. Gabriel might have a chance of survival."
Hearing this, Jessica's eyes widened suddenly.
Grabbing Vincent's sleeve, she asked through her tears, her voice trembling, "Really? Vincent, don't lie to me."
"Please, tell me seriously and solemnly, is this all true?"
Vincent gripped her shoulders, his deep eyes looking at her calmly and assuredly, "Yes, Jessica, I can tell you very seriously and responsibly that everything I just said is true. The airline has already reported the incident, and the police have found two survivors in the nearby waters."
"These two people have been rushed to the hospital, and their chances of survival are pretty good."
These words were undoubtedly a shot of adrenaline for Jessica.
It was also the best medicine for her at this moment.
Gabriel had a chance of being alive.
God had shown her mercy.
It turned out that everything wasn't just her obsession and stubbornness; there was hope.
"That's great. Thank you, Vincent, thank you for bringing me such good news."
"I don't even know how to thank you."
Vincent handed her a few tissues and said gently, "The best way to thank me is to take care of yourself. When Gabriel comes back, I hope I can give him a healthy and happy version of you."
"Okay."
Jessica nodded and immediately wiped away her tears.
"By the way, you just said there were two survivors. What about the others? Are they still searching?"
"We've investigated. The terrain where the plane crashed is quite complex. Some people fell into shallow waters, some into deep waters, and some onto nearby deserted islands."
"The survivors were found in the shallow waters and managed to crawl to the shore."
Jessica's heart tightened again, "So you mean if they fell into deep waters or onto the deserted island, they might already be..."
She couldn't finish the sentence.
Although it was cruel, Vincent explained seriously.
"Those who fell onto the deserted island are easier to search for. The salvage work in the deep waters is very difficult, but we've managed to salvage some. As for Gabriel, we haven't found his body yet. He's a very good swimmer, so I think he has a good chance of surviving."
"Yeah." Jessica nodded in agreement, "You're right. Gabriel is an excellent swimmer, so I believe he can escape. He might just be temporarily lost or injured and recovering somewhere."
"When he recovers, he will come back to find me."
Seeing the hope in Jessica's once-lifeless eyes, her gaze seemed to shine. Vincent felt a huge sense of relief.
Three days later, Jessica's health had improved significantly, and she was ready to be discharged from the hospital.
At this time, Oscar brought some bad news.
"Mrs. Walton, the news of Mr. Walton's accident has been leaked. Now the entire company is in a panic, the stock has plummeted, and the company has suffered unprecedented damage."
This news was within Jessica's expectations.
After the plane crash, although they tried their best to suppress the news that Gabriel was also on the plane and had crashed, there are no secrets that can be kept forever.
Moreover, contemporary media were very well-informed, each with extraordinary abilities.
They couldn't hide it for long.
For the sake of attention, they would report Gabriel's plane crash extensively, and in doing so, some people could reap huge benefits.
So, who would be the biggest beneficiary?
The answer was clear: Patricia and Jack.
At that moment, it seemed that clarity was dawning, and many truths were finally surfacing.
In the past, Jessica was reluctant to use the worst and most malicious thoughts to speculate about them.
Because she thought no matter how much Jack hated Gabriel, Jack and Gabriel were biological brothers. They shared the same father. What Jack wanted might just be money and power. How could it come to the point where he had to act so drastically?
Maybe not just her, but even her family had never thought of this.
So, they never took any protective measures.
At that moment, it seemed that they were too naive and simple.
In this world, some people's evil and malice were beyond their imagination and estimation.
She was no longer a child, so she wouldn't believe there were so many coincidences in this world.
Coincidentally, Patricia asked for Jack's pardon and was refused;
Then Danielle had a car accident and fell into a coma;
And then, Gabriel's plane crashed.
Although coincidences happen, it's unlikely for such a series to occur. And it must be man-made.
"Oscar, how's the investigation on Patricia going?"
"I've checked. Patricia has been staying in her small villa these days, rarely going out, with no unusual behavior."
"No." Jessica shook her head firmly and said, "For Patricia, her normal behavior is the biggest oddity."
"Mrs. Walton, please elaborate."
"Patricia is not someone who would let things go easily. If mom's car accident had nothing to do with Patricia, Patricia would dress up meticulously and even come over to show off."
"Over the years, Patricia has always held a grudge against mom. With such a rare opportunity, Patricia would never let it go."
"But Patricia didn't come, which is very abnormal."
After hearing Jessica's answer, Oscar nodded repeatedly, "Mrs. Walton, your analysis makes a lot of sense."
"How's the investigation on the driver? Did he take any money?"
"No, we've checked all his bank accounts and related information, and there are no large deposits."
"Check again. Patricia might have used cash. Check if there have been any significant changes in his family recently, like a sick relative needing money, a child needing school fees, or a good job or position being arranged. These could all be evidence of their transaction."
Jessica's words enlightened Oscar.
"Mrs. Walton, you surprise me. You've thought of things I hadn't considered."
"Maybe it's related to my profession as a doctor. I've encountered similar situations. More importantly, Vincent guided me in this direction. In a way, Vincent is the truly remarkable one."
"Then I must thank Mr. Lucas," Oscar said.
But then, Oscar thought of an important issue and became even more worried.
