Hearing Jane's voice made Sabrina happier than seeing the set of furniture that cost eighteen million. She shed joyful tears as she exclaimed, "Jane, where-"
She was just about to blurt out asking where Jane was, when she remembered what Alex had just said. Alex truly knew Jane extremely well. Though Jane was already well in her thirties, she remained naive. She was incapable of surviving on her own out there and Alex was right when he said Jane would call to borrow money.
Therefore, she proceeded to ask, "Jane, how much do you need? Maybe I could lend you some?"
While Sabrina was conversing with Jane, Alex had already contacted his subordinate to begin tracking the number Jane was calling Sabrina with.
On the other hand, Jane, Noah and Noah's mother were still on their way back to their hometown in the northeast direction, and their path had been filled with obstacles. First, Noah's mother came down with a fever. They had been on the cheapest public bus but because of her sudden fever, they had to get off halfway through their journey and head over to a local town for medical assistance. Once her condition began to look up, Noah's mother refused to continue with the IV treatment, as they had limited cash to spare. The fact that they were three adults meant that
even if they wanted to beg on the street, no one would show them any mercy.
With no choice, Noah carried his mother on his back and the three walked along the high-way, hoping that they could hitch a ride. Lucky for them, they somehow managed to hitch a ride for roughly three hundred kilometers but as soon as they got off the car, Jane started puking her guts out. At first, they thought she might be car-sick but after three days of going back and forth between moving and resting, her condition remained as bad.
Jane thought that she might be suffering from food poisoning from not having her meals on time, and Noah insisted on taking her to the hospital for a check -up before they continued their journey.
