NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 494: Find HerThe Mountaintop Parachute Club had been thrown into chaos, and everyone was panicking. It had been run for over a decade,
and not once had something like this happened. Ethan demanded to speak to the manager of the club and asked him what had
happened.
The manager was sweating buckets, visibly in shock, and all he could do was to blame the employees of the club.
“What on earth happened here? I’ve only been away from the club of two days, but you’ve already caused someone’s life to be
in danger!” The manager was enraged, pointing and cussing at the employees.
“Get to the point,” Ethan grunted.
“Yes, Mr. Larson.” The manager nodded and bowed to Ethan while wearing a flattering smile. Then, the smile on his face
disappeared as he turned his attention to the employees.
“Have you found Mrs. Larson? Is she okay?” One of the employees replied hurriedly, “We’ve received calls from Mrs. Larson and
the instructor. They said that they’re safe and sound now.”
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
“We’ve already called the police and sent people to search and rescue them. Soon, we’ll be able to find them,” the employee
said.

The helicopter roved over the forest as the sound of its propeller resonated in the air. When Janet looked up, she saw a tall man
going down the ladder, which was hanging from the helicopter.
Seconds later, she realized who it was. Ethan was wearing a sullen expression, and his eyes depicted a complicated emotion.
Bruises and wounds were all over Janet’s body. As she stood on the ground, she looked like she was barely able to keep herself
standing. She pursed her lips and looked down, feeling remorseful.
“Honey.”
“Don’t you know how dangerous it is to go skydiving? Janet Larson!” Ethan shouted angrily. Janet didn’t dare to say anything.
“Turn around.” He lifted her arm and her the clothes on her back. Rage filled his eyes as his face turned grim.
“You almost died!” All the wounds on Janet’s body made Ethan feel so sorry for her. Janet just let him chastise her, and she
didn’t bother to argue. Still, she was really scared.
Had she been unlucky, she might’ve actually died this time. While tugging at Ethan’s sleeve, she said timidly, “I’m sorry, honey.”
When he saw the tears in her eyes, his heart softened.
Truthfully, he still had things to say but he couldn’t get mad at her anymore.
“Let’s take you to the hospital first!” Ethan carried her to the helicopter and gently placed her on one of the seats.

happened. So many stuff had happened within just a few days.
“Where did you skydive, Janet? God, that establishment must be horrible! They can’t even guarantee the safety of their
customers!” Based on the tone of Johanna’s voice, she was livid. Her eyes were bursting with anger, and it looked like she
wanted to burn that parachute club to the ground or make them disappear from Barnes.
“I’m so sorry, Mrs. White. It’s all our fault.” The manager of the Mountaintop Parachute Club didn’t know how to explain the
matter. It was true that the accident happened in their club.
All he could do was sigh and lament the fact that he was so unfortunate that such powerful people were enraged in his watch.
After hearing that Janet was involved in an accident, Draco went to the hospital to visit hei. He had a strangely agitated feeling in
his heart when he heard the news, so he wasted no time to rush over
“You can rest in the hospital for as long as you need. Don’t worry about your job at W Marks. I’ll give you permission to take a
sick leave until you’ve fully recovered.”
Seeing that Ethan and Janet’s parents were in the ward as well, Draco said nothing more. After he gave his gift to her, he left
right away. Later on, Ethan put Janet to sleep before leaving the ward to begin investigating the accident. The club’s manager
said to him, “We pay great attention to our customers’ safety. Each time, before they skydive, we make sure that the parachute is
secured and that there’s nothing that can cause an accident. Logically speaking, the chances of the parachute being
malfunctioning are very small.”
As a sign of their sincere apologies, all the staff of the club had come to the hospital. Lila’s instructor came forward and
whispered to Ethan, “I saw that woman touching Mrs. Larson’s parachute package before she jumped. I don’t know if she did
something to the parachute, but you should ask her. She might know something.”
The instructor glanced at Lila as the latter sat on the hospital chair with a forlorn expression.
