All Chapters of To Be Yours Again: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

A while later, Sam finally let go of Yvonne. He appeared hesitant to speak."What's wrong?" she asked, sensing his hesitance. After some thought, he decided to be upfront with her. "My dad had a talk with me just now. He said that…we probably can't bail out your family.""Why?" Yvonne gasped in shock. She married Sam because she needed their financial support. Without it, the Dickmans would go bankrupt. She didn't do all of that out of love for her family. She merely understood that she had to protect them, for she would lose her standing in the Blooms if the Dickmans went down.Feeling guilty, Sam couldn't bring himself to look her in the eyes. "Alec talked to my dad before, and he said he'd bring down your family if we were to help you out. If we did nothing, he'd hold back too."All color drained from her face. She bit her lip hard and hissed, "Alec Faust!""Yvonne, don't lose sleep over it. We should feel glad that Alec promises not to hurt your family. Perhaps your dad coul

Clutching her first-aid bag, she started the rescue mission with the other villagers. Since they had no technology, they could only shout and wait for responses from beneath the rubble. Once they detected a response, everyone would stop and dig through it.Even though some victims were rescued successfully, the rescue mission was too slow to be effective. Jenny felt anxious as the clock ticked away. However, there was nothing she could do about it."Chief, is the landline connected?" After performing first aid, Jenny went up to the village chief to ask. In their situation, they needed to establish contact with the outside world as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the chief shook his head, looking despondent. "No. We only have one landline in the village. But the cables were damaged, and we couldn't find anyone to repair them right away. I'm afraid we'll be cut off for a while."Jenny frowned and stared at the collapsed houses they had yet to check. She was sorrowful and pleaded, "

"Dr. Walter? Is that Jenny Walter? What happened to her?" Alec's expression became serious, and he stared intently at the chief. The chief froze upon seeing the grave look in Alec's eyes, but he soon recovered. "She's buried under a collapsed house."Alec almost lost his balance from hearing that. "What?"Despite his speedy arrival, he was still too late for her. Standing in front of the rubble where she was buried, he immediately commanded people to start digging. As he had gone in a hurry, he only brought some simple tools instead of huge excavating machines. Even so, using the tools was much better than having the villagers dig with their hands. The villagers immediately jumped into the rescue mission after receiving the tools. Underneath the rubble, Jenny and Justin huddled in a corner. She ignored the pain in her right calf and scanned the area for a way out. She was discouraged when she realized they were trapped without any chance of escaping."Jenny, am I going to die he

Jenny blushed at the village chief's assumption. She was about to clarify her relationship with Alec, but he spoke at the same time, "Let's get your wound treated. I've asked Vincent to bring a rescue team here. They should arrive soon.""Okay." She didn't object to it because she needed to treat her right calf injury lest it became infected.Alec helped her to a temporary tent. He immediately got a pair of scissors and cut off her jeans at the calf area to reveal a bloody wound."I'll do it myself." She felt a little embarrassed, His presence was touching enough for her, and she would not expect more from him. Ignoring her, he went to work. He rinsed, disinfected, and bandaged her wound seamlessly. This came as a surprise to her. When he was done, he reminded her, "Get a good rest, and don't move around.""I'm fine, but there must be a lot of injured villagers. I need to quickly treat their wound." She was the only doctor around. Alec frowned at her words. She was his priority

In Jenny's eyes, Alec was never a kind and merciful person. He went silent because he understood what she was implying. "I'll turn in the evidence proving she had hired the assassin, but the Blooms will definitely help her out. I assume that she won't go to jail.""You have the capability to drag someone down if you put your mind to it." She chuckled, thinking that Alec was making excuses."Jenny, I probably haven't told you stories from my childhood. Are you interested?" He suddenly changed the topic and looked at her as he took a trip down memory lane.She was confused by the random mention and thought he deliberately wanted to change the topic. She felt infuriated but didn't refuse to listen because she was interested in his past.A long time ago, Alec's dad and Max's mom eloped, leaving Alec and his mom behind. He was a young child then, but he was acutely aware of the changes in his family. Despite that, he was sensible enough not to ask questions. Instead, he gave his best in
