The discussion continued. Many people began digging up information about Jenny. They all acted pompously.Jenny knew nothing about all this. She was fully concentrating on the boy's surgery. The boy on the operating table was no older than sixteen, but he was on the verge of death. Jenny gritted her teeth. She was determined to save his life.The sky began to darken. Alec discovered that it was already ten o'clock at night. Jenny had been doing this operation for seven hours, and it didn't seem like it would finish soon.Could she do it?As the thought crossed his mind, the lights above the operating room dimmed, and a nurse walked out. "Is the patient's family here?""Yes, yes! Is my son dead?" the woman asked anxiously. This made the nurse frown a little. Why did she feel like this woman wanted her son dead?"The boy is saved. You may handle the hospital procedures below and pay the fees," the nurse said.The moment she heard that her son was saved, the woman's expression shif

"Karen White, you are forty-five years old and unemployed. That boy who went through surgery just now is not your son. He's your stepson. You've never liked him and repeatedly stated that you wish for him to be dead. You seem pretty involved with his car accident preceding this. When the crash didn't kill him, you wanted the doctor to perform surgery on him so he would die on the operating table. This way, you could make this hated stepson disappear and claim tons of money from the hospital. Am I wrong, Karen?"Once he said all this, everyone looked flabbergasted.Could such a horrible person exist?Even if he wasn't her biological son, she shouldn't have wished for his death.Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Karen went pale. She gnashed her teeth and said, "You're making this all up! You just want to help Dr. Walter get away with this!""The police will investigate whether I am speaking the truth. But I should remind you that your actions in the emergency room this aftern

Pain and regret mingled together. She was considering going downstairs to buy some medicine when she heard footsteps at the front door.She looked over and saw Alec. "You didn't leave?" she exclaimed."I only have painkillers. I don't have anything to help with your stomach. You can take this for now." He handed the pills to her and gently gave her a glass of hot water.Jenny didn't care about being polite and gulped them down.Ten minutes later, she felt much better. She sat up and thanked Alec.He glanced at her, his irises dark. After a while, he said, "Do you have a death wish, skipping meals when you have stomach issues?"She sipped the hot water, feeling better. "You know what happened today. Where would I find the time to eat?"She didn't want to perform surgery on an empty stomach either, but one procedure would take six to seven hours. She couldn't stop in the middle of surgery to eat. That would be terrifying. Alec didn't reply. "Are you better now?""Much better."

"Get to the point." Alec rubbed his temples, leaning against his couch. He waited for Paul to speak.Paul muttered for a bit before saying, "Her name is Jenny. She grew up in Orchid Village, but don't underestimate her because of that. She's a beast in academics. She's been skipping grade levels, graduating with a Ph.D. at just twenty-two years old. Then she went abroad for two years before finally returning."Jenny?Why was this name so familiar?However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember where he had heard it."What else?" Alec got up and walked over to the windows, looking at the view of the city at night. No one could guess what was going through his mind."What else?" Paul's voice grew higher. He said playfully, "She didn't work after returning to the country and disappeared from sight. Guess what she'd been up to."Of course, Alec couldn't guess, but he thought of why he couldn't find Jenny before. He'd thought that she had disappeared."What did she do?"

Jenny nearly burst out laughing, but she held herself together. "Yeah. He's a jerk!""Did he hurt you?" Alec's eyes shifted. He wished he could punch the bastard in the face."Yeah." She nodded and said, "We were married for two years, but he never paid me a visit. Don't you think he's a jerk?""He is!" Alec gritted his teeth. A ball of fire surged in his chest. "Who is he?"You, Alec!Jenny bit back her laughter and shook her head. "Oh well. It's all in the past. I want nothing to do with him in the future."Alec couldn't press on when she said that, but he still felt upset. "You don't have to be so merciful towards jerks. If you find yourself in a pinch, I can help you."Jenny noticed that Alec was staring at her. He felt embarrassed. "Don't take this the wrong way. I was just…""Are you pursuing me, Mr. Faust?" she asked.The air around them grew quiet at once. Alec retorted, "Never!"Jenny looked at him with interest. Seeing this, Alec explained, "I'm just helping you on
