Semua Bab To Be Yours Again: Bab 881 - Bab 890

Jenny coughed, obviously awkward.Alec had indeed often asked her out during the time he was hospitalized, and she had always refused. She didn't think he'd be talking about it now. Did he have to be so petty?She said nothing else. They would eat in the cafeteria, then. The food there was honestly pretty good, at least to her. As for Alec's tastes, that was none of her business."I saw Zeke in the hospital this morning. He was here to see you, wasn't he?" Jenny asked, curious.Alec nodded. "You say you don't care about me, but you do, really. Haven't you noticed?""What do you mean? Zeke was so noticeable. I would have seen him as long as I wasn't blind." On top of that, everyone in the hospital was talking about it. Even if she hadn't seen him, she would have known.What a pity that Alec couldn't care less about her denial. "He was here to see me. He's caught two of Xavier's killers and wants me to interrogate them.""What?" Jenny instantly grew worried. "They won't give you a

Blake was stunned. Of course. Even if it was Yakov, Zeke would not press charges against him. He might even cover up for him.After a moment's consideration, she had her answer.Xavier's killer couldn't be Yakov. Even if it was, Zeke would clear his name.And if it couldn't be Yakov, there was only one other person.Alec Faust!"Mom, do you think this could be Alec's doing?" Blake asked.Mrs. Watkins was stunned, but then she shook her head. "He probably doesn't have the ability. Besides, the day it happened, Alec nearly died.""Nearly died?" Blake was shocked. After being forbidden from getting involved with the family business, she lost her means of gathering intel. She had no idea about it at all.Mrs. Watkins didn't hide anything from her since it wasn't considered big news. "On the day Luke invited him to the opening of a turf club, he lost his footing and fell down a cliff. He nearly died. Your father thinks it's not because he lost his footing but because Xavier and Luke

She did not continue with the topic and decided to bring up Jolene. "I hear that Jolene did not follow Rowena in the end.""Yeah." James nodded and then smiled. "I knew you would ask about this.""I was just curious about what you were thinking. Otherwise, I'd worry." Jenny thought that Jolene could not compare to James. However, if James accidentally liked Jolene back, she could do nothing about it. She was worried that something like that would happen, which was why she was so anxious to ask him the question.James ate and looked out the window as if considering his answer. Jenny grew anxious.After a while, he said, "I wasn't really thinking. I just thought a free nanny would be nice. I wouldn't be the one at a disadvantage, anyway. Why would I refuse?""You're not someone who has to cut back on a nanny's fees," Jenny said. This excuse was a stretch. It was unbelievable."Well, I just thought it would be too easy to just let her go like that. Making her stay is a sort of pun

Jolene didn't end up kneeling until the morning. She was so tired at night that she had dozed off. She thought that James would scold her harshly in the morning. However, when she woke up, he had left the villa, and she had a blanket around her shoulders.She looked at the blanket, smiling.Jenny had no idea about what had happened between James and Jolene. After her meal with him yesterday, she had no other intentions of interfering. It was between them, after all. Although Jenny didn't like Jolene, she couldn't break them up on purpose.She didn't want to care about it any longer, opting to let things unfold naturally. She went to the hospital to work. It was just like any regular hospital day but with different patients.Sometimes, when Jenny looked at them, she'd wonder if she could save more people if she were stronger."Doctor." A tiny voice interrupted her thoughts. Jenny looked down, seeing a young girl. Her mother was currently under Jenny's care.She bent over and p

Jenny walked out of the director's office. Her work today was basically done. Because of her low spirits, she left the hospital to rest at home.Alec called right at that moment. After his stay in the hospital, their relationship changed for the better. They contacted each other frequently.When Jenny got to the coffee shop, Alec was already waiting."Chilly, isn't it? Here, have something warm." Alec pointed at the hot coffee on the table, expressing his concern.Jenny nodded. The first notes of winter were descending, and the wind was growing frostier. Even her coat couldn't keep her warm. Thank goodness the coffee shop had its heater on. After downing the cup of hot coffee, the cold left her bones, and she grew warm."You got off work early today. Looks like nothing much went on in the hospital today," Alec said. He just wanted to know more about Jenny.Jenny nodded. She was disheartened; perhaps it was because winter was coming and because of the mother and daughter in the ho
