Jenny could tell that he was still angry. She was exasperated. "Not him. Your injuries."Evan said nothing. She continued, "I know you don't like Alec, but Dr. Gaarder is truly a specialist in his field. He's seriously amazing. I hope you'll let him examine you. Maybe there's a chance for you to recover after all.""Is Alec that nice? Jenny, you know of the animosity between us. I don't trust him," Evan said."He just wants you to recover quickly." Jenny knew Alec's character very well. He wanted Evan to get better quickly so she would not have to stay by his side forever. She believed that Alec was not harboring any ill intentions. However, talking sense into Evan would prove to be a challenge.Evan looked at Jenny and asked, "Would you leave me if I never recovered?""Evan…" Jenny was at a loss for what to say."Just answer the question," Evan interrupted.Jenny shook her head. "Of course not. But I hope you'll receive some treatment and recover quickly.""Alright. I'll get s
Jenny learned from the internet that Alec and Blake were keeping in contact with each other. She saw the photos published by the paparazzi. There were even rumors saying that they had already gotten back together and were going to be engaged.Jenny put her phone away. She didn't believe the rumors. She knew Alec's personality well. If he said he wasn't interested in Blake, then he truly wasn't interested. They were together before only as a pretense, much less getting back together now. However, she still felt uncomfortable whenever they met.On the other hand, she had moved in to live with Evan. She had no right to control who Alec met. That would be selfish.She no longer pondered the matter and buried herself in her patients' records, forgetting everything else.When Stephanie arrived at the hospital, Jenny was still on her shift. Jenny was surprised by her sudden appearance. "Why are you here? Are you sick?""I'm great. I came here looking for you." Stephanie was a little upse
They didn't dwindle on the topic of their friendship for long. There was no need to apologize for anything. What they needed to do was to work hard and then meet each other at the top."Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner," Stephanie said, patting her on the shoulder.Jenny hesitated. She was thinking of Evan. She'd promised to accompany him for dinner every day."Are you worried about Evan?" Stephanie had heard about Evan from Paul. As for why she and Paul were still in contact with each other, it was because Paul was like an annoying fly. No matter how often Stephanie swatted him away, he'd find a way to come back to her life. It was truly an exasperating situation.At first, Stephanie had a good impression of Evan. However, once she heard of the request that he had made to Jenny, she changed her perceptions of him."Does he want to control you even on this? Rescuing you doesn't mean taking away your freedom." Stephanie was upset.Jenny saw that she misunderstood Evan and said,
"Would you have gone if he hadn't suggested it?" Stephanie rolled her eyes at her. If Jenny really was the one to suggest it, then she was a fool.Jenny was silent.If Evan hadn't brought it up, Jenny wouldn't have offered to take care of him. She still would have been concerned for him, but she wouldn't have gone so far as to move into his house."You're still young, Jenny. You have to think about your future," Stephanie sighed. She was worried that Jenny was really going to sacrifice her life for this.While speaking, the waiter served them their food. Jenny ate, but her mind was elsewhere.Stephanie asked, "What about you and Alec? I saw you guys getting close to each other before. I thought you were preparing to be with him again.""I did want to before." Jenny did not hold anything back from Stephanie. She was at a loss as to what to do.Stephanie was stunned. "Well, since you've decided to be with him, you shouldn't stay by Evan's side taking care of him. What would that b
Paul Wagner…When Stephanie thought of that man, she frowned on instinct. "I think…that I don't like him anymore."Stephanie was not too sure before. Back then, although she wanted to escape him, she believed he had feelings for her. However, after arriving in Bardoff City and experiencing so many other things, she quickly saw all the red flags in her relationship with Paul.That insane love was wrong from the start."You don't like him anymore?" Jenny was surprised. She didn't think that Stephanie could be so straightforward."Yeah. I don't like him anymore," Stephanie said firmly.Jenny suddenly found it interesting. She rested her jaw on her hand and asked, "Why are you suddenly so sure?""It's actually not sudden at all." Stephanie smiled dryly. "I saw him walking with a girl outside the other day. If I still liked him, I would have felt upset, but I didn't. In fact, I hope he'll be happy with her."Stephanie sincerely wished for Paul's happiness, just not with her.It was
Once they were in the shopping mall, Stephanie began clearing the racks.Although the Walkers were not as wealthy as the Walters, they were still not short of money. Hence, Stephanie could buy anything she wanted without a second thought.After buying herself a few outfits, she bought some clothes for her parents. Then, she looked at Jenny. "Is there anything that you like? I'll buy it for you.""Really?" Jenny smiled. She swept her gaze around the shop but didn't see anything she liked."Really. Who are we? I'd give you my whole person if I could." Stephanie raised her eyebrows flirtatiously at Jenny, who suddenly didn't know where to look.She pushed her away. "I wouldn't want you.""Oh, of course. You already have someone in mind, I know." Stephanie teased her. "The new year is already coming, and you and Alec haven't progressed at all. I'm anxious for you.""Why are you anxious? It has nothing to do with you." Jenny was speechless as she and Stephanie walked into another bou
"Don't you know what first come, first served means? Or is this how the Yews brought you up?" Jenny looked at her coldly, rage steaming off her skin. Melanie had to reconsider her thoughts.She knew about the Yews. Was she also one of the Ten Elites?Although Melanie was arrogant, she was not domineering. She knew what her family's position was.After a few moments, she softened her tone. "Sorry. I didn't notice. Your friend can have it if she likes it."Jenny was surprised. She thought that she would continue being arrogant. She didn't expect her to cave so easily.Jenny looked at Stephanie. "Do you still like it?""No." Stephanie shook her head. Melanie had already tried it on. Even if she hadn't, Stephanie didn't like wearing the same style as someone else. Jenny was not surprised to hear that. She knew what Stephanie was like. "Alright then. We'll let her have it."She looked at Melanie and said, "My friend doesn't like it anymore. You can do whatever you like."Melanie w
The atmosphere instantly grew solemn. Melanie smiled suddenly and pointed outside. "Let's have a chat. I'll treat you all to some smoothies."Jenny looked at Stephanie, who was equally dumbfounded. However, she did not feel opposed to it. "Alright."Melanie paid for the dress she had tried on, and they walked into the smoothies shop downstairs.Jenny couldn't remember the last time she had a smoothie. Most of the time, she had coffee instead because she felt smoothies were too sweet for her liking.They ordered some smoothies. It was then that Melanie picked up where they left off. "Although I know he still likes you, I don't mind. I think it just means that he has depth. Someone like that is worthy of my affection."Her eyes shone when she spoke of Paul. Stephanie felt her chest bloom when she looked at her. She remembered how proud she was to be with Paul before. Then when Paul was unwilling to disclose their relationship and even said he wouldn't marry her, their relationship c
