Stephanie pushed Jenny back to her ward, and with great effort, she managed to get Jenny back in bed. "Ah, I'm so tired," she complained."You've worked hard, Steph. Thank you," Jenny said, feeling a bit embarrassed."Now you know how hard it was for me. When you asked for my help before, why didn't it cross your mind how tiresome it was?" Stephanie questioned irritably, feeling a little annoyed.Jenny chuckled, knowing that Stephanie wasn't really angry. "How's your relationship with Leonard going? You haven't contacted me in a long time."On the day Max and Jade got married, Stephanie and Leonard got together as well. After that day, the two of them hadn't seen each other. It had been several months since then, and now it was summer."It's going okay. I didn't know how busy work at the police station could get. But after becoming his girlfriend, I know that better than anyone else now." Stephanie couldn't help but complain whenever she talked about Leonard."You know, they do
Jenny spent a long time in the hospital room, talking a lot, but it was always the same thing—she hoped he would wake up soon. As long as he woke up, she was willing to promise him anything.After leaving Alec's hospital room, Jenny looked at Vincent and asked, "Vincent, can you help me put an extra bed in his room?""Miss Walter...""He's my boyfriend, so I should take care of him." On top of that, Alec was injured so grievously because he protected her from the worst.When he was in the ICU, Jenny couldn't take care of him. But now that he was in a normal hospital room, she wouldn't miss the opportunity to do so.Vincent could see Jenny's determination, so he could only agree. "Okay."Then, Vincent went to make arrangements. Stephanie was still there, feeling somewhat speechless. "Alec will be fine. You don't need to take care of him personally.""I know. I just want to put my mind at ease." If they weren't in the same room and something happened to Alec, she wouldn't know.S
Vincent quickly came in with a doctor, and after a brief check, it was determined that Alec's injuries had improved; at least, he was no longer in critical condition. However, he needed to lie in bed for a while.After the doctors finished their examination, they quickly left. Vincent poured Alec a glass of water to let him moisten his lips. "Mr. Faust, you can't eat yet. You have to bear with it for now.""Understood. You're dismissed for now," Alec said, voice slightly hoarse.Vincent got up and left, leaving only Jenny and Alec in the ward. At this point, they could finally take a good look at each other.Both of them were sitting halfway up against the headboard of the bed. They wanted to get closer to each other but couldn't. They could only smile wryly."Why did you come to my room?" Alec was the first to speak, with a hint of teasing in his voice, trying to ease the somewhat oppressive atmosphere between them.Jenny didn't answer but asked him, "Why did you protect me then
Alec and Jenny had the same thought—they both didn't think it was an accident."I guess great minds think alike. I've already asked Vincent to investigate this. We should have the results soon," Jenny said.Alec nodded with a smile. "Jenny, you're capable in your own right. Even if something really happens to me in the future, I believe you can handle everything well.""Alec!" Jenny's tone suddenly changed after he said that. She looked coldly at Alec with unprecedented seriousness. "You better not hold on to this idea. If you dare to have an accident again, I'll...I'll marry the person you hate the most!" she huffed, not really knowing how to threaten him.Alec was amused by her words, but because he laughed too hard, he pulled his wound. Pain shot through him; his back and forehead instantly became drenched with sweat. "Heh...Who do you think is the person I hate the most right now?"As the lights were dim, Jenny didn't see the cold sweat on Alec's forehead. Instead, she pondere
The next day, Jenny woke up feeling much better. She could get out of bed on her own, though it still posed a little bit of a challenge to her. Across from her, Alec fared worse as he even had trouble sitting up. Seeing this, she slowly got out of bed and went to Alec's bedside. "Let me help you," she offered."No need. Your injury isn't fully healed yet. Let Vincent do it instead," Alec said with a wave of his hand. However, before he could finish, Jenny had already helped him up. "My injury wasn't that severe, to begin with. I've recovered a lot in the past two days. There's really nothing to worry about," Jenny said.Right then, Alec was leaning against the headboard, looking helpless as he said, "I know you want to take care of me personally, but there's no need to be so anxious. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."Jenny rolled her eyes at him and thought Alec was quite the jokester. He had just recovered a bit, and he was already spouting nonsense. When Vi
The boycott against the Wardleys by the Fausts and Walters began quickly. However, it wasn't just these two families who were going up against the Wardleys. Soon, the Windsors and Watkins informed everyone, one after the other, that they had made the same decision as the Fausts and Walters. And so, the Wardleys were targeted by four of the Ten Elites at the same time.At one point, those who had been working with the Wardleys canceled their contracts and agreements one after another because they did not dare to offend the other families. Besides, they believed the Wardleys were doomed this time. Working with a family that was about to be destroyed was a suicidal move that no one dared to make.Anthony hadn't expected Alec to retaliate in such a way. To be precise, he hadn't considered an alternative situation where Alec would survive. He wasn't afraid of Jenny's threats before, as he thought that as long as he killed Alec, who would dare to oppose him by then? At that time, Alec and
Faye felt that Anthony had understood it too late, unlike her, who had understood it many years ago. That was why she yearned to be with Alec so much. But now, she understood that she had no chance to stand by him, for he was too powerful and beyond her league."So, what do you want to do now? How can I help you?" Faye asked."I want you to go find Alec and ask him to let us off. I'll never bother him again," Anthony said. After these few days, he came to terms with reality and knew he couldn't match up to Alec."Do you think we still have a chance?" Faye asked, frowning. "Yes, of course. You've been with him for so many years. He must have some feelings for you. As long as you speak up, he'll definitely agree," Anthony analyzed.Unfortunately, Faye wasn't so optimistic. "Anthony, you just made me see things as they were. But why can't you see it now? If Alec had any other feelings for me, I wouldn't be here today," Faye said with a bitter smile.Anthony's expression froze. Faye
Upon hearing this, Faye was uncertain and looked nervously at Alec. "If you want to say something, go ahead," Alec said, his words filled with affection for Jenny, which made Faye's heart ache inexplicably, but she quickly suppressed it. She took a deep breath and spoke up, "I want you to spare the Wardleys.""Ha!" Alec couldn't hold back his laughter. "You want? Do you think I would care about what you want?""Alec, I know you hate me and my brother. After all, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't be in hospital now," Faye said, biting her lip. She looked at Alec and continued, "But you should show mercy to him, considering all those years he spent with you. And...and you should also have mercy on me. I haven't had a good life since I was little. You should know how the Lawrence family treated me. I've always thought that if I could become a wealthy young lady one day, I wouldn't live such a miserable life. Alec, I know you probably don't want to spare the Wardleys just like that
