The man approached them until he was standing right in front of her.

"Alec…Faust?" She stared at the familiar face in disbelief and wondered if it was an illusion.

"Yes. Can you walk?" He was overcome by an inexplicable mix of emotions when he found her safe and sound. He wanted so badly to pull her into an embrace, but he decided to act cautiously, worried that she might flinch at his touch.

She nodded at him in a daze and didn't ask questions about his arrival. She looked at Justin in her arms. "Can you lift him out?"

"Sure," Alec readily agreed and took Justin from her. However, he waited for her to go with him. It took him much difficulty to get to her, and he wanted to make sure she was in his sight.

She propped herself up with a hand on the wall and limped behind him as she endured the pain from her right calf. Noticing her limping, he halted and bent over. "Get on. I'll carry you."

"No…no, I can walk." She shook her head. How could she possibly have him carry her on his ba

    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

    Justin, about your parents…" Jenny stared at the sensible child in front of him as she struggled to explain the death of his parents. Compared to her, he was more forthright on the topic. "I know that Mommy and Daddy went to heaven. They became stars and will look after Lilian and me from the sky."She was taken aback. "Stars?""Yes, Alec told me that." The five-year-old nodded. He was too young to grasp the concept of death."Does Alec have a soft side to him?" Jenny wondered. Right then, Alec walked into the tent, and they looked at each other. She asked, "Has the rescue ended?""Yes, for now." He nodded. "Without more advanced detectors, we can't tell where the buried victims are. We can only wait for the rescue team to arrive."After a day's hard work, everyone was tired to the bone. It was counterproductive to request that they blindly search for victims. The best thing everyone could do was to wait.The fact weighed heavily on her heart. She understood that Alec was stati

    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

    Jenny was ready to retort by clarifying that she backed down because it was impossible to take action on Yvonne, who had married into the Blooms. She didn't show Yvonne mercy for Alec's sake.However, she was interrupted by a villager who hurried over. "We heard crying from Clearwater Elementary! Some kids are still trapped under the school! The village chief wants me to inform you, Dr. Walter.""Alright. I'll head over." She snapped back to reality and quickly packed her first-aid supplies. Similarly, Alec was pulled back to reality, but he didn't complain about the interruption because rescuing victims was the priority."I'll hold that for you." He reached out to take the bag from her when she was about to put it on. Since she was focused on the rescue, she didn't refuse his help. After the initial earthquake, Jenny had once rushed to Clearwater Elementary and saved a few children. Since the villagers didn't hear any other response from below the rubble, they left to help the ot

    "Why are you standing there? Save him!" the village chief roared at the onlookers, and everyone immediately went to work. Still, the collapsed classroom was further buried under the rubble after falling rocks from the aftershock piled onto it. The villagers could not move the rocks by hand and would require the help of larger machinery.Even when the villagers had stopped digging, Jenny continued working on the rocks until her fingers bled. She went on as though she couldn't feel the pain at all."Dr. Walter, you…" The village chief went up to comfort her but was at a loss for words."He'll be fine," she muttered while digging. How could anything happen to the invincible Alec Faust? "That won't happen. That's impossible," she thought.The village chief felt sorry for her and attempted to hold her back. "Dr. Walter, please don't go on. The chances of survival are very slim given this situation."Even if they assumed that the victims in the rubble were not crushed by the rocks, with

    The professional rescue team moved fast to remove the rocks and rubbles, revealing a semblance of the original look of the school."He's here!" someone shrieked, and everyone flocked over to the location, including Jenny. She soon realized that she couldn't be of help and could only wait silently on the side, watching as people brought Alec out from the rubble."Miss Walter!" Vincent shouted in great panic when he saw Alec unconscious. Jenny hurriedly went over and instructed, "Move him somewhere spacious."Alec had been moved to the side. To everyone's surprise, a few kids were discovered along with him, and they were all safe."A man protected us," the kids claimed. Everyone felt conflicted after learning about Alec's heroic actions. Jenny was surprised by his action because she had always thought he wasn't the type to sacrifice himself for others. The situation clearly proved her wrong, and she was lost. "Have I misunderstood him all along?" she wondered.Despite having man

    Startled, Jenny had no words."Didn't you say that if I come out alive, you'll give me a chance to pursue you? Is that still the case?" he asked. Her cheeks instantly reddened, and she dodged his gaze. He seemed disappointed at her silence. "I thought you were serious, but it looks like you were fooling with me."She could tell he was disheartened, and she felt sorry for him. "I am serious.""Really?""Yeah, but I'll only give you a chance. I've never agreed to a relationship. What's so exciting about that?" she replied, but she had no idea if she was addressing him or herself. He was unbothered by her statement. Regardless of the outcome, as long as he bagged a chance to date her, it was proof she didn't dislike him as much as she used to. That was a marked improvement for him."Were you watching over me these few days?" He overheard her conversation with Vincent and was secretly over the moon. As usual, she denied it and shook her head. "Why would I do that? I have many pati

    When Jenny told the village chief about Alec's proposal, he was so elated and grateful that he almost knelt down before her."You and Mr. Faust are both good people, Dr. Walter!" His hands trembled, and he was at a loss for how to express his gratitude.Jenny helped to hold him up. "You don't have to thank me. It's all thanks to Mr. Faust."All the credit belonged to Alec, and she didn't want to take credit for his hard work. "No, no. Of course we're grateful for Mr. Faust's help in rebuilding the village, but we are also grateful for what you've done for us during the earthquake," the village chief said.He proceeded to utter a long thank you speech, but Jenny couldn't register most of his words. The words Alec had said to her as she left the tent echoed in her mind."I'll do anything as long as it makes you happy."It always confused her that Alec liked her. After all, she didn't think she was particularly charming enough to attract him."Dr. Walter, I'm going to talk to the

    That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything

    In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro

    That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

    In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma

    After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

    Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention

    Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

    Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom

    Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
