Jenny woke up on Alec's hospital bed the next day. A little dazed, she asked, "Why am I sleeping here?""What do you think?" Alec's voice sounded in her ears.She was so startled that she immediately sat up straight on the bed and turned to look at him. "Why are you here?" she asked."This is my hospital bed," Alec reminded her.An unnatural expression flashed across her face as soon as she recalled what had happened last night. "This is all your fault," she said. If Alec hadn't hugged her to prevent her from leaving, she wouldn't have fallen asleep and slept there through the night.Alec didn't bother arguing with her. Instead, he got out of bed and said, "Let's have breakfast. After that, we'll head back to Parrington.""That fast?" Jenny was stunned. She got up from bed and said, "I haven't asked Justin and Lilian what they think yet.""Well, it wouldn't be too late if you asked them after breakfast," Alec replied.However, Jenny ignored him and marched out of the tent after
On the private plane back to Parrington, Jenny smiled as she watched Justin and Lilian, who were sitting beside her. In the end, the two children chose to leave Clearwater Village with her. Jenny knew that they did this because they trusted her.Meanwhile, Alec was dealing with work. It seemed that many work matters had accumulated over the past few days.Jenny leaned back in her seat, wondering how she would face him from now on. He had let go of everything when he heard she might be in an accident.Could she really be with him? That was a question she never thought about. After all, she thought that she would never have to interact with Alec for the rest of her life when they filed for divorce.Somehow, after her divorce, not only did she still meet him frequently, but he was also pursuing her. It made her feel rather uncomfortable. She tried to make sense of the situation but eventually fell asleep. When Jenny woke up, she found Alec next to her. His eyes were also closed, dee
Alec immediately headed to his company after sending Jenny and the two kids to Perry Residence. In the days he was gone, many matters had begun to accumulate. At the news of his death, many people started to act up. It was the perfect opportunity for Alec to deal with those who harbored ill intentions toward him.Not long after Jenny arrived home, Gilbert and Zack came to visit. When they knocked on the door, Justin opened the door for them. He eyed them suspiciously, asking, "Who are you looking for?""You…" Zack was surprised and stepped back to check the house number. "Hey, this is Jenny's place. We didn't go to the wrong house.""Zack," Jenny called as she headed to the door, finding the whole situation ridiculous.Seeing her, Zack heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought I knocked on the wrong door.""Come on in." Jenny pulled Justin aside to allow her brothers to enter. Gilbert's eyes landed on Justin, and he couldn't help asking, "Who is this child?"Before Jenny could answer
"Right?" Zack nodded immediately, his curiosity aroused. "When we heard about the earthquake, we were about to head over immediately, but you called to tell us not to come because Alec was there." For one, why was Alec there? Also, why couldn't they go because Alec was there?Seeing how they were staring at her, Jenny knew it would be more trouble if she didn't explain the situation clearly. Sighing helplessly, she replied, "After Alec arrived, the situation wasn't dangerous anymore. I thought you guys would come, so I called you not to, hoping that you would focus on dealing with the Dickmans instead. This way, the Dickmans wouldn't have any chance to escape." It was Alec's satellite phone that she had used to call Gilbert, mainly because she didn't want them to waste their time.Gilbert disagreed with her, a little unhappy. "Do you think there is no danger just because he's there? Why do you trust him so much?"Jenny paused, sensing his hostile tone. "Hey, I didn't mean it t
"Technical consultant?" Jenny was a little hesitant. "But you don't need one. Your skills are no worse than mine. We're just good in different fields."Since Zack's company specialized in cybersecurity, Jenny figured he could handle it on his own completely. After all, unlike Zack, she was better at infiltrating networks instead of creating a good network defense system."It's because we're good at different fields that I invited you to join. With you by my side, wouldn't my company be invincible?" Zack grinned, not hiding his true intentions.Jenny gave it a thought for a while before nodding. "Okay, but I won't have much time to visit the company.""It's okay. Just come whenever you're needed." Zack didn't want to burden Jenny, so he decided not to bother her under normal circumstances.While they discussed their cooperation, Gilbert seemed to be a little down. "Jenny, I invited you to join my company, but you never agreed.""Well, it's because I know a little about Zack's comp
"Miss Walter?"Hearing the familiar voice, Jenny looked back and saw Yvonne. "What a coincidence," Yvonne said and introduced Jenny to Sam. "This is Jenny Walter, the well-known Dr. Walter from Parrington Hospital, and Mr. Birkett's secret mentee.""I know," Sam said. "She's Mr. Faust's ex-wife, right?""Well, Miss Walter is an amazing person, much better than me anyway.""In my heart, no one is better than you."Jenny couldn't help but smile at the couple's display of affection. She knew Yvonne's interest in Sam was just an act, as evidenced by her previous intention to marry Alec. Nonetheless, she decided not to put Yvonne down for her stellar acting. Yvonne playfully pushed Sam away, saying, "Oh, Miss Walter is still watching."Sam introduced himself to Jenny and greeted Gilbert as well. Gilbert nodded at him but remained nonchalant. While he couldn't afford to offend him, he had no intentions of currying favor with Sam. The moment Sam married Yvonne, the Blooms became his
When Jenny and Gilbert arrived back home from their shopping trip, they found Zack looking angry and flustered. Concerned, Jenny approached him and asked what was wrong. Zack, seeming to snap out of his anger, glared at Justin before storming off to the kitchen with Gilbert, without answering her. Puzzled, Jenny turned to Justin and asked him what had happened."He was playing a game earlier, but he wasn't very good at it, so I teased him a little. He's probably upset about it," Justin replied, looking apologetic.Jenny couldn't help but laugh at the situation, patting Justin's head to comfort him. "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. He just needs to practice more." After reassuring Justin, Jenny made her way to the kitchen with a smile. "Zack, even Justin can see that your skills suck. Why don't you put in a little effort and improve your skills?" she suggested."I don't see the point in wasting time on games," Zack grumbled, clearly still annoyed. "And why are these country kids be
Gilbert's back tensed up when he heard Zach's words. He looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Zach, what are you trying to say?" He couldn't believe that Zach might know about his secret. He had been trying to keep it hidden from everyone, even Jenny, so how could Zach possibly know? Gilbert's heart was pounding; he didn't know how to react. Should he admit the truth or deny it?Zach noticed Gilbert's anxious expression and worried he might be right. He decided to drop the topic and said, "It was just a thought. Nothing important." He didn't want to ruin everything by bringing up something that could potentially harm the relationship between the three of them.Gilbert continued cooking and replied with a simple "Oh."He was relieved that Zach didn't press the issue further. He thought Zach might have guessed his secret but chose not to expose it. It showed that he still cared about their brotherhood. …The atmosphere during the meal was unpleasant, and Jenny couldn't help bu
