Even with that, Old Mr. Faust still told Jenny truthfully, "Actually, I don't know much about it either. I just happened to be in Parrington when this incident occurred, so I learned about it by chance.""By chance?" Jenny didn't believe there could be such a coincidence."Ah, never mind. It was actually because of your grandfather that I knew. He told me about it when he was still the Walters' servant." Old Mr. Faust knew that Jenny didn't believe him, so he decided to be honest. Since Jenny had already found out that much, there was no longer a need to hide anything."My grandfather? Why would he tell you?" Jenny didn't understand. Under reasonable circumstances, her grandfather should have kept this a secret and not told Old Mr. Faust."Your grandfather and I were good friends in Bardoff City. Later, when he brought you to Orchid Village, he couldn't ask the Walters to provide assistance, or it would attract attention. So, I was the one who had been helping him all these years,"
“There’s no need to thank me. You already know everything anyway, don’t you? You’ll know the specifics sooner or later.” Zachary was helpless. If it hadn’t been for the fact Jenny had found out about almost everything, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to tell her about all that.Jenny smiled when she heard that, but her smile was a weak and slightly guilty one. She didn’t dare to tell Zachary she was just trying her luck by pretending to have found out about her true identity. In fact, she didn’t ask about anything when she went to Bardoff City. On top of that, Mr. Spade had already gone to the hospital before she could get to him.Meanwhile, in the kitchen downstairs, Alec instructed the chef to cook the dishes that Jenny liked. Mortimer also walked into the kitchen and looked at Alec coldly. “Why do you insist on being with that woman?”Alec was slightly stunned when he heard this, and did not turn his head to look at Mortimer. He continued to give the chef instructions.“
When the two were in a stalemate, Jenny came down from upstairs. Alec ignored Mortimer right away and walked over to her."Are you done talking to Grandpa?" he asked. Jenny nodded and glanced at Alec meaningfully but didn't say anything. Alec could feel the emotion in her eyes, but if she didn't want to tell him about it, he wouldn't ask—at least, not now.Not long after, Old Mr. Faust came down too. "Let's eat."Soon, the four of them sat at the dining table. Perhaps the atmosphere became a little awkward because of Jenny's presence. Old Mr. Faust knew that Jenny wasn't happy about what he'd told her, but he didn't offer her words of advice. He figured she would have to get over it by herself, and there was no point in others persuading her. It would only make her pull away even further.He then glanced at his grandson and saw that he'd been staring at Jenny. He could only sigh helplessly. Alec was exceptional in every aspect; his only flaw was he loved too deeply when he fell f
The brakes sounded, and the car stopped at the side of the road. Jenny was about to ask Alec what was going on when she saw him looking at her intently. His look seemed to suggest that she had hurt his feelings."I should be the one feeling hurt," Jenny thought."Jenny, am I such a terrible person in your eyes?" Alec asked in a low voice after some time; the tone of his voice was indescribably sad. The sight of Alec looking so broken tugged at Jenny's heartstrings, but she still smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, Alec; your trustworthiness is basically zero."Alec smiled bitterly, knowing that this was all his own doing. "I'm sorry...""You don't have to apologize to me, even if you really had ulterior motives at the beginning, I don't care. After all, I know you meant it when you showed me you genuinely loved me, and I really did feel happiness during those times." She looked at Alec with a faint smile as she said that. However, those words cut at Alec's heart like knive
"I've found out about everything," Jenny said lightly. Through the phone, the tone of her voice didn't seem to carry any emotion.Gilbert wanted to ask what she knew. Right when he was about to, he suddenly thought of something, and he couldn't help but clench his phone a little harder. "About your background?""Yeah." She told Gilbert because she wanted to see if she could get some other information that she didn't know about from him.This time, it was Gilbert's turn to be silent. As he didn't say anything, it made Jenny a little perplexed. "Gilbert, tell me everything you know."After another round of silence, Gilbert sighed and replied a little helplessly, "I knew that once you found out you weren't Grandpa's biological granddaughter, you would definitely figure things out. I just didn't expect you to be so fast."He thought it would take a while for Jenny to learn the truth, but he didn't expect it to be that soon. He'd underestimated his sister."I just want to figure every
Jenny nodded, guessing that the people sitting in that row should all be excellent alumni. A few of them were even famous figures that Jenny had already known when she was still studying. It was just that she didn't care much back then, as she immersed herself in studying. Her relationship with her classmates was average at best. Now that she had come, there were only a few people whom she really knew."Hello, I'm Jenny Walter." She nodded politely, not meaning to continue the conversation with the other person.However, Derrick obviously didn't intend to stop there. Still seated next to Jenny, he said, "You're so young. You just graduated not long ago, right? You must be excellent to be invited back to the anniversary celebration as an outstanding graduate. So, what scientific research experience do you have? Which hospital are you working at?"Those seated there either had prolific scientific research experience or worked in top hospitals; in Derrick's case, he was the latter. He
What surprised everyone even more was that after the dean called upon Jenny, he got up and walked to her. He then said with a smile, "You've been the best student at our university for so many years. I've always been proud of you."Jenny was immensely surprised when by that. She hurriedly got up. "Dean Howard, you flatter me too much. Everyone here is equally excellent."Others were naturally dissatisfied when they heard the dean's words, but they couldn't lose their temper on such an occasion. They could only comment disparagingly, "Dean Howard, although Parrington Hospital is quite good. It's not exactly difficult to land a job there."If they wanted to work in Parrington Hospital, they could all get in quite easily. It definitely wasn't as difficult as entering Bardoff Hospital.Derrick was also unhappy. He worked in Bardoff Hospital, yet the dean didn't even bat an eyelash at him. "Don't say that. She probably graduated not too long ago. It's quite an achievement to get into a
After dinner was over, Jenny walked out of the restaurant and took a deep breath. she felt much more relaxed after taking in some fresh air. She was still uncomfortable with social settings like these. Burying her head in surgery or scientific research was more suitable for her.As she was thinking about that, Derrick walked to her side without her noticing. He seemed to have something to say to her but found it difficult to find the words. "Miss Walter."Jenny graduated earlier than him, so she was his senior. He felt awkward about that fact.On the other hand, Jenny wasn't bothered about things like that. She turned to look at him. "What do you need?""Nothing, really." Derrick smiled awkwardly, not daring to look into Jenny's eyes. "I haven't come to Parrington for several years, and I feel that this place has changed a lot. I'm no longer familiar with this city."Jenny thought to herself, "So?""Do you have time tomorrow? Can you show me around Parrington?" In the end, he end
