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
Jenny chuckled and didn't take it seriously. "Who knows? I'm not interested in him anyway." She wasn't joking; she really wasn't interested in Derrick. Hence, she didn't care about what he was up to. It had nothing to do with her as far as she was concerned.Upon hearing Jenny's words, Alec inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief once more. It was good that she wasn't interested in him. He was dreading that Jenny might somehow be interested.Alec drove at a consistent speed. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Perry Residence. After Jenny got out of the car in the underground parking lot, she noticed that Alec was still inside and hadn't gotten out yet. She asked, "Do you have something else to do?""Yeah. There's still some work at the company," Alec replied."Since you had something to do, you didn't have to come and pick me up. It was troublesome for you to make that extra trip." Jenny felt a little guilty. She thought Alec had come to pick her up after finishing his work.A
The woman pouted and said helplessly, "I don't want to do things for others. I feel uncomfortable at being ordered around. But there is no other way since I owe it to them. Fortunately, after killing you, all of my debts with that person will be written off." A debt of gratitude was the most difficult to repay, and she could finally pay it off after many years. Owing to that, she wouldn't let Jenny off this time.Jenny was speechless. "Well, good for you. You can pay back your debt. But you're paying for it with my life!" Jenny cursed internally.The woman wasn't interested in chatting with Jenny anymore. She sighed, "Don't waste my time. Let's just go somewhere deserted and fight. You can go if you win, but if you lose…your life is mine.""Fine." Jenny didn't refuse. She didn't want to fight the woman in the lobby of Perry Residence anyway.The two left the area and headed to the river behind it. Fewer people were there at night, so they wouldn't be discovered if they fought the
Jenny nodded, but she had no intention of making a move. It left the woman confused and unsure of what she was trying to do. The woman got into an attacking stance, but in the next second, she was stunned in place, unable to react."You..." The woman looked at Jenny, feeling speechless.Jenny shrugged nonchalantly and smiled at her. "I never said I was going to fight you myself."Right then, the woman found herself surrounded. Even if she wanted to, she stood little chance of escaping, let alone winning against Jenny."Aren't you being shameless? You don't have a shred of honor." She was irate and finally realized why Jenny was stalling. It turned out she had backup.To Jenny, however, it had nothing to do with honor. Since returning from Bardoff City, these people had followed her around, acting as her bodyguards. She didn't want to risk her life. Fortunately, she had made the right decision."It doesn't matter if it's honorable or not as long as one can win," Jenny replied with
The woman said nothing, but Alec paid no attention to her. Looking at his men, he instructed, "Take her to the dungeon and interrogate her well. Pry out everything she knows."He wasn't as kind as Jenny toward someone who wanted to take his life. Naturally, he had to deal with them accordingly. The woman was taken away, and Alec stood in place for a long time, his heart a little heavy.As Jenny got closer to uncovering the truth, the danger around her also increased. Alec wasn't sure how long he could protect her. If she returned to the Walters, would he still be of help? To be more exact, would he even qualify to help? It seemed to him now that he was still too weak.…A few days later, after Natalia returned from Bardoff City, she immediately came to look for Jenny. "Dr. Walter, I have contacted both Parrington Hospital and Bardoff Hospital. The two hospitals are now cooperative, and you can perform the surgery at Bardoff Hospital.""Good. You're quite efficient." Jenny couldn't he
Graham had startled Rowena, speaking to her out of the blue. "I-It's nothing," she stammered."Is that so?" Graham obviously didn't believe her. Over the years, he had come to know the woman quite well. She wouldn't be so nervous if there was nothing going on.Right then, Rowena regained her composure and snapped back, "What does it have anything to do with you? Have you suddenly started to care about me?""Care about her?" Graham thought with a grimace, disgusted. He averted his gaze and stopped looking at her.Rowena's heart ached, but she put on a cold front and continued, "Since you don't care about me, don't ask about my affairs.""Did you think I was keen to ask? I'm just afraid you're doing something behind my back that I wouldn't approve of," Graham retorted.Rowena felt guilty. She dared to make a move against Jenny, but she didn't dare to let Graham find out. She could only harrumph coldly and ignore him in defense.Seeing that her parents were about to argue again, Jo
Rowena was a bit scared of the repercussions after saying those words. However, she wasn't willing to show any weakness in front of Graham."You're right. It was indeed my incompetence," Graham responded slowly after a moment. Then, he got up and left the dining room.As he walked away, Rowena felt no satisfaction from expressing herself. On the contrary, their argument made her feel even more upset."Why didn't he get angry? He should have screamed at me. How could he pretend to take it so calmly?" she thought.Jolene finally came to her senses. She turned to look at her mother. "Mom, what did you mean by what you just said? Did Dad like someone else?""She was just an unworthy and lowly commoner. So what if your father liked her? Would the rest of the Walters consent to their relationship? He was lucky enough to be able to marry me." Rowena was angry. Hence, her words were naturally unpleasant.She was from one of the Ten Elites of Bardoff City. The Walters made a big fuss abou
They didn't believe her, but Jenny didn't mind it and said nothing. It wasn't wise to make grand promises right away, for anything could happen, and unexpected circumstances could arise."Is everything okay on your end?" Jenny looked at the people who had spoken up just now and then turned to Natalia. The surgery required the approval of all members of the Cruz family; otherwise, there would be trouble later. Natalia nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take care of them." She didn't care about those people; she had already convinced her parents, and her grandfather agreed that the surgery was necessary. "Okay." Jenny nodded and said, "Tomorrow, besides me being the surgeon, we will also need doctors from other departments to cooperate. So, arrangements with the hospital..." "You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of everything. Just tell me what to do," Natalia said. Jenny nodded in response. She could tell that Natalia really wanted to save her grandfather.
