Natalia stared blankly into space for a while before suddenly bursting into tears. Everyone was confused. "Wasn't the surgery successful? Why is she crying?" they all wondered.But soon, Natalia started laughing. "I knew Dr. Walter would succeed! I just knew it!"She was extremely glad for her decision and for insisting on trusting Jenny. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out so well. "Miss, my grandfather...""He's been taken to the intensive care unit. We'll have to wait and see how he recovers in the coming days." The postoperative period was the most dangerous time, and no one could be sure that complications wouldn't arise.Natalia nodded and thanked the nurse. While everyone went to the ICU to see her grandfather, she stayed behind. Soon, Jenny came out of the operating room, and Natalia approached her. Jenny was a little surprised seeing her there. "Didn't the nurse tell you? Your grandfather has been transferred to the ICU. Why aren't you making your way there to s
Jenny was oblivious to what was on Derrick's mind; she would probably be speechless if she did.The two of them walked to the hospital entrance. When Jenny realized Derrick intended to continue following her, she became annoyed and said, "Is there anything else? I'm a bit tired and want to go back and rest. You should go back to your work too."She thought she'd made herself very clear."I don't have anything much going on at the moment. Since we're fellow alumni, I should treat you to a meal while you're in Bardoff City," Derrick said with a smile, not realizing how slimy he appeared. Jenny felt repulsed by his behavior but restrained herself from losing her temper. "That's not necessary. Thanks for the offer, Derrick.""It's nothing, really," he said, seemingly oblivious to her irritation. He stood in her way, showing no intention of letting her leave. Jenny's fists clenched, but in the end, she didn't throw a punch at him. "He's a fellow university alum," she chanted to hers
Jenny's words made Alec reflect deeply on his recent condition. Even he felt something was not quite right as he got no relief after psychotherapy. On the contrary, the fear of losing something became even more pronounced. Hearing what Jenny said, Alec realized that maybe the psychiatrist he was seeing was not good enough. "Didn't you say you know a psychiatrist?" Alec asked. He decided to accept Jenny's arrangement, hoping to achieve an improvement. He thought he was fine the way he was since Jenny was his everything anyway. However, if she wanted him to return to normal, there wasn't anything bad about that either. He believed that no matter his condition, his love for Jenny would not decrease by any margin.Jenny, of course, didn't refuse Alec's request since he took the initiative to ask her. Compared to the psychiatrist Alec found himself, she trusted the one recommended by her senior more. She immediately sent the contact information to Alec, urging him to contact the psychiat
She thought she had made herself very clear the previous day. Derrick was smart, so there was no way he couldn't take the hint. To Jenny's surprise, he was totally oblivious and approached her again."Jenny, we graduated from the same university. There's no need to push me away like this, right?" Derrick desperately tried to establish a closer connection with her.However, it was obviously not very successful, as Jenny was repulsed by his words. "Although we are fellow alumni, that doesn't mean we're close. I thought my attitude toward you had made things very clear, but now it seems you didn't understand what I meant. Well then, let me make it crystal clear now." Jenny looked at him with a cold expression."I'm not interested in you, Derrick, whether as friends or in any other kind of relationship. So, can you please step aside?"She didn't want to say such harsh words, but Derrick just didn't get it. If she didn't make it clear, he might keep bothering her.Derrick's face was
Jolene continued to sip on her coffee while criticizing Jenny, speaking contemptuously of her. Little did she know that Jenny was in the café and could hear her conversation with her friend.Jenny didn't know the woman and didn't understand why she had such animosity toward her. However, she was no pushover, and if someone spoke about her so degradingly, she felt like she had to step in and do something. She couldn't just lay low and allow others to trample all over her.She got up, walked over to the girl named Jo, and patted her on the shoulder. Jolene turned around and saw Jenny, who was smiling at her. She thought Jenny looked familiar but couldn't quite place where she'd seen her before."Who are you? Why are you touching me? Are you crazy?" Jolene fired away with annoyance.Jenny remained smiling and wasn't angry at her audacity. "It's me. I'm Jenny, the cheap woman you happily criticized a moment ago."The air seemed to freeze when Jenny announced who she was, and Jolene co
In the afternoon, Alec rushed to Bardoff City. This time, he didn't come freely but was summoned there by Jenny. Ash was still in Parrington, but Jenny needed her in Bardoff City, so she asked Alec for a small favor to find someone to bring her over. She just didn't expect him to come in person. When Jenny saw him at the airport, she couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, but she was somewhat touched. "Why did you come? Couldn't you just find someone to bring her here?" "I don't trust anyone else to handle it. Besides, bringing her over won't delay me much," Alec said, shoving Ash into the car. Jenny knew what he'd said about not trusting anyone was just an excuse. Alec came to Bardoff City because he was worried about her. She didn't comment on it, but she silently remembered this kind gesture. Alec took her and Ash to the house he'd bought in Bardoff City. He couldn't arrange for them to stay in a hotel, as it was inconvenient with Ash around. Jenny didn't refuse and f
It was late at night, Jenny had already gone to sleep, but Alec was still busy working on his computer. He was holding a meeting with the top executives of Faust Group online to plan a new round of expansion, with Bardoff City as their destination. He could imagine that once Jenny confronted the Walters of Bardoff City, she would definitely be spending more time here. In that case, if he continued to confine himself to Parrington as he had in the past, he would only grow further and further apart from Jenny.On the other side, in Walter Castle, Jolene had been wronged and naturally couldn't help but complain when she got home."Dad, please do something about this!" Jolene said pleadingly with tears in her eyes. She really did look a little pitiful.Before Graham could even ask what had happened, Rowena was immediately aggrieved that Jolene had suffered. "Who dared to pick on you, Jo? Tell Mommy, and I'll make sure to avenge you!"Hearing that, Graham frowned. He couldn't stand Rowe
Graham had claimed that the woman and the child he had with her had died, so they didn't pursue it further. She also decided to marry him because she thought that bitch was dead and couldn't pose any threat to her. But now it seemed that it was all just a lie Graham told to let the bitch's daughter live."Watch your words! That's my daughter you're talking about," Graham responded frostily, looking at Rowena with extreme displeasure.Over the years, Rowena had seen how ruthless he could be, so she didn't confront him directly. "You've deceived me all these years," she sneered, being equally nasty.Graham, however, didn't care at all. He merely gave her a cold smirk. "If it hadn't been for you and the rest of the Walters forcing me into a corner, I wouldn't have done this."He wanted to keep his daughter by his side, but if he'd gone through with his original intention, Jenny might not have survived."So it's still my fault at the end of the day, huh?" Rowena asked coldly, her eyes
