The next day, Jenny woke up, and when Evan saw her awake, he approached her and said, "The doctor said you can drink some chicken soup today." He then brought the chicken soup over and prepared to feed her with a spoon, saying, "Come, have some. It's not hot anymore.""I'll do it myself," Jenny responded. Although he had always been kind to her, she felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other in so many years that Jenny wasn't used to it."Can you move it?" Evan asked, referring to the wound on Jenny's shoulder, which was still bandaged. She probably shouldn't move it.Embarrassed, Jenny replied, "I still have my other hand."Her right shoulder was injured, which rendered her right hand useless, but her left hand was fine, so she had no issue eating. Since she was so insistent, Evan didn't say more. With a nod, he put the chicken soup on the table in front of her, and she used her left hand to eat.Halfway through her meal, Gilbert
Jenny laughed when she heard that. "Let's just leave him blocked. We have no need to contact each other anyway." With that, she put away her phone, not intending to remove Alec from the list of blocked contacts.Jenny was resentful because if Alec had answered her call, she might have been rescued earlier, and she wouldn't have been shot twice nor forced to jump off a cliff. Although she knew a river was below the cliff, she hadn't known if she would survive. She wondered if Alec would feel guilty if she had died there. She had no way of knowing the answer and didn't care to know."Could you buy me a bottle of water?" Jenny asked Evan. "I'm a little thirsty." Evan nodded and got up, understanding that she wanted to talk to Gilbert alone.After Evan left, Jenny turned to Gilbert and asked, "Why did you bring him back, Gilbert?"Gilbert sat down beside her bed and asked, "What's wrong? Are you upset to see him back?"Without much emotion, Jenny replied, "I have no reason to
After Gilbert left, Jenny leaned against the bed and took out her phone, scrolling through the latest news. She checked her call log and saw that she had made an emergency call to Alec, but he hadn't answered and had only called her back about an hour later.She continued thinking about what would have happened had Alec answered her call. At that time, she had just entered the mountains, so if someone had come to her rescue, she might not have had to suffer the two gunshots later on. But then again, he had no obligation to come to her aid. She blamed herself for setting him as her emergency contact, which almost cost her life.She decided to change her emergency contact to Gilbert. She felt confident that he would come to her rescue no matter what. As for Alec, she decided to keep him on the list of blocked contacts and have no further contact with him. Although he had no obligation to save her, Jenny's heart still hurt and felt uncomfortable.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door
The atmosphere in the room turned awkward again. Jenny forced a laugh and pretended not to hear him. "Didn't I ask you to buy me water? Where is it?""Uh, don't you have some water by your bed?" Evan pointed to a flask of water on the bedside table. He was all but telling her that he knew she deliberately tried to get rid of him.It made Jenny more embarrassed. Gritting her teeth, Jenny forced herself to say, "I wanted some bottled water.""Oh, is that so? I'm sorry I didn't buy you any." Evan apologized to her without exposing her lie.Jenny decided to move on from that topic. "I'm fine here. If you have something else to do, please go ahead and do it.""I just returned to my home country. What is there to do?" He didn't have anything else planned, and he was also worried about Jenny."Didn't Gilbert bring you back to help him with work? Why don't you help him out?" Jenny knew there was no way Evan could weasel himself out of that.With a helpless smile, Evan replied, "Sure,
Alec didn't know what exactly was going through Jenny's head. However, her words didn't make him feel good. "Blake and I—""Mr. Faust, I am not interested in your relationship with Miss Watkins." She didn't want to know, afraid that she would feel worse. "Do you have anything else to say? If not, kindly leave. I'm tired."Alec originally wanted to explain that he and Blake were only in a business relationship. However, Jenny's response forced him to retract his words."I came here for a reason," Alec said.Jenny looked up at him, waves of emotions hitting her. Was he only visiting her because he needed something from her?"You know about my amnesia. I've seen doctors, and they said a blood clot in my brain is pressing on my nerves, causing me to lose my memory." Alec looked at Jenny before he continued, "No doctor in Bardoff City is willing to perform this surgery, so I contacted a world-renowned neurosurgeon, and he recommended you to me."The neurosurgeon in question was actu
With that, Alec left. Since Jenny had refused his help, he wouldn't insist. Perhaps because his memories hadn't recovered, his feelings for Jenny weren't particularly strong.Jenny spent the next few days recuperating and didn't pay much attention to whatever was happening outside the hospital. She believed that Graham and James would be able to resolve everything. However, before the Glasses were dealt with, she ran into another problem.When the doctor came to change the dressing of her bandage that day, Jenny noticed that the person was not her attending physician, and she was surprised. "Where's Dr. Forbes?""Dr. Forbes is performing surgery today. I'm his intern," the person answered and began to change Jenny's dressing.Although Jenny was puzzled, she didn't think too much about it. However, when the person took out the medicine and was about to apply it, she detected a strange scent. Without hesitation, Jenny immediately pushed the person away and asked, "Who are you? What d
Jenny stayed in the hospital for about a week, during which the Glasses went bankrupt. It didn't surprise her. After all, Graham and James had been preparing for so long. If they couldn't handle the Glasses, they would have wasted all their time.On the day she was supposed to leave the hospital, a patient was admitted and specifically asked for Jenny. Although she was on leave, she still went to take a look."Alicia?" Jenny was a little surprised when she saw the person lying on the hospital bed. She never thought she would see her again.Although Alicia had sworn she would seek revenge the last time they met, Jenny didn't care since she didn't think Alicia couldn't do anything to her."I heard that you almost got killed?" Alicia asked. Perhaps because of her illness, her face was a little pale. Although it had been cured through surgery, her former health was still not restored, and she needed to take medicine all the time and avoid rigorous activities.Jenny frowned, "What do y
With that, Jenny left. She didn't care whether Alicia believed her or if she appreciated her. Alicia could easily find out the truth if she spent some time asking around at the hospital where she had her surgery done. However, Jenny couldn't be bothered. It was the day of her discharge, and she didn't want her mood to be affected because of Alicia. When Evan came to pick her up, Jenny didn't know how to feel about it. "Where is Gilbert? Why isn't he here to pick me up?" "Gilbert? You know he's a workaholic," Evan said with a chuckle as he led Jenny out of the hospital. If Gilbert had heard what Evan said, he would have been furious. A workaholic? It was Evan who didn't want him to come. Evan had told him he would be a third wheel if he went. Nonetheless, he didn't really insist on going either, as he knew that he really had to create an opportunity for Evan. Otherwise, the man might not be able to win Jenny over. Meanwhile, Jenny was oblivious to whatever arrangement they
