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
Although Alicia didn't say it, Jenny could guess what she was thinking. "I only told you because I didn't want others taking advantage of you. You can still seek revenge on me. After all, Jonathan's death was related to me."Although she didn't think she was wrong, she knew it was logical for Alicia to hate her. Alicia began to waver, and it seemed she didn't truly want to kill herself. Noticing that, Jenny continued, "Think about your brother. He sacrificed so much to save you. Do you really have the heart to let him die in vain?"Alicia gritted her teeth. Of course, she didn't want her brother's sacrifice to be in vain. But she knew clearly that she couldn't kill Jenny. It would be difficult for her to even meet Jenny as they were from entirely different worlds.Jenny didn't care about what she was thinking. When Alicia hesitated, she slowly moved closer to her and grabbed her when she was distracted.Perhaps it frightened Alicia because she fell off the roof instead of towa
While the two were talking, Alec didn't leave and continued trailing behind Jenny. Only after confirming that she was fine did his heart finally stop pounding in his chest.Seeing that he had not left yet, Jenny was a little puzzled. "Is there anything else, Mr. Faust?""No." Alec shook his head, but his gaze was fixed on Evan. He seemed to be very curious about him, or more precisely, he was curious about Evan's relationship with Jenny.As if knowing what he was thinking, Evan extended his hand to him. "Hello, Mr. Faust. I am Evan Clarke, Jenny's family."The word "family" could be interpreted in many ways. It could mean anything from siblings to relatives and even someone's husband.Although his expression shifted, his face didn't betray his emotions. "Hello."After the two men exchanged pleasantries, Alec was ready to leave since he had nothing left to do."By the way, Mr. Faust." Jenny stopped him. "About the surgery you mentioned earlier, if it's urgent, you can bring m
Gulping, Rowena put on a smile and asked, "What is it? Is there anything I can help you with, Jenny?""Not really. I just wanted to know how you are feeling now that the Glasses are bankrupt," she said, deliberately provoking her. Graham, who was in the room, didn't seem to care and ignored the conversation.Rowena understood it all too well. Graham had always been on Jenny's side. "It's their own fault that they are in this state. Although I am sad, I won't help them."There was nothing Rowena could do except cling to the Walters. If she didn't, she would have nothing left."Listen to yourself. Haven't you been helping the Glasses?" Jenny sneered at her.Rowena's heart began to pound, and she began to feel uneasy. "Jenny, what do you mean? I have never helped the Glasses. I know I have asked your father to spare them before, but that was all I did." Although she worried that Jenny might know everything, she thought it was unlikely."Is that so?" Unfazed by her denial, Jenny
Rowena did not deny it. Sneering, she replied, "Jenny, before you returned, I never thought of doing this. Although I knew your father doesn't like me, the Walters are still my family. But everything changed since you showed up!"She looked at Jenny as if she were her greatest enemy. In fact, Jenny was her greatest enemy. If she could do it, she would have annihilated Jenny."Stop making yourself sound so noble. Just admit that my return threatened whatever benefits you hoped to receive," Jenny retorted.Glaring at her viciously, Rowena gritted her teeth and replied, "Yes, it did. Even so, it doesn't change the fact that you never should've come back! Let me correct myself. You never should've been born!" She roared loudly, finally saying what she had been holding in.Jenny's expression changed slightly when she heard that, and her hand clenched into fists. Rowena's words hit a sore spot. Jenny had always thought that her mother might not have had an accident if it weren't for
Rowena was kicked out of the Walter family. The very sight of her disgusted Graham, and there was no way he would allow her to stay, so he had his lawyer prepare for divorce. After everything was settled, he turned to Evan, who was still in his home, looking a little stunned. "I'm sorry you had to watch the whole circus.""Mr. Walter, don't worry about it. Jenny is my family, and you're her family, so you're my family too." What had happened made Evan realize how much Jenny had suffered at Rowena's hands.His words changed Graham's perception of Evan. Of course, Graham knew Evan had feelings for Jenny. He had also heard that they grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. However, if he really had feelings for her, why did he only come to pursue her now?He didn't know the reason, nor did he want to ask. Hence, he stuck to exchanging pleasantries and small talk. Later, when Jenny sent Evan to the door, she said, "Be careful on the way back, Evan.""Jenny, I'm sorry." Ev
