Not long after, Gilbert had the food prepared. Everyone sat at the table and began to eat.The atmosphere was better than Jenny expected. The table was pleasant as long as Alec and Evan kept their mouths shut.It was mostly Zack telling the story of how he and Janet got to know each other and fell in love. Jenny felt envious. It was all she wanted. To love the person she had feelings for without all the complicated emotions.Alec saw the envious look in her eyes and felt upset. It was his fault. Forget what happened before their divorce. They hadn't interacted and were basically strangers. What he regretted was becoming her boyfriend and then failing to cherish what they had. That was what caused this to happen today.After dinner, they were in no rush to leave. Gilbert ushered Zack and Evan to the study, obviously meaning for a company meeting.Jenny didn't know what it was about. She didn't know what Evan, a part of Walter Inc, could discuss with Gilbert.However, she didn't wo
"Now that I think about it, I regret a lot of things." Alec looked at Jenny with mixed feelings.Jenny was confused. "Why?""If it weren't for my arrogance, we might not have broken up," he said.He sighed. With Mortimer's sudden appearance, he worried that the man would attack Jenny, which was why he distanced himself from her. He didn't even object to breaking up. He thought he was protecting her, but he was really just hurting her.Jenny didn't argue. "Maybe we didn't trust each other enough back then.""It's not that. I didn't understand you. I didn't know what would be best for you." If he knew what her decision was, and knew that she was not afraid of danger, he might not have chosen to distance himself from her. The misunderstandings would not have happened, and they would not have broken up."Do you think you know me enough now?" Jenny asked.Alec wanted to nod, but he didn't have the courage to.Jenny smiled lightly. "What would you do if we encountered something like
"Jenny?" Janet noticed Jenny was staring at her with a suspicious look in her eyes. She felt bewildered and anxious.Had she found out? She couldn't have. It was their first day meeting each other.Jenny snapped back to reality and shook her head. "Sorry. I drifted off.""Ah." Janet retracted her gaze, not holding eye contact with Jenny. She felt uncomfortable.Jenny said nothing else, and the three of them waited for the three men to finish talking.Fortunately, it was not a long wait as they were soon finished. Zack came out from the study and went straight towards Janet. It was obvious that he really liked her.Jenny was happy for him, but at the same time, she worried.She hoped that Janet was a good person so that they would be able to live happily together. However, she worried that Janet was just putting on a show. If that was the case, there was no way it would end well with a man as straightforward as Zack.She carried that worry in her heart until they departed.When
Gilbert sent Jenny home. When she saw the massive garden, for some reason, Jenny felt lonely.Afterward, she called Alfred and asked him to help her buy an apartment near the hospital so she could easily travel to and fro.After Graham left, Jenny lived there alone. In such a big place, she was not happy at all. In fact, she couldn't get used to it.She hadn't made up her mind about moving yet, but today, she had.She wasn't worried about Walter Castle. There was a butler to keep things running, and it wouldn't go to ruins. Jenny would only consider moving back if Graham came back. She didn't like living in such a big place alone.After washing up, Jenny lay in her bed. She wanted to be at the hospital early tomorrow to tell the little girl's mother about the charity, so she wouldn't be anxious to leave the hospital.In a daze, Jenny quickly fell asleep. It was then that Gilbert reached his villa.Zack had just reached Bardoff City and had not found a place to stay yet. Hence, Z
He hugged her tightly. "Why are you so good to me, Janet?""Am I really that good?" Janet wasn't so sure. No one had ever called her good before."Of course. You're the best girl I've ever met." Zack nodded vigorously. Why else would he love her so much?Janet opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, she lacked the courage to do so. "Well, what if one day you find out that I've done something wrong before? Would you forgive me?""What could you possibly do wrong? They're just small matters. I wouldn't care." He loved Janet for who she was now. It had nothing to do with her past. It didn't matter if Zack had lied. His words calmed Janet considerably.At least, this was a man who truly loved her.She tilted her head and kissed him, wishing she could give him everything.…The next day in the hospital, Jenny went to the ward and found that both the girl and the woman were not there.She hurriedly went to the head nurse and learned they had left the hospital yesterda
The blush deepened on Melissa's cheeks as she stammered, "B-boss, that's nonsense. I…""Have you looked into what I asked?" Standing beside Melissa, Jenny suddenly changed the topic and asked about the young girl and her mother.Melissa was taken aback by the quick shift. "Huh? Oh, yeah, I got what you wanted. Let's check out the apartment now. After that, I'd bring you to meet with the mother and daughter."Tracking them down was a piece of cake, but Melissa wondered if she needed to inform Jenny about their pitiful fates to mentally prepare her for the visit.Jenny didn't ask more questions and followed Melissa to the neighborhood entrance. It took them ten minutes on foot to reach the place, which matched her requirements. She was satisfied with the environment as well. When she saw the apartment, she could not hold back from saying, "I can really trust Alfred to get it right." Finding an apartment that satisfied her conditions right away was no easy feat."Of course! Alfred al
Melissa dealt with some complicated feelings as she asked Jenny, "Do I look fierce?" Why was Helga's sister willing to talk to Jenny but not her? She wondered if she wasn't friendly enough when she introduced herself."You're alright." Jenny struggled to answer. Melissa always had a no-nonsense air around her, perhaps from her regular martial arts practice, which could make her appear unfriendly. Jenny was a martial arts practitioner too, but she was different from Melissa in that she wasn't only focused on the practice. That could explain why she looked gentler than Melissa.Melissa looked upset but didn't say a word. The door opened again, and the woman from just now poked her head out and said, "Come in."Jenny and Melissa followed her into the place, where they could see items scattered all around. They went into the only bedroom, where they found Helga lying on the bed, looking worse than before. "Dr. Walter, why are you here?" She was surprised to see Jenny. When her sister
Even when Helga was at death's door, the jerk didn't bother to care for her. Not only that, he kicked her out of the house along with their daughter to not affect his chances of remarriage. More damningly, he was not officially divorced—the couple was in the cooling-off period mandated by the law—but he was already looking to get a new wife. One didn't have to guess the fate of Amy living with a father like him.Initially, Helga was doubtful about the existence of the charity that Jenny mentioned. However, she came to a realization after hearing Melissa's words. Regardless of whether the charity existed, she needed to undergo surgery and survive, as that was the only way to take care of her daughter and watch her grow up happily and healthily. Half an hour later, she followed Jenny and Melissa into their car. This time, she left Amy under the care of her sister instead of bringing the kid along. If her surgery was a success, she'd return to pick Amy up. However, if the opposite was
