After hearing the sound of the bedroom door closing, Jenny blushed and cautiously opened the bathroom door. She then took the towel and clothes. The clothes belonged to Alec and had a masculine woody scent; they didn't quite fit her.However, that was the least of Jenny's concerns at that moment. She would just wear them for a while and change when she got home. With that in mind, she put on Alec's shirt and came out of the bathroom. Thank goodness for the heating. Otherwise, not only would it be cold outside, but the house would be freezing too. Jenny walked from the bedroom to the living room. Alec sat on the couch while waiting for her to come out. Hearing her footsteps, he turned to her and asked, "Do you feel better now?""Yeah. Much better," she replied gratefully. Although she felt slightly dizzy, the soreness in her body had somewhat subsided."I bought some medicine for you. Since you're a doctor, you can decide which ones to take," he said. He'd asked the pharmacist but
When Jenny walked into the living room and saw the hot oatmeal on the dining table, she was a little stunned. She looked at Alec, still busying himself in the kitchen, and a warm feeling washed over her. She took a step toward him and said, "Hey."She called out softly, and he turned around with a smile. "Oh, you're awake already. Do you feel better?" he asked with concern."Yeah. I feel better now." Jenny nodded and walked toward him. She was surprised to see that he was making tortellini. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Then, she asked, "What time did you get up?""I don't remember. It was still dark outside." Alec said with a laugh, not minding that he'd gotten no sleep at all. It was his first time making tortellini, so he wasn't very familiar with the process. Fortunately, he had some talent for cooking, so his attempt didn't end up in failure.Alec was about to ask Jenny to have breakfast when he suddenly felt Jenny's warm body in his arms."Why are you so good to
Jenny started working at the hospital as usual. Although her condition was better, and she wasn't as uncomfortable as the night before, she hadn't fully recovered yet and still felt a little dizzy. However, it didn't affect her much, and she still insisted on going to work and consulting patients in the outpatient clinic."Next," she called out to the waiting area.Shortly after, someone pushed the door open and entered. Jenny, who was typing on her computer, didn't immediately look up to see who it was. When she finished and looked up at the patient across from her, she was a little surprised."Miss York?" Jenny was puzzled when she saw that the patient was Alexandra.Alexandra was evidently displeased, and there was a hostile look in her eyes as she stared at Jenny. "Hello, Dr. Walter," she greeted.Jenny sensed Alexandra's unfriendliness and stared back at her for a few seconds. Then, she asked, "What's wrong?""My heart," Alexandra answered.Jenny frowned and leaned back in
"Ah!"Just as Jenny finished speaking, a cup of hot coffee was splashed toward her in the next second, catching her off guard. She hadn't anticipated it, so the coffee splashed all over her face, instantly blurring her vision.She wasn't feeling well, to begin with, and Alexandra's sudden act of rudeness further aggravated her condition of discomfort. Jenny shot an icy glare at her attacker."Well, well. Such is the way a daughter of the York family carries herself.""What's that supposed to mean? Are you threatening me with your family's backing?" Alexandra sneered, meeting Jenny's gaze squarely and unflinchingly. She then said, "Jenny, don't think you're so great just because you're the head of the Walters. Let me tell you, even if you have a distinguished status, you still have to pay the price for your wrongdoing!"Jenny didn't reply. Instead, she took a tissue to wipe the coffee off of herself. "Is that so? I'll say the same right back at you."She would make Alexandra under
Right then, Jenny had a massive headache and wasn't in the mood to argue with them any longer. She shook off Derrick's hand and said with some difficulty, "You guys talk. I'll go downstairs first." She was afraid she would faint there and then if she continued to let it drag out any longer.She went into the elevator, but McKenna didn't intend to let her leave as she stared at Jenny angrily and said, "Jenny, what do you mean? You clearly rejected Derrick, but now you're flirting with him. Do you want to have your cake and eat it too?""You're overthinking things. I'm not interested in him," Jenny said, her head pounding.Unfortunately, McKenna didn't believe her. "I'm overthinking things? Are you saying that I was mistaken?" McKenna sneered and halted the elevator there.Jenny was at a loss for words. She looked at Derrick standing outside the elevator and asked, "Can you guys go out and talk? I need to go downstairs urgently.""Jenny!" McKenna got even angrier upon being brushe
After realizing she'd misunderstood Derrick, McKenna felt a bit embarrassed. "Who knows what you were thinking? After all, you did like her before."Although McKenna said that, Derrick knew that she was no longer angry. She just couldn't come to terms with it right now."It was my fault for not handling it properly, which led to your misunderstanding. I promise it won't happen again next time," Derrick said without blaming McKenna.Hearing him say that, McKenna felt much better. "So, does that mean you won't take care of her if you see her sick the next time?"Derrick felt awkward and only spoke up after a while, "I'll quickly call other colleagues to take her downstairs together."He was sure that if he said he wouldn't help Jenny, McKenna would be unhappy with his answer as well because she would think he was heartless.Sure enough, McKenna wasn't angry anymore after hearing him say that. "Well, that's about right.""McKenna, are you not angry anymore?" Derrick asked, still a
Half an hour later, McKenna and Derrick were in the hospital director's office."So, you mean Jenny disappeared from the hospital?" Gavin Porter, the hospital director, adjusted his glasses and looked at the two incredulously.McKenna nodded and replied, "Yes, I saw her go to the third floor with my own eyes, but the people on the third floor said they never saw her. Furthermore, Mr. Zeller, who was downstairs, said he didn't see Jenny leaving. Isn't this considered a disappearance?""Could she have left through the back door?" Gavin asked. The hospital had a back door specifically for medical staff, after all."We went to check and asked the security there too, but they didn't see her leave," Derrick added.Gavin frowned, thinking that the two of them seemed to be making a fuss over nothing. Sensing what he was thinking, Derrick went on, "Jenny's phone is now unreachable, and her condition when I last saw her wasn't good. No matter what, we need to find her first. What if somethi
With a creak, the door was pushed open. The big man from before walked into the room and stared coldly at Jenny. "Miss Walter, ask Alec to come and save you."Jenny furrowed her brow. "Here we go again."Was Zeke never going to give up? He'd just suffered a serious blow, and now he was targeting her again. Was he so eager to have another taste of defeat? "We have no choice. You're someone Alec values," the man said.Jenny stared at him with suspicion. "Did Zeke send you?"She couldn't help but wonder if Zeke would make another attempt again so quickly. The Fausts weren't doing well currently. They didn't have a high chance of success by making a move again so soon. It didn't seem like Zeke's style of doing things."There's no need for you to know who sent me," the man replied without giving a definite answer.Jenny looked at him for a moment, then lowered her head and stopped talking."It doesn't matter if you don't speak. We've already notified Alec, and he should be here soo
