To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1284

"Ahhh—" Janet's scream pierced through the air. She ran toward Zack like a madwoman when she saw him get stabbed. Before she could go nearer, she was kicked aside by the man. She lost consciousness right after, but before she blacked out, she seemed to see Zack smiling at her as though he was trying to assuage her. She wanted to tell him how upset she was, but in the end, she didn't have the opportunity to do so.

Meanwhile, Jenny woke up groggily at the Old Mansion in Parrington when her phone rang. She was confused when she saw the caller's name. Why would Gilbert call her at this time of night?

"Gilbert?" she answered the call. "Why are you calling at this hour?"

It was just after 1 am, and she was fast asleep until she was awoken by Gilbert's call, which puzzled her.

"What?" She was instantly awake after hearing what Gilbert had to say, and she sat up straight in the bed. "Zack's hurt?"

"Calm down. He's fine. He's at the hospital," Gilbert hurriedly explained to stop her from worrying. He added, "I didn't want to call you, but I worried you would blame me for not keeping you in the loop. So, here I am, telling you about it. I'm not here to make you worried." He knew her well. She'd be upset for not getting the news right away, so he decided to call in the wee hours of the night.

She had gotten out of bed and started dressing. "Of course you have to tell me right away! You're at Bardoff Hospital, right? I'm coming over right now. Let's talk when I'm there."

"Stop!" he scolded. "Don't you ever check the time? You're in Parrington! How on earth are you supposed to travel here?"

She snapped back to reality. Right, she was in Parrington, and there were no flights to Bardoff City at that time.

"Get a good rest and come to Bardoff City tomorrow. He's fine. He only suffered from some bruises."
