To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1286

Chapter 1286 A Long Night

When the lights of the emergency room sign went out, Gilbert shifted his gaze away from Janet, relieving her from the pressure, even if it was for a while. She followed behind him, listening to him asking the doctor about Zack's condition.

"He's not in critical condition, but we'll have to see how he fares in the next 24 hours," the doctor answered. Gilbert thanked him and watched the nurse wheel Zack into the ICU. Since he and Janet couldn't enter the ICU, they lingered at the entrance, not intending to leave.

Feeling guilty, she offered, "Gilbert, you should head home to rest. I can watch over him." She made the considerate suggestion because she worried that Gilbert would overexert himself.

However, he gave her a hard look. "Zack is my brother. I will watch over him."

He implied that she would remain an outsider as long as she wasn't married to Zack.

She went silent, not knowing what to say in the situation. The air between them froze. They sat at each end of the bench, an entire world separating the two like they were total strangers. It was going to be a long night.

Jenny woke up and started packing early in the morning, while Alec informed Old Mr. Faust about their departure. When she went to the first floor, she ran into Old Mr. Faust, who was up to date on the situation. He comforted her, "Jenny, don't worry. He's a lucky guy, and he'll be fine."
