To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Reconstruction

At night, the village chief headed to Alec’s tent. Jenny figured that the villager’s discussion had come to fruition. She was a little curious whether the villagers would choose to leave or stay.

The village chief and Alec chatted for two hours before he finally came out of the tent. Seeing the wide smile on the village chief’s face, Jenny knew he was delighted with the outcome. After some hesitation, she entered Alec’s tent.

“I knew you would come,” Alec said, grinning when she walked in. He appeared to have expected her arrival.

Instead of beating around the bush, Jenny asked directly, “What did they choose?”

“They chose to stay here during the reconstruction,” Alec replied. “The village chief said that the villagers have lived here for generations, so they don’t want to leave.”

Jenny was not surprised by the result. “Well, it’s their hometown, after all. It’d be difficult for them to leave it behind just like that.”

“Vincent will monitor the construction here, so don’t worry about it. Come back to Parrington with me.” He was worried about Jenny remaining in the village.

After a moment of silence, Jenny agreed. Due to the earthquake, the free clinic program would have to end early. She would have to wait until the reconstruction was finished before she could return to the village.

“I want to bring two kids home,” she informed Alec.

“You mean the kids who lost their parents?” Alec knew about the children, and he pitied them. However, he was a little concerned that Jenny wanted to bring them back.

Jenny nodded. “No one here is willing to raise them, so they wouldn’t survive here.”

“Do you have any plans for them after you bring them to Parrington? Are you going to adopt them?” Alec knew that Jenny was kind, but he also had to remind her of the consequences of her actions.

She was talking about bringing back two humans, not two pets. If she brought them back, she would be responsible for them for the rest of their lives.

Jenny was also doubtful about the situation. Although she was once married, it wasn’t a normal marriage. Hence, she had no experience raising children and had no idea what to do with the prospect of suddenly having two of them.
