To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 He’s in Pain Too

It was yet another busy day in the hospital. Jenny had two surgeries scheduled in the morning; when lunchtime came around, she was exhausted. She had just sat down in her office when Zack called.

“Hey, Zack,” she answered. “Have you found it?”

“Yes. I’ve already forwarded Simone Bloom’s schedule to your inbox,” Zack said. Although he had no idea what Jenny wanted it for, he didn’t ask.

“Alright. Thanks, Zack, Jenny said. It was great having someone help her out. At least she wouldn’t have so much on her plate. She couldn’t help thinking about Gilbert. She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Have you heard from Gilbert lately?”

“Yes,” he said, then asked, “Hasn’t he contacted you?”

Jenny smiled bitterly. There was an ache in her heart. “He’s never contacted me since the day he left.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to contact him; she just didn’t have the guts to call. She feared that she’d be influencing Gilbert if she called, so she had to keep her distance until he finally thought. things through.

Zack was quiet on the other end. He was no longer the naive Zack from before. “Don’t blame him, Jenny. He’s probably in pain too.” He knew how much Gilbert cared for Jenny. It must have been torture keeping his distance, afraid a single phone call would unleash the unthinkable.

Jenny’s eyes felt prickly. How could she blame Gilbert? She was just upset. “I’m not blaming him. I’m just worried about his overall being in a foreign country.”

“Don’t worry. Gilbert is much stronger than us. He’s doing well overseas. The company’s branch has been established. Everything is going according to plan.” Gilbert had said nothing to Jenny, but he had contacted Zack. It was why he knew so much.
