To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 You’re Being Investigated

The next day at Parrington Hospital, Jenny received a phone call from Zack right after completing a surgery.

“You’re being investigated,” he said. “They’re pretty good. You can’t hide your whereabouts in the country for much longer.”

Jenny was intrigued. “It’s okay, Zack. So what if they find out about me? There are no skeletons in my closet.”

“I thought you didn’t want Alec to find out,” Zack said playfully.

Jenny smiled nonchalantly. “I don’t really care if he does. And if he doesn’t ask, I won’t bring it up.” Based on Zack’s words, she suspected that it was Alec who was investigating her. It was possible.

“Are you busy lately? You seem to have surgery to perform every day,” Zack said. He wasn’t in the country. so he wasn’t caught up with Jenny.

“Yeah, but it’s fine. It prevents me from overthinking.”

They chatted for a little while longer before saying their goodbyes. Jenny was about to carry on with her work, but someone knocked on her door.

The person walked in quickly. She was surprised to see him. “Mr. Pearson?”

“Just call me Max,” he said, walking up to her.

She looked solemn but didn’t reply. “Why are you here?” she asked.

“Well.” Max looked a little guilty as she stared at him. “I wanted to ask you out for lunch.”

Jenny frowned. “Sorry. I have a meeting in the afternoon. I probably can’t make it.”
