"Do you not know Steph?" Jenny asked in disbelief. Even she couldn't believe what she was saying, but Alec's response suggested that he had no idea who Stephanie was.
He quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Who is she? Why would I waste my time to get to know her?"
"Alec, what's wrong with you? Steph is my best friend. You've met her before; you know her. Why are you reacting like this now?" It seemed as if he'd never met Stephanie, and Jenny couldn't understand how the situation came to this.
Jenny's words made Alec realize that despite his investigation and reading up on information related to them, there were still many missing pieces. Stephanie was a good example right now. She had no connection with him, but they knew each other because of Jenny, and they had met before. However, he had no memory of this person.
Not wanting Jenny to know about his amnesia, he tried to cover it up by saying disdainfully, "So what if I know her? Since I'm not interested in her. Why would I waste my time on her?"
He didn't deny that he knew Stephanie, as it wasn't something he could deny. He put up a front to show that he wasn't interested in her and didn't care about her affairs.
Jenny frowned, feeling something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it right then.
Taking a deep breath, she temporarily suppressed her doubts and asked him, "If you're not interested in her, why are you here? Could it be you're here because you care about me?"
"Of course not." Alec denied without hesitation, but after denying it, he was puzzled.
Why did he come? He had heard the receptionist talking on the phone and learned that Jenny had called a doctor, so he followed along. But why? He didn't like Jenny, so whether she had an accident or not had nothing to do with him.
Jenny looked at Alec suspiciously, as his reaction was too abnormal. "Are you sure your psychological issues are really resolved?"
"Of course." Alec nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. I have to say, the psychologist you introduced to me is very effective."
