To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 747

Jenny wanted to answer in the affirmative, but she really wasn't in the mood to embrace her pain right now. "Wh-what are you doing here?"

She'd imagine seeing Gilbert or even Alec on the search for her, not Evan, who she'd not seen in ages.

Evan gently set her down, then crouched again. "We'll get to that later. C'mon, hop on."

Piggybacking her out would be easier than a princess carry.

"It's…it's fine. You just need to help me walk." Though they'd grown up together, she still maintained some distance considering the actual distance between them over the years.

"Just climb on up, Jen. We can't linger here a minute longer. You don't want to die out here, do you?"

He was right. The mercenaries were most likely still looking for her, so sticking around was a death sentence to both of them. Ultimately, she climbed onto his back so he could carry her out of the woods.

Jenny could smell a faint pine scent on the man's clothes, something she'd familiarized with him since long ago. It instantly made her feel safe and calm.

She fell asleep just like that as Evan quietly carried her to safety. She would've fallen off long ago if it weren't for her tense muscles from being injured.

Gilbert and his men soon met Evan.

"I'll carry her." he offered, but Evan didn't let him.

"We need to get her to the hospital ASAP. Hurry."

Gilbert gave him a pointed look but didn't say anything else.
