Jenny laughed when she heard that.
"Let's just leave him blocked. We have no need to contact each other anyway."
With that, she put away her phone, not intending to remove Alec from the list of blocked contacts.
Jenny was resentful because if Alec had answered her call, she might have been rescued earlier, and she wouldn't have been shot twice nor forced to jump off a cliff. Although she knew a river was below the cliff, she hadn't known if she would survive.
She wondered if Alec would feel guilty if she had died there. She had no way of knowing the answer and didn't care to know.
"Could you buy me a bottle of water?" Jenny asked Evan. "I'm a little thirsty."
Evan nodded and got up, understanding that she wanted to talk to Gilbert alone.
After Evan left, Jenny turned to Gilbert and asked, "Why did you bring him back, Gilbert?"
Gilbert sat down beside her bed and asked, "What's wrong? Are you upset to see him back?"
Without much emotion, Jenny replied, "I have no reason to be happy or upset about it."
Confused, Gilbert wondered if his good intentions were doing more harm than good. He asked, "I remember you used to like him when you were young. Don't you still like him?"
Jenny answered, "That was a long time ago. How could you take that seriously?"
He knew Jenny didn't want to hear about it.
Waving at her, he said, "I'll head back to work. I just returned, and there's still much to do."
Although he stopped pestering Jenny about Evan, he was still creating an opportunity for Evan to get closer to her.
Jenny nodded and said, "Be careful. Who knows what those mercenaries will do before they leave."
She didn't know what the Glasses would do next. Since they had spent a large sum hiring the mercenaries, they were unlikely to stop attacking her.
"Okay, I have arranged for people to watch over you, but you still need to be careful," Gilbert said before leaving the ward.

Можно узнать почему в середине перевода нет на каждой странице в середине перевода нет...
Loved the novel!! Hated the ending. It felt rushed to get it finished. I hope there is a sequel. There is a ton of potential for one....
The adds are getting worse! I shouldn't have to see porn to read a book...
