To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 998

"He's still in the ICU. You should eat something first. We'll go and visit him tomorrow," Alec said as he looked at Jenny.

She hadn't fully recovered, but she wanted to visit Evan immediately. Alec felt a little bothered about it. However, he didn't say anything. He knew how much Jenny valued favors. She, like him, disliked owing anyone anything, especially when it involved matters of life and death.

Jenny shook her head and insisted, "I'll just take a look from outside. I can't rest easy if I don't see him with my own eyes."

"Alright." Alec knew he couldn't stop her. So, he didn't prevent her from going to see Evan. He thought it wouldn't do her any harm if her mind could be at ease.

With that, he helped Jenny out of the ward and headed straight for the ICU where Evan was. Because Jenny was a doctor at the hospital, she was allowed to go in and see Evan. Even so, she didn't go in but just peered through the small window on the door.

"I-I don't know how to face him," Jenny choked out. Evan hadn't woken up yet and didn't know that he would have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Jenny couldn't imagine how devastated he would be when he found out.

Alec hugged her, feeling his heart ache for her. "It's okay, Jenny. No one will blame you."

"I know he won't blame me." But she blamed herself. She wondered why she hadn't been more careful and blamed herself for getting kidnapped. If it hadn't been for her, Evan wouldn't have had to suffer.

She began to wonder if she was a jinx who brought misfortune to the people around her.

Alec didn't know how to comfort Jenny. He knew that nothing he said right now would make a difference. Hence, he just held her tight, as if the tighter he held her, the less likely she would leave him.

When they returned to their ward, the food had arrived. Alec opened it and handed it to Jenny. "Eat something first. Don't forget that you're a patient too."

Jenny nodded, but her gaze was vacant as she ate. Alec sighed and said, "Jenny, I know you're upset right now, but no matter what, you have to take care of yourself. You still have me, and seeing you in such a state pains me."

"I'm sorry. I just..." She just needed time to come to terms with what happened.
