To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 1062

Alec thought he could hide the truth from Jenny if he didn't use his study at home. Little did he know that Jenny could see the light from his bedroom even though she didn't have a direct view from her bedroom.

Without hesitation, she called him.

"Jenny, what's wrong?" He jumped a little when he saw the incoming call but calmed down before picking up.

"Alec, where are you now?" she seethed. He silently gulped, thinking, "Is she back at the hospital?" That was unlikely to happen because Evan wouldn't let her leave after getting her to return.

With that in mind, he tried his best to keep himself together. "Why? Are you in the hospital?"

"No. I'm home," she replied.

He felt relieved knowing she probably didn't learn about his discharge. He said, "I'm at the hospital. Why? Do you want to keep me company?" He told a bare-faced lie without fear since they were talking over the phone.

She smirked. "Really? Did you not sneak out of the hospital?"

"Of course I didn't. Since I'd promise you to take care of my health, I will never do anything irresponsible," Alec bluffed confidently. Jenny would have fallen for the lie if she hadn't seen the light from his bedroom.

She clutched her phone as she tethered on the brink of rage. "Alec, do you take me as a fool? Who turned on the lights in your bedroom if you're not home?"

He fell silent, wondering if it'd work if he rushed to turn off the lights. It was clearly too late to do so.

She chastised him, "Alec! You're such a hypocrite. Why are you kicking up all these troubles?" She huffed as she choked on anger.

He didn't need to see her face to picture her being angry. "Jenny, I didn't like staying at the hospital because you weren't with me."

"Huh." She did not believe in a word he uttered. "Are you telling me you had never been to the hospital before meeting me?"

"Yeah." He nodded.
