To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 118

Chaptyer 118 Sudden Development

Stephanie fidgeted anxiously. After a beat, she said, “It’s just that the situation between us is a little complicated. The point is, I can’t explain it right now. Don’t bother with it.”

“Are you sure he’s not a scammer?” Jenny asked suspiciously.

“I’m sure of it.” Stephanie nodded. Of that point, she was certain.

Since Stephanie was so sure, Jenny felt bad about asking further. After all, these were Stephanie’s private matters. She had to give her friend some time. “Alright. Just take care of yourself.”

“Of course.” Stephanie nodded, but her heart ached.

When it came to matters of the heart, she had no resistance at all. She’d already given it all up. The thing was, she still had no clue what she meant to him.

“Mr. Spade!”

Suddenly, someone cried out further ahead. Jenny’s focus was instantly drawn there, where she found an old man with snowy hair crumpled on the ground.

“What happened?” Alec asked, rushing over.

“Mr. Spade collapsed!” a man in a suit said. His expression was panicked. He was a bodyguard tasked to protect Mr. Spade. If something bad happened, he was surely done for.

Just then, Old Mr. Faust came over as well. When he saw the man fainted on the ground, he was anxious as well. “Mr. Spade? Why didn’t he let me know he came?”

The man was a big player in Bardoff. That the man had come to celebrate his birthday was an honor for Zachary. How could he not have known that he was here?

“Mr. Spade mainly came over for a holiday. When he found out that you were throwing a birthday party, he came over to have a look. He told me not to inform you,” the suited man answered.

“Call for an ambulance immediately.” Zachary’s expression was grim. Now was not the time to assign blame. If something happened to Mr. Spade at his banquet, the entire Faust family would be in trouble.

Alec put away his cell phone. He said, “I’ve made the call.”

“I’m Dr. Walter, the deputy director of Parrington Hospital’s neurosurgery department. If you don’t want anything to happen to this old man, you have to listen to me.” Jenny was calm as she checked the dilation of the patient’s eyes, speaking blandly all the while.

The suited man wanted to retort, but Alec stopped him. “Listen to her.”

“Okay.”

He didn’t know this woman, but he knew Alec Faust. After all, Mr. Spade brought this young man up often. It was because Mr. Spade foresaw good things in Alec’s future that he was here to attend the party.

“The situation is dire. Rush the ambulance.” Jenny was imposing as she shouted at Alec. “Does this place have no basic first aid equipment?”

“They do. I got someone to get it.” For security reasons, of course, everything had been prepared.

“Oxygen. And a blood pressure meter,” Jenny ordered.

In the blink of an eye, Alec put the two items in Jenny’s hands.
