To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 1293

Janet shook her head while crying. "No one bullied me." No one dared to bully her with Zack by her side.

He badly wanted to hug his inconsolable lover, but he was unable to move and was forced to watch on helplessly. "Janet, don't cry. I can't even give you a hug right now."

She cried even louder at his remark. "Why are you…so foolish?"

"I'm not foolish. If I were a fool, I wouldn't have come across a lovely girl like you," he answered with a chuckle, feeling like the happiest man on earth at that moment.

She felt his love, but the love had become such a suffocating burden for her. She loved him too, but she believed she wasn't a good match for him.

It took her a while to calm down. She patted her eyes dry. "Zack, I'm sorry. You got hurt because of me." She thought an apology was warranted.

"Janet, we are one. We don't owe each other anything. If I were the one in trouble, I believe you would have rushed over to save me." He didn't need her apology because she wasn't at fault.

Still, she felt bad for him. "My parents…"

"Don't overthink now. When I'm discharged, let's pay them a visit. We might figure out a way to deal with them." Growing up without parents, Zack had no idea about the family dynamics between Janet and her parents. It was said that a parent's love for the child was universal, but he didn't feel that Janet's parents had any love for her. Maybe there were indeed parents who had no affection for their children, and Janet's parents were an example. Well, his parents too…

Had they loved him, they wouldn't have abandoned him and made him an orphan.

"But I can't sleep." He woke up feeling as though he had slept for a century. Moreover, he was worried that Janet would leave him after he fell asleep.

She flashed him a defeated smile. "Even so, you should lie in bed and rest."

“Join me, then?" He raised his eyebrows cheekily. If she joined him in bed, time would go by faster.

She promptly blushed. "How?"

"Why not? We can squeeze into this bed." Then, he moved a little to the side to make space for her. The blush on her cheeks deepened.
