To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 I’m Not a Hothouse Flower

Jenny blushed at the village chief’s assumption. She was about to clarify her relationship with Alec, but he spoke at the same time, “Let’s get your wound treated. I’ve asked Vincent to bring a rescue team here. They should arrive soon.”

“Okay.” She didn’t object to it because she needed to treat her right calf injury lest it became infected.

Alec helped her to a temporary tent. He immediately got a pair of scissors and cut off her jeans at the calf area to reveal a bloody wound.

“I’ll do it myself.” She felt a little embarrassed, His presence was touching enough for her, and she would not expect more from him.

Ignoring her, he went to work. He rinsed, disinfected, and bandaged her wound seamlessly. This came as a surprise to her. When he was done, he reminded her, “Get a good rest, and don’t move around.”

“I’m fine, but there must be a lot of injured villagers. I need to quickly treat their wound.” She was the only doctor around.

Alec frowned at her words. She was his priority. Taking care of the others was secondary for him, even if he promised to try his best.

She seemed to read his mind and told him sternly, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m not a hothouse flower. This minor injury won’t affect me much. I can help the injured.”
