To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 You’re Not Invincible

Justin, about your parents…” Jenny stared at the sensible child in front of him as she struggled to explain the death of his parents.

Compared to her, he was more forthright on the topic. “I know that Mommy and Daddy went to heaven. They became stars and will look after Lilian and me from the sky.”

She was taken aback. “Stars?”

“Yes, Alec told me that.” The five-year-old nodded. He was too young to grasp the concept of death.

‘Does Alec have a soft side to him?” Jenny wondered. Right then, Alec walked into the tent, and they looked at each other. She asked, “Has the rescue ended?”

“Yes, for now.” He nodded. “Without more advanced detectors, we can’t tell where the buried victims are. We can only wait for the rescue team to arrive.”

After a day’s hard work, everyone was tired to the bone. It was counterproductive to request that they blindly search for victims. The best thing everyone could do was to wait.

The fact weighed heavily on her heart. She understood that Alec was stating the facts, but the thought of people buried alive under the rubble dampened her mood.

Alec gave Justin a piece of candy and caressed his head. “Go find Lilian. Okay?”

“Okay.”

After Justin left, Alec and Jenny were alone in the tent. He comforted her, “I understand your feeling as a doctor who wants to save every single soul. But please know that you’re not invincible.”

She pursed her lips and forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I understand.”

Jenny frowned, troubled by the realization that she couldn’t lay a finger on Yvonne, who had married into the Blooms. She had total confidence in Max and Gilbert to take over the Dickmans’ business, but it would be hard for them to acquire a larger combined entity now that the Blooms were involved. Even if they wanted to, they might make enemies by taking over businesses consecutively.

“I know you don’t like Yvonne, but it’s hard for you to make a move on her now that she’s married into the

Blooms,” Alec reminded Jenny, but he offered, “If you really want to make a move on her, I can help you.”

“You?” She gave him an amused look. “Are you going to spare her after what she did to you?”

“I’m working with Max Pearson and Gilbert Hawthorn. If they share a portion of the Dickmans’ assets with me, I will get the Blooms to stop bailing out the Dickmans,” Alec replied. When the Dickmans went down, Yvonne might be put in an uneasy position.

“Is that all?” She lifted an eyebrow.
