To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Do You Think You’re a Statue

The next morning, Jenny woke up exhausted. She got herself ready and rushed to the hospital.

Despite what had happened yesterday, she was not shaken. To her, work was work. Besides, her thoughts would spiral if she stayed at home all alone. If she was busy, she’d have no time to overthink things.

“Good morning, Dr. Walter.” Morgan smiled at her when she walked into the office. She’d learned a lot staying by Jenny’s side. Although her internship had not yet ended, a number of hospitals had already given her offers and opportunities. She was extremely happy.

Jenny nodded and forced out a smile.

Morgan sensed that something was amiss at once. She walked over, worried. “What’s wrong, Dr. Walter? You’re pale. Are you sick?”

“I’m fine. I couldn’t sleep last night.” Jenny shook her head. She couldn’t very well talk about Gilbert. That was a family matter.

Morgan was still worried. “There are quite a few surgeries lined up for today. Are you sure you can do them? Do you need me to reschedule some?”

“There’s no need to. I can carry out the surgeries just fine,” Jenny replied.

“I’m just worried about your health.” Morgan hurried to explain herself, thinking Jenny had taken her words the wrong way.

No, not completely.

She trained her gaze on a sofa nearby. A little lamp was turned on, and someone was sitting on the sofa.” Alec Faust?” She was uncertain. Why would he be here in the middle of the night?

Alec knew she was awake. The first thing he did was turn on the lights. The fear in his heart dissipated greatly.

“Haven’t you been to the doctor yet?” Jenny asked instinctively. Alec’s fear of the dark had not been cured.

He seemed to avoid the topic. “You haven’t had dinner, have you? You know you have stomach issues. Do you think you’re a statue?”
