Chapter 244 Is My Share Included?
Jenny didn’t know what to say. Alec hadn’t taken care of himself, yet here he was, lecturing her about her own body. How ridiculous. She couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and simply glared at him. “I’m going home,” she said, getting up from her chair. “You can stay here if you like it so much.”
“I’m going with you.” What sort of a joke was this? He was there for Jenny. Why would he stay if she weren’t there?
They left the hospital. Before Jenny could hail a cab, Alec stopped his car in front of her. “It’s not safe to take the cab this late. I’ll send you home.”
“Thank you.” She didn’t refuse because she knew it was pointless; if she did, she’d still be wasting time with him here. She was exhausted. All she wanted was to go home and sleep. Her eyelids drooped shut in the car, and she fell asleep.
Alec glanced at her, feeling his heart ache. He’d heard from the hospital staff that she had performed surgeries all day without rest. It was no wonder that she was tired.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the apartment. While he was debating whether or not to wake her up, her eyes fluttered open.
“Weren’t you asleep?” He was surprised.
“Yeah.” She got down the car. Alec followed behind her quickly, and she looked back at him. “Why are you following me?”
“I haven’t eaten yet.” He’d come to see her right after finishing work at Faust Group. But then she had fallen asleep, so he had no choice but to wait for her in her office.
“Oh.” Jenny was expressionless, as if she couldn’t care less.
Alec didn’t mind. He carried the bag of groceries to the kitchen and set to work.
Jenny hadn’t woken up because of Alec; she woke up because of the aroma wafting from the kitchen. She walked into the kitchen and saw Alec making fried chicken, and a plate of fried sausages was laid on the table.
“Didn’t you say you were making ramen?” she asked, looking at him curiously.
His hands paused in the air for a bit. He smiled dryly. “These are the side dishes.”
“You have side dishes for ramen?” Jenny was speechless. Ramen was supposed to be a quick dinner solution. However, she didn’t press it further. She knew what was going on, but didn’t have the heart to face it. “Is my share included?” she asked weakly, suddenly feeling a little guilty.
