Jenny was ready to retort by clarifying that she backed down because it was impossible to take action on Yvonne, who had married into the Blooms. She didn't show Yvonne mercy for Alec's sake.However, she was interrupted by a villager who hurried over. "We heard crying from Clearwater Elementary! Some kids are still trapped under the school! The village chief wants me to inform you, Dr. Walter.""Alright. I'll head over." She snapped back to reality and quickly packed her first-aid supplies. Similarly, Alec was pulled back to reality, but he didn't complain about the interruption because rescuing victims was the priority."I'll hold that for you." He reached out to take the bag from her when she was about to put it on. Since she was focused on the rescue, she didn't refuse his help. After the initial earthquake, Jenny had once rushed to Clearwater Elementary and saved a few children. Since the villagers didn't hear any other response from below the rubble, they left to help the ot

The professional rescue team moved fast to remove the rocks and rubbles, revealing a semblance of the original look of the school."He's here!" someone shrieked, and everyone flocked over to the location, including Jenny. She soon realized that she couldn't be of help and could only wait silently on the side, watching as people brought Alec out from the rubble."Miss Walter!" Vincent shouted in great panic when he saw Alec unconscious. Jenny hurriedly went over and instructed, "Move him somewhere spacious."Alec had been moved to the side. To everyone's surprise, a few kids were discovered along with him, and they were all safe."A man protected us," the kids claimed. Everyone felt conflicted after learning about Alec's heroic actions. Jenny was surprised by his action because she had always thought he wasn't the type to sacrifice himself for others. The situation clearly proved her wrong, and she was lost. "Have I misunderstood him all along?" she wondered.Despite having man

When Jenny told the village chief about Alec's proposal, he was so elated and grateful that he almost knelt down before her."You and Mr. Faust are both good people, Dr. Walter!" His hands trembled, and he was at a loss for how to express his gratitude.Jenny helped to hold him up. "You don't have to thank me. It's all thanks to Mr. Faust."All the credit belonged to Alec, and she didn't want to take credit for his hard work. "No, no. Of course we're grateful for Mr. Faust's help in rebuilding the village, but we are also grateful for what you've done for us during the earthquake," the village chief said.He proceeded to utter a long thank you speech, but Jenny couldn't register most of his words. The words Alec had said to her as she left the tent echoed in her mind."I'll do anything as long as it makes you happy."It always confused her that Alec liked her. After all, she didn't think she was particularly charming enough to attract him."Dr. Walter, I'm going to talk to the

Surprisingly, Jenny was a little worried. She walked to his bed and asked, "Your head hurts? It shouldn't be hurting. I remember that your head was not injured when I checked it. Why would it hurt?""I don't know. Maybe there's an internal injury?" Alec said.Instantly, Jenny turned solemn. An internal injury was rather dire. "Don't move. Let me check your head again." She was worried and afraid that she hadn't checked carefully. Alec sat on the bed as Jenny loomed over him, bending down just enough to see the crown of his head. Then, she started pawing through his hair, determined to see every inch of his scalp clearly. However, no matter how hard she checked, she found no injuries. Jenny was puzzled."That doesn't make sense. Even if it's a cerebral hemorrhage, there should be marks left by the impact. It's impossible that there's nothing," she muttered, oblivious to the smile playing on Alec's lips.He leaned back, moving his head out of her sight. "Don't move—" Jenny said,

On the private plane back to Parrington, Jenny smiled as she watched Justin and Lilian, who were sitting beside her. In the end, the two children chose to leave Clearwater Village with her. Jenny knew that they did this because they trusted her.Meanwhile, Alec was dealing with work. It seemed that many work matters had accumulated over the past few days.Jenny leaned back in her seat, wondering how she would face him from now on. He had let go of everything when he heard she might be in an accident.Could she really be with him? That was a question she never thought about. After all, she thought that she would never have to interact with Alec for the rest of her life when they filed for divorce.Somehow, after her divorce, not only did she still meet him frequently, but he was also pursuing her. It made her feel rather uncomfortable. She tried to make sense of the situation but eventually fell asleep. When Jenny woke up, she found Alec next to her. His eyes were also closed, dee
