Chapter 752 Long Forgotten
While Jolene gave Rowena a call, Jenny woke up in the hospital. She just had a dream in which she was running on an endless path. At the peak of her despair, a person fell from the sky—Alec.
Seeing him, she was elated, thinking that Alec still liked her. She believed that his memory loss and disinterest were fake. However, amid her joy, she opened her eyes to the sight of Evan, not Alec. She was momentarily stunned but quickly remembered what had happened.
“What did you dream about? I saw you smiling earlier, but now you’re not. Are you disappointed to see me?” Evan joked.
Coming to her senses, Jenny let out an awkward laugh. ’Evan, stop teasing me.’
“Alright, fine. Are you hungry?” Evan asked.
Jenny nodded. Since she hadn’t eaten for almost a day, she was hungry.
“You have to stay hungry a little longer. The doctor said you can’t eat yet and can only drink a little water.” He handed her the warm water in his hand.
Jenny rolled her eyes at him. “If I’m not allowed to eat, why did you ask me? Are you trying to pull my leg?”
“I’m just trying to lighten your mood,” Evan said with a grin before helping her lean against the headboard.
Sitting up, Jenny finally had the opportunity to ask, “Evan, why did you suddenly come back? You haven’t answered my question.”
They hadn’t seen each other for many years, and they hadn’t had much contact during those years. Jenny had almost forgotten that he existed. “If I said you’re the reason I returned, would you believe me?” Evan looked at her, his eyes filled with emotions.
He believed that Jenny could see the emotions in his eyes.
Jenny did see it, but it only made her confused. ‘Evan, would you stop joking around?’
Evan let out a laugh to ease the tension. “I met Gilbert while I was abroad, and he invited me back to do work with him.”
Jenny nodded, believing that this was the real reason.
“Where’s Gilbert?” Jenny asked.
“I told him to go and rest. Since he worked hard to find you, I guessed you wouldn’t want him to stay here and wait for you to wake up.”
Jenny didn’t deny that. Looking at Evan, she asked, ‘You must have come with him to find me, right? Aren't you tired?”
“I’m alright,” Evan said. There was no way he could tell her that he had intentionally remained there just so that he could be the first person Jenny saw when she woke up.
“I’m fine now. You can go and rest.” Jenny felt bad for making him stay. Even though they used to be close, many years had passed, and many things had changed.
However, Evan didn’t leave. Looking at her, he recalled something from the past.
“Jenny, do you remember what you said when you confessed to me all those years ago?”
Jenny blushed slightly when she heard that. “Evan, that was years ago. I’ve long forgotten.”
Disappointed, Evan said, “But I haven’t. After all these years, I still remember it clearly.”
It put Jenny in an awkward position, and she didn’t know what to say.
Grinning, Evan said, “Don’t think too much about it. I’m just trying to tell you that you were really cute back then. You’ve changed a bit now, and we’ve grown distant. Go to sleep. I’ll stay here with you.”
With that, Evan walked over to the nearby sofa and lay there, showing no intention of leaving.
