Chapter 756 I Have No Right to Blame You
The atmosphere in the room turned awkward again. Jenny forced a laugh and pretended not to hear him.
“Didn’t I ask you to buy me water? Where is it?”
“Uh, don’t you have some water by your bed?’ Evan pointed to a flask of water on the bedside table. He was all but telling her that he knew she deliberately tried to get rid of him.
It made Jenny more embarrassed. Gritting her teeth, Jenny forced herself to say, “I wanted some bottled water.”
“Oh, is that so? I’m sorry I didn’t buy you any.” Evan apologized to her without exposing her lie.
Jenny decided to move on from that topic. “I’m fine here. If you have something else to do, please go ahead and do it.”
“I just returned to my home country. What is there to do?” He didn’t have anything else planned, and he was also worried about Jenny.
“Didn’t Gilbert bring you back to help him with work? Why don’t you help him out?” Jenny knew there was no way Evan could weasel himself out of that.
With a helpless smile, Evan replied, “Sure, I’ll take a look later.”
Despite continuing with some small talk, Evan didn’t reveal his intentions. He had just returned to the country, and he and Jenny were a little distant. Hence, he decided that there was no need to rush things.
After he left, Jenny relaxed a bit. Perhaps it had been too long since they last met.
She wasn’t as relaxed in front of Evan as she was in front of Gilbert.
Putting him out of her mind, she began browsing the news on her phone to kill the boredom of recuperation. Suddenly, her eyes spotted an article that had garnered widespread attention and discussion.
It was about Alec and Blake. The two had attended an event together, where Blake held Alec’s arm. When a reporter asked what their status was, Blake said they were in a relationship. Alec stood aside and did not refute, tacitly agreeing.
Although there had been rumors about the two being together before, the article confirmed them. Jenny looked at the news, lost in thought.
Just then, Alec knocked on the door to Jenny’s hospital room. When he walked in, Jenny hadn’t turned off her phone yet, and he spotted the news she was reading.
For some reason, he felt a little flustered.
“Anything I can help you with, Mr. Faust?” Jenny turned off her phone and looked at him coldly.
Alec walked over and sat beside Jenny’s bed, “Your injury.Js it alright?”
“What do you think, Mr. Faust? If I had shot Miss Watkins three times instead, would you still think it’s no big deal?” Jenny knew she had to be rational. She knew it was
Alec’s choice of who he wanted to be with, but seeing them together still upset her. Hence, the way she spoke to him wasn’t very nice.
Perhaps Alec felt guilty as he didn’t retort to her ridicule.
“I’m sorry I didn’t answer your call right away.”
“It’s fine, Mr. Faust. We’re not that close anyway. It’s normal for you not to answer my call.” Jenny was cold and distant, all but telling him that she was upset.
Hearing that, Alec’s heart suddenly felt heavy. ‘I’m sorry.” His sudden apology surprised Jenny. “Mr. Faust, you don’t have to apologize. I meant what I said. You didn’t have to answer my call. Besides, I have no right to blame you,”
Jenny said, feeling a sharp pang in her heart.
She couldn’t even understand how she and Alec could come to where they were after they were so close to getting back together.
Perhaps they were really not meant to be. They divorced after they married and broke up after they got together. Just when they were about to reconcile, something like this happened.
It was fate.
