Chapter 1234 Not a Fool

Vincent quickly came in with a doctor, and after a brief check, it was determined that

Alec's injuries had improved; at least, he was no longer in critical condition. However, he

needed to lie in bed for a while.

After the doctors finished their examination, they quickly left. Vincent poured Alec a glass

of water to let him moisten his lips. "Mr. Faust, you can't eat yet. You have to bear with it

for now."

"Understood. You're dismissed for now,' Alec said, voice slightly hoarse.

Vincent got up and left, leaving only Jenny and Alec in the ward. At this point, they could

finally take a good look at each other.

Both of them were sitting halfway up against the headboard of the bed. They wanted to

get closer to each other but couldn't. They could only smile wryly.

"Why did you come to my room?” Alec was the first to speak, with a hint of teasing in his

voice, trying to ease the somewhat oppressive atmosphere between them.

Jenny didn't answer but asked him, "Why did you protect me then? Weren't you afraid of

getting hurt yourself?*

"It’s better for me to get hurt instead of you." That was Alec's first thought at the time. As

long as Jenny was okay, that was all he cared about.

Jenny pursed her lips and remained silent.

Alec's answer was so straightforward and affirmative, with almost no hesitation. Jenny

could tell that, to him, her life was more important than his own.

But...

Jenny couldn't help but ask herself, could she do what Alec did if she was the one driving

the car? She wasn't sure.

She wasn't someone who was driven by love to do all sorts of unimaginable things. She

was very rational and always thought that no one was more important than herself.

Now...she felt a little guilty.

She looked at Alec and said, "Alec, what if I can't love you as much as you love me?"

"It doesn't matter. I want to protect you. But if it was you in my place, I hope you would

protect yourself." Alec looked at her and didn't feel sad because of Jenny's words.

Alec would rather Jenny love and protect herself more. He didn't want her to do anything

or make any sacrifices for him.

Jenny's eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but curse, "You're so immature!*

"Don't cry. I can't come over and wipe your tears now." Alec felt heartbroken. Although the

lights in the ward were dim, he could still tell that Jenny was crying.

Originally, Jenny's tears were only brewing. But upon hearing Alec's selfless words, they

burst out uncontrollably.

"You jerk!" Jenny cried and cursed at the same time.

Alec was confused. Wasn't he comforting her with his words? Why was she crying even

louder now?

"Jenny, I'm sorry. I..."

"You didn't do anything wrong, so why are you apologizing?" Jenny said angrily, feeling

that he was being a fool. She wiped away her tears and didn't continue crying. "I'm fine, I

just think you're so foolish."

"You're wrong, I'm not foolish," Alec retorted. He didn't think he was foolish. On the

contrary, he thought he was very smart. Fortunately, he'd protected Jenny in time;

otherwise, she would have been seriously injured now, and he would have been

heartbroken to see that.

Now, he could take her place and suffer in her stead. Alec didn't think he was foolish at all.

Jenny glanced at him, and their eyes met. They could both see the deep affection in each

other's eyes. It was just that they were unable to get out of bed now; otherwise, they

would have held and kissed each other passionately.

Jenny felt a little embarrassed, so she shifted her gaze and changed the topic. "The police

said this was an accident. What do you think?" "It's definitely not an accident. It was

aimed at us." As for whether it was aimed at him or Jenny specifically, he wasn't sure.
