Chapter 1292 How Could He Say It's Worth It?
Jenny could tell that Gilbert was upset. She quickly added, "Gilbert, I know you're doing
this in Zack's best interest. But he's an adult now. We can't make decisions for him."
He merely waved his hand. "That's enough. You should leave." Then, he trudged ahead
and disappeared from her sight. Perhaps, it was time to have a life of his own instead of
focusing all his attention on Jenny and Zack. As the eldest, he always acted like a father,
worrying they'd date partners who were unsuitable for them.
She was woeful at the sight of Gilbert leaving. "Was I too harsh to him just now?”
Alec gave her a back hug and said affirmatively, "No. You were right. It's Gilbert who needs
to think about it. He puts himself in the role of a father by disciplining you. But in truth,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe's not that much older than both of you, and he never had the experience of being a
father. He doesn't have more life experience compared to you. You're not at fault. He's the
one who has confused his role."
Despite that, Jenny didn't feel better at all and wallowed in a low mood. Seeing that, Alec
hurriedly changed the topic. "Jenny, don't you have any pity for me? I haven't had dinner,
and I'm starving." His stomach cooperatively rumbled at the same time.
It struck her that they had not had dinner before arriving at the hospital. In fact, they
haven't ate any food since alighting the plane.
"Sorry for making you starve with me." She looked sheepish. "Let's go and have a nice
meal. I'll buy you dinner."
"Sure. I'll eat you out of house and home, my wife-to-be!" He chuckled and held her hand
as they left the hospital.
Meanwhile, things weren't as harmonious between Zack and Janet in his room.
"Janet, what's wrong? Why haven't you said a word?" He noticed that she had been silent
ever since he woke up. She refused to speak, and he grew concerned. "Are you in shock?
Don't worry. I promise I won't let this happen again."
She finally lifted her head and stared at him. "How could you promise that? You weren't
even the cause behind this incident."
"Janet..."
"You had nothing to do with it and didn't have to risk yourself to save me. You almost lost
your life. Got it?" Fuming, she glared at him with misty eyes.
That caught him off guard, but he quickly collected himself. "That won't happen. I'm going
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto be with you forever. I'm not losing my life."
All the words she wanted to say to him were stuck in her throat. Tears streamed down her
face, sending Zack into a panic. He wanted to wipe her tears, only to realize that he was
physically unable to do so. "Janet, don't cry. You're making me feel bad." He had no idea
why she cried, but he was upset at the sight of it.
She wiped the corner of her eyes to stop her tears from falling. "I think you're foolish. Is it
even worth it to risk yourself to save me?"
"Of course it is," he said without hesitation.
He was willing to sacrifice himself for her safety, but she thought he was a fool. How could
he say that it was worth it? She felt that she wasn't worth his sacrifice. At that thought,
she cried even louder.
Zack grew more nervous. "Janet, stop crying! Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I'll
teach them a lesson."
