Chapter 195 Can You Help Us?

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 villagers and thank Mr. Faust.” With that, the village chief gathered

everyone to discuss the reconstruction of the village. Since it was such a big deal for the village,

everyone had to be involved in the discussion.

Jenny didn’t stop him from leaving. After all, the reconstruction of the village was an important matter that

had to be discussed in great detail.

After the village chief left, Jenny was about to visit the patients. Just then, she spotted Justin and Lilian

huddling outside the tent, watching her secretly. Her heart ached with sorrow at the sight of them, but

she made sure it didn’t show on her face. “Come here, you guys.”

“Jenny!” the two kids shouted in unison.

Jenny pulled them into her arms and asked, “Have you had enough to eat? Did you eat the candies they

brought you?”

“Yes.” They nodded.

“Jenny, we didn’t mean to eavesdrop. We just happened to come over to play with you,” Justin said,

sounding very mature.

With a smile, Jenny said, “It’s okay; it’s not a secret anyway. Since you’re also members of this village,

you can give your opinions.”

Justin fell silent. “Jenny, I actually know everything,” he said.

Jenny froze; a thousand emotions bombarded her. It turned out that he already knew everything. It upset

her, and she didn’t know how to comfort them.

“Mom and Dad passed away, and I don’t know how to take care of Lilian. Can you help us?” To the five-

year-old Justin, Jenny was more trustworthy than everyone else in the village, which was why he came

to seek her help.

Looking at him, Jenny asked kindly, “Do your parents have any relatives or friends?”

Usually, children would be entrusted to their relatives or family friends. She couldn’t make decisions

without their permission.

“No, they don’t want to see us.” Justin had looked for them in the past two days, but they avoided him,

afraid he and his sister would pester their family.

Jenny sighed, understanding the situation. After all, everyone in the village was poor. It would cost them

at lot if they had two more mouths to feed. Nonetheless, refusing to even meet the kids was a little too

much.

After a moment of thought, Jenny said, “Don’t worry, I won’t ignore you and your sister. When everything

here is settled, I’ll find a way to help you guys, okay?”

“Okay.” Justin nodded, believing in Jenny’s promise.
