Chapter 196 Reconstruction

At night, the village chief headed to Alec’s tent. Jenny figured that the villager’s discussion had come to

fruition. She was a little curious whether the villagers would choose to leave or stay.

The village chief and Alec chatted for two hours before he finally came out of the tent. Seeing the wide

smile on the village chief’s face, Jenny knew he was delighted with the outcome. After some hesitation,

she entered Alec’s tent.

“I knew you would come,” Alec said, grinning when she walked in. He appeared to have expected her

arrival.

Instead of beating around the bush, Jenny asked directly, “What did they choose?”

“They chose to stay here during the reconstruction,” Alec replied. “The village chief said that the villagers

have lived here for generations, so they don’t want to leave.”

Jenny was not surprised by the result. “Well, it’s their hometown, after all. It’d be difficult for them to leave

it behind just like that.”

“Vincent will monitor the construction here, so don’t worry about it. Come back to Parrington with me.” He

was worried about Jenny remaining in the village.

After a moment of silence, Jenny agreed. Due to the earthquake, the free clinic program would have to

end early. She would have to wait until the reconstruction was finished before she could return to the

village.

“I want to bring two kids home,” she informed Alec.

“You mean the kids who lost their parents?” Alec knew about the children, and he pitied them. However,

he was a little concerned that Jenny wanted to bring them back.

Jenny nodded. “No one here is willing to raise them, so they wouldn’t survive here.”

“Do you have any plans for them after you bring them to Parrington? Are you going to adopt them?” Alec

knew that Jenny was kind, but he also had to remind her of the consequences of her actions.

She was talking about bringing back two humans, not two pets. If she brought them back, she would be

responsible for them for the rest of their lives.

Jenny was also doubtful about the situation. Although she was once married, it wasn’t a normal

marriage. Hence, she had no experience raising children and had no idea what to do with the prospect of

suddenly having two of them.

Alec sighed and shook his head, a little frustrated. “I know you’re kind, but you should’ve thought of

yourself.”

“I can’t just leave them here, can I?” Jenny asked angrily.

She was well aware that it would be a lot of trouble to bring them to Parrington. In fact, she might not

even be able to adopt them.

Alec paused to think for a moment and said, “Well, it’s possible to bring them back. Why don’t you look

for someone to adopt them?”

“I… Jenny hesitated.

“I know what you’re worried about, but you can’t adopt them. You won’t pass the adoption screening

process,” Alec reminded her. Before Jenny could answer, he continued, “I’ll find reliable parents for them.

There are many childless couples in Parrington, so I should be able to find good ones.”

“Is it really possible?” Jenny was uncertain and worried.

“You still don’t trust me?”

It seemed that Jenny still didn’t trust him much, and Alec felt there was nothing he could do to change.

that.

A little embarrassed, Jenny put on a wry smile and said, “Okay, I’ll ask them if they’re willing to be

adopted by other people before I take them back.”

“Yes, don’t forget to tell the village chief. After all, they are residents of this village,” Alec reminded her.

Jenny nodded at him. She was about to turn around and leave when Alec stopped her.

“We’ve spoken for so long, but it’s all about other people. What about me?”

“You?” Jenny glanced at him. “Well, I think you seem to be in good spirits, so there’s nothing about you

we need to talk about.”

“Who said that? I have a headache.” Alec’s face contorted in pain as he held his head.
