Chapter 277 To Me, Your Life Is More Important
Leaning against the headboard, Alec said in defeat, “I just wanted to see that you arrived at the hospital
safely. That’s why I followed you. I never thought that…”
He didn’t immediately notice Marigold’s car. It wasn’t until Marigold was close to crashing into Jenny that
he realized something was off. Without hesitation, he drove into Marigold’s car to stop it from crashing
into Jenny.
“Don’t tell me you’ve always followed me to work?” She stared at him, dumbfounded. He nodded and did
not deny it. Flustered and helpless, she sighed. “You don’t have to do this for me. Frankly speaking, we
don’t have a relationship with each other. If something bad happens to you in a situation like today’s, it

“You can run your little cost-and-benefit analysis because you aren’t into me. But I love you. These
considerations don’t occur to me.” He didn’t have time to think twice in that urgent situation anyway.
She wanted to hide from his scorchingly passionate gaze. “If you know I’m not into you, why would you
waste your time on me? It’s out of character for you, Mr. Faust.”
“I’m confident in myself. One day, you’ll fall for me.” He flashed her a confident smile. She wondered how
he could be this confident. One thing was for sure-she seemed to have felt something for him. Still, she
didn’t express her feeling because she was unsure if it was love.
“Get some rest.” With that, she stood up to leave. She needed some alone time, but he didn’t want her to
leave. “Won’t you stay by my side for a while longer?”
“You need good rest. I’ll only distract you from resting.” She was already standing at the opened door
and staring at the man in the bed. A while later, she blurted out, “Don’t do this again. Nothing’s more
important than your life.” Plus, she didn’t want to owe him anything, even though she had already owed
him enough at this point.
“You,” Alec said, looking straight at her. She was confused by his reply. He explained, “You’re more
important than my life.”
She stood frozen at the door as she listened to the loud thumping of her heart, a sensation she had
never experienced before. “But why? I don’t get it.” She never understood why he fell hard for her, to the
point of giving up his life just to save her. It was puzzling.
He thought it normal and explained, “You’re someone I love and care about. To me, your life is more

“There’s literally nothing in me that’d attract you,” she muttered.
“Well, love isn’t rational. Sometimes, you fall for someone after one look.” That happened to him with
Jenny.
Back in Jenny’s office, she couldn’t focus on work and replayed Alec’s words in her mind. Thankfully, she
had no surgeries scheduled that day and had all the time in the world to space out.
Someone knocked on the door. Moments later, Morgan entered the office. “Dr. Walter, the patient named
Marigold Wagner has woken up. She didn’t say a word after becoming conscious. It’s not looking good.”
“Alright. I’ll check on her.” Jenny stood up and forced herself to put away her thoughts about Alec. When
she left her office, she ran into Stephanie, who was running over in a hurry.
Stephanie gave her a huge hug. “What happened? I heard a huge crash before the call ended. I couldn’t
reach you after that. I was so worried?”
Hugging Jenny tight, Stephanie sounded like she was about to cry.
