To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1003 No Way!

When Alec returned to the hospital, he found out that Jenny had already completed her discharge procedures; her ward was empty. He went straight to the ward where Evan was located, and as he had expected, Jenny was there. However, besides Jenny and Evan, Gilbert was there too. He had probably come to visit because he had heard about Evan's situation.

Alec didn't go in and sat on a bench outside the door. He didn't know what he could do at the moment, but he couldn't just sit back and do nothing either. It made him feel a bit frustrated.

Inside the ward, Gilbert looked at Evan with a complicated expression and said, "Don't be too disheartened. There must be another solution."

"Yeah," Evan responded with little emotion.

"Regardless of what happens, you saved Jenny. If you really have to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair, we will take responsibility for it," Gilbert said.

Evan frowned and looked at Gilbert before saying, "Okay, I understand." He didn't need Gilbert to take responsibility; having Jenny take care of him was enough.

After a few more words of advice, Gilbert exited the ward and saw Alec at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Gilbert asked coldly. He was never friendly whenever he had to talk to Alec.

Alec looked up at him and smiled. "Waiting for Jenny. What else can I do?"

"Why aren't you dealing with the mess within the Fausts instead? Jenny doesn't need you to wait for her," Gilbert said disdainfully. During this time, he hadn't pressured Jenny to get together with Evan anymore, so he'd kind of implicitly accepted Alec to be Jenny's life partner. But he didn't expect Alec to fail to protect Jenny and nearly cause her to get hurt.

Alec didn't mind Gilbert's cold tone as he simply said, "I know she's busy taking care of Evan and doesn't have time to pay attention to me. There's no need for you to remind me."

"Evan was injured because of her. Shouldn't she take care of him?" Gilbert could see that Alec was greatly dismayed at the situation. However, he felt that Alec didn't have the right to do so since he failed to protect Jenny, so everything that was happening was his own fault.

"Didn't Jenny tell you? Evan asked her not to leave him for the rest of her life. Wouldn't this mean she had to stay and take care of him for the rest of her life?" Alec sneered. He really couldn't understand how Evan could ask that of Jenny.

Upon hearing that, Gilbert's expression instantly became grim. "No way!"

He knew that Evan had a crush on Jenny, but he never expected Evan to ask Jenny to stay and take care of him. Wasn't he taking advantage of the situation by doing that?

Alec had a cold smirk on his face and didn't say anything.

"I'll get to the bottom of this. Jenny is my sister, and I won't let her suffer," Gilbert said coolly. He turned around and walked back into the ward.

Soon, Alec heard the sound of an argument coming from inside. He could hear Jenny and Gilbert arguing. Clearly, she was unhappy about Gilbert questioning Evan for making that request.

Alec just listened and didn't leave or try to go in. He wanted to know if Jenny was willing to stay and take care of Evan or if she was forced to do so.

After a while, Gilbert pulled Jenny out of the ward. Upon noticing Alec at the door, her expression turned grim.

"Did you tell Gilbert about it?" she asked.
