To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 997 Spend the Rest of His Life in a Wheelchair

When the car drove into the hospital, a large group of experts was already waiting, and they hurriedly pushed Evan into the emergency room.

Alec came to Jenny's side and supported her. He was about to comfort her by saying that Evan would be fine when he noticed how hot Jenny's body was. "You still have a fever?"

That morning, he thought Jenny was fine because she looked alright. She'd taken some fever medicine and slept through the night, so she should have already recovered. Who would have thought that she was still sick?

"I-I'm fine. I need to know whether Evan is alright." Jenny insisted on waiting right outside the emergency room.

Alec wouldn't let her do as she pleased and lifted her up right away. "Be good, and don't move around. I'll monitor Evan's condition. In the meantime, we need to get you to a doctor."

Jenny couldn't object, so she could only lay in Alec's arms as he took her to see a doctor. Perhaps because Alec's scent relaxed Jenny's frayed nerves, or maybe she'd really reached her limit, as soon as Alec stepped into the hospital, she completely lost consciousness.

Alec was practically running with Jenny in his arms to the doctor's office. After taking her temperature, they found out that she'd already reached a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. If she continued to burn up like this, her brain might become damaged as a result.

When Jenny woke up again, it was already dark outside. She looked at the ceiling for a moment in a daze, seemingly not yet realizing what had happened.

Suddenly, she sat up on the bed with a jolt.

The IV needle in her hand almost got pulled off, and Alec, who was lying somewhere beside her, was also awakened by her movements.

"Jenny, you're awake? I'll have someone bring you some food," Alec said as he walked over to her. He reached out to touch her forehead. After he was sure she was no longer running a fever, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jenny grabbed Alec and asked, "How's Evan?"

She still didn't know where the bullet had hit Evan, but she knew it must have been very serious because he had bled a lot at the time.

"Relax, he's not dead. He suffered a spinal injury and needs to stay in the hospital for a few days," Alec answered.

Jenny wasn't stupid. Although Alec's words were vague, she could still tell that Evan's injury was serious. The spinal cord was the most important part of the human body, and if it was injured, the consequences

were severe.

She looked up at Alec with tears in her eyes. "Is he in a vegetative state now?"

A spinal injury would very likely lead to a vegetative state.

"No, he isn't. His injury isn't that serious." Alec shook his head, but he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"Then tell me, what's the situation?" Jenny was very anxious. Alec had been refusing to tell her Evan's actual condition, so she was naturally frustrated.

Alec sighed, knowing he couldn't keep it from her any longer. "The doctor said he may have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."

"A wheelchair..." The word echoed in Jenny's mind as it went blank.

"How could this happen..." The situation was worse than she'd imagined. Evan was so young, and he had a long life ahead of him. If he had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, what would become of him?

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and Alec gently wiped them away. "I have already contacted the most famous doctors internationally. They'll replace a way to cure him."

"Okay, thank you." Jenny thanked him, but her tears still flowed freely. "I want to go see him," she said, looking up at Alec and hoping he would take her there.
