To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 788 Are All Your Memories Back?

Sunlight poured into the hospital room. Alec opened his eyes and was greeted with the sight of the white ceiling above his head. Briefly dazed, he furrowed his brows in pain when a rush of painful memories flooded in. That was perhaps the reason his heart rate increased, causing the machine at the headboard to beep incessantly.

A nurse immediately rushed in to check on him. Call the doctor," she told another nurse. She checked Alec's vitals while the other went to get the doctor.

When the doctor arrived, Alec was finally feeling like himself. He could recall all the memories from his past, but that overwhelmed him a little. Once the doctor was done with the check-up, he called out to Alec "Mr. Faust?"

Although there didn't seem to be any issues with Alec's physical health, the doctor noticed that Alec's mental state seemed off. "Could something else be wrong with him?" the doctor wondered. "Yeah, I'm fine," Alec answered, voice hoarse. He hadn't taken any solids or liquids after the surgery.

Since Alec could speak and articulate, the doctor believed he was doing fine. "Transfer him to an ordinary ward and tell the family to bring him food. But remind them not to overfeed him." The doctor gave out orders and was ready to leave.

"Where's Dr. Walter?" Alec asked, stopping the doctor in his tracks.

Jenny was the first person that Alec wanted to meet after waking up, but he dreaded the meeting too.

"It's her day off today. She's not at the hospital," the doctor replied and left the room.

Soon, Alec was transferred to an ordinary ward. Paul, who received the news, visited him with some soup.

"Have some soup." Paul helped him to sit on the bed and fed him. Alec was unresponsive and rigidly took the soup when fed to him. His response was rather worrying. A few spoonsful later, Paul paused and said, "The doctor said not to feed you too much. I'll stop at a few spoons."

"Okay," Alec answered, but he still appeared dazed, perhaps from the influx of memories.

Paul was at a loss. "Are all your memories back?"

"Yeah," Alec grunted and looked at his friend after a pause. "Thank you for all you've done for me." Although he regained his lost memories, he hadn't forgotten the time when he was suffering from memory loss. He had nothing but gratitude for his friend.

"Oh well, we're friends." Paul grinned. He didn't regard what he had done as particularly praiseworthy and believed that Alec would have done the same for him. Although they clashed a few times because of Jenny, those arguments would not affect their friendship. Alec fell into silence again, and Paul was worried for him. "So, now that your memories are back, are you clear about your feelings for Jenny?" Alec remained quiet as he struggled to explain his feelings to Paul.

"It's alright. You shouldn't be thinking too hard because you've just woken up. Have a good rest and save the mental exercise for later." Paul decided to put a stop to the grilling.

After reminding Alec to rest well, he was about to leave when Alec blurted out, "How about Jenny? Is she...really not at the hospital?"

He had anticipated Jenny looking after him at the hospital. At the very least, he expected her to wait until he woke up. Therefore, he didn't believe the doctor who said Jenny was not around. Paul seemed to read Alec's mind and added helpfully, "She stayed by your side and went home at midnight."

That information was enough to light up Alec's expression.

Paul shook his head and sighed, thinking, "Does he still not realize his feelings for her? It is obvious enough."
