To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 45

Chapter 45 You Like Her

Pain and regret mingled together. She was considering going downstairs to buy some medicine when she heard footsteps at the front door.

She looked over and saw Alec. “You didn’t leave?” she exclaimed.

“I only have painkillers. I don’t have anything to help with your stomach. You can take this for now.” He handed the pills to her and gently gave her a glass of hot water.

Jenny didn’t care about being polite and gulped them down.

Ten minutes later, she felt much better. She sat up and thanked Alec.

He glanced at her, his irises dark. After a while, he said. “Do you have a death wish, skipping meals when you have stomach issues?”

She sipped the hot water, feeling better. “You know what happened today. Where would I find the time to eat?”

She didn’t want to perform surgery on an empty stomach either, but one procedure would take six to seven hours. She couldn’t stop in the middle of surgery to eat. That would be terrifying.

Alec didn’t reply. “Are you better now?”

“Much better.” Jenny nodded. “You should go and rest. It’s late.”

“How heartless, chasing me out right after I helped you.” Alec stared at her, thinking that she was a woman who would trample on his ego.

Jenny was a little exasperated. “I don’t mean it that way. I just think that it’s late, and I shouldn’t be taking up your time.”

“You’ve already taken up so much. This is nothing,” he replied.

Jenny was speechless. Alright, whatever he said. She couldn’t be bothered to argue.

In the silence, someone knocked on the door. Jenny was about to get it, but Alec answered it before she could.

A delivery man stood at the door. “Your food.”

Alec accepted it with a murmur. He glanced at it and saw Max’s name. Displeasure welled up in his heart, but he did not express it.

He went into the living room with the food and looked at Jenny. “Did Max send you food?”

“I think he did.” Jenny nodded. She remembered him mentioning that he had.

She took it and prepared to eat it. She was ravenous. If she didn’t eat soon, her stomach would start acting up again.

Alec swallowed his anger when she saw that she was going to eat it. He stopped her. “Don’t eat spicy food if your stomach hurts.”

Seeing her food getting taken away, Jenny was stunned. “I’m happy to have something to eat at all, I’m not picky.”

“Do you like him?” Alec asked.

Jenny was stunned again. She shook her head. “I’ve only seen him twice or thrice. There are no feelings involved this early on.”

Alec felt slightly better hearing her answer. “I wasn’t joking when I told you to stay away from him,” he said, tone serious. “There’s unfinished business between him and me. He doesn’t have good intentions getting close to you.”

“What does your business have to do with me? Why would he want to grow closer to me?” Jenny asked honestly. She couldn’t figure out the correlation at all.

Well…

Alec was stunned. That was right. What did that have to do with her?

But Max didn’t share these thoughts. He had feelings for Jenny, which was why he wanted to get closer to her. However, there was no way that Alec could tell her this.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
