Chapter 1059 You Shouldn't Overthink
Alec didn't argue with her because he had arrived at an answer. Perhaps, growing up in
different environments led to a divergent mindset between them. With her carefree
attitude, she could live a good life without him.
But things were different for him. Had he not met Jenny, he'd still be muddling through
life. Therefore, he'd do the best for her and was willing to live for her sake.
"Go to sleep. It's late." She checked the time and realized that morning was near.
He nodded. Even though he wasn't sleepy, he'd be a jerk to mess up Jenny's sleep
schedule, given how she had been looking after her.
Silence enshrouded the room as they said nothing more. Only steady breathing sounds
were heard in the air.
Jenny didn't return to Evan's villa that night, and he lost sleep over that. When morning
arrived, Jenny called to inform him that she would not return for a while. She didn't give a
reason, but she was sure he understood. He said nothing else, only reminding her to take
care of herself.
Somehow, she felt sorry after hanging up. She knew that Evan needed someone to look
after him, and she moved in for that exact reason. Now, she had to set Evan aside
because she needed to take care of Alec, and she felt bad.
Alec read her mind and said, "What Dr. Gaarder said yesterday..."
"I get what you mean. But I trust Evan. He isn't the type to pull off such a joke," she cut
him off.
He felt defeated but shut up after that.
One day, when Jenny was still taking care of Alec in the hospital, Evan was looking
dispirited at home. Howard felt bad for him and suggested, "Boss, do you want me to
bring a few men and get rid of that Faust dude?" The idea had always been brewing in
Howard's mind, but Evan had always asked him to hold back.
"Don't," Evan rejected the idea again. 'Alec Faust is no longer an ordinary citizen. First,
there's the question of our capability to take him down. If we failed, we'd give him
something to use against us."
"But we can't sit and watch!" Howard felt a little angry on behalf of Evan. He had thought
that Jenny would leave Alec after she moved in to take care of Evan. He was aghast to see
the thick-skinned Alec following her all the way, and the two grew even closer than before.
Evan rubbed his forehead as he felt troubled. "Call Jenny and tell her I don't feel well. Say
it's a migraine."
Howard was taken aback, but he immediately understood the task even though it upset
him a little. Since when did his boss have to resort to such a trick to attract the attention
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof the opposite gender? Women would be lining up for Evan, but why did he only have
eyes for Jenny?
"Got it." No matter how Howard felt about the situation, he could only swallow it and take
the orders.
Jenny had just finished her lunch with Alec when she received a call from Howard. She
immediately prepared to leave when she learned that Evan wasn't feeling well. However,
Alec was reluctant to see her leave in haste and grumbled, "He was all fine when I was
healthy. But why does he suddenly feel sick after I'm hospitalized?"
"Alec, I don't want to ever hear that." Alec didn't lay everything out, but she could tell
what he was getting at.
He unhappily pursed his lips. "It's too coincidental."
"That's what his injuries are like. He could fall sick at any moment. It has nothing to do
with timing." Then, she got ready to leave. At the door, she reminded him, "Just focus on
getting well. Don't think too much."
