To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 1285 But He's Not the One for You

Jenny was taken aback by his proposal. Eyes wide in disbelief, she stared at him. "Drive to Bardoff City?"

"Yeah." He nodded, thinking it was not a big deal as long as she was down for it.

A long silence later, she shook her head. Although she was worried about Zack and wanted to be back in Bardoff City, driving late at night was taxing and posed a risk of an accident. She wouldn't put them through it. "Let's sleep. We can book the earliest flight tomorrow morning." She went back to bed, but it was destined to be a sleepless night.

At a general ward in Bardoff Hospital, Janet finally opened her eyes. She was temporarily disoriented when she saw the unfamiliar environment. Soon, she recalled the events before losing consciousness, and tears welled up in her eyes. She stumbled out of the room and realized she was in a hospital. That gave her a sliver of hope. If she was in the hospital, did that mean she and Zack were saved?

She hurriedly stopped a nurse and asked if another patient had been sent to the hospital with her. She finally beamed when she heard that a patient had been sent in at the same time. However, the color drained from her face when she learned the patient was in the emergency room.

She found her way to the emergency room entrance with great difficulty. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably when she saw the lit-up sign.

That was when Gilbert noticed her presence. He didn't like the woman at all, especially after learning that she had a role in the incident. Thankfully, he found Zack right when the man attempted to stab him for the second time.

Gilbert had wanted to leave Janet behind, disregarding her welfare, but he acted against it out of consideration for Zack. However, that didn't mean he would show her kindness.

He turned his gaze to the emergency room, his brow furrowed. Zack suffered from one stab wound, but it was critical. The doctor had discussed it with Gilbert and made him sign the notice of critical condition, but he didn't utter a word to Jenny.

"Gilbert." Janet noticed him standing at the entrance. She hung her head low and went up to him. He glanced at her without a word. She knew that he never took a liking to her. In the past, she would have felt unfairly treated, but she knew she didn't deserve to think so at this moment. Zack wouldn't have been injured if not for her.

"Zack...he'll be okay, right?" she asked with a shaky voice.

He snickered, "Shouldn't you know best?"

"Sorry. I have no idea..."

"Leave your apology for Zack," he cut her off emotionlessly even as he faced her tears.

She bit her lips and shut up. Indeed, she needed to apologize to Zack.

"How did this happen?" Gilbert asked. He didn't have the time to interrogate the men he had arrested.

Her expression fell, but she told him everything without leaving behind any detail. When she was done, she peered at his face. As expected, there was a display of resentment and disgust on it on top of the usual dislike.

"Zack loves you a lot, but he's not the one for you. If you care about him, you shouldn't be with him."

"..."

"Do you know how much trouble you'd cause him with that family of yours? Even if he survives this time, we wouldn't know about the next. Could you promise me that he'll survive each attack?" Gilbert questioned.

Janet was quiet, and there was a ghastly look on her face.
