To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 277

Chapter 277 To Me, Your Life Is More Important

Leaning against the headboard, Alec said in defeat, "I just wanted to see that you arrived at the hospital safely. That's why I followed you. I never thought that..."

He didn't immediately notice Marigold's car. It wasn't until Marigold was close to crashing into Jenny that he realized something was off. Without hesitation, he drove into Marigold's car to stop it from crashing into Jenny.

"Don't tell me you've always followed me to work?" She stared at him, dumbfounded. He nodded and did not deny it. Flustered and helpless, she sighed. "You don't have to do this for me. Frankly speaking, we don't have a relationship with each other. If something bad happens to you in a situation like today's, it will not bring you any benefit."

"You can run your little cost-and-benefit analysis because you aren't into me. But I love you. These considerations don't occur to me." He didn't have time to think twice in that urgent situation anyway. She wanted to hide from his scorchingly passionate gaze. "If you know I'm not into you, why would you waste your time on me? It's out of character for you, Mr. Faust."

"I'm confident in myself. One day, you'll fall for me." He flashed her a confident smile. She wondered how he could be this confident. One thing was for sure-she seemed to have felt something for him. Still, she didn't express her feeling because she was unsure if it was love.

"Get some rest." With that, she stood up to leave. She needed some alone time, but he didn't want her to leave. "Won't you stay by my side for a while longer?"

"You need good rest. I'll only distract you from resting." She was already standing at the opened door and staring at the man in the bed. A while later, she blurted out, "Don't do this again. Nothing's more important than your life." Plus, she didn't want to owe him anything, even though she had already owed him enough at this point.

"You," Alec said, looking straight at her. She was confused by his reply. He explained, "You're more important than my life."

She stood frozen at the door as she listened to the loud thumping of her heart, a sensation she had never experienced before. "But why? I don't get it." She never understood why he fell hard for her, to the point of giving up his life just to save her. It was puzzling.

He thought it normal and explained, "You're someone I love and care about. To me, your life is more important.”

"There's literally nothing in me that'd attract you," she muttered.

"Well, love isn't rational. Sometimes, you fall for someone after one look." That happened to him with Jenny.

Back in Jenny's office, she couldn't focus on work and replayed Alec's words in her mind. Thankfully, she had no surgeries scheduled that day and had all the time in the world to space out.

Someone knocked on the door. Moments later, Morgan entered the office. "Dr. Walter, the patient named Marigold Wagner has woken up. She didn't say a word after becoming conscious. It's not looking good." "Alright. I'll check on her." Jenny stood up and forced herself to put away her thoughts about Alec. When she left her office, she ran into Stephanie, who was running over in a hurry.

Stephanie gave her a huge hug. "What happened? I heard a huge crash before the call ended. I couldn't reach you after that. I was so worried?"

Hugging Jenny tight, Stephanie sounded like she was about to cry.
