Chapter 1062 Call Me a Busybody
Alec thought he could hide the truth from Jenny if he didn't use his study at home. Little
did he know that Jenny could see the light from his bedroom even though she didn't have
a direct view from her bedroom.
Without hesitation, she called him.
"Jenny, what's wrong?" He jumped a little when he saw the incoming call but calmed down
before picking up.
"Alec, where are you now?" she seethed. He silently gulped, thinking, "Is she back at the
hospital?" That was unlikely to happen because Evan wouldn't let her leave after getting
her to return.
With that in mind, he tried his best to keep himself together. "Why? Are you in the
hospital?"
"No. I'm home," she replied.

hospital. Why? Do you want to keep me company?" He told a bare-faced lie without fear
since they were talking over the phone.
She smirked. "Really? Did you not sneak out of the hospital?"
"Of course I didn't. Since I'd promise you to take care of my health, I will never do
anything irresponsible," Alec bluffed confidently. Jenny would have fallen for the lie if she
hadn't seen the light from his bedroom.
She clutched her phone as she tethered on the brink of rage. "Alec, do you take me as a
fool? Who turned on the lights in your bedroom if you're not home?"
He fell silent, wondering if it'd work if he rushed to turn off the lights. It was clearly too
late to do so.
She chastised him, "Alec! You're such a hypocrite. Why are you kicking up all these
troubles?" She huffed as she choked on anger.
He didn't need to see her face to picture her being angry. "Jenny, I didn't like staying at
the hospital because you weren't with me."
"Huh." She did not believe in a word he uttered. "Are you telling me you had never been to
the hospital before meeting me?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Alec Faust!" she bellowed.
"That was true, though. I had a family doctor at home." Since he never caught any serious
illness, he never needed to go to the hospital, and a family doctor would suffice.
She finally understood his words and said sarcastically, "Oh, shall I hire a family doctor for
you?"
"No, that's fine. I'll only need you to check on me." He believed that he'd recover in no
time with Jenny around.
Dumbfounded by his answers, she said sternly, "Alec, I'm not joking with you. If you can't
be bothered about your health, I can't help you either.’

"Jenny..."
"Call me a busybody. Whatever." She knew that no amount of persuasion would make him
go to the hospital.
He started panicking when he sensed that she was truly angry at him." Sorry, Jenny. I
didn't mean to lie to you."
"Whatever." She refused to talk.
"I'll get myself to the hospital." He did not like the idea but feared Jenny's wrath even
more.
Almost instantly, she saw the lights turned off in his bedroom, as though he had decided
to leave for the hospital. She was momentarily taken aback and asked, "Are you feeling
sick anywhere?"
"No. I'm feeling great," he answered.
She pressed on, "Did you get the prescribed meds?'
"Yes," he answered.
After a slight pause, she relented, "That's fine. You can rest at home for a few days, but
you need to stick to a routine and take your meals. Got it?"
