Chapter 198 A Good Assistant
Jenny woke up on Alec’s hospital bed the next day. A little dazed, she asked, “Why am I sleeping here?”
“What do you think?” Alec’s voice sounded in her ears.
She was so startled that she immediately sat up straight on the bed and turned to look at him. “Why are
you here?” she asked.
“This is my hospital bed,” Alec reminded her.
An unnatural expression flashed across her face as soon as she recalled what had happened last night.
This is all your fault,” she said. If Alec hadn’t hugged her to prevent her from leaving, she wouldn’t have
fallen asleep and slept there through the night.
Alec didn’t bother arguing with her. Instead, he got out of bed and said, “Let’s have breakfast. After that,
we’ll head back to Parrington.”
“That fast?” Jenny was stunned. She got up from bed and said, “I haven’t asked Justin and Lilian what
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey think yet.”
“Well, it wouldn’t be too late if you asked them after breakfast,” Alec replied.
However, Jenny ignored him and marched out of the tent after getting up, quickly disappearing from his
sight. When Jenny left the tent, she spotted Justin, Lilian, and Vincent outside.
“Miss Walter.” Vincent greeted her with a smile. However, his smile was a little different from usual.

Jenny was in a hurry to ask Justin whether they would go to Parrington with her, so she didn’t pay much
attention to Vincent’s strange behavior. After nodding at him, she looked at Justin and said, “I have
something to discuss with you two. Come with me.”
“Okay.” The two kids followed Jenny to her tent without question.
After they left, Vincent waited for a while before entering Alec’s tent. “Mr. Faust, the plane is ready. We
can fly back to Parrington at any time.”
“Okay.” Alec nodded, then instructed, “Bring her breakfast to her.”
“Yes, sir.” Vincent knew who he was referring to without Alec naming the person. Being the gossip he
was, he became curious when he noticed Alec’s in a good mood and figured that he must have made
great progress with Jenny. “Mr. Faust, have you finally gotten through to Miss Walter?” he asked
curiously.
Alec turned to look at him with a small smile. “Aren’t you curious?”
“Well,” Vincent began, forcing himself to laugh, “I just care about you.”
“Oh, you’re really a good assistant.” Alec grinned, pretending he couldn’t see how Vincent was burning
with curiosity.
Vincent smiled in response, but he didn’t dare to ask again. Nonetheless, he figured that there was no
need to ask. After all, given how Alec wasn’t angry, the chances were very high. He left the tent, leaving
Alec alone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlec couldn’t help thinking. Had he finally gotten through to her? Unsure, he shook his head.
Jenny, on the other hand, was telling Justin and Lilian about the pros and cons of going to Parrington.
Although they were still young, they still had the right to know.
After she was done talking, the two kids were silent for a while. Justin was deep in thought, while Lilian
looked rather confused. It seerned that she didn’t quite understand what Jenny meant.
“Jenny, if I go to the Parrington, will there be delicious food? Will it be fun?” Lilian asked curiously. For
her, food and fun were more important.
Jenny gave it some thought and nodded. “Of course.
One of the prerequisites of adopting them was having a stable financial background, so it would be no
problem for Lilian to eat and play.
“Then I’ll go,” Lilian said immediately, nodding and smiling.
Meanwhile, Justin was still silent. Although he was only five years old, he was frowning like an adult.
While Jenny found it amusing, it was a heart-wrenching sight. Why would a five-year-old child need to
consider so many things?
“Justin, have you decided?” Jenny looked at him, waiting for his answer.
