Chapter 775 You're Overthinking It
"I understood every word you said, but I cant possibly live my life with memory loss. Plus,
you know the long-term effects if I do not opt for surgery." Alec examined Blake carefully
as though he suspected an ulterior motive.
Blake understood the necessity of the surgery, but she simply hoped that the surgery
could be delayed for a few months. She knew better than to say her thoughts aloud, so
she muttered, "I know. I'm just worried for you."
"Don't worry. My luck isn't that bad." He wouldn't go down before he could take over the
Faust family.
Blake didn't say a word because she knew that any objection would only irk him. Instead,

On that afternoon, Jenny was surprised to find Blake at her office. "Miss Watkins, are you
here to talk to me?"
"Yes," Blake replied. Frowning, Jenny wanted to remind her that it was business hours, but
Blake said, "I'm the final patient on your list today. You don't have to worry about the next
patient." Then, she handed Jenny her queue number as proof.
Jenny glanced at it and found out that Blake had gone through the routine and lined up for
a medical consultation. She asked, "Are you feeling sick anywhere?"
"No. I'm here today to get answers to the case of my boyfriend, Alec Faust, " Blake went
straight to the point.
Jenny felt bothered by Blake's deliberate use of "boyfriend" to describe Alec, but she hid
her feelings well and answered, "I have briefed him on the surgery details. I believe he's
clear about it."
"Yeah, he is clear about the surgery, but I'm worried,' Blake replied, leaving Jenny
flabbergasted and speechless. She added, "Dr. Walter, are you confident about the
surgery?"
Frowning, Jenny explained, ’Any surgery comes with risk. No doctor can promise a 100%
success rate."
"Well, that's true. But Alec is important to me-he's my lover, and I hope to see him safe
and sound." Blake's impassionate confession evoked complex feelings in Jenny, who

and you probably think he'd still be in love with you had he not lost his memories. Is that
why you're adamant about helping him restore his memories?"
Jenny finally showed hints of displeasure. "Miss Watkins, you're overthinking it."
"Is that so?" Blake sounded unconvinced. "The only way I'll admit I'm overthinking is that
you refuse to perform the surgery."
Jenny burst out in laughter at the absurdness of the situation. "Miss Watkins, Alec Faust is
the patient. If you are against the surgery, please change his mind instead of lecturing
me. He's the one who wanted the surgery. As his doctor, I can't sit back and watch his
condition deteriorate."
"That's not what I meant. I know the surgery is necessary. I just don't want you to be the
doctor in charge of his surgery," Blake announced, much to Jenny's dismay. She added,
"After all, you had had a complicated relationship with him. I'm concerned that you might
let your personal feelings interfere with the surgery, leading to a regrettable outcome."
