Chapter 881 Whatever You Say
Jenny coughed, obviously awkward.
Alec had indeed often asked her out during the time he was hospitalized, and she had
always refused. She didn't think he'd be talking about it now. Did he have to be so petty?
She said nothing else. They would eat in the cafeteria, then. The food there was honestly
pretty good, at least to her. As for Alec’s tastes, that was none of her business.
"I saw Zeke in the hospital this morning. He was here to see you, wasn't he? " Jenny asked,
curious.
Alec nodded. "You say you don't care about me, but you do, really. Haven't you noticed?"
"What do you mean? Zeke was so noticeable. I would have seen him as long as I wasn't
blind." On top of that, everyone in the hospital was talking about it. Even if she hadn't
seen him, she would have known.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat a pity that Alec couldn't care less about her denial. "He was here to see me. He's
caught two of Xavier's killers and wants me to interrogate them."
"What?" Jenny instantly grew worried. "They won't give you away, will they?"
Alec looked at her, saying nothing.
Jenny felt embarrassed and said, "I was just asking. I don't care for you at all."
"Alright. Whatever you say." Alec didn't mean to argue with her. He already knew the
answer. She just didn't want to admit it.
She pouted. At that moment, their food was served, easing the awkwardness somewhat.
"You haven't replied to my question. Will they give you away?"
"Don't worry. They won't," he said. They had no idea that he was the true mastermind
behind it. They couldn’t give him away.
Of course, things would be difficult if they ratted Evan out. Alec and Evan met up quite
often nowadays. If that happened, he would be even more suspicious.
Since Alec was sure they wouldn't rat him out, Jenny no longer asked the question. She
didn't think that anything could happen.
While they ate, the staff around them sneaked glances at them.
Jenny and Alec were a trending gossip topic. They all knew the couple was once married,
and they wanted to know what they were now.
But, of course, it was all just speculation and secretive gossip. They wouldn't dare to bring
it up in front of them.
One of them was the head of the Walters, and the other had the potential to be the head
of the Fausts. They could not afford to offend either of them.
Not far off, Derrick's gaze wandered toward Jenny. However, just moments later, someone
lightly slapped him. ‘What are you looking at, Derrick?"
"McKenna, I wasn't looking."
"Stop fantasizing. Derrick. You weren't worthy of her before, and you aren't worthy of her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnow." McKenna never held her words back. She thought that his wandering eyes were
despicable.
He already had her, but he was still thinking about Jenny. He hadn't even taken her
seriously at all.
Derrick did not retort. He smiled at her and said, "McKenna, you're overthinking things. I'm
just curious. I swear I don't have any other intentions."
"Really?" McKenna didn't really believe it.
Derrick nodded. "Really. I know my worth. Besides, I already have you. I'm content now.
I'm not interested in other women at all."
He simply didn't dare to. McKenna's jealousy ran deeper than most. She could make him
beg for forgiveness for two hours if his gaze strayed to another nurse for a single second.
Derrick simply didn't dare to have other intentions toward other women.
