To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) - Season 1 Episode 34

“Tell me.” Alec’s interest was piqued. Someone was actually giving him a suggestion. This was new to him.

“I don’t think you’re just afraid of the dark. There might be a few underlying issues. You should see a therapist,” she said.

It wasn’t a big problem, but neither was it insignificant. With someone as stressed as Alec, having something bottled up in his heart would make it worse.

She had spoken with good intentions, but her words made his expression darken instantly. He emanated an aura that could make anyone shiver. She said exasperatedly, “It’s just a condition, Mr. Faust. You don’t have to be so defensive.”

“That’s enough!” Alec roared. He stared at Jenny like she was his enemy. “You don’t have to worry about my problems.” He turned and slammed his door shut.

“This guy…” Jenny was speechless and infuriated.

Back at home, Jenny made herself some instant noodles. She was still fuming. Her good intentions had been thrown in her face. As she grumbled to herself, the doorbell rang. She hesitated but opened it anyway.

“Vincent?” She was even more surprised. “Have you knocked on the wrong door?”

Since she and Alec lived next to each other, it was possible that Vincent had simply knocked on the wrong door.

However, Vincent shook his head and handed over the items in his hand. “Dr. Walter, this is the food that Mr. Faust made me buy for you. Please eat it while it’s hot.”

Jenny widened her eyes. She stammered, “Mr… Mr. Faust made you buy this?”

“Yes.” Vincent nodded.

Jenny accepted it in a daze. Alec had probably seen her with the instant noodles, which was why he made Vincent buy this.

But since when had that man become so kind?

“I’m going to leave now, Dr. Walter. Goodbye.” Vincent was not going to linger around.

“Vincent,” Jenny called out to him. She hesitated before saying, “You know about his fear of the dark, don’t you?”

“Yes.” Vincent’s face grew solemn. “I hope you do not tell anyone of this, or he will be put in danger.” Someone in Alec’s position couldn’t have any weaknesses, but he did, and it was a severe one. Once people with evil intentions knew of it, they would use it to their advantage.

Jenny understood this and nodded. “It can be treated. You should take him to a therapist.”

Vincent smiled bitterly. “Do you think he would agree?”

Well…

Jenny thought of Alec’s attitude from before and shook her head. It would be weird if he did.

“That’s why we can only keep this to ourselves and protect him,” Vincent said.

Jenny frowned. “But if his condition worsens, even going out at night would be hard for him.” She didn’t

want to speak ill of him, but that was how psychological traumas worked. If they weren’t treated, they would grow worse.

Vincent frowned at this. He was full of worry. “Thank you for your reminder, Dr. Walter. I will do my best to persuade him.”

Jenny said nothing more. She had done her part. As for whether or not Alec went for treatment, it was out

of her hands.

Vincent left, and Jenny returned to the living room. She looked at the steaming food before her and felt like she was in a dream. She never thought the day would come when she ate something Alec had bought. It was impossible to believe.
