To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) - Season 1 Episode 43

“Karen White, you are forty-five years old and unemployed. That boy who went through surgery just now is not your son. He’s your stepson. You’ve never liked him and repeatedly stated that you wish for him to be dead. You seem pretty involved with his car accident preceding this. When the crash didn’t kill him, you wanted the doctor to perform surgery on him so he would die on the operating table. This way, you could make this hated stepson disappear and claim tons of money from the hospital. Am I wrong, Karen?”

Once he said all this, everyone looked flabbergasted.

Could such a horrible person exist?

Even if he wasn’t her biological son, she shouldn’t have wished for his death.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Karen went pale. She gnashed her teeth and said, “You’re making this all up! You just want to help Dr. Walter get away with this!”

“The police will investigate whether I am speaking the truth. But I should remind you that your actions in the emergency room this afternoon are all recorded in the surveillance cameras. Do you really think that a few sentences of yours will flip the narrative?”

Not far off, a few police officers began walking toward Karen White. “We’ve received the report. You are now being investigated for attempted murder. Please follow us.”

With a thud, Karen fell onto the ground. Her lips were deathly white.

Quickly, she was hauled away by the police officers. The reporters were in a daze. The tables had turned in mere seconds.

Max wasn’t letting this go just yet. He glared at them coldly. “I hope to see the truth in the news after this. You know what I mean, don’t you?”

“Y… yes, we do.” The reporters nodded. They all heard the threat in Max’s words. They didn’t dare to share their opinions now. It seemed that Dr. Walter was framed, and fear enveloped them. That woman had nearly weaponized them!

The reporters left. The people surrounding them left, too.

Jenny looked at Max. “Thank you. I’ll remember what you did.”

“You’re welcome. Just think of it as a gift from me to you,” Max said with a smile.

The exhausted Jenny said nothing more. She just wanted to go home and sleep.

Max saw how exhausted she was. “Looks like we can’t make it for dinner tonight. I’ll drive you home. You should rest early.”

“Okay.” Jenny didn’t refuse him. He’d just helped her, so it wouldn’t look good if she declined him.

As she prepared to leave with Max, she realized something and turned back to look at Alec. “Thank you, Mr. Faust. It’s late. Be careful on the way home.”

She didn’t know why Alec was still there. No matter what, he had also been there for her. She had to thank

him.

“There’s no need. You helped me yesterday, so we’re even now,” he said in a deep voice.

Jenny was stunned. So that was the reason he was here. He wanted to repay her for what had happened yesterday

“Alright.” She nodded. It was nice to be even.

She followed Max out of the hospital. Alec stood in his spot as he watched them leave, a sullen expression on his face. No one dared to go near him.

“Mr. Faust!”

Vincent ran over, panting. “I’ve found the details on that woman. I’m telling you, you’re never going to guess how evil she is.”

“There’s no need,” Alec interrupted. His gaze was cold. “You’re too late.”

Max had long settled the matter, but his assistant had only arrived now. What was the point?

“I’m sorry, Mr. Faust. Someone was following me from behind, so I got delayed.” He lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.

“Following you?” Alec frowned, the cogs turning in his head.

Max would do anything to show off in front of Jenny.

Alec was feeling tired. He rubbed his temples. “Whatever. Just go home.”

“What about these details?”

“Send them to the police station.”
