To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 7


    Chapter 7 I’m Divorced


    Everyone from the neurosurgery department gathered at Fig Garden for dinner. That night, the spotlight


    was on Jenny, who had just joined their department.“Let’s raise our sses to Dr. Walter. I hope she


    can lead the neurosurgery department of Parrington Hospital to sess,” said Dr. Ledger, the director


    of Parrington Hospital’s neurosurgical department.He wasn’t exactly a skilled surgeon, but he secured


    his position with many years of experience. He was initially quite upset that an external doctor secured


    the position of deputy director. However, after giving it some thought, he concluded that having such a


    competent neurosurgeon by his side would boost the department’s performance, improving his


    reputation. With that in mind, he regarded Jenny in a better light.“Dr. Ledger, you tter me too much,”


    Jenny said, raising her ss. “Since I can’t hold my liquor, I’ll drink a toast to you with juice


    instead.”Having said that, she gulped down the juice in the ss.Everyone apuded heartily,


    unconcerned whether Jenny was drinking wine or juice. After all, she had a major operation the next


    day. Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Jenny was no exception.Later, Jenny headed to the washroom.


    Upon her exit, someone called out to her, “Dr. Walter.”Jenny turned around to see Jared Stewart from


    her department.“Dr. Stewart?”“We’re colleagues now, so you don’t have to be so formal with me. Just


    call me Jared,” he said with a giggle. His face was red, probably from drinking.“Okay,” replied Jenny


    with a nod.With that, the conversation ended, and they both fell silent. Jenny cast him a strange nce


    and said, “If there isn’t anything else, let’s head back to dinner. Everyone is waiting.”“I…I want to ask


    you a question,” he quickly responded, clearly very flustered.“What is it?”Jenny raised her eyebrows,


    confident that she knew what he would say.“Well…” he stammered. It took him a long time to ask, “Do


    you have a boyfriend?”He stood there awkwardly, like a child waiting for their teacher to scold them.“Do


    you?” he asked again worriedly.Chuckling, Jenny shook her head and said, “No.”“Really? That’s great


    —”“I’m divorced,” she interrupted.“You’re…divorced?”Jared couldn’t believe it. He almost thought he


    was experiencing auditory hallucinations.Jenny nodded, “Yes, any problem with that?”“N—No,” he


    replied, disappointedly shaking his head. He thought he would have a chance if he tried hard enough


    since she was quite young, even if she already had a Ph.D. However, she was divorced. Upon hisText ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    reevaluation, he decided that the nurse who was trying to court him previously was pretty cute.When


    Jared left, Jenny smiled. She was not surprised. It seemed like her status as a divorcée would save her


    from many troubles.When she was about to leave, Alec exited the men’s bathroom. What a


    coincidence it was that they were meeting again.When their eyes met, Jenny stopped herself from


    asking him if she was stalking her.“You have a unique way of turning people down, Dr. Walter,” he


    commented with a mocking smile.Jenny rolled her eyes, thinking it was all thanks to him. She walked


    away, ignoring him as she passed by him. Since she was not wearing her medical garments, she was


    an average person who had the right to ignore Alec.“Have you been drinking?” asked Alec, frowning.


    He grabbed her wrist, displeasure written all over his face.Jenny shook off his hand in annoyance.“Mr.


    Faust, don’t you think you’re crossing the line? Do I need to tell you if I have been drinking?”She red


    at him, her face flushed with anger.Alec was stunned by the sight of her. Her rosy cheeks and bright


    eyesplemented her fairplexion perfectly. Although her lips were pursed in a cute pout, Alec


    knew that an eloquent tongue was hiding behind them.It was his first time seeing Jenny without a


    mask. Even with her mask on, he could tell that she was beautiful. However, when she removed her


    mask, something within him stirred.“I don’t want to put Faye’s life in the hands of a drunkard,” Alec said


    coldly when he returned to his senses.Jenny took a deep breath, recalling all her moral lessons to stop


    herself fromshing out at him.Swallowing her anger, she forced herself to speak calmly, “You’re


    worrying too much. I didn’t drink, so tomorrow morning’s operation will not be affected.”The smell of


    alcohol that lingered around her was from her colleagues, not from herself, as she never fancied


    alcohol to begin with.Although Alec looked like he doubted her, he didn’t seem as upset as


    before.“Good. After all, a person’s life is in your hands. But I’m sure you are already aware of that.”“Is


    there anything else, Mr. Faust?” she asked, reluctant to be around him even for another second.“Do


    you hate me?” he asked suddenly, noticing that she was visibly displeased and annoyed.His question


    caught Jenny off guard. Had she been too honest with her feelings?She faked a cough as she tried to


    exin herself.“You’re overthinking, Mr. Faust. I barely know you. How could I possibly hate you?”Alec


    agreed with that. Since they had never met before, there was no reason for her to hate him. Hence, he


    decided that he had indeed been overthinking.
