To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 188


    Chapter 188 I’m Not a Hothouse Flower


    Jenny blushed at the vige chief’s assumption. She was about to rify her rtionship with Alec, but


    he spoke at the same time, “Let’s get your wound treated. I’ve asked Vincent to bring a rescue team


    here. They should arrive soon.”


    “Okay.” She didn’t object to it because she needed to treat her right calf injury lest it became infected.


    Alec helped her to a temporary tent. He immediately got a pair of scissors and cut off her jeans at the


    calf area to reveal a bloody wound.


    “I’ll do it myself.” She felt a little embarrassed, His presence was touching enough for her, and she


    would not expect more from him.


    Ignoring her, he went to work. He rinsed, disinfected, and bandaged her wound seamlessly. This came


    as a surprise to her. When he was done, he reminded her, “Get a good rest, and don’t move around.”


    “I’m fine, but there must be a lot of injured vigers. I need to quickly treat their wound.” She was the


    only doctor around.


    Alec frowned at her words. She was his priority. Taking care of the others was secondary for him, even


    if he promised to try his best.


    She seemed to read his mind and told him sternly, “I know you’re worried about me, but I’m not a


    hothouse flower. This minor injury won’t affect me much. I can help the injured.”


    He could sense her insistence. A whileter, he sighed in resignation as though he was always the one


    who made thepromise. “I’ll let them in, but you have to stay put. Don’t move around,” he reminded


    her once more.


    She battled withplicated feelings as he left the tent. She hadn’t expected him to be the first to rush


    to her help. Clearwater was hard to reach via any form of transport and didn’t have a connection to the


    outside world. She didn’t even expect Gilbert and the rest toe to her rescue because they probably


    didn’t know about the earthquake. To her surprise, Alec showed up.


    She sighed, clueless about how to deal with him. Thankfully, vigers who came in seeking medical


    help diverted her attention from her jumbled thoughts.


    Jenny managed to treat a lot of victims. However, she didn’t see Alec around even when night fell.


    “Jenny.” Justin walked into the tent. He was an energetic kid who quickly recovered after being rescued


    from the rubble and had been helping others for the rest of the afternoon. Although he couldn’t be of


    much help, he still wanted to contribute in any possible way.


    “Justin,e here. Sit down and rest. You’re still a kid. Don’t work too hard.” Jenny waved at him,


    feeling bad for the boy. She got the news of his parents in the afternoon-they were found dead. The


    family of four was now broken, and Jenny wondered how the two young kids, aged five and three,


    would live their lives after the tragedy.


    He walked up and took a seat beside her. “Jenny, are you waiting for Alec? He’s with the chief. They’re


    saving the victims.”


    She was astonished to learn that since she had assumed Alec was uninterested in the fate of the other


    vigers. Before this, he was reluctant to even let her treat their wounds.


    “Alec is a strong man. I want to be as strong as he is when I grow up,” Justin dered. Jenny caressed


    his head and cheered him on, “Yes, you’ll grow up to be better than him.”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
