    Chapter 1288 Just Dealing With Some Annoying Stuff


    Although Gilbert fought a lot with Zack, he still viewed Zack and Jenny as some of the most important


    people in his life. He was taken in and raised by Jenny’s grandfather as a young orphan; to him, Jenny


    and Zack were family. Therefore, he would never allow Zack to get in danger for a woman, and he was


    being civil for not pulling tricks to break up the couple.


    “That’s enough, Gilbert. Calm down. I know you care a lot for Zack, but we can’t do anything about his


    rtionship. It’s all up to him. If he’s willing to die for J, our protests won’t do a thing.” After the


    incident, Jenny finally realized that Zack must have fallen hard for J. Why else would he sacrifice


    his life for her? In the beginning, she thought that the couple might break up due to conflicts after some


    time, but it seemed that she was naive.


    “I don’t think he’s that stupid. He’ll know that the woman isn’t for him after this incident. He won’t go


    back to her.” Gilbert sounded confident.


    Jenny didn’t share the same optimism, but she kept her thoughts to herself because there was no point


    arguing. She’d rather leave the discussion for when Zack regained consciousness.


    After that, Jenny was ready to stand guard at the hospital with Gilbert. Alec was against the idea.


    “Gilbert will be here. Let’s go home and rest,” he suggested.


    Ever since Jenny agreed to his marriage proposal, he had been addressing Gilbert more easily and


    cordially regardless of Gilbert’s perception of him. Of course, Gilbert wasn’t too fond of the closeness,


    but he didn’t bother to argue with Alec. “Alec’s right. You should rest. I don’t know when Zack is waking


    up. Go rest. I’ll get someone to inform you when he’s up.”

    “But Zack…”


    “He won’t wake up quicker just because you’re around. It’s useless,” Gilbert retorted.


    Jenny agreed with him. She should rest and be mentally refreshed to face everything after Zack woke


    up. From what Gilbert told her, the men behind the attack were quite something.


    When she left the hospital with Alec, she found J at the entrance, making a call.


    “Why do you treat me this way? Am I not your daughter? How could you sell me off for that useless son


    of yours? Do you know who those men are? Do you know what you’re getting me into?”


    J was wailing and howling. Jenny couldn’t hear the response from her parents, but she assumed


    that parents who had the audacity to inflict such harm on their children would not be moved by tears


    and speech. They wouldn’t have done that to J if they had an ounce of conscience.


    J hung up and turned around, only to see Jenny standing not far away. Her hysterical


    communication with her parents must have been overheard by Jenny, and she felt rather ashamed of it.


    Jenny felt awkward because she didn’t intend to eavesdrop. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”


    “It’s fine. Just dealing with some annoying stuff. I’m used to it.” She smiled bitterly. She should have


    sumbed to her destiny after years of being exploited by her family. Had she not crossed paths with


    Zack and stopped financially supporting her family, her parents wouldn’t have had to put her as


    coteral. At that time, she recalled Gilbert’s words. “Can you be sure this won’t happen again?”


    Sure? How could she be sure? She could not promise anything. The more she dwelled upon her


    thoughts, the further she sank in despair.
