To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 179

Chapter 179 A Rare Moment of Peace

Alec's concerns for Jenny were unfounded. Jenny, who grew up in a village, adjusted immediately to life in Clearwater and even took a liking to it because the village reminded her of her old life in Orchid Village.

"Dr. Walter, this is your accommodation. Let me know if you have any issues with it." The village chief brought Jenny to a hotel-the only one in the village.

She checked out the old but clean hotel and said, "I'm happy with it. Sorry for the trouble."

"No, it's no trouble at all!" The chief shook his head. He heard from the higher-ups that the doctor who volunteered this time was skilled, and because of that, he was attentive to her needs.

After Jenny had placed her luggage in her room, the chief informed her, "We don't have Internet in the village. Come to my house if you want to make calls. I have a landline."

Before arriving at Clearwater, Jenny had learned about the internet situation. She wasn't surprised and replied, "Sure. I'll come to you if I need anything."

As she had explained the internet conditions to people around her before leaving, they would not worry too much if they couldn't contact her. She also believed she didn't need to contact anyone during her stay.

Later, the chief brought her to the clinic in the village, where she'd treat her patients for the next three months.

"We have some basic medical supplies here. If we have a serious case, we will consider sending the patient for further treatment outside the village," the chief explained while Jenny nodded. She realized that the villagers were not stubborn and stuck in the old ways, given that they were willing to receive treatment in the city. The chief added, "Come to my place for your meals. All the doctors before you did the same."

She was okay with it and nodded. "Got it. I will have to trouble you for the next three months."

"It's no trouble at all. We're happy to have you here." The village chief was an elderly farmer who worked in the fields all year round. He had tanned skin and looked just like any average farmer.

"I'll start work in the afternoon. Please inform the villagers needing medical help to drop by any time." Since the village lacked a good transportation system, she worried that the villagers might postpone their visits to the doctor. She was eager to jump right into work, which surprised the chief.

"Don't you need to rest for a few days?" he asked.

The doctors assigned before Jenny all took a few days of rest before officially starting work, and the chief was used to it.

Jenny shook her head. "No. I'm not tired."

"Great. I'll inform the villagers with the horn." The horn was a unique channel of communication in the village. Everyone would be alerted via the sound of the horn.

After the chief left, Jenny started strolling around the village. Clearwater had great views, lush greenery, and fresh air. While walking down the path, she felt as if she was floating in heaven. All the drama surrounding Alec and Yvonne was at the back of her mind as she savored the rare moment of peace. At that moment, Jenny was unaware of the changes in Parrington. She thought Alec and Yvonne would be married by the time she went home. She would be greatly surprised to replace Yvonne married into the Bloom Family. The internet chatter continued for some time, but Jenny was insulated from the news in Clearwater with no internet connection.

The wedding of Yvonne and Sam was hastily commenced. A week after the joint announcement of the marriage, the two families announced the wedding date. The public was puzzled by Yvonne's rush to get married. Only Alec and those in the know understood the rationale behind the decision.
