To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 193

Chapter 193 I Will Watch Over Him

The professional rescue team moved fast to remove the rocks and rubbles, revealing a semblance of the original look of the school.

"He's here!" someone shrieked, and everyone flocked over to the location, including Jenny. She soon realized that she couldn't be of help and could only wait silently on the side, watching as people brought Alec out from the rubble.

"Miss Walter!" Vincent shouted in great panic when he saw Alec unconscious.

Jenny hurriedly went over and instructed, "Move him somewhere spacious."

Alec had been moved to the side. To everyone's surprise, a few kids were discovered along with him, and they were all safe.

"A man protected us," the kids claimed. Everyone felt conflicted after learning about Alec's heroic actions.

Jenny was surprised by his action because she had always thought he wasn't the type to sacrifice himself for others. The situation clearly proved her wrong, and she was lost. "Have I misunderstood him all along?

she wondered.

Despite having many thoughts about Alec, she started performing first aid on him. After some checks, she sighed in relief. Although he suffered extensive physical injuries, his life was not in danger. He was temporarily unconscious but doing fine otherwise.

Hearing that, everyone collectively sighed in relief. Vincent was on the verge of tears. He couldn't imagine the consequences if something horrible happened to Alec at Clearwater.

The unconscious Alec was placed in the tent as he recovered. After Jenny tended to the kids' wounds, she sat beside his bed to look after him. She couldn't explain the reason behind her decision, but she was adamant about keeping watch until he woke up.

Other rescue teams arrived at the scene, and all the villagers were finally accounted for. Sadly, many had been found dead or injured, and most houses had collapsed. The remaining villagers fretted about thei livelihood down the road. 1

Two days later, Alec finally regained consciousness.

"Miss Walter, why is he still unconscious? I thought you said he'd be fine." Vincent was talking to Jenny outside the tent with worry. Someone had leaked the news of Alec's presence at Clearwater Village, down to the detail that he got buried underneath the rubble. Rumors started circulating that Alec Faust was dead.

As a result, the valuation of Faust Group plunged over the two days and breached the drop limit twice. The shareholders were busy calling the management to get hold of the situation, but Vincent was unable to offer an answer. He hadn't updated anyone about Alec's situation except Old Mr. Faust. It would be fine in the short term, but he would expect the scheming parties to make a move on Faust Group if this murky situation were to last longer.

Jenny was confident about her skills and assured him, "Don't worry. He'll be fine."

"How about I watch over him? You've been with him for two days now. Don't overexert yourself." Vincent was worried that Alec would scold him if he learned about this later.

Still, Jenny shook her head and insisted, "It's okay. I'll watch over him." She wouldn't be relieved until she witnessed him waking up.

After the conversation, she went into the tent for another checkup on Alec. To her pleasant surprise, she found Alec sitting on the bed and leaning against the headboard. He was staring at her. "Are you awake?" Astonished, she walked toward his bed.

He stared at her in silence for a while. Then, he said, "I heard your words when I was buried in the rubble.
