To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1281-Where Are You Bringing Me?

The man ignored Janet's response and extended his hand. "Did you say you wanted to pay me back? Pay me now."

"I don't have much with me, but I can pay you part of the amount. Give me a few more days, and I'll gather all the money." Janet had some savings over the past few years, but it was nothing much because she had given most of her savings to her parents. It was impossible for her to cough up one million dollars right away. There was no way she would leave with the men; the only option left was to buy time.

The men were no pushovers. When she said she didn't have the money, they grabbed her without hesitation. "Since you can't pay us back, you have to leave with us."

"Where are you bringing me?" She fought back with an uneasy feeling at the pit of her stomach.

"You'll know when we reach there. I guarantee you'll be happy." The man chuckled evilly, sending a shiver down her spine. She knew that she'd be screwed if she followed them.

Unfortunately, the men were too aggressive, and she didn't stand a chance against them. In the face of the well-built men, Janet, a weak female, could not fight back. She watched helplessly as they dragged her out of the villa. Feeling defeated, she blurted out, "My boyfriend is rich! I can get him to pay you when he's home."

She had wanted to keep her family drama from Zack due to shame. Her history was embarrassing and lowly enough, and she worried that revealing her family's situation would only humiliate her. However, she had no other choice but to borrow money from Zack and work hard to pay him back.

She thought the men would accept her suggestion, but they refused to let go of her. ’Heh heh, we think it's better to bring you with us.” They wanted more than one million dollars. They were willing to offer the loan to her parents only because they knew the parents would put their daughter as collateral. Their goal, from the very start, was Janet Hale.

A beauty like Janet would be worth more than one million dollars when sold.

Janet was brought away and got knocked out inside the car. The car swiftly left, speeding toward a venue that no one knew.

Zack arrived home close to 11 pm. Standing at the door, he was puzzled to find it unlocked. "How careless can Janet be? She didn't even lock the door. What if a thief or a robber showed up?" he mumbled and entered the villa, heading to her bedroom. However, he frowned when he found no trace of her in the room.

He called out for her but was met with no response. He left the room and quickly checked the entire villa but didn't see her anywhere. Feeling concerned, he called her but heard her phone ring inside the bedroom. He went upstairs once more and found her phone under a pillow. His eyebrows twitched.

A short silence later, Zack marched to the surveillance room. There was no surveillance camera in the villa, only some at the villa's outer compounds. He needed to confirm if Janet had left by her own will or if something had happened to her.

Soon, he spotted a group of men at the villa door in the footage. His expression turned grim when he saw them dragging Janet away. He took photos of their faces, which he sent to Gilbert. Next, he gave Gilbert a call." Gilbert, track down these men for me."

"Why? What happened?" Gilbert sounded confused and worried. It was late at night, and Zack sounded anxious over the phone.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1282-r! novelxo Zack was dead worried and had no time to explain. "Help me look for them. I'll fill you in later." He hung up without giving Gilbert a chance to ask.

Gilbert sighed but didn't waste a minute distributing the photos. novelxo He instructed his men to start searching. As a tech expert, Zack still had to call Gilbert for help because he was worried that the men would dodge the surveillance cameras in their escape. However, he soon found out that his worries were unfounded. The men were reckless, and their vehicle did not attempt to shun the routes with surveillance cameras. It made Zack's work easier.

When he saw where the men parked their vehicle, novel.xo he jumped in anger and left the villa in his car.

Meanwhile, Gilbert was busy helping with the search, but he didn't have the manpower in Bardoff City, nor was he the best at tracking down suspects.

Therefore, he called Jenny, thinking the search would be sped up with the Walter family's assistance.

Jenny was perplexed to receive Gilbert's call in the dead of night, but she didn't ask questions. Zack never joked around. Something must have happened for him to ask for help in locating the men.

Little did they know that Zack had found the suspects,novëxo and he barged into an establishment. It was a popular high-end club in Bardoff City that supplied everything one could ever want, including women.

When he stepped foot in the club, the staff immediately approached him." Sir, do you have an appointment?"

Zack gave him a cold look. 'Where are these men?"

"Sir, you can't enter without an appointment!" The staff member blocked his way to stop him from entering but was kicked aside.nvëlx.o Zack rushed into the club because he had no time to lose.

He arrived at the main hall, which was quite deserted because it was late at night. He instantly heard the screams from within.

It was Janet!

Without thinking, Zack charged at the room and kicked the door open. He saw two men forcing Janet to kneel on the floor. She had a few slap marks on her face. It was obviously recent.

His presence caught everyone by surprise. They looked at him at the same time. "Who's this guy? Who let him in?"

"Let go of her!" Zack shouted as he went to grab Janet. Before he could reach her, he was kicked aside by a man.

"Wow, looks like you're her lover. How loyal of you! n.ovëx.o You came at the right time-1 was about to fuck her. It'll be more fun if you witness it." Then, he ordered his men to hold Zack before he walked up to Janet. He grabbed her chin with a look of admiration. "You're quite the looker. I don't regret the money I spent on buying you. Do your best, and you will be the club's top escort down the road!"

"Let go of her! I'll pay you any amount you want!' Zack struggled to break free but failed.

Janet had tears in her eyes when she looked at him. "You are a fool! You shouldn't have come."

"Janet!" He choked on his tears. "I won't let anything bad happen to you."

"That's enough. Are you playing Romeo and Juliet?" n.ove.lx.o The man smirked as he grabbed Janet and threw her onto the couch. "Let's see if you are still lovebirds after I'm done with her." "No! Let go of me!" n.ove.lx.o Janet struggled with all her might-she did not want to be sullied, especially in front of Zack.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1283-Bow to You? Dream On!

There was no way Zack would allow anything bad to happen to Janet. He broke free of the two men holding him back and rushed toward her. Then, he shoved the man who tried to sexually assault her. "Janet, don't be scared!" He quickly pulled her into his arms and backed away.

The man was infuriated. He drew a dagger and pointed it at Zack. "You’re courting death, aren't you? But you're at the wrong place. No one would bat an eye even if I killed you here!"

Zack stared at him fearlessly. "Isn't money all you want? I'll pay you. Let us go.’ "I wanted money at first, but I have changed my mind. I want the woman now!' The man was incandescent because no one had the audacity to challenge him like Zack.

Janet clutched onto Zack tightly in fear. "Zack, you should go. Don't mind me."

"Nonsense!" He turned around to look at her. How could he possibly leave her behind?

"Leave that woman behind and bow to me for forgiveness, and I might forgive you," the man demanded as he walked toward Zack.

Zack regretted not learning martial arts more enthusiastically when he was taking lessons with Jenny. If he did, he would have been strong enough to fight back. "I'd advise you to think before you act. We're living under the rule of law."

He attempted to calm his opponent.

However, the hooligans never held any regard for the law. "It's the rule of law for an average man like you. But for us, it's a dog-eat-dog world." To them, the law existed to be broken. The man in the lead was backed by the Britt family, one of the Ten Elites in Bardoff City, and that fueled his arrogance. Zack, the uppermiddle-class guy, was not to be taken seriously.

Zack fell silent, knowing that nothing he said would be of help. Instead, he tilted his head and whispered in Janet's ear, "When I charge at them, you'll take the chance to escape!"

"Zack!" She shook her head. She couldn't make that risky move.

Still, Zack ignored her worries. "Be good. When you're out, tell Gilbert to come save me."

Her eyes turned misty. She wondered, "Would help come in time?"

The man stood in front of Zack with the dagger in hand and a grin on his face.

"So? Have you made your decision?"

Zack smirked at the man and gave him a surprise punch, much to the latter's disbelief. "Bow to you? Dream on!” Next, he roared at Janet, "Janet, run!"

He moved fast, and Janet was well-prepared too. She knew that she would be an obstacle to him if she stayed. Therefore, she chose to run and look for Gilbert. At least, they'd stand a chance against that man.

She reached the door while everyone in the room was momentarily stunned by the attack. Still, she underestimated the capability of the men running the club.

She opened the door to find two bodyguards staring frostily at her.

"I’m going all out!" Zack growled as he locked the man in his arms and went for the door.

The man, boiling in rage, raised the dagger and plunged it into Zack's abdomen.

"All out? I'll kill you."

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1284-To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1283Stop It!

"Ahhh-" Janet's scream pierced through the air. She ran toward Zack like a madwoman when she saw him get stabbed. Before she could go nearer, she was kicked aside by the man. She lost consciousness right after, but before she blacked out, she seemed to see Zack smiling at her as though he was trying to assuage her. She wanted to tell him how upset she was, but in the end, she didn't have the opportunity to do so.

Meanwhile, Jenny woke up groggily at the Old Mansion in Parrington when her phone rang. She was confused when she saw the caller's name. Why would Gilbert call her at this time of night?

"Gilbert?" she answered the call. "Why are you calling at this hour?"

It was just after 1 am, and she was fast asleep until she was awoken by Gilbert's call, which puzzled her.

"What?" She was instantly awake after hearing what Gilbert had to say, and she sat up straight in the bed. "Zack's hurt?"

"Calm down. He's fine. He's at the hospital," Gilbert hurriedly explained to stop her from worrying. He added, "I didn't want to call you, but I worried you would blame me for not keeping you in the loop. So, here I am, telling you about it. I'm not here to make you worried." He knew her well. She'd be upset for not getting the news right away, so he decided to call in the wee hours of the night.

She had gotten out of bed and started dressing. "Of course you have to tell me right away! You're at Bardoff Hospital, right? I'm coming over right now. Let's talk when I'm there."

"Stop!" he scolded. "Don't you ever check the time? You're in Parrington! How on earth are you supposed to travel here?"

She snapped back to reality. Right, she was in Parrington, and there were no flights to Bardoff City at that time.

"Get a good rest and come to Bardoff City tomorrow. He's fine. He only suffered from some bruises."

She pursed her lips, thinking that Zack's condition was not as simple as Gilbert had presented. "Who hurt him?"

"I've gotten that guy under control. It's quite complicated. Let's talk when you're back." Next, he hung up on her, refusing to take more questions.

She stared at her phone helplessly. She badly wanted to fly to Bardoff City. Too bad she was not a bird. When she turned around, she found Alec awake. He must have woken up because of her. Feeling embarrassed, she said, "Sorry. I woke you up."

"Has something happened to Zack?" Alec asked. He observed the panic on Jenny's face.

She nodded and sighed. "Yeah. Gilbert said Zack suffered some bruises, but I think he's doing worse than that. Gilbert wouldn't have called me at this hour otherwise." She guessed that Zack must have been unconscious, for he would have stopped Gilbert from making the call, but he wasn't there to physically stop him.

"Are you very worried?" He looked at her.

She nodded. Of course she was worried about her brother.

He glanced at his phone and told her, "If we start the drive, we can reach Bardoff City around 10 am."

"Huh? What do you mean?" She was caught off guard.

"If you're worried, we can drive to Bardoff City,' he suggested, knowing that Jenny would lose sleep if she could not ascertain Zack's condition with her own eyes. Instead of waiting for the next morning, he thought they should move immediately.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1285-But He's Not the One for You Jenny was taken aback by his proposal. Eyes wide in disbelief, she stared at him. "Drive to Bardoff City?"

"Yeah." He nodded, thinking it was not a big deal as long as she was down for it.

A long silence later, she shook her head.novëxo Although she was worried about Zack and wanted to be back in Bardoff City, driving late at night was taxing and posed a risk of an accident. She wouldn't put them through it. "Let's sleep. We can book the earliest flight tomorrow morning." She went back to bed, but it was destined to be a sleepless night.

At a general ward in Bardoff Hospital, Janet finally opened her eyes. She was temporarily disoriented when she saw the unfamiliar environment. Soon, she recalled the events before losing consciousness, and tears welled up in her eyes. She stumbled out of the room and realized she was in a hospital. That gave her a sliver of hope. If she was in the hospital, did that mean she and Zack were saved?

She hurriedly stopped a nurse and asked if another patient had been sent to the hospital with her. She finally beamed when she heard that a patient had been sent in at the same time. However, the color drained from her face when she learned the patient was in the emergency room.

She found her way to the emergency room entrance with great difficulty. novëxo Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably when she saw the lit-up sign.

That was when Gilbert noticed her presence. He didn't like the woman at all, especially after learning that she had a role in the incident. Thankfully, he found Zack right when the man attempted to stab him for the second time.

Gilbert had wanted to leave Janet behind, disregarding her welfare, but he acted against it out of consideration for Zack. However, nvëlx.o that didn't mean he would show her kindness.

He turned his gaze to the emergency room, his brow furrowed. Zack suffered from one stab wound, but it was critical. The doctor had discussed it with Gilbert and made him sign the notice of critical condition, but he didn't utter a word to Jenny.

"Gilbert." Janet noticed him standing at the entrance. n.ovëx.o She hung her head low and went up to him. He glanced at her without a word. She knew that he never took a liking to her. In the past, she would have felt unfairly treated, but she knew she didn't deserve to think so at this moment. Zack wouldn't have been injured if not for her.

"Zack…he'll be okay, right?" she asked with a shaky voice.

He snickered, "Shouldn't you know best?"

"Sorry. I have no idea…"

"Leave your apology for Zack," he cut her off emotionlessly even as he faced her tears.

She bit her lips and shut up. Indeed, she needed to apologize to Zack.

"How did this happen?" Gilbert asked. n.ovëx.o He didn't have the time to interrogate the men he had arrested.

Her expression fell, but she told him everything without leaving behind any detail. When she was done, she peered at his face. As expected, n.ove.lx.o there was a display of resentment and disgust on it on top of the usual dislike.

"Zack loves you a lot, but he's not the one for you. n.ove.lx.o If you care about him, you shouldn't be with him."

III II "Do you know how much trouble you'd cause him with that family of yours?

Even if he survives this time, we wouldn't know about the next. Could you promise me that he'll survive each attack?" Gilbert questioned.

Janet was quiet, and there was a ghastly look on her face

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1286-A Long Night When the lights of the emergency room sign went out, Gilbert shifted his gaze away from Janet, relieving her from the pressure, even if it was for a while. She followed behind him, listening to him asking the doctor about Zack's condition.

"He's not in critical condition, but we'll have to see how he fares in the next 24 hours," the doctor answered. Gilbert thanked him and watched the nurse wheel Zack into the ICU. Since he and Janet couldn't enter the ICU, they lingered at the entrance, not intending to leave.

Feeling guilty, she offered, "Gilbert, you should head home to rest. I can watch over him." She made the considerate suggestion because she worried that Gilbert would overexert himself.

However, he gave her a hard look. "Zack is my brother. I will watch over him."

He implied that she would remain an outsider as long as she wasn't married to Zack.

She went silent, not knowing what to say in the situation. The air between them froze. They sat at each end of the bench, an entire world separating the two like they were total strangers. It was going to be a long night.

Jenny woke up and started packing early in the morning, while Alec informed Old Mr. Faust about their departure. When she went to the first floor, she ran into Old Mr. Faust, who was up to date on the situation. He comforted her, "Jenny, don't worry. He's a lucky guy, and he'll be fine."

She forced a smile. "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'm okay." She was worried but not to the point of losing her mind. She and Alec had breakfast with Old Mr. Faust but didn't stay for long. They had to leave after breakfast because they had booked the earliest flight out of Parrington.

Before she boarded the plane, she called Gilbert to check on the situation. He assured her Zack was fine, leaving her with no choice but to see that for herself.

She hung up and boarded the flight with Alec. The plane took off soon and vanished from sight as it ascended to the skies above Parrington.

At Bardoff Hospital, Gilbert tucked away his phone and sighed as he stared at Zack, who was still in the ICU despite surviving the crucial 24-hour period. Janet was still around. She washed up at the restroom and returned to stand guard at the ICU entrance.

"We don't need you to stay. Go home." Gilbert rarely interacted with her, but his first conversation was asking her to leave.

She shook her head. "It's alright. I'm not tired. I'll wait until he wakes up."

She was bogged down by guilt toward Zack. Waiting for him to wake up was the least she could do as a girlfriend.

"Zack cares a lot about you. If you fall sick when you wait for him, he'll have to worry about you when he wakes up," Gilbert said. She pursed her lips and thought of replying, but he was ahead of her. "We'll have someone looking after him. I need to rest at home too. I'll come over in the afternoon."

Jenny and Alec would arrive by noon, and Gilbert thought they could brainstorm the next steps together. Janet ran out of excuses to stay, especially after Gilbert said that to her. Still, she didn't wander far. She booked a room at the hotel across from the hospital, where she washed up and lay on the bed. Instead of dozing off, she waited for time to pass.

When noon came around, she'd immediately head to the hospital.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1287-Why Don't You Deal With the Mess That Is Your Family?

At noon, Janet was back at the hospital on an empty stomach. When Gilbert returned, he found her standing at the entrance to the ICU. He ignored her and called Jenny. He didn't say much after learning that she and Alec had alighted and were on their way to the hospital.

"Is Jenny coming?" Janet cast a nervous glance at Gilbert. Although he had never done anything threatening to her, she was fearful of him. In the past, she was fine with Gilbert's aversion as long as Zack loved her. After the incident, she seemed to have lost some of her confidence.

Gilbert glanced at her and grunted without offering more details. Since he refused to engage, Janet knew her place and quietly sat by the ICU.

Half an hour later, Jenny and Alec showed up at the hospital and hurried to the ICU. There, she saw Gilbert, which angered her. "Didn't you say he suffered minor injuries? Why is he warded here, then?"

As a doctor, she knew too well the patient's condition that warranted a stay at the ICU. She realized that Gilbert had been lying to her over the phone. Seeing her agitation, he hurriedly calmed her down. "He's fine. He wont die."

"Gilbert!" She sounded cross, but he felt the same.

He hissed, "He acted stupid by putting himself in danger for someone else. He had no one to blame but himself."

That remark took her by surprise, for she still had no idea what had occurred.

She gave him a puzzled look before shifting her gaze to the silent Janet. When Gilbert realized that Janet was not going to open up, he told Jenny everything.

But in his narration, Janet was to be blamed, and Zack was merely being stupid.

Janet didn't fight back because she agreed it was her fault too.

Jenny felt a headache creeping on after hearing the sequence of events. She waved her hand. "Let's put that aside. I'll check with the doctor. We'll talk about everything else when Zack's awake."

"Sure." Gilbert didn't stop her, knowing she'd only feel assured after asking the doctor questions. Alec went with her, and soon, only Janet and Gilbert were by the ICU. When he realized that she had no intention of leaving, he looked rather annoyed. "Jenny and I will stay. You don't have to be here."

"Gilbert, I'm Zack's girlfriend-"

"You're his girlfriend, not his spouse," he dismissed her with disdain, hoping that Janet wouldn't be in contact with Zack anymore.

She bit her lips. He went on, "Rather than wasting your time here, why don't you deal with the mess that is your family?"

That question seemed to have done the job. She said no more and was ready to leave. "Got it."

Indeed, it was high time she sort out the mess. At least she needed to confront her parents about their treatment of her. Had they never seen her as their daughter?

When Jenny returned, Janet was gone. "Where is she?"

"She left," Gilbert said curtly, sounding quite irritated as though he refused to mention Janet.

Knowing what was in his mind, she advised him, "Gilbert, even if she was the reason behind Zack's injuries, she was not to blame. She can't choose her parents. You don't have to shift your anger to her."

"If she can't choose her parents, why doesn't she choose to stay away from Zack? Zack wouldn't be lying here if it weren't for her.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor 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 relationship. It's all up to him. If he's willing to die for Janet, our protests won't do a thing." After the incident, Jenny finally realized that Zack must have fallen hard for Janet. 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 Janet 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?"

Janet 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 Janet if they had an ounce of conscience.

Janet 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 succumbed 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 collateral. 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

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1289-t Depends on How Determined You Are "You alright?" Jenny was worried at the sight of her pale face. At the end of the day, Janet was not at fault. She and Gilbert merely thought that Janet wasn't suitable for Zack. However, judging from recent events, it would be impossible to separate the two-at least, she had given up on that. She'd rather peacefully accept the fact that she might have Janet as a sister-in- law.

"I'm good." Janet nodded and forced a smile. Jenny didn't press on, knowing that no one would feel okay given the circumstances. "Where are you going? I'll give you a lift.’ Janet wanted to turn down the offer, but Jenny insisted, “Get into the car." She held the door open for Janet, and Janet had no way to reject her.

Janet thanked her and went into the car.

Alec was in the driver's seat, Jenny beside him. Janet settled into the back seat without a word. It was Jenny who finally broke the silence, "Gilbert can be harsh.

Don't take his words to heart. As long as you and Zack are truly in love, no one can stop you from seeing each other."

"I know. But Gilbert wasn't wrong." Janet smiled wryly. She refused to admit the truth, but she was indeed not a perfect match for Zack. Putting aside the problem of her birth family, she was not a good candidate for Zack's partner with her qualifications. Moreover, her life was greatly entwined with her troubled family.

She heard from Gilbert that he and his siblings were orphans who had never met their parents. Jenny was finally united with her parents much later. At that time, she wondered how nice it would be if she were an orphan. Her childhood might be rough, but things would have gotten much better as an adult. She wouldn't have had to suffer during her childhood only to be a sacrificial adult child.

Her parents exploited her, and only her, but if she married Zack, she worried that her parents would lay their fingers on him as well. Would she be causing harm to Zack? She had once dreamed of Zack as the dashing prince who would save her from her hellish life, but what if she was the one who dragged him into her hell? She shuddered at the possibility.

"The incident this time is not your fault." Jenny was worried that Janet might overthink. "I'll make those men pay for hurting Zack. As for your parents…Have you thought of a way to deal with them?"

If Janet wanted to be with Zack, she couldn't allow her parents to treat her in the same manner. Her parents were a time bomb that would explode any day.

Janet shook her head with a bitter smile. "I don't know how to deal with them. In fact, I wished I never had parents like them." But what else could she do?

"There's always going to be a way. It depends on how determined you are,"

Jenny casually remarked.

Janet's eyes lit up with hope as she stared at Jenny. "What's it?"

"There's no rush to discuss this. Go home and have a good rest. I need to think this through. Plus, we need to wait until Zack’s awake." Jenny didn't have a clear picture yet, but getting rid of two people wasn't too hard.

Janet pursed her lips and asked no more. She knew her situation was tricky, and she didn't have much hope of ever solving it. She had tried to sever ties with her parents, but it was useless. She only enjoyed two days of peace when her parents regretted their decision-they went to her workplace and put on a show, kicking and crying, forcing her to cave in.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1290-You're Inviting Yourself The car rolled to a stop in front of Zack's villa. Jenny told Janet, "Rest well.

Have a good sleep. Zack might already be awake by the time you're up."

"Okay." Nodding, Janet left the car. Jenny let Alec drive away only after she watched Janet enter the villa.

On their way back, Alec joked, "I thought you hated her. Looks like you've accepted her."

"Well, she must be someone he loves dearly if he's willing to give up his life for her. If so, why should I hate her? I should accept her instead."

If she refused to change her attitude, she might alienate herself from Janet, or worse, Zack. Every individual had the right to make their personal decisions. It might not be an acceptable decision at the moment, but sooner or later, people around them would come to accept it.

"You're quite cool about it." Alec smiled and admired her carefree attitude. Since she couldn't change Zack's decision, she tried to accept it. The world would be simpler if everyone acted this way.

She put a hand on her head and sighed. "I have no choice. I don't want to be a frustrated young lady." No matter who Zack married, he was the one who would spend his life with the woman. As his sister, she had no right to interfere too much. She was fine as long as Zack and his partner were happy.

They arrived at their villa. Feeling spent from the flight and the trip to visit Zack, they took a nap once they arrived. It was dark outside when Jenny was woken up by the sound of her ringing phone. It was a call from Gilbert.

"Gilbert, did something happen?" she answered in a panic.

Gilbert was speechless at her reaction and replied, "Don't you worry. Zack's doing fine. He has woken up, and he's been transferred to the normal ward."

"Is that true? Great! I'll head to the hospital now."

With that, she rolled out of bed and shook off the exhaustion. After hanging up, she noticed that Alec had dressed himself. When she approached, he asked, "I thought you said you were going to the hospital. Let's go, shall we? It "It's late. Are you going too?" Jenny knew Alec was much busier than her. He really didn't have to join her.

However, he didn't take that into consideration as he got up. "Zack is your brother, so he's mine too. Of course, I have to visit my brother when he's in the hospital."

Heh, Alec was inviting himself. Jenny didn’t bother to argue with him, and they went to the hospital together after she changed her clothes.

Gilbert likely informed Janet, or maybe Zack forced him to do so. When Jenny and Alec arrived, they found Janet in Zack's room. She had arrived sooner than them.
