Chapter 1029 He's Awake?
Mhm. Have you had dinner?" Jenny went to sit across from Evan.
Evan nodded. "Don't worry about me. I have a personal chef, remember?"
Though having asked Jenny to move in with him, Evan still didn't want to control her too
much. He didn't want to upset her, after all.
"Here. Got you a present for New Year's." Jenny handed him a present.
Evan took it, surprised. "Isn't New Year's in two days? Why1 re you giving me this now?"
Jenny shrugged. "It's all the same to me."
Evan smiled. "Thank you.’
"Open it. See if you like what I got you." Jenny beamed at him, hoping Evan's moods might
lift with the present she got for him.
"I'll love anything you give me." Evan opened the present up. Upon seeing it was a tie, he
smiled. "Stylish. Thank you."
"I'm glad you like it. I wasn't sure what you liked; I just felt like this suited you."
Evan wanted to ask if anyone else had gotten such a gift, but he swallowed his words at
the last second.
Afterward, Jenny got up. ’I'll wheel you back into your room."
"Alright." Evan nodded.
After he'd returned to his room, Jenny went back to hers. Her phone rang the instant she
switched on the lights. It was Alec.
"Are you back?" Alec asked.
Standing in front of the window, Jenny spotted him across the building." You're not gonna
spy on me forever, are you?"
That was creepy.
"As long as I'm working in the study, I'll always notice when you light your room up," Alec
huffed.
"Oh...anyway, aren't you going to bed yet?"
"I was waiting for you," Alec replied. "Did you have fun today?"
"Mhm.’ It was easy to forget all her troubles while spending time with Stephanie.
"You should go out more often with her then." Alec wasn't the least bit upset that Jenny
hadn't invited him to hang out. All that mattered was her happiness.
Jenny hummed in assent, feeling conflicted about the upcoming New Year's. "Will you be
going back to Parrington for New Year's?"
Old Mr. Faust was still alone at Parrington, waiting for Alec to visit, most likely.
"Nah. I've sent someone to bring Grandpa here. He should reach tomorrow. " If his
grandfather didn't mind, Alec would love to have him stay in Bardoff City with him so he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould look after him.
Jenny blinked in surprise, then thought it was only natural Alec would do that. He'd most
likely settle in Bradoff City long term, so his grandfather would need to move one way or
another. "That sounds good. Having Grandpa here will be better than leaving him alone in
Parrington."
"Yeah. Mortimer Faust just woke up, too."
"What?" Now Jenny was really taken aback. It was extremely rare for those in a coma to
ever regain consciousness.
"Yeah." Alec nodded. "That's why there's hope for Evan's injuries yet."
Jenny agreed with him. She hadn't believed in a miracle before, but hearing about
Mortimer's recovery gave her hope.
If a vegetable could come back to their awareness, Evan would definitely recover!"
