Chapter 1230 Soup for Me
No one was willing to take Jenny to see Alec. As she was still physically very weak, she could only give up.
"Gilbert, can you help me look up that dead driver? I don't think it was just an accident." She didn't believe that things could happen so coincidentally. Even if it really was an accident, she had to look into it herself and dispel any suspicious points.
Gilbert didn't refuse. "Okay, I'll look into it for you. But promise me you'll take care of yourself and not do anything reckless."
"Don't worry, I know." Jenny nodded. With her current condition, she could barely even get out of bed, let alone leave the ward.
Gilbert and Zack stayed in the ward with Jenny for half an hour before leaving the hospital, leaving only Stephanie to take care of her.
In the evening, Graham and Lynette came to visit.
In the past two days, there had been various rumors about Jenny and Alec's accident among the Faust and Walter family members. As a result, Graham had to spend more time dealing with company matters. He even had to find a way to keep the Faust family running until Alec was back in action.
Fortunately, Alec had taken good care of his family business. Even though he had an accident, the Fausts didn't immediately fall into chaos.
"Jenny, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Lynette looked at her pale face with reddened eyes, feeling extremely concerned. Jenny shook her head. "I'm fine, really."
"Fine?" With her weak voice, it was hard to believe her words. Lynette turned her head, apparently unable to hold back her tears.
Graham sat next to her, feeling guilty. "It's my fault for not protecting you well as your father."
"Dad, I'm not a child. I don't need your protection." Given the situation back then, even if Graham had been with her, what could he do?
Although she said that to console him, Graham was still very upset, so he decided to stay and look after Jenny. He couldn't let anything else happen to her.
"Mr. Walter, Madam Bell, you should go back and rest. I'll stay here and take care of Jenny. I'm sure nothing will happen with me here," Stephanie persuaded them.
Graham looked at Stephanie gratefully. "Steph, you're a good kid. I know you'll take care of my Jenny, but we're her parents. It's our responsibility to stay and take care of her. You should go back and rest instead."
The two of them kept pushing back and forth for some time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion as to who should stay. Seeing how each party kept insisting that they should be the ones to stay, Jenny spoke up.
"Dad, you guys go back first. Let Steph take care of me."
Both her parents were not young anymore. If they were to take care of her in the hospital for the whole night, their bodies might not be able to take it. If they were to collapse, she would be worried about them instead.
Jenny was very firm about it, so Graham and Lynette looked at each other helplessly and nodded. "Alright, we'll come see you again tomorrow." "Okay." Jenny nodded slightly.
As they were leaving, Lynette handed over the soup she'd brought. "Here's some soup I made for you. Do have some."
"Okay, thank you." Jenny didn't refuse Lynette's kindness. She knew that her mother wanted to make up for the years of being absent from her daughter's life. Jenny didn't mind. If this could make her feel better, why should she refuse? And so, Lynette put the soup on Jenny's bedside table and left the ward with Graham. The ward soon quieted down. Stephanie took the thermos bottle that Lynette had placed by the bed and opened it. The fragrance of the soup immediately wafted out. "It smells so good."
"Ahem! The doctor said you still can't eat anything, so I'll take care of this for you," Stephanie said unabashedly, as she was getting hungry.
