Chapter 45 You Like Her

Pain and regret mingled together. She was considering going downstairs to buy some medicine when she heard footsteps at the front door. She looked over and saw Alec. "You didn't leave?" she exclaimed. "I only have painkillers. I don't have anything to help with your stomach. You can take this for now." He handed the pills to her and gently gave her a glass of hot water. Jenny didn't care about being polite and gulped them down. Ten minutes later, she felt much better. She sat up and thanked Alec. He glanced at her, his irises dark. After a while, he said, "Do you have a death wish, skipping meals when you have stomach issues?" She sipped the hot water, feeling better. "You know what happened today. Where would I find the time to eat?" She didn't want to perform surgery on an empty stomach either, but one procedure would take six to seven hours. She couldn't stop in the middle of surgery to eat. That would be terrifying. Alec didn't reply. "Are you better now?" "Much better."
