Chapter 36 I’m Only Interested in You
They stared at each other. Jenny saw a flash of hatred in his eyes.
She was sure that she hadn’t done anything against him, much less anything that would invoke his wrath. What was the source of his rage? Was it Alec?
In an instant, realization dawned on her.
“I’m not interested in Alec, either,” she replied. “I don’t know what grudges you two hold against each other, but I want no part of it.”
“That’s a stretch. I’m only interested in you.” Max went back to normal in the blink of an eye. His cheerful demeanor looked nothing like someone who would want to kill his own father.
“Well, I refuse,” she said.
Max wasn’t angry. He stood, smiling. “It’s okay. There is time, still. I believe that I will make you like me one day.”
Before waiting for Jenny to reply, he left the office.
Jenny was speechless. What a day it was.
She had another surgery scheduled for that afternoon. Right as she was about to prepare, Morgan rushed
up to her.
“Dr. Walter, there’s a patient in the emergency room who insists on surgery,” she said unhappily.
“What’s the matter? Is it serious?” Jenny asked, walking toward the emergency room.
But Morgan pulled her back. “Don’t go there. That patient’s family is really stubborn. It’s just a mild concussion. There is no need for surgery at all. The doctors in the emergency room have already told them this, but they refuse to believe it. They insist on seeing you.”
Jenny’s eyebrows furrowed. After some thought, she said, “I’ll take a look.”
“Okay.” Seeing that she insisted, Morgan said nothing else, following Jenny to the emergency room.
Not long after, they reached the emergency room and were immediately surrounded.
Jenny did the checkup and said, “There are no major issues. Only a few scrapes and a mild concussion. You’ll be fine after staying here for a few days. You don’t need surgery.”
“Absolutely not.” A woman rushed over and pointed at Joey. “He looks fine, but I’m sure his brain is
bleeding. How can surgery not be needed?”
Displeasure flashed across Jenny’s eyes as she looked at the woman. “You are his?”
“Mother,” she continued, “He must have surgery. What If something happens? Will you be responsible for
it?”
“He is fine in every way. There is no reason for us to perform surgery on him.” Jenny explained, visibly annoyed. “Why do you think he needs one?”
“I’m his mother. If I say he needs one, he gets one.” The woman was insistent, a ferocious look on her face.
