Chapter 194 What Type of Person Are You?
Startled, Jenny had no words.
“Didn’t you say that if I come out alive, you’ll give me a chance to pursue you? Is that still the case?” he
asked. Her cheeks instantly reddened, and she dodged his gaze. He seemed disappointed at her
silence.” I thought you were serious, but it looks like you were fooling with me.”
She could tell he was disheartened, and she felt sorry for him. “I am serious.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, but I’ll only give you a chance. I’ve never agreed to a relationship. What’s so exciting about that?”
she replied, but she had no idea if she was addressing him or herself.
He was unbothered by her statement. Regardless of the outcome, as long as he bagged a chance to

for him. “Were you watching over me these few days?” He overheard her conversation with Vincent and
was secretly over the moon.
As usual, she denied it and shook her head. “Why would I do that? I have many patients to attend to.”
“Oh,” Her denial didn’t affect him because he knew the truth.
Uninterested in continuing the conversation, she changed the topic. “The rescue mission has ended. You
can get ready to return to Parrington.”
“What about you?” he wondered aloud.
“I’ll stay for a few days as some of the villagers are still in recovery. They have limited healthcare here,
and they would be left with no doctor if I were to leave,” she answered. However, what saddened her the

no matter what decision they made, the future would be challenging for them.
He noticed the sympathy in her eyes. “Are you worried about their lives after the earthquake?”
“Yes. The entire village is ruined, and many houses have collapsed. They don’t even have a roof over
their heads. She sighed and felt frustrated at her lack of ability to help.
He couldn’t resist poking fun at her. “I never thought that Dr. Walter could be so melancholic.”
“How about you?” she asked. “What type of person are you?” He gave no answer, which was fine by her
because she was not expecting one. She said, “The famous Mr. Faust from Parrington risks his life to

host a charity program annually. We still haven’t executed our plan this year. I think we could use the
funds to rebuild Clearwater Village.”
She stood frozen as she scrambled for a reply.
“Go discuss with the villagers. They can rebuild on top of their old homes or relocate elsewhere. The
Faust Group will bear all the costs,” he explained.
There was a war in her mind. The more she got to know Alec, the more she realized that he was different
from what the rumors portrayed.
“You didn’t have to do that…” she finally blurted out, even though she didn’t know what else to say. He
stared deep into her eyes and declared boldly. Til do anything as long as it makes you happy.”
