On the contrary, Alec was afraid that she would have no conditions. Things would be much easier if she set conditions.

After a moment of thought, Jenny answered, "I'm planning to build a laboratory, and I need funds and equipment."

"no problem, everything will be provided by the Faust Group," he replied.

"Parrington hospital lacks the latest surgical equipment," she added.

"the Faust Group will be responsible for providing it."

He would have done it even if Jenny had never mentioned it. After all, he wouldn't allow Faye to take any risk.

The way he agreed to her conditions with so much ease made Jenny feel weird. She couldn't discern what emotion was stinging her heart, but it did not feel good.

"Mr. Faust, you're willing to do anything for Miss Lawrence. Aren't you?"

"yes, because she is very important to me, he answered, nodding without hesitation. How could the person entrusted to him by his savior before his death be unimportant?"

It turned out that he was not as ruthless as the rumors said. He was only cruel when it came to Jenny.

She decided not to concern herself with it. After all, they had divorced, and the operation procedure would be their last interaction.

"is that so? Since that's the case, why don't you donate a building? The hospital is short of an inpatient building."

Parrington hospital was improvised; they had a limited number of beds, and many patients could not be hospitalized. Asking to donate a building would benefit the doctors and patients in Parrington.

Alec's face went dark with gloom immediately. Gritting his teeth, he replied in annoyance, "Dr. Walter, you really care for your hospital, don't you?"

The equipment fund alone would cost him millions. Now he was expected to donate a whole building, which would cost him a few millions.

Although Alec was clearly unhappy, Jenny couldn't care less.

"since you don't seem too keen, I won't force you. However, Miss Lawrence --"

"I'll donate a building!" he forced himself to say. He figured she must have known that he would agree to any condition.

Indeed, Jenny was confident he would agree. After all, no amount of money was worth more than his beloved.

"do you have any other conditions, Dr. Walter? Just name them all right now."

Exuding an imposing air, he stared at her, his expression livid. It was as if he would strangle her if she named another condition.

Jenny knew she was testing his limits at this point. In addition, she would have agreed to perform the surgery even if Alec refused to comply with her request. Hence, she was delighted with the outcome.

Shaking her head, she said, "That's it."

"The surgery---"

"The surgery will commence once you donate the equipment to Parrington Hospital," she replied.

"the equipment will arrive here tomorrow morning," he answered. Staring at her seriously, he said, "I'll leave Faye's life in your hands, Dr. Walter."
