Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 720 Chapter 721 Jayson's lips were warm, carrying a cool, subtle scent. It hit Ariel's senses like a jolt. She froze at once. The anger that had been raging through her mind just moments ago stalled midstream. She couldn't process the situation and couldn't understand why Jayson would do something like this out of nowhere. Neither of them closed their eyes. Jayson didn't miss a single flicker of expression on her face. Before she could react, his other hand had already ended the call. It wasn't until Morgan's voice faded that Ariel snapped back to herself.

Jayson's move had been too sudden. By the time she registered it, she had only taken a small step back. "What are you doing?" She frowned slightly as she looked at him, feeling a bit puzzled. It wasn't really a big deal. After all, they had done this countless times before. But after so long, and with their previous unpleasant encounter, it was inevitable that she felt strange. After asking the question, Ariel lifted her hand to wipe her lips. Jayson narrowed his gaze. "You find me disgusting?" Ariel paused.

"Aren't you the one being abrupt?" "Other than the abruptness, you're okay with it?" She stared at him quietly. "Jayson, what the hell are you doing?" He didn't rush to straighten up. His gaze swept downward, and his fingertip brushed her lip before he asked, ' Are those irrelevant people really worth your anger?" Well, shifting her attention to him worked pretty well. Better to vent at him than stew over Morgan. But Jayson thought she would at least instinctively slap him. He didn't expect her to be so calm. 11 Ariel understood what he meant. He clearly heard everything.

There were plenty of ways to stop the call, but he chose the one most beneficial to himself. "Stay away from me, Mr. Larkin. Don't forget, I have cancer, and the cells might spread. Aren't you afraid-' Original content can be found at find~novel~net "Afraid of what? It's not contagious." Jayson sat in front of her and glanced at her phone. "If it were, I could share the burden. My body's stronger than yours anyway." Ariel went speechless. She wanted to say that people usually avoided cancer patients and to ask if he felt uncomfortable about it.

1/3 Chapter 721 She couldn't help noticing the difference in Jayson now. +25 BONUS "Watch your words. Being sick is not a good thing." Ariel felt her anger over Morgan melt a little under Jayson's audacity. She was calmer now. She had been seriously pissed just now. After all, Elena was her bottom line. Morgan had crossed it. "If it could get you healthy, it'd be worth it," Jayson murmured. His eyes traced the ridge of her back, which was thinner than before. The curve of her spine showed under the thin silk of her nightgown. He clenched his fingers silently.

Being with him now, Ariel felt a strange unease. Jayson was being brutally honest now, and she wasn't fully used to it. "You don't need to worry about Morgan. I'll take care of it." Jayson knew Ariel wasn't in the mood to talk about her illness. His gaze swept to the phone, a faint shadow of menace stirring in his eyes. "Anything you're worried about won't happen. Just ignore his words." He had been furious when he heard Morgan speaking to her that way. He couldn't allow anyone to torment Ariel, not when her body was so fragile. A thought struck Ariel.

Hesitant, she asked, "Did you know something happened with the Sandersons?" It wasn't explicit, but both knew the meaning. "I've arranged for several experts from abroad to fly to Eldoria and consult with Liam. They'll come up with the best plan for you. Within two weeks at most, you'll have a solid surgical plan and can go straight to the operation. Trust me, and trust yourself." 1 This time, he would be with her.
