Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 759 Chapter 760 +25 BONUS Liam studied Jayson with a suspicious look in his eyes. "I noticed something unusual when examining Ariel's uterus." Jayson didn't seem surprised. He slowly lifted his gaze and met Liam's eyes. Then he said something that only the two of them understood. "Well, your instincts are probably right." (6 Ariel was transferred to the VIP ward next to Jayson's. Her family and friends followed closely behind, entering the room with quiet relief. At the end of the corridor, Lucas stood watching everything unfold.

He had arrived earlier, just as Ariel was taken into surgery. But he knew he had no right to join the others as family. He had done Ariel wrong and hurt her time and time again. Seeing her survive the surgery brought him a sense of relief. For the first time in days, he felt like he could breathe. He walked to the smoking area. With trembling hands, he lit a cigarette and exhaled slowly, a wry smile forming on his lips. What was he still hoping for? Too much had changed. He and Ariel could never go back to what they once were. And Jayson clearly cared for her more deeply than he ever had.

Lucas stood there for a long time, trying to calm the storm of emotions inside him. Eventually, his phone buzzed. Wendy was calling again. She had been trying to reach him nonstop, but Lucas had ignored every call. Instead, he opened a news article under the finance section. It was a scandal involving the Johnstone family, and their stock prices were plummeting. Lucas still had some unfinished business with them. *** Three days after the surgery, Ariel remained in a coma due to the significant blood loss. Meanwhile, Jayson was recovering quickly.

He stopped returning to his own ward and spent nearly all his time in Ariel's ward. Sitting beside her bed, he gently tucked the blanket around her. "You should wake up soon so we can start over. You've lost so much weight. Once you're better, I'll feed you all the good food you love. You're beautiful no matter what, but I prefer seeing you healthy-free from pain." Jayson didn't care whether she could hear him. He reached for a large envelope on the bedside table and opened Chapter 760 +25 BONUS A ring rolled out when he tilted it.

He took Ariel's hand and carefully slipped the ring onto her finger. Then he stared at the diamond, his expression soft. "I knew what it was from the beginning. But what could I do? I couldn't yell at you. I just pretended not to notice. I've kept this ring for a long time. Now it's yours again. Let's never take our rings off again, alright?" He paused, then added, "I haven't even thanked you. You handled all those messy issues, even while sick and injured." Jayson placed her palm against his cheek. "I won't let you lose Nexura Solutions. I gave it to you, and I'll protect it.

Don't worry about the personal liability clause either. I won't let you carry that burden. "Ari, how about I take you to Nouburgh once you've recovered? Do you have any objections?" He hooked his pinky around hers. "I'll take your silence as a yes. No backing out." That was the scene Janice walked in on. Standing quietly at the door, she listened to Jayson's words. She had visited the hospital every day for the past two days. Each time, she found Jayson talking to Ariel nonstop. He never left her side. His feelings were so clear, so genuine, there was no need for words.

Janice watched for a moment, then decided not to interrupt. She turned and headed downstairs to the convenience store to grab some food. Just as she reached the ground floor, she ran into a familiar face. The man was staring at a bill in his hand, his expression grim. He hadn't noticed Janice at all. Chapter 761
