Dead at Heart novel

Chapter 767 768 Ariel stared at Jayson in disbelief, stunned once again by the man before her. Sensing what she was thinking, Jayson spoke honestly. "I didn't consider the possibility that you might be sick back then. At first, I thought maybe we could start over since you were pregnant. I believed the baby might be the key to bringing us back together. "I was overjoyed when I went to see you. But you told me you didn't want to keep the baby." Ariel's fingers curled slightly, numb from shock. "It's not that I didn't want to keep the baby.

The baby wouldn't have survived with my health in that condition." "I know. I misunderstood you," Jayson admitted, his tone heavy with regret. He had been an absolute jerk back then. He gently caressed the back of her hand. "Because of that misunderstanding, I thought you didn't love me anymore-that you wanted to end the pregnancy because of Lucas calling off his wedding. "But this was our child. I couldn't just stand by and watch you go through with the abortion. While you promised you'd wait until I came back, I secretly contacted the medical institution in Nacsall.

It was because of my insecurity and foolish suspicions. "I arranged for several doctors to be on standby and had all the necessary equipment delivered to the hospital." Jayson's voice softened with relief as he recalled, "When the incident happened that day, the men I had stationed at the hospital reported that you were about to have an abortion. They must have missed some details when passing along the message. "The doctors I hired carried out the procedure.

They extracted the baby in the operating room and transferred it into an artificial womb to keep it alive." Ariel could feel her heartbeat quickening. She was starting to feel light-headed. "Do you remember how I rushed back to see you, and we ended up parting on bad terms that night? After that, I left the country for a while." "I do." There was no way Ariel could forget that awful day. Jayson held her gaze. "The baby had just been brought to Nacsall then, and her condition was still unstable.

A medical team of more than 30 people was on standby around the clock to monitor her and keep her alive. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ FindNovel.net "I went there to make sure she was all right. After staying for over a week and confirming there were no major issues, I came back to see you." "What about the baby? How is she now?" Ariel was so anxious that her heart could almost just leap out of her chest. She leaned forward, plopping to the floor in front of him, gripping his arm tightly. Jayson patted her head gently. "She's doing very well. She's healthy.

There's only one month left before she can be safely transferred into an incubator." 1/3 Ariel's tears overflowed instantly-tears of pure joy. She quickly wiped them away. "Can I see her now?" Jayson tried to calm her. "I know you can't wait, but it's better if we give it some time. Let's go together when my condition improves, alright?" He hadn't planned on telling Ariel about the baby so soon. It would've been safer to wait until the baby's condition was completely stable.

Originally, he wanted to share the news only after the baby was safely transferred from the artificial womb to the incubator. But he couldn't bear to watch Ariel suffer in silence any longer. Ariel finally snapped out of her daze and glanced at the area where Jayson's wounds were. "Alright. By the way, why didn't you tell me about this sooner?" "This technology isn't a hundred percent safe," Jayson explained. "There's no guarantee the baby will survive to full term in the artificial womb. I didn't want to give you hope only to take it away later.

Besides..." A flicker of pain crossed his eyes. "At the time, I thought you wanted nothing more to do with me for the rest of your life. My heart was torn to shreds. So, I decided I'd raise the baby on my own."
