Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 668

Liam caught the trace of self-mockery and defeat in Jayson's face. For a man like him to look that way, it was obvious that…

Jayson's throat bobbed as he clenched his fists and lowered his head. The weight of exhaustion and shock seemed to crush him. Every breath burned in his chest like shards of glass.

He lowered his gaze, his lips curving into a silent, self-mocking smile. His eyes held the hollow pain of a man whose hope had burned out, yet he didn't say another word.

His whole presence radiated a sharp, suffocating intensity, one that nearly stole the air from the room.

Meanwhile, Janice's mind was racing.

She didn't explain anything to Jayson. Instead, she turned straight to Liam. Jayson was lost in his own storm, oblivious to everything else.

"Dr. Spencer, could you…" Janice met Liam's eyes, making her meaning clear.

Liam understood. She didn't want him telling Jayson anything about Ariel's condition.

He gave a small nod.

This was Ariel's private matter, after all. He had no intention of interfering in her personal life.

Glancing at his watch, he said, "I've got another surgery to get to. Once Ariel's awake, you can come find me anytime."

The syringe he had removed from her earlier was already disposed of after its contents were identified. It was highly dangerous for a pregnant woman.

He would have to talk to Ariel once she was stable.

He still didn't know what had happened in the consultation room, but he had already reported the incident to the hospital. Now, all he could do was wait for the results.

"Okay. Thank you." Janice's feelings were complicated.

This surgery wasn't even supposed to happen today. It was really an accident.

Liam hurried off.

When Janice turned back, she saw Jayson standing there in silence. His features were clouded with grief so raw it almost seemed broken.

Ariel's choice had clearly struck him hard.
