Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 708

"Has the time and date for the surgery been fixed?" Jayson lowered his gaze and swallowed hard.

Liam thought for a moment. "We've already scheduled it. She also happens to have the time to go through with the procedure soon."

Jayson lifted his head and looked at Liam with an intense gaze. "Have you decided which approach you'll be taking?"

By recalling their past interactions, Liam could roughly guess Ariel's stance. "From her point of view, I think she'll want to try to keep her uterus."

"Can you just remove the uterus entirely?"

Jayson's voice cut him off mid-sentence.

Liam widened his eyes and studied Jayson. He immediately noticed the steely determination reflected in the man's gaze. At that moment, it was clear—nothing else in the world mattered to Jayson as much as Ariel.

Liam suddenly understood why Jayson said what he did. Narrowing his eyes, he asked, "Mr. Larkin, are you trying to make the decision for her?"

"Does anything matter more than keeping her alive?" Jayson pressed his fist against the wall as he tried to steady himself. Though his voice was still hoarse, his eyes blazed with resolve. He could not allow any risk that might endanger Ariel's life.

He also fully understood what Liam had told him. If the surgery failed, Ariel might not have much longer to live. With late-stage cancer, she could not afford to take such a gamble.

Jayson hated himself. Why did he have to spend that night with Ariel on the cruise? He was the very reason she had ended up in this condition.

He knew Ariel better than anyone else. She might appear cold and aloof, but deep down, she was soft-hearted.
