Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 710

Jayson's eyelashes trembled.

A dawning realization struck him as Ariel's words sank in.

He had misinterpreted everything without ever hearing her out. That was why Ariel chose not to explain. She wasn't blaming him for resenting her—she simply believed the man he had been back then did not deserve the truth.

"Liam Spencer told me what happened." Jayson's lips curved into a faint, mocking smile. A bitter ache spread through his chest.

Ariel wasn't surprised. "Alright. Then you know what to do next."

She trusted that Jayson would act without her needing to say more. After all, the child hadn't only been hers.

Unexpectedly, Ariel felt a sense of liberation after speaking openly. As for her cancer…

"Let's go overseas so you can receive better treatment. Please?" The only thing Jayson cared about now was her health. He knew the severity of her illness and its consequences—realities he could neither accept nor allow. He would not let anything bad happen to her.

He would exhaust every possible method to help her regain a healthy, cancer-free body. Besides, he hadn't earned her forgiveness and hadn't given her the life she deserved. But there was still time, and he would no longer allow her to face hardships alone.

Ariel stiffened as she met his eyes. The pain and agony reflected in them were so clear that it stole her breath. She exhaled slowly. "Dr. Spencer is very capable. I've already discussed everything with him and finalized the treatment plan. He's a cancer specialist—on par with some of the best experts in the world."

Jayson longed to ask her to give up the idea of keeping her uterus and opt for a hysterectomy instead. But the words stuck in his throat.

He understood. For any woman, it was not an easy choice. It wasn't a matter he could solve by claiming he didn't care if she bore an heir. Because honestly, the only thing he cared about was her.

"Cancer? What cancer?" The door swung open. Lucas stood there, face ashen, clearly having overheard everything. He looked as though he couldn't accept the harsh reality.

When Jayson had rushed Ariel out of the Rose Luxe Hotel, Lucas had followed out of worry, slipping past Arthur only after much persuasion. And now, to his horror, these were the words he heard.

With a grim look, he demanded, "What do you mean? What exactly are you hiding from me?"
