Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 744

Seeing that, Jayson froze in place. His eyes locked on the name.

After a long moment, he finally let out a breath and sent Ariel a text. "Where are you? Want to grab dinner tonight? I can pick you up."

After sending the message, he stared at the chat for a moment and then pinned it to the top.

…

Ariel was in a meeting with Faye Technologies' tech department, discussing current system optimizations with Noah and Chad.

Chad frowned when he saw her. "You just never stop, do you? Why don't you rest for once?"

Ariel watched the numbers flicker on the screen and smiled slightly. "I'm fine. Keeping busy helps. Plus, my surgery date is basically set."

Chad put down his folder and frowned. "That surgery plan…"

He had heard Janice mention it. Ariel's condition wasn't good. It might require a full hysterectomy.

Ariel blinked and kept jotting down data. "I have to do whatever has to be done."

Chad saw the worry lurking under her calm and patted her shoulder. "As long as the operation goes well, the rest can be sorted."

Ariel's eyes flickered slightly, and she finally nodded.

They finished the tech meeting, and there was progress to check at Nexura Solutions' factory. Chad insisted on handling that himself, keeping Ariel out of it, so she let him.

She stayed at Faye Technologies for a long time before heading back.

When she went down to the parking lot, she checked her phone before getting into the car and saw Jayson's message.

His tone was calm and composed. As she read the words, she could almost hear him speaking.

In truth, what he said did strike a chord with her.

It was clear there had been misunderstandings on both sides on the day of her diagnosis.
