Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 747

Jayson wore a deep frown as his vision began to blur and darken.

Ariel's panicked voice kept him conscious for a fleeting moment. Slowly, he raised his hand and gently caressed the back of her head. "It's alright… Arthur and the others will be here soon. You have nothing to be afraid of…"

His voice was barely audible, drained of strength. Ariel felt as though needles were piercing her heart as she listened to his words of comfort.

Ignoring the pain in her arm—likely broken from the fall—she climbed off Jayson. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she lightly patted his cheek. "Where does it hurt? Jayson, open your eyes and look at me!"

She tried to locate his injuries but dared not touch him too roughly.

Jayson had taken the full impact when he caught her—a grown woman—after her fall from the second floor. Even though Ariel was considered light for her size, the force of the impact would have caused serious damage.

Jayson could barely keep his eyes open. Ariel's voice began to sound distant.

Then she noticed her hands were covered in blood—still warm.

Her heart sank. Her face turned pale. The warmth meant Jayson was still bleeding.

Frozen in place, Ariel knelt beside him, panic rising in her chest. Her voice cracked as she cried out, "Lucas! Arthur! Someone bring the car! He… he needs to get to the hospital now!"

Just then, Arthur's car pulled up. With a grim expression, Arthur jumped out, lifted Jayson onto his back, and rushed him into the vehicle.

Police sirens wailed in the distance, and the area quickly descended into chaos.

Ariel, supporting her injured arm, climbed into the car.

They sped to the hospital, where Jayson was immediately transferred to the operating room via the VIP passage.

Ariel stood outside the operating room, ears ringing. Her injured arm hung limply at her side, trembling slightly. But she didn't cry. She just stared at the operating room doors.

Arthur soon noticed something was wrong with her arm and called for a doctor.
