Dead at Heart (Ariel and Jayson) novel Chapter 757

Jayson's chest heaved as he inhaled deeply. The corners of his eyes tinged red. "Alright, go ahead. Tell me about her condition."

Liam turned to one of the specialists standing nearby—part of the team Jayson had personally brought in from overseas to treat Ariel.

The expert spoke fluent Merinian. "Mr. Larkin, your wife's body has suffered significant damage following the induced abortion. Her case can no longer be compared to standard cases of endometrial cancer.

"If you choose to preserve the uterus, our team can safely remove the tumor. However, I'll be frank—there's a high risk of recurrence and metastasis."

It was obvious which option they should go with.

Jayson's mouth went dry as he looked at Ariel, unconscious and fragile.

He knew what needed to be done. But he wasn't sure how Ariel would feel about it. After all, it was her body.

Still, the decision had to be made.

"Just remove her uterus entirely," Evelyn said quietly, breaking her silence.

She looked at Ariel's frail form, barely recognizing the once gentle and reserved woman from her memories.

Evelyn understood the doctors' warning. If they didn't remove the uterus now, a relapse could be devastating. Metastasis would complicate treatment further, and not all organs could be removed as easily as the uterus.

As for the matter of having children…

Evelyn turned to Jayson. "If you're certain about your feelings, if you know what you want and you're confident you can handle the consequences and everything that comes with it, then I won't stop you."

If Jayson had made up his mind, there was no point in trying to change it.

Her words made Jayson pause. He studied her for a moment, sensing a subtle shift in her attitude.

Then he turned to Liam. "How soon can you schedule the surgery?"

"Tomorrow morning."

Jayson slowly reached out and held Ariel's hand, swallowing hard. "Alright. Begin preparations."
