Chapter 206

Author: Tightrope
Nancy went up to Janice as soon as she entered the room. She held out her hand, acting like they had never had any past conflicts or disputes. "I hope we'll enjoy a good, fruitful experience working together this time."

Janice pointed to Ariel, who was beside her. She raised her brows. "You can tell that to Ari. I'm not the person you should be saying that to."

She did not hold or shake Nancy's hand either.

Nancy's fingers curled slightly. She glanced at Ariel out of the corners of her eyes and pulled her hand back. "Alright. Let's get started, then."

She was not going to extend a greeting to Ariel. Nancy sat on the couch opposite them and flipped through the pages of the contract. She did not even bother looking up.

"I had a look at the contract. Faye Tech wants absolute say in deciding when to run the finished product's trial and in Nexura Solutions' manufacturing process?"

Ariel looked at her impassively. "Is there a problem with that?"

Nancy kept her head down as she looked

    Jayson lifted his gaze and looked at Renee, his younger sister who had always lived an easy, comfortable life. "What's a kid like you doing worrying about stuff like that?"Renee grumbled, "Jay, you should be thanking me. I'm not joking about this! I'm already 18. Once I graduate, I can start looking for someone gentle, handsome, and from a family with a background similar to ours."Overall, it'll be good for the Larkin family. At least my marriage won't cause any trouble for us. And once I have a lovely baby, you and Ariel can raise it yourselves."I've thought about it carefully—the man's family shouldn't be as rich or powerful as ours. Just a little less. That way, they won't be in any position to refuse if I decide to let you adopt a few more of my children."Jayson stared at her, speechless. He could tell she was completely serious—she'd even worked out the details. Knowing Renee, she had probably spent a lot of time thinking about this absurd plan."That won't be necessary

    Opportunities like this didn't come often.Samson's face darkened as he stood outside Ariel's ward. He still couldn't stomach the fact that she had ruined his plans yet again.He was not a patient man by nature, and certainly not kind. Seeing his carefully laid plans collapse time after time because of the same woman filled him with bitter resentment.By the time he reached Ariel's door, Samson snapped out of his thoughts and frowned slightly. Even he wasn't sure what he was thinking.He pushed the door open. The room was empty for Ariel. Samson walked over, his eyes cold as he looked down at her peaceful face. Memories of the past few months flashed through his mind—Ariel sabotaging his plans, interfering with his schemes, and ultimately becoming the reason Cecilia was arrested and detained.He had every reason to hate Ariel.Lying there, she looked frail and defenseless.His gaze trailed slowly from her face to her nose and lips, then down to her neck.His hand lifted almos

    Wade eventually noticed someone was looking at him. When he lifted his head and saw Janice, he stopped in his tracks. His expression didn't change—still cool and detached, as though nothing could ruffle him."What are you doing here?"Janice could tell he wasn't really concerned; the question sounded more like a polite habit than genuine interest. Even if she were the one hospitalized, Wade would probably ask the same thing out of courtesy.Still, she felt nervous speaking to him. She pressed her lips together. "A friend of mine had surgery recently. I came to visit her.""Well, I'm glad you're alright."Wade gave a brief nod and was about to walk away. That was when Janice noticed the garment draped over his arm—clearly not something a man would wear.It was a light gray knitted cardigan, soft and delicate, unmistakably feminine.Janice stared at it for a while before asking, "Has Alicia fallen sick again?"The word "again" made Wade frown slightly, irritation flickering acr

    Liam studied Jayson with a suspicious look in his eyes. "I noticed something unusual when examining Ariel's uterus."Jayson didn't seem surprised. He slowly lifted his gaze and met Liam's eyes.Then he said something that only the two of them understood. "Well, your instincts are probably right."…Ariel was transferred to the VIP ward next to Jayson's.Her family and friends followed closely behind, entering the room with quiet relief. At the end of the corridor, Lucas stood watching everything unfold. He had arrived earlier, just as Ariel was taken into surgery. But he knew he had no right to join the others as family.He had done Ariel wrong and hurt her time and time again.Seeing her survive the surgery brought him a sense of relief. For the first time in days, he felt like he could breathe.He walked to the smoking area. With trembling hands, he lit a cigarette and exhaled slowly, a wry smile forming on his lips. What was he still hoping for? Too much had changed. He

    Katie felt her legs buckle as she took in the scene before her. She sank into a nearby chair, struggling to catch her breath.Leonard quickly patted her back. "She'll be fine. I'm sure it's just one of the common complications that can arise during surgery. Ariel's in the hands of top experts. I'm confident there won't be any major problems."Still, Katie remained visibly shaken.Janice clung to Chad's arm. "Chad, Ari's surgery isn't going to fail, right?"Chad looked at her pale face, then turned his gaze to the red light glowing above the operating room door. "It won't. Ari will pull through. The doctors will do everything they can to save her."Janice's heart was pounding so loudly it was driving her mad. She glanced over at Jayson.He sat rigidly in his wheelchair, gripping the armrests so tightly that the veins on his hands bulged. He didn't seem to notice or care that the wound on his back had reopened from the strain.Janice spotted a dark red patch spreading across the b

    Ariel was still unconscious, suffering from recurring bouts of fever.The recent string of traumatic events had taken a heavy toll on her—physically and emotionally.Jayson stayed by her side all night, watching over her.The next morning, he personally contacted Katie and Leonard, asking them to come to the hospital. He also informed Chad and Janice, knowing they were Ariel's closest friends. They would want to be there for her, especially before such a major surgery.Deep down, Jayson hoped that having more loved ones nearby might somehow bring good luck and positive energy to Ariel.She briefly regained consciousness before being transferred to the operating room.Jayson managed to sit up and get into a wheelchair so he could wait outside.Betty arrived at the hospital too. Her eyes were filled with sorrow as she approached Jayson and took in the sight of him in the wheelchair. "I'll give you this—you're a responsible man. Your mother told me everything. She said you've alrea
