All Chapters of Dead at Heart: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Ariel was referring to the cooling-off period.Jayson slipped one hand into his pocket and looked at her coldly. "I'll let you know if I have time tomorrow."Ariel frowned at his answer.But come to think of it, Jayson was even more eager than she was to get the divorce over with.After giving it some thought, she said, "Please keep it in mind. I'll remind you when the time comes."With that, she turned to leave.Jayson glanced at the handbag she had left on the sink and called out leisurely, "You forgot your bag."When Ariel looked back, he had already picked it up and was handing it to her.Not far off, Nancy and Matt happened to be walking by. They caught the moment Jayson handed Ariel her bag.Nancy frowned.Even Matt hesitated for a moment, then blurted out, "Ariel's not thinking… about getting back together, is she?"It didn't seem impossible.Ariel trying to rekindle things with Jayson in private was totally within reason. After all, she had been crazy about him befo

Gary looked genuinely surprised. He gave Ariel another once-over. "Promising young talent, indeed. You've accomplished quite a lot at such a young age, Ms. Walker."He suspected she wasn't just any ordinary engineer. Otherwise, Chad wouldn't go out of his way for her.Even Jackson turned his attention toward Ariel now. He eyed her from head to toe before letting out a pleased chuckle. "Ariel, you've got the looks and the presence. Say, are you and Chad a couple?"Though in his 80s, Jackson was still sharp and spirited. His question was loud enough for the surrounding guests to catch the gist.Even Jayson lifted his gaze and glanced over.Chad rubbed his nose. He noticed Jayson glancing their way, so he leaned in toward the two elders and said softly, "Not yet."Jackson's interest clearly grew. He lit up like a child. "Then you'd better hurry! She's quite the catch—pretty and capable. There'll be no shortage of men lining up for her. Wait too long, and someone else will snatch her

Chad pressed his lips into a thin line, worry flickering in his eyes as he glanced at Ariel.But Ariel wasn't shaken by what Alan had said because she knew that it was the truth.Perry hadn't left yet. He walked over to Ariel and said, "Don't worry. Jayson will be fine."Pressing her lips together, Ariel turned to the dark bloodstain on the ground. It was obvious that Jayson's injury wasn't minor.She rubbed her temples wearily, then finally said, "Thanks."The Spencer family moved fast to contain the incident.After a quick inspection, it was confirmed that the navigation system had malfunctioned, which led to the drone losing control.Jackson soothed the guests and gave a final order. "Keep this quiet. We'll apologize to Mr. Larkin in person another day."…After leaving the Spencer residence, Ariel was still frowning. She glanced at the time. It was already 9:30 pm.She didn't know which hospital Jayson had been taken to and how badly he was hurt.For something like this

Jayson turned to the side to look at Nancy. "Thank you."Perry looked at his arm. "Do you need a bandage change soon?"Jayson gave a quiet hum in acknowledgement.Matt let out a long sigh. "You're really something. You were so worried about Nancy that you didn't even think of yourself."That drone, plus its payload, weighed over 130 pounds. It was heavier than Nancy herself.It wasn't surprising that Jayson would throw himself forward without hesitation.The shock was that he had protected the wrong person in that split second of darkness and chaos. Thankfully, Nancy had come out of it completely unharmed.Hearing Matt say that, Nancy frowned a little. Her feelings were a complex blend of worry, gratitude, and joy.Perry, though, still hadn't fully recovered from the scare. If Jayson hadn't mistaken the two, it would've been Ariel who got hurt.At that thought, Perry asked, "What happened at that time? How did you get them mixed up?"Jayson stirred the soup in the bowl with a

Ariel was right. Jayson didn't say any of that.She didn't spare Colton another glance as she pushed open the door to the ward.She understood exactly what Colton meant. Even though she was once Jayson's wife, she had to make way for Nancy, like some secret lover sneaking around to avoid being seen.When Ariel stepped inside, Jayson looked up briefly from his laptop. Seeing her, he didn't look surprised at all.It was just past 9:00 am.Ariel walked over and placed the breakfast she had bought on the table next to him. "I picked these up downstairs. Have you eaten?"Jayson glanced at the bag.The truth was, he had never touched these cheap, prepackaged breakfasts from convenience stores. And Ariel knew his habits well. He usually ate around 7:30 am. She wasn't here to actually feed him. This was just a courtesy.Jayson's eyes lingered on her face for a moment, then flicked back to the food on the table. He said calmly, "You didn't have to."Ariel acted like she didn't hear the
