All Chapters of Dead at Heart: Chapter 661 - Chapter 670

Ariel went back to her room to rest without a care about what Jayson was thinking. She had said everything she needed to say. Now that he knew about her pregnancy, she wouldn't hide her plans from him.Jayson stayed in the living room for a long while, staring at the gardenia on the table.His phone in his pocket buzzed repeatedly. When he finally checked it, he noticed some work calls and one call from an international number.He stepped out onto the balcony to dial that number.When he returned, it was nearly midnight.Ariel hadn't eaten anything.He entered the kitchen. She usually took good care of herself, so the fridge was stocked with fresh fruits and vegetables.He had spent a few years in Merinia, so he could cook for himself and knew the basics of cooking. But now that Ariel was pregnant, there were a lot of things to be careful about.Before he started cooking, he went through a bunch of tutorials and articles—what foods were best for pregnant women, how to boost nut

Samson returned to his usual self and strolled over casually. "You just got here?"Ariel nodded while putting away the blueprints.She thought that the fleeting look of complex emotion she had just seen on him was just an illusion because he was now smiling casually as always. His eyes reflected her features."You look a little worn out. Is the work here stressing you? Maybe you should take a breather. Elsie is assigned to help with a lot of your tasks. You can use her as much as you want. It'll also teach her a thing or two."Ariel knew that, but she preferred to handle important matters herself. Of course, she wouldn't neglect guiding Elsie. She just prioritized what mattered most."I know. I will," she replied.Then, she asked, "Is Yeager Group still giving you a hard time?"She couldn't just act like nothing had happened. She had to check in at least.Samson shrugged. "It's nothing serious. As you know, my mother's the CEO. They can't just kick me out of Yeager Group. Deali

The doctor's forcefulness only deepened Ariel's unease, especially with his hand clamped on her shoulder so tightly that she couldn't move at all."What are you doing? I never agreed to any injection!" Ariel had a sharp intuition about certain things, and the feeling that something was off kept intensifying."Ms. Walker, don't worry. It's just an allergy test." The nurse had stepped in to help the doctor restrain her. Her tone was nonchalant, but her actions were firm.Ariel was sure this wasn't part of the assessment.With her fragile condition, every step should have been weighed carefully by the doctor, and Liam hadn't ordered this.This wasn't a blood draw. It was an injection!"Let go of me!" Ariel shouted, thrashing violently.But her sharp resistance barely slowed them down.The nurse, clearly impatient, used both hands to restrain her.Ariel was suddenly pinned down, forced to watch as the silent man stuck a needle into her vein and pushed a bit of liquid inside.A su

Liam caught the trace of self-mockery and defeat in Jayson's face. For a man like him to look that way, it was obvious that…Jayson's throat bobbed as he clenched his fists and lowered his head. The weight of exhaustion and shock seemed to crush him. Every breath burned in his chest like shards of glass.He lowered his gaze, his lips curving into a silent, self-mocking smile. His eyes held the hollow pain of a man whose hope had burned out, yet he didn't say another word.His whole presence radiated a sharp, suffocating intensity, one that nearly stole the air from the room.Meanwhile, Janice's mind was racing.She didn't explain anything to Jayson. Instead, she turned straight to Liam. Jayson was lost in his own storm, oblivious to everything else."Dr. Spencer, could you…" Janice met Liam's eyes, making her meaning clear.Liam understood. She didn't want him telling Jayson anything about Ariel's condition.He gave a small nod.This was Ariel's private matter, after all. He h

How could Jayson not see Ariel's resolve?She hadn't thought about dealing with him at all. It had been so clear that she didn't want his baby.He even wondered, just how much did Ariel despise him? Were all those years they had spent together ever genuine? Or had it all been because of circumstance, duty, or obligation?Now, with the baby gone, he finally knew how she truly felt.He couldn't come to terms with it, and he couldn't see any reason other than Lucas calling off his marriage. Even lying to himself felt impossible.Ariel didn't know what expression to show, whether for the accident or Jayson's reaction. Exhausted in both body and mind, she didn't even want to speak.Jayson had already risen. His Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Once you recover and your work at the 719 base wraps up, I'll cooperate with whatever you want."With that, he turned and left the ward.He couldn't face her now.In all his 30 years, he had never imagined experiencing this kind of soul-deep
