My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) novel Chapter 557

Jane was wiping her tears at that time. The moment she heard what he said, she froze and stared at him.

Cooper looked at the buttons on the elevator and continued, “It was considered late when I realized I had stage three lung cancer since I had to undergo chemotherapy, and there was no guarantee that my disease could be cured. I wasn't afraid of dying, but I owed Genev too much. I was worried no one could take care of her and manage the company if I died. That was why I decided to try it, no matter how small my chances of recovery were. After that, I lied to her by telling her that I was going on a business trip abroad. During that time, for more than a month, I was undergoing chemotherapy at the hospital. It was really tough, but I survived it. However, I recently fainted and went for a checkup at the hospital. The doctor told me there were signs of relapse of my lung cancer.”

Jane used to think that Cooper was ruthless, decisive, and omnipotent as Armand in the business world.

She did not expect him to be as pitiful as her.

Cooper said gently, “When you were forced to have a marriage of convenience with the Wood family last time, you didn't give up on living, and you've worked hard to live your own life, didn't you? You should do the same now. I've been looking for a doctor who can treat your heart disease. I'll let you know once I find him.”

“Mm.” Jane felt better in an instant, and the despair she felt eased up eventually.

When the elevator arrived on the first floor, she walked out with him.

“I only told you about my illness to comfort you, but don't tell Genev about it,” Cooper chirped.

She nodded.

The resort was huge, and entertainment facilities were readily available. The film festival's opening ceremony was on the west section of the entertainment center while the hotel was on the north. Therefore, they had to walk for quite some time to return to the hotel.

It was already over eleven o'clock at night. The air was damp and cold, which made people shiver.

Cooper noticed that Jane was wearing a thin, long dress. Since he knew she had a weak body, he put his suit jacket on her like a gentleman.

His warmth lingered on the insides of his suit jacket. When Jane felt the exceptional warmth and smelled the subtle scent of cedar from the suit jacket, she felt a little dizzy.

Suddenly, she trotted toward him, getting closer to him.

“Coop.”

Stopping in his tracks, he turned around. “Yeah?”

Gathering her courage, she gazed at him intently. “I like you. Romantically,” she confessed.

Stunned for a moment, Cooper displayed a look of surprise. “Have you gone mad?”

She pursed her pink lips and mumbled, “No. I've fallen for you a long time ago.”
