Chapter 557
Jane was wiping her cars at that time. The monicul Shichicard what lie said she froze and stared at him.
Cooper looked at the buttons on the elevator and continued, “It was considered latc whicul realized I had stage three lung cancer since I had to undergo chemoterapy, and there was no guarantee that my disease could be cured. I wasn’t afraid of lying, but lowed Gency too much. I will wonic no one could take care oflicr and manage the company if I died. That was why I decided to try it, 110 matter how small my chances of recovery were. After that, I lied to lier by telling her that I was going on a business trip abroad. During that time, for more than a montli, I Wils undergoing chemotherapy at the hospital. It was really tough, but I survived it. However, recently fainted and went for a checkup at the liospital. The doctor told me there were signs of relapse of my lung cancer.”
Janc used to think that Cooper was ruthless, decisive, and omnipotent as Armand in thc 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 cased 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.”
Jane’s biological motlier would always sigh when she brought Jane for checkups at the hospital. Jane’s mother used to say to her, “Why is your body so srail when you’re this beautiful? What’s the point of being a beauty, tlien?”
After Armand brought Jane to Jadeborough, Cooper was the one who took her abroad to visit the doctor every time.
Despite the usual unfavorable results, Cooper always said, “It’s okay. Humans can even build rockets, so why can’t we overcome a mere heart surgery?”
Jane had already fallen for Cooper then, but she kept it hidden in her heart since she did not dare IO suy inything.
However, when she learned that he understood her, and his words consoled her again, she decided to tell him.
The man recovered from his initial shock, and his face now displayed an ice-cold expression. He said in a cold and heartless tone, “I’ll only love Genev for as long as I live, so you’d better use your time doing something meaningful.”
She knew he would turn her down, but she could not help feeling sad when he said it,
“Liking you is a very meaningful thi-”
He interrupted her before she could finish, “Jane, you’re an intelligent woman. Don’t make yourself look like a fool and struggle unnecessarily. I believe Armand didn’t tell you something.” After a pause, he continued, “Samantha is my mother.”
After Cooper turned around and left, she was still frozen in place.
What did he just say?
Taking out her phone, she called Steven. Once she got a confirmation from him, she could not believe it at all and stood outside the hotel in the cold for a long time.
