The One He Dismissed Became The One He Died For novel Chapter 94

Watching her remain silent, the warmth completely bled out of Miles's eyes.

He slowly straightened up.

"Miles, I..." Claire racked her brain, desperate for a smooth excuse.

His tone went flat, stripped of all emotion. "Save it. I understand."

"Susan's surgery is scheduled for next Monday. I'll be the lead surgeon. Her private room and post-op care are fully arranged, and the entire medical bill has been covered."

Miles turned toward the door.

"We are officially even, Claire. This is where it ends."

"You really are exhausting."

Just before he pulled the door shut, he reached outside, grabbed a shopping bag, and dropped it inside.

Dead silence claimed the locker room.

Claire walked over.

Inside the designer bag was a set of dry, impeccably tailored clothes.

She pulled them out—the fabric was luxurious, and the sizing was perfect.

She was exhausting?

If she was so exhausting, why was he so painfully thoughtful even when breaking ties with her?

A dull ache throbbed in her temples.

The suffocating pain in her chest started to spread, digging tiny, sharp claws into her ribs.

She changed into the dry clothes, slipped out of the venue, and went straight to the Jenner residence.

George Jenner barely looked up from his armchair. "Well? Did you secure the contract?"

"No. It was a celebration for the Vanderbilt family. Nathan didn't want to talk business."

"You're useless. You were supposed to initiate the conversation!"

Claire's voice was devoid of emotion. "Mom's surgery is next Monday. You need to go to the hospital and sign the consent forms."
