Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Choose

Standing at the door, Jacob furrowed his brows. Not long ago, he had arranged for Avery to undergo a full-body check-up. She should be fine.

However, the amount of blood flowing from Avery seemed to exceed that of a normal nosebleed. It looked horrifying.

Seeing his worried look, Lily came to her senses and said, "Don't worry. Avery liked to feign illness since she was little."

Layla chimed in, "Mom, I never expected my sister to be so scheming, trying to seek attention in this way."

"Yeah, she was bad-natured at birth. She becomes so arrogant because her father has spoiled her."

Lily turned to look at Jacob and continued, "Jacob, you must not be deceived by her. She has always been in good health. How could it be possible for her to have a nosebleed from just a light touch on her face? I didn't even touch her nose."

"Alright, enough. How could a nosebleed be faked?" Ben cut in.

"What can't be faked these days?" Lily retorted.

"I'm wondering if Avery is really your daughter," Jacob said, coldly staring at her.

Lily was taken aback. "Of course."

"I thought Layla was your biological daughter." Jacob's words were so ironic that Lily couldn't maintain her composure and didn't know how to respond.

Just as she was about to speak, the door lock turned, and Avery appeared at the door.

There was a large patch of mottled bloodstains on her chest due to her inability to dodge quickly enough, and her nose was temporarily plugged with tissue.

Her thin face looked even paler now, and she looked as if she were about to fall at any second.

Feeling no guilt, Lily asked, "I didn't touch your nose just now. Did you pretend?"

Her mother questioned her instead of expressing her concern.

Avery didn't want to say a word. She pushed Lily aside and walked outside.
