Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 She Decided to Stop the Treatment 

Avery counted until he got into the car, yet he did not turn back, not even once. 

Forgotten by everyone, Avery remained motionless on the ground. Although the after-effects of chemotherapy had diminished a lot from their initial intensity, she was weak. The fall a moment ago seemed to have shattered her bones. 

John and the others went to see Jacob off. Madison used to be there, but she had left. After her departure, the huge mansion seemed empty. 

There was a light dusting of snow. The icy coldness surrounded Avery, and she felt her hands and feet freezing. 

How she wished someone could come to her rescue, no matter who that person might be. 

Her bag was just a short distance away, but she was too weak to even flip over and grab her phone. 

She could only watch the snowflakes flying in the air as tears silently slid down her cheeks. She whispered and counted, "885, 886...." 

As Avery counted to 1038, she felt much better and slowly propped herself up with her other hand to get to her feet. 

At this moment, she was freezing all over, and by the time the car she hailed arrived, her nose was red from the cold. She couldn't hold her injured hand up, so she extended the other one to breathe on it. 

"Miss, it's really cold, huh? Are you going to the hospital alone? It's so late now. You should be careful. It's better to have your family with you. You're so pretty. There have been reports of single girls going missing recently." 

The driver noticed that she was going to the hospital alone at this late hour and reminded her. 

Avery put her hand down. The car's heater gradually warmed her up. She looked at the scenery, which was passing by quickly outside, and a faint smile crept upon her lips. "Thanks, sir. I'm fine. My relatives will come in a while." 

She didn't have any family left in this world, though. 

Luckily, Nicholas should have gotten off work at this hour. Avery had reserved an appointment with a doctor on duty.
