Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 How Is My Father

"Doctor, how is my father?"

Avery was so nervous that she tightly grasped her sleeves, fearing her father had died.

"Fortunately, we rescued him in time. Avery, I won't hide it from you. Your father's current condition is dangerous. It would be best to find Leon's top brain specialist and ask him to perform a craniotomy as soon as possible. Otherwise, we might be unable to save your father next time."

Avery's heart sank to the bottom again. She was eager to find Leon but didn't have any connections. Nicholas had helped her look for him but failed.

When the nurses wheeled Martin out, he kept his eyes closed with a weak face. Seeing him, Avery said, "Dad."

But there was no response like a stone thrown into a well.

Martin's exposed hands were thin and old. He had aged a lot in the past two years. There was an indwelling needle on the back of his hand. And the skin was loose. It was no longer the big hand that had led her home.

Avery cried in a sobbing voice, "Dad, please wake up and look at me."

No matter what he had done to others, he had always treated her well. So she could watch him die without doing anything. Suddenly, she remembered Jacob had said he could find Leon when she had jumped off the building.

It was not surprising that he could find Leon because of his connections and financial resources. But he would not have told her about it if her life had not been in danger.

She knew Jacob hated Martin and herself but had no choice but to ask him for help. She had decided not to contact him two days ago. Unexpectedly, she had to beg him again so soon.

Avery wiped off her tears, settled Martin down, and asked John for Jacob's location. Then, she took a taxi to Grande Club.

It was an extravagant orgy where female dancers in revealing clothes were twisting their enchanting bodies. Men and women in the corners were kissing. And the booths were full of people drinking and laughing.

But the excitement belonged to other people when Avery hurriedly walked toward the private room inside.

Jacob disliked this kind of place the most. When he hung out with friends, he usually chose quiet places.

After John led her to the room, she pushed open the door.

It was a large and luxurious private room that could accommodate hundreds of people. Even though many people were inside, Avery spotted Jacob in the crowd at a glance.

He quietly leaned back on the leather seat with his eyes closed, looking incompatible with the noisy surroundings. When he closed his sharp eyes, he looked harmless.

Next to him was a handsome man wearing gray home clothes. He had his bare feet in a foot bath bucket and a furry eyeshade around his neck. Others had either whiskey or champagne, but he had vegetable juice. Jacob used this place as a hotel, while he used it as a health spa.

A scantily clad woman moved to Jacob's side and boldly leaned over to kiss his lips. When her strong perfume hit his face, he suddenly woke up. After he opened his eyes, he saw her red lips and subconsciously threw her out without mercy.
