The CEO Gets What He Wants novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572 Encountering Claire

Saturday arrived in a blink of an eye, and it was time for Avery to attend the checkup at the hospital with Alina.

Cayden was busy, so he couldn't accompany Avery. Still, he asked Jake to drive Avery to the hospital.

Additionally, he asked Avery to take a picture of the examination reports for him.

Just as Avery arrived at the hospital entrance, she received a call from her aunt. “I'm in Room 606. It's at building No. 6. Once you arrive, you can go in directly.”

Avery followed her aunt's direction and headed to her destination. However, when she arrived at the hospital's lawn, she saw Claire in a business suit.

Claire was clutching her chest with a wince and hurrying to the hospital entrance.

Then, she vanished into a corner without spotting Avery.

Avery wanted to greet her but couldn't do it in time.

Furrowing her eyebrows, she wondered why Claire seemed to be in such a hurry. Is she sick? Why isn't anyone by her side? Also, for some reason, every time I see her, I'd experience a strange, pleasant feeling, even though she's Nicole's mother. She told me to leave Cayden in the past, but that somehow doesn't diminish the familiarity I felt toward her.

She shook her head, halting her thoughts, and resumed her journey.

A few minutes later, she arrived at the room her aunt mentioned.

She knocked on the door and went in.

Jake waited on the bench in the corridor.

Inside the office, a middle-aged female specialist with glasses examined Alina's mammary gland by hand.

“Your situation isn't looking good, Alina. I think you need an operation. If you drag this out, your condition will only worsen,” the specialist uttered seriously as she stared at Alina with a sorry look.

Alina grimly touched her chest with tears in her eyes.

When she saw Avery entering the room, she stifled her sorrow and waved at her niece with a smile. “This is my niece that I mentioned to you before, Avery Rumpley. Please give her a checkup today as well. As you said, this cancer is likely to be passed down from generation to generation, so I'm worried she might end up like me.”

Then she pulled Avery's hand and introduced her to the doctor. “Ery, this is Gigi. She's a professor who graduated from Dellmoor University and majors in mammography. Currently, she's the doctoral supervisor at Summerbank University's Department of Medicine. She's particularly experienced in treating breast cancers and is the mammography expert here. I'll feel more at ease if she personally examines you.”

In comparison to the stylish Alina, Gigi Larson appeared quite plain.

However, she had a wise and refined vibe to her.

Avery greeted politely, “Nice to meet you, Gigi.”

Immediately, Gigi took a liking to the meek and well-mannered Avery.

As she studied Avery, she joked, “I didn't expect your niece to be all grown-up and be this beautiful, Alina. You sure hid her well from me. If I knew you had such a gorgeous niece, I would've asked my son to chase after her. Then, we'd be in-laws. Tsk, I bet you only revealed her existence now because you're about to become a grandaunt. I'm disappointed, Alina.”

“Forget about it. Your son lives in Jetroina and only returns here a few times yearly. I don't want my niece to marry someone who lives in another country. Women who did do that tend to be unlucky. If something bad happens to them, they can't even complain about it to someone. I prefer my Ery to stay in the country.” Alina sighed.
