Chapter 66 Asking about Her Condition
Jacob finally believed it to some extent. Isabella wouldn't dare to deceive him.
"She was sick a while ago?"
"Yes, during that time, I ignored her because I was breaking up with that scumbag. Luckily, Nic cooked
for her every day."
Isabella originally wanted to tell Jacob the truth, but their relationship was so complicated that even
Avery probably couldn't explain it clearly. She didn't know what kind of consequences would arise from
revealing the truth to this man, so she could only abide by Avery's decision.
Thinking about Avery's pale face during that time, Jacob asked again, "What kind of illness did she
have?"
Isabella's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't have even the slightest hint of expression on her face
under Jacob's sharp eyes. "Just a cold."
"Just a cold?"
"What else could it be? Avy has always been healthy."
"That's true." Jacob agreed. She acted so weakly, probably just trying to gain sympathy and prevent a
divorce from him.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Jacob stood up and said, "If you're interested, you can go to This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Hill Real Estate to work tomorrow."
Isabella's eyes lit up. Hill Real Estate was the real estate division of the Hill Group. If she could work
there, who else could make her feel inferior?
"Thank you, Mr. Hill."
Watching Jacob leave, Isabella caught up with him and asked, "Mr. Hill, I haven't been able to reach
Avy on her phone. Have you seen her?"
Jacob turned to look at her. "What do you think?"
He was right here, so why was she asking such a silly question?
Isabella scratched her head. "I asked something unnecessary. I'm just a little worried about Avy."
Jacob ignored her and continued to leave. After much thought, Isabella finally gathered the courage to
speak up, "Mr. Hill, if you still love her, please treat her well and stop hurting her. She has you in her
heart."
Although Jacob cheated on Avery, it seemed that he still had feelings for her. Isabella only hoped that
Avery wouldn't have any regrets in the limited time she had left.
Upon learning that Jacob wasn't with Avery, Isabella felt relieved. Maybe Avery's phone was on mute.
She must be on her way home with Nic now.
Little did Isabella know that Avery was locked in the bathroom and that Jacob turned off the lights
before leaving.
Avery used to be fearless, but after falling into the water, she watched Jacob leave with Layla, while
she held onto her belly, gradually being swallowed up by the darkness.
She was afraid that her child would leave her.
When she woke up again, she found herself on the operating table in the hospital, with bright white
lights overhead. In pain, she bid farewell to her child.
Since that, she had been afraid of both darkness and excessively bright light.
In the narrow bathroom, filled with cold water, although it wasn't suffocating, it reminded her of the day
she fell into the water.
She desperately pleaded, hoping someone could save her.
However, the soundproof walls on the 38th floor drowned out all her cries.
Just like that day, even if she screamed until she lost her voice, she couldn't change the outcome.
Avery's body had lost all warmth, and her voice had long since become hoarse. She was cold and
numb, her voice gradually weakening.
"Help, someone helps me."
