Chapter 76 Avery Didn't Say Any Nonsense

Although Nolan had slept for only three hours last night, he was energetic. Seeing Jacob not present,

he lowered his voice and said, "Mrs. Hill, Mr. Hill cares about you. He specifically asked me to arrange All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

a physical examination for you."

Really?

Avery felt his words were ridiculous.

Jacob had arranged a medical examination to make sure she would not die. Otherwise, he could not

continue to torture her. But she was curious how he would react when he knew she had stomach

cancer.

"Start it."

Avery didn't say any nonsense. After all, she had no choice now.

There were many examination items, but gastroenteroscopy was excluded. After all, it was tiring.

Before taking anesthesia for the examination, the patient needed to take laxatives in the early morning

and have several loose bowels to empty the intestines and stomach.

Avery was so weak that she could not withstand such torment. In addition, she had married Jacob

since school and always had a regular schedule. So, she should have no gastrointestinal problems.

Nolan didn't think anything was wrong with her stomach, so he didn't ask her to have such

examinations.

The medical examination was urgently processed. Avery had been hungry all morning. Jacob appeared

at the door as soon as she sat down to have porridge.

He was tall and straight with a cold face as ever. He must have come from the company because he

wore a formal suit. And the tie with black and white stripes made him look imposing. It was she who

had bought it for him. Seeing it, she recalled the sweetness she had felt when tying it for him two years

ago. But now, she only felt sad.

Looking at her pale face, Jacob wondered why she always seemed weak when they met. Was there

anything wrong with her body?

Avery broke the silence, saying, "Mr. Hill, don't worry. I won't die. And I won't try to kill myself again."

Then, she continued eating porridge. The back of her fair hand was swollen due to the previous needle

removal. She looked so fragile that he pitied her.

After a night, Jacob was no longer as angry as last night. He asked, "Have the results come out?"

"No."

Hearing him mention the results, she put down the spoon, raised her head to look into his eyes, and

said, "If there is anything wrong with my body, you..."

Jacob interrupted, "What illness can you have?"

Avery stared into his pupils and said, "If I have a terminal illness, will you let me go?"

Jacob heard her question as soon as he sat on the sofa. His heart sank, so he couldn't help

straightening his back. He put his right hand on his left hand, kept rubbing it, and coldly said, "Tell me

what terminal disease you have."

Although Avery had not had a gastroenteroscopy, she had had a contrast-enhanced CT. Even if they

could not confirm whether the tumor was benign, the CT could show the localized thickening of the

gastric wall. If the tumor was large, it might invade other tissues and structures around the stomach.

For example, the left liver. And they could even see surrounding swollen lymph nodes caused by

metastasis. So, the medical examination results would tell him the truth.

When Avery looked into his unfathomable eyes, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Seeing Nolan come in with the report, Avery stopped eating porridge and said, "It seems the results are

out."

When she raised her eyes to look at Jacob, her hand holding the spoon was sweating because of

nervousness.

She was the most curious about how he would react when he knew she had a terminal illness. She

would finally die. Would he feel happy or a little sad?

She had long stopped caring about whether she would die. But the matter seemed to have some

meaning now.
