Reclaiming the CEO's Heart novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 The Final Journey

Isabella mumbled to herself, "Look at how foolish I am, getting hard of hearing at such a young age. Haha, I actually heard you say you have stomach cancer. My ears must have been irritated by that scumbag..."

Avery gently pressed her hand. "Bella, face reality."

Isabella stopped and looked up with teary, blurry eyes. "You're joking, right?"

However, Avery's gaze was incredibly serious. "You know I never joke. The reason I cut my hair short last time was for chemotherapy."

Tears that had been welling up in Isabella's eyes finally fell. She tightly held onto Avery's hand, still finding it hard to believe. "It must be a misdiagnosis. It has to be! You're so young, as strong as an ox. How could you possibly have this illness?"

Avery helped her sit down and recounted the whole story.

Isabella's face was already wet with tears. She had always felt that cancer was far from them. When it happened right beside her, it felt like a dream.

"It's... It's okay. Medical technology is very advanced now. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you'll be fine."

Isabella used the back of her hand to wipe away some tears. "I'm sorry. I had no idea all this was happening to you. When it's time for chemotherapy, I'll go with you. I have some wealth now. Not working for a year is no big deal. I'll stay by your side and help you get through this illness."

Avery just shook her head gently, looking vacantly out of the window. "Bella, will you accompany me to see the Northern Lights?"

"Of course. Once you're better, I'll get you not just the Northern Lights but even the stars from the sky."

"Someone once said they could pick stars for me too."

Isabella wanted to pry open her mind. "You and your damned love-struck mind. He doesn't want you anymore, so why are you still thinking about him? If I were you, I'd focus on getting better, then find a dozen men to make him jealous."

"Bella, it's not his fault. He's sick, too."
