Reclaiming the CEO's Heart

Chapter 49 Embracing Change

After the divorce, life was not as sad for Avery as she had imagined. Isabella stayed with her at home for a few days, preparing various nutritious meals to help her recover. Avery's complexion gradually improved visibly.

The impact of chemotherapy on her became less pronounced. While she couldn't return to her previous state, she no longer experienced frequent bouts of dizziness.

The wound on her arm healed once again. Recently, her hair loss had also lessened. Everything seemed to be heading in a positive direction.

Isabella was genuinely happy for her. After all, they had been sleeping together for the past few days, with Avery no longer curled up in the crib. Isabella believed that Avery would eventually move forward. Seeing her recovering well, Isabella suggested, "The class monitor has organized a class reunion. Since we have nothing else to do, let's go together."

"I..." Avery was about to refuse, but Isabella interrupted her.

"Most of our former classmates have achieved success in their careers. Didn't you want to find a good neurologist? Maybe one of the big shots among our classmates has connections in that field." "Besides, you always say that time is limited for you. So, it's even more important not to waste it at home. Going out for a change of scenery would be good."

Seeing Avery's embarrassment, Isabella immediately understood her thoughts. In the past, Avery was not only a typical second-generation rich kid but also a promising talent recognized by her mentor. Her future was limitless.

Compared to her former classmates, she couldn't hold her head up high anymore. The Adams family had gone bankrupt, and she had dropped out of school without completing her studies.

"I'm telling you. You're just too thin-skinned. Look at me: I quit medicine and real estate, and I'm now the top seller. I'm not embarrassed. You, on the other hand, are a little rich woman with over a billion in assets. Oh wait, didn't that scumbag also give you a stake in the Hill Group?"

There were many clauses in the divorce agreement, and in terms of finances, Jacob could be considered generous. Although he didn't take away half of her wealth, what he left for Avery was something she wouldn't be able to spend in a lifetime. Just the shares she held in the Hill Group brought in annual dividends of over 20 million dollars.

Not to mention other non-movable properties. In order to compensate or perhaps to completely sever ties with Avery, he was not a scoundrel when it came to this aspect.

Avery couldn't resist Isabella's request and had to agree.

Looking at the flood of news online about Jacob's engagement banquet in a month, Avery realized that Isabella was not wrong. No matter how long she had left to live, she should step out. "Alright."

"That's more like it. Back in the day, so many people secretly admired you. What if there's still a handsome guy who's still pining for you? Don't shortchange yourself. While you're young, you should make the most of it."

Avery thought carefully for a moment and asked, "Will David come?"

"Of course he will. But David... while he's a good person, he's not exactly easy on the eyes. Could it be that the scumbag has shattered your sense of aesthetics?"

Avery shook her head. "No, I just heard that after he graduated, he inherited his father's business and has been thriving in the funeral industry. I thought, for a class reunion, it wouldn't hurt to ask him for a good burial site, right?"

Avery's tone was remarkably calm, but in Isabella's ears, the meaning had changed. Her heart felt a pang of sadness. "Tsk, tsk, don't say such inauspicious things."

Avery took Isabella's hand gently. "Bella, this is a fact. You have to try to accept it. Everyone will pass away one day."
