Reclaiming the CEO's Heart

Chapter 75 Avery Instinctively Waved Her Hands

He sneered, stretched out to grab her wrist, took her into his arms, and picked her up. There was no gentleness in his movements. Instead, he sullenly imprisoned her with roughness. Avery instinctively waved her hands. When her fingers accidentally touched his neck, she quickly moved them away in fright. But the residual warmth remained on her fingertips. "Jacob, let go!"

Her feeble struggle couldn't sway him. So, he walked out with her in his arms and stepped on the thick snow, making a crunching sound.

He didn't say a word. So, the silence almost suffocated her when she was carried back into the ward. The heater inside was on and gradually warmed her cold body.

Ethan didn't know what had happened, so he shuffled over, intending to throw himself into her arms. Looking at his face covered with snot and tears, Avery subconsciously stretched out her arms to hug him. But Jacob picked him up by the collar with one hand and coldly ordered, "John, send Ethan back."

"Yes."

John was relieved to see Avery safe.

Nolan checked her body, put her on a drip again, and patiently said, "Your white blood cell count is low. Take care of yourself. Otherwise, you might die."

Avery nodded and stared at the white celling like walking dead. Jacob had long cut off her escape route. He didn't even give her a chance to die. What else could she do?

"I see."

"You'd better be obedient."

Jacob coldly looked away from her face and strode out of the ward. When Nolan cautiously followed him, the cold aura lingered around the latter. When he suddenly stopped, Nolan also braked. Then, he gloomily looked back and coldly said, "Nolan, find out why her white blood cell count is so low!"

Everything today was weird. Avery had unexpectedly jumped off the building without hesitation. She had always been in good health. Why had her white blood cell count become so low when she had a fever? But she had fainted at every turn some time ago, so Jacob felt things were not that simple.

Nolan nodded, "Yes, Mr. Hill. I will give Mrs. Hill an overall medical examination tomorrow. Don't worry. Although she has not had a medical examination in the past two years, her physical condition was good two years ago. She must not have any chronic disease. It might be an acute illness."

"I hope so."

Nolan nodded, bowed, and left, fearing to anger Jacob again. He immediately returned to the office and printed the checklist of the medical examination Avery would have.

Avery's fever finally subsided at night. The nurse woke her in the morning and said, "Ms. Adams, it's time for the medical examination."

Avery was groggy. But hearing her words, she sobered up and asked, "What medical examination?"

The nurse patiently explained, "You need a further examination."

Hearing this, Avery felt a cold shiver of fear run through her, suspecting Jacob had discovered something.
